Thanks to this new always as logical precedent from the FAI if a club plays an ineligible player in the cup final nobody would win the cup!
The FAI have just invited Celtic's Under 14 side to come in at the expense of Sherriff FC, it's thought this will be a huge boost to the League Of Ireland in general.
Good point Dodge

Shels have some neck being aghast, they should take their First Division trophy and their oil and keep their head down.
Anyone for fudge?
Not really razor.
Nothing has been proven so it would be in the club's interests to appeal. I mean if they didn't it would be tantamount to conceding that they agree something was up.
The other strange thing is the FAI didn't say how the lad was ineligible, or how it was spotted
May do after appeal of course
Ah don't be jealous cause we're miles better than you.Quote:

IMHO the FAI are just pussing about the scam that was pulled right in front of them so couldn't bring themselves to do the only sensible thing.
That rigged game was actually a thing of beauty, have to respect the parties involved on some levels.
how did the shamrock rovers UCD game finish does anyone know? last time I heard on MNS rovers were winnin 3-0 with UCD down to 10 men..
its 5-0 in injury time
6-0 in the end. Or "5-0" as the Irish Times charitably put it.
Of course you have to appeal but it does feel like the FAI want to punish you for something. (Heaven knows what)Quote:

Ollie would have had this mess sorted by now.
Question:
When Shels win their appeal if it turns out the player has played for Sherrif in earlier rounds against Salthill and College Corinthians is their scope for them to appeal and this years FAI Cup to drag on into the autumn of 2014 like so many GAA county championships.
Same thing was said about Pike, they had knocked Aisling and a few more teams out in previous rounds and people where saying they had as much a right to be re-instated as St.Michaels as the same player played in the previous rounds. The only catch there though was that St.Michaels where the only ones to object so that was probably their reasoning behind letting St.Michaels progress. Because Shels weren't the ones to object it could make this a little messy.Quote:

Great intensity from Rovers, UCD couln't live with it in comparison to previous games where Rovers have started slowly. Finn was outstanding, 0-3 and red card finished it, 0-4 HT, could've been six or seven, six in the end. Just happy with the energy from largely the second string...and O'Neill/Murray/Finn/Dennehy.
The UCD no 6 did still stand out for them though.
John Lester was only signed 2 weeks previous to this game. One issue is that he wasn't registered in time. The 3 club rule may also come into effect but that usually only causes problems when players are looking for international clearance
Sick of playing Rovers.
Probably should have let ye get a late winner in Tallaght last week.
Derry away on Friday without our captain. Ho hum...
