Ok so no club has confirmed they failked appeal yet. Lets assume that some clubs ahve failed. What does this mean for setting fixtures for new season? Can clubs appeal an appeal?
:confused:
As usual nada on FAI website.
FAI press conference 3.00pm today re licence appeals
Mons :)
i MIGHT be wrong, but thought i just heard on Newstalk Radio that Dublin City failed. They definitely said something about this club while talking about the license appeals
Rumours are that Kildare County, Longford Town, Dublin City and Dundalk have all failed in their bids. I don't know what that'll mean to those clubs if it's true.Quote:

Article on eleven-a-side claiming that the Premier clubs who haven't made an announcement yet - Waterford, Bohs, Longford, UCD and Rovers - have all failed. Just to clarify, this is complete nonsense and shouldn't be believed. As far as I know, UCD will get a licence; am trying to confirm this at the moment.
I'm sure i'd have a different view if was City but surely clubs can't be allowed to fail on missing paperwork indefinitely? Why can't the licening committee just make fone call to club & ask them to deliver certain documents in person?Quote:

This is the 2nd year that clubs have ignored the warnings but after last years fiasco I can see the FAI letting them all off the hook again.The UEFA Licence is the only way to regain any credibility for our league if it is not enforced the clubs who are guilty of reckless trading and putting their own clubs in danger of folding will be the ones who are rewarded.
Dont blame the FAI or the Licencing Committe the problems are entirely of the clubs own making.
As previously stated, Waterford have made an announcement, and have received a licence. So yes, complete nonsense.Quote:

We got ours I know. Agree with you that this is a club issue. The criteria are not that bad, hard work involved but we all say we want a professionally run league.Quote:

Edit - from the Longford forum from BreakingNews.ie - we've gotten our licence.
Try living in the sticks :DQuote:

It now looks like four teams didnt get any licence Dundalk,Longford,Kildare County & Limerick and only 4 Premier Teams got Premier Licences Shels,Harps,Drogheda and one other.All the rest got 1st Division licences only allegdly.
Waterford the sticks?! Ah now!Quote:

No. And apparently we don't. There's apparently no power of relegation/promotion. A three-point penalty would be fair - not as drastic as relegation (which would probably so more harm than good as budgets have already been drawn up and contracts agreed on their basis), but would show that the eL and the FAI are at least taking the issue seriously.Quote:

Three points penalty and a fine seems to be a common penalty - ask Kaiserslautern.
On what aspect is Trev wrong?
Whether or not teams can (read: will) get promoted/relegated on the basis of the UEFA Licence.
taken from dundalk.com
Dundalk Football Club expect to receive their UEFA License early next week after discussions this morning between CEO Sean Connolly and Bob Breen of the FAI. "We are practically there and only have to comply with a number of small legal issues in order to obtain the license. These issues should not take long to resolve and may even be completed by the end of the day".
Issues to be resolved
The awarding of the UEFA License has been delayed until the following two areas are addressed:
1. The receipt of an Auditor's Certificate to Practice.
2. Confirmation by the club's auditors of an existing standing order.
Speaking to dundalkfc.com, the CEO added that "it is unfortunate that this has held up the awarding of the license but we are happy with our progress. It has been a long and arduous process and I expect that these minor problems will be ironed out quickly and that another piece of the jigsaw for our plans at Dundalk FC will be set in place."
what i cant seem to work out the deadline has passed so the clubs get another appeal/ deadline ????
is that fair ???

The only clubs that have admitted that they did not get the licence today (so far) have been Longford and Dundalk from what I can gather, though there seems to be concern about Kildare, DCFC and surprisingly...Bohs.
That eleven-a-side article says waterford have failed, though AFAIK they've confirmed they've received theirs.
dublin city haven't got a license as well?
ONE thing that is for sure is that the league has found itself back in the same place it was last year, in a total f*cking mess !!! I think we should nominate the chimps in dublin zoo to run the league next year!! surely they could do a better job :rolleyes:

add shamrock rovers to this list, confirmed as gettin their license on all news stations
Seeing as we got awarded a Premier Standard licence and
Longford have no licence at all, I think we should take their
place in the Premier :p
Ooops 11 a side webside got i wrong, we got a First Division
licence.

Bohs have got their's according tohttp://gypsiesweb.proboards14.com/in...num=1108126443
ya, but it is up to the league to punish the teams that continue to ignore the criterias instead of letting them appeal there failed appeals!!!!Quote:
