Going on the basis that Drogheda get deducted 10 points, as it stands if we win our last 3 games we'll be guaranteed Europe :)

You's are 5 points clear of shams, I'm asumming that both Drogs and Cork can't qualify for 3 seasons.
No one seems to know the story with this, its the whole does examinership=administration. If so yes, Drogs and Cork cannot play in europe for 3 years. Id say the FAI dont even know the answer.Quote:

PS Candystipe>> thanks for yer result today. :-)
exciting times to be sure, to be sure
Exciting times is right, think we all need to do our bit and get behind the team this weekend lads.
We won't know till Monday what punishment Drogs will get, more than likely they will get a 10 point deduction as the Licensing Committee will not be meeting till then.
drogs deducted 10 points
The FAI will lend their support to Cork City in their bid to get back into European football next year.
“When a club is in examiner ship they usually get a three year European ban, but if Cork do qualify and get a top four finish then that’s something we would have to explore,” said a leading FAI source.
More.
If this is true I tought they might say something about it on MNS tonight.Quote:

Richmond Park - Tuesday - 7.45pm
Cork City will move into a European qualification place if they can overcome St. Patrick's Athletic at Richmond Park this evening (kick-off 7.45pm)."
As well as Setanta seemingly not wanting us in their premium competition........you could become a paranoid being a BOR supporter!
Brilliant - the ban appears to be meant to apply only if a team doesn't actually qualify for Europe. :pQuote:

Obviously the European ban doesn't apply if you're a "big" club. :/
very bad news. Just hope Bohs do us a favour.:(:(Quote:

Anyone got the price for us to beat Bray on Friday night.:D
3/10 is the early price on betfair.
Found that a bit strange alright....maybe they're betting on Bohs losing their Euro place.......Quote:

If Cork went in to administration yes, but they went in to examinership. The FAI has clarified that it's not the same thing and no 3 year ban applies to examinership.Quote:

There is a fairly good chance we will get an "invite" to the setnata cup as the cup final losers are already in it as are the league cup winnners the alternatives to us would probably be Shels as first divsion winners or Shams as both Dublin based.Quote:
