Rovers were screwed by the FAI,plain and simple!
Was this when CHF were still in the League?
If it was then they seemed to have followed the rulebook. And therefore it was the players responsibility to notify his new employer.
If the notice was sent following CHF withdraw (to Rocky presumably), then surely the League don't have a leg to stand on?:confused:
The erasing bookings and sendings off involving CHF is a bit of a red herring. No precedent that I know of for doing this.
well derry were sent the info on July 22nd, DCFC were gone on the 19th
Surely this is not the first time a player with a suspension has been transferred before serving it.
Suspensions carry over between seasons so if a player is transferred in the close season it would effectively be the same situation as Shiels' when he joined Rovers.
What I'm saying is that there must be a precedent which sets out whether it's the new clubs responsbility to inquire or the leagues to pass on information about suspensions.
Deduct 3 points fron Chelsea last year and do they care? Well, do they? well? well?
That would be a no. Rovers will be run away winners.
Technically DC games weren't played, as technically (according to the table at least!) DC failed to even start the season. So they award an imaginary suspension, that could never have happened as the game is void (did not take place!), and possibly failed to inform the club and/or the player.
Rovers got shafted, from what I can make out anyways.
I agree with Chippie - it is very worrying that we've handed over our league to this bunch.
Rovers got shafted big time. Derry would have too but as everyone knows up here - you can't lie to a Derryman! Not too mention the place is full of solicitors. They won't be trying that again :)
Seriously though - they deliberately lied to Derry which could have cost them the top honour in domestic football. Or else, the forgot what week they had the meeting. Sweet Jeeezus. And they run the show! It is scary....very fecking scary.
And that's probably not even a joke :)Quote:
We also got 10k damages as one of our directors tripped on an uneven paving stone on the way into Merrion Square............
