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:
