Any clubs need a good lawyer? Contact Derry City:D
This decision really shows how spineless the FAI are.I'd be fairly pessimistic now about GUFC getting inot the elite simply because i don't think the FAI have the balls to implement what they've said they will.(if they do we'll be ok IMO).In fear of reprecussions and general whining,threats of court proceedings etc they'll make life easy for themselves and promote Rovers while leaving the other 11 there.
Its not up to the FAI to give Ollie what he wants...
Shelbourne appealed the original decision and I agreed with that as I dont think you should be punished when the other team plays a suspended player. I also think the offending team deserve more punishment than just 3 point deduction, which they could gain anyway by winning.
Two points,
1 There has to be some incentive for the clubs NOT to **** up and play suspended players like Bohs did. Docking them 3 points is not punishment! Clubs have the power to feck up other clubs seasons knowing too well they wont be harmed. That can't be allowed to happen. However, the decision today seems to award Bohs with another chance!
2 The points should go to the opposing team should you field a suspended player. No messing around, 3 points and a 2-0 or 3-0 win. Its the only way around the mess and would stop teams from fielding suspended players.
If Delaney was in Ollie pocket as people suggest then why not award the 3 points to shels as a lot of people agree should happen! To their credit, even the Bohs fans can see that a 3 point deduction from the club who won the game is meaningless. The best agrument against giving the 3 points is that its not happened in other cases to date but I think nearly everyone is in agreement that taking 3 points from Bohs is pointless!
The FAI have managed to make the decision that makes no sense. all the papers and radio and tv will be full of reports of what a joke it is. When the game is played we will get more bad press and then if Shels win the league , even more bad press.
They have made the worst decision possible and I dont agree with it.
Some form of a protest would be nice.
**** the Eircom League
Its unfortunate that Bohs no longer need the money as in the spirit of this ridiculous decision, they could auction places in the squad for the replayed game and field a completely ineligible team of punters who fancied a kick at Shels without any fear of reprecussions (apart from another replay)
In the off-chance the money is still attractive, I'll pay 200 euro and I'd like to play centre mid.
Thanks.
Now lets get this straight. Bohs get deducted 3 points as the played a suspened player. Bohs get deducted the 3 points they won on the pitch as well? So how many points do Bohs have?
Derry played with Sean Hargan suspeneded although they didn't know - do they have to play the match again? Does the club they played have the right to demand a replay?
Does the match go down as match abandoned and are Shels entitled to 50% of the gate of the refixed game.
If a player picked up a yellow card in the first game and has served a suspension in another game accordingly should that match be refixed.
??????????????????????????????
€250 and I'll play anywhere but in goal. If Shels get one cent from this game, I'm never ever ever going to another game
you dont have to play eligible players.
We could allow 16 fans make up the match day squad, kill the shels team, then play our registered players in the replay [precendet is a replay] but Shels wont have any fit players.
Bohs then win the game and the -6 points that go with it and Shels lose the title.
Not a bad idea from HIggins if a big group gathered...of all EL fans.
We won't let you f*ck with our league type of banners

The whole sorry thing is one big mess....
You spend your time and energy going to games, standing in sh!t up and down the country, following a football league by ****ing aertel, listening to radio 1 on lw/mw.
Then after all that crap they make a decision based on nothing. they might have been the FAI but the Eircom League is now their product and as a product it ****ing sucks!
Whats the point starting off next season thinking we all play by the rules if they can make it up as they go?
Why do we bother....
You do realise who's fault this is Higgins? Don't you?
The Lets get Delaney out campaign should seriously start now.
The last 2 league games maybe if at every ground there was a range of banners/chants showing how p*ssed off we are that they are screwing with our league it might get noticed. Some of the games are on tele and could get good coverage out of it.
Realistically the clubs wont do anything about it id say...they wont risk it as many run on a financial tightrope as it is so its up to the fans
Yea, its the leagues fault.
They should have either stood over their original decision or else awarded the UEFA 3-0 rule but they done neither....they ballsed out of it as usual.
As for Oily, hes doing what Derry and Rovers and many more clubs will do and thats appeal with solicitors, lawyers etc. because the rules of the league are a joke. Rip up the league book and use UEFAs rules, it should be as simple as that for next season.
The whole league is an even bigger joke now.
The happiest out of all this are the schooligans, they`ll have a field day with 2 Bohs Shels games in a week :rolleyes:
