FAI Cup Result Sligo Rovers 1 Monaghan 2 ?

For want of a better word Dodge. Hence the ' '

They went under so obviously there were 'breaches', 'voilations', 'pick the work you fell most appropriate'.

But as I said, some peoples point is, if they hadnt these off pitch financial problems would they have had a team on the pitch to have won the game! There is a point hear but it is hearsay I suppose cause at the time they beat us fair and square and they still could have gone on and lasted out the season.

That's not the point though. If Sligo got back in the cup, and next year a club gets through 2 rounds before dropping out of the league, what do the FAI do then?

There must be a similar case or a guideline that they are following?

People are taking a retrospective view on it based on the sheriff shels thing recently. But it isint the same atall so thats why I dont have a problem with us not geting back in.

Its a good example you give Dodge but have they actually come out and used the Dublin City case as the precedent or have they even said here is the guideline we follow? To my knowledge or what Ive read they have just said: Rovers aren't geting back in. Thats that.

It makes no sense for cup games as its not points based. Cup games are win or bust and if a team that progresses goes out of business, rearranging x numer of rounds, potentially quite a few,just won't work. It's actually a ridiculous suggestion.

While I would'nt want to be re-admitted to any competition we were beaten on the field in,
what irks me is the fact that league points lost to Monaghan have been reinstated.
Let's say Pats win the league by 2 points with Sligo second, they will have won with points from a
game they lost.
Different scenario from the cup but the same as well!

so even though you know that is a precedent, you want them to explicitely reference that? Get a bleddin' grip

You know why they done it, and its consistent with past efforts. End of story

End of story. What are you the foot police. And read my post, I dont know its a precedent thats why I aksked the question. Its not to much to ask for a simple explanation from the FAI, an association that lack accountability all the time.

It happened the last time. Thats the very definition of a precedent.

Jesus....

Still think an brief explanation now is a simple courtesy to the club and fans and is not too much to ask.
