I deleted it after deciding that its just as bad really, well not quite - but its still crappy, it was just another idea that was popping around in the mind of alot of people.

Don't think this has ever happened in Ireland, has it? Or did Drumcondra pull out mid-season?

Aldershot and Maidstone went bust in England in the early 90s - all results annulled. That's about the only local precedent I can think of.

Thats a good enough reason :rolleyes:

So when you finally get to Tallaght, I'll dust off my walking sticks, stumble down and hope a goal is still worth 3 points...

Of the top few, Derry profit most out of this. Gutted.

Gutted for DC's fans obviously, always a sad sight when something you love dies. Furious at whats happening as a result though, absolutely livid. Shels and Cork literally get punished for winning games.

If you are going to come up with a scenario that favours Shels, at least try and find one where every team plays the same number of games.

As said above, expunging either the part completed second series DC results or all their results from both series are the only viable options.

ANd if you chose the former option, you get into another home and away row (as there already is with three series of games).

Ha, I'll give you that. Maybe Shels & Home Farm/ The FC formerly know as Dublin City could ground share out in Santry?

Ha! True, I'm all over the place, I'm understandably upset by this, we played them, beat them, see nothing for it! First round should stand, that better???

Apologies for not seeing past the steam shooting out of my ears!

None of us will ever all be happy. As it stands, if favours Derry more than anyone. Others are disgruntled. If it changes, Derry fans become disgruntled.

It's a horrible situation. I'm sure if it had worked the other way and you lost 3 more points than Cork or Shels you'd be frustrated and angry too. It's only natural - feel like we've just beed robbed.

Dub Cit are gone and Shels fans upset - is there any down side to this?
I suppose we loose a few bob in rent. :(

The Revenue Commissioners have done more for this league in one year than the FAI and the Clubs put together in 50 years.

Rogue clubs (Scumrocks, Shels, Bohs and Cork) straightened out severely.
Makeweight nobodies eliminated.

Screw Niall Quinn I say let them decide who is in the superbundespremierliga A.

I was trying to involve poor old (the FC formerly known as) DC in the thread, it being about their dissolution & all. I do think Shels are on the way out there though.

I feel terrible for the fans of Dublin City:( , I honestly can't imagine what I'd do if that happened to Bray. Also feel sorry for players and staff, hopefully they can land on their feet.

I see where you're coming from to a degree, but how attached can you get to a 5 year old "experiment" ? :confused:

I think one of the Cork teams once went bust mid season. Pretty sure they weren't the only ones.

As for Dublin City, it's great news. They were always just a stick for the league's knockers to beat us with. I'd love to see someone buy dublincityfc.com and stick a load of quotes from Seery and his apologists on it.

The ones I feel most sorry for are Cobh, we deserved to be relegated but they were denied a shot at the premier by that **** take of a club.

tell that to my 10 year old son, he started crying when he heard. As I said before when you follow a team you follow a team. I didnt know any of the bagage that came with Dublin City until I started supporting them, not all people who support a team have done a university degree in the history of the LOI as you must have done based on your knowledge of the irish game.

Rocky always made sure the players were paid & that has to be to his credit. i know a lot of people don't like Rocky, but I�m proud to call him a friend. He has put his own money into the club & he is the biggest loser in money terms. It was me that instigated the deal with Carroll's. As a Director of Carroll's I have put money into the club, but we didn't bank roll it. I�ve had over 4 years of fantastic craic & fun, I�ve met fantastic people in particular those that post here. Unfortunately probably a lot more teams will go the same way. Slan Dublin City. Thanks for the memories:)

Commiserations, kiddo. Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of the fans, I always thought you showed a lot of bottle and no little ability when thrust into the action, no matter how little preparation you'd had. I take it from what you're saying that the club never failed to honour the players' pay-packets during your tenure at DC?

absolutely nothing was said and players were always paid on time no matter what the circumstances were.players never had to complain about payments unlike other clubs.it just leaves us all with a sense of confusion because nobody knows what the next step is going to be

Look I know you're real emotional right now :rolleyes: but there was no need for the "university" jibe.

you missed out/ignored a huge chunk of football culture in not knowing your history..

comiserations to the fans and the players of the former club.

As for the solution - the only course of action has been taken - the full expunging of the club's League record - it happened with Maidstone, Aldershot, Leeds City and Accrington.

So the Shels lot can stop whinging - as said before - someone gets burnt - a full expunging of a club's record is the usual course of action.

Has Ollie got an appeal against the point deductions in the pipeline yet?

Top scorer list needs updating too.
