The FAI did nothing at the start so City would have been accused of inaction then. What other players came back from Britain? :confused:Quote:

If I want and am lucky enough to be able to work in three Financial Institutions in the one year, is there anything to stop me.
The court ruled against Cork and their appeal so Healy and Farelly are still not able to play until July but more importantly FIFA won't have to pick up their wage bill from when they signed but were not allowed to play.
Just a disgrace for UEFA, FIFA and the Court of Arbitration, one rule for the big powerful G14 clubs and another for the smaller "less significant" clubs!
I dunno, oone of them :oQuote:

Disgraceful. FIFA are standing firm on it now that it suits them.
Cork should have brought Fifa to a real court because what Fifa are doing has to be illegal surely?
It was the PFA that took up this case, CCFC could not afford to take on FIFA.Quote:

Looks like the lads are now in line to make their City EL debuts in Terryland on July 6th.:cool:
Hopefully they'll take a while to adjust!

Should we go a round or 2, and have league games postponed we might not see the "FIFA 2" in action untill August.
€70,000 in wages and counting
League Cup QF against Bohs on 3rd July I think.
Debut match for the "Two" no doubt.
You're neglecting to factor in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.Quote:

What makes you think City not go in with the FAI?Quote:

Anyway I doubt if the backing or otherwise of the FAI would have been decisive in the CAS decision.
Where did you hear that from?Quote:

They're probably already registered for it.
You can't register a player without full international clearance
Think the inter-toto deadlines are flexible enough though
We are being Ridden Rock Solid by so many people at this stage we should be making money out of it. :mad::eek:
Getting paid to be RRS? We call that prostitution up here in the big smoke. ;)Quote:

Can't come soon enough.
I'm sure the Bohs lads will give Gareth a great reception. :D
