Wasn't sure on FAI thing but the game was 100% replayed
Now that I think of it wasn't Ollie looking for Shels to be given the three points?. I'll take your word for it on the replay, I genuinely can't recall it.

Just asked a couple of Bohs mates and they say the replay never happened. Ollie demanded ti alright but it was thrown out
Apologies (and I'd have lost huge money on that...)
Ollie was happy for the game to go to a replay as we had a chance of getting the 3 points had it been replayed. This was never a runner... The FAI made a lot of decisions that year that went against Shels, that was just one of them.
No replay and no 3 points awarded to Shels.
I 100% agree a replay should not have taken place.
That wasn't a decision that went against Shels. It was just a decision based on the rules. And as well know "Rules are rules"...Quote:

However you're wrong again Dodge...
The rule allowed the 3 points to be awarded, allowed a replay to take place and allowed Bohemians to be docked points.
The decision could have gone either way. As it happened it went against Shels i.e we were punished for Bohs messing up/knowingly playing suspended players.
Actually, it seems now that there aren't.Quote:

RULE 86. INELIGIBILITY
1. If a player takes part in an official match despite being ineligible, his team shall be sanctioned by forfeiting the match and paying a fine.
2. If a player takes part in a friendly match despite being ineligible, his team shall be sanctioned by forfeiting the match and paying a fine.
3. Unregistered Players and Suspended Players are deemed to be ineligible
Forfeit a friendly?!
How are you not eligible for a friendly anyway?
If you are with a different club and have not received written permission from that club for the player to take part. We have often used friendlies as trials for playersQuote:

Is is a suspended player that Athlone are supposed to have fielded?
Are these the rules that all the clubs signed up to pre season? There seems to be a date of the middle of the season on that pdf file :rolleyes:
Decision confirmed. Waterford given the points. Up to 60 now, two behind Shels and Dundalk. :(
Confirmed where?Quote:

I won't enrage Dundalk fans further by posting how long he played for!
Someone told me that Milo Corcoran confirmed it to a blues supporter after the Limerick match..
I think the Foot.ie Bureau of Investigation has gone a little further than 'I heard he said she saids' at this stage.
