Threatening?! I've already had two non-EL fans I know texting me today about what a jokeshop this league is, holding this up as yet another example. We'd have been better off without the ****ing FAI taking over the whole show in my opinion. They ballsed up the licensing, they haven't been able to promote the game any better than myself and my dog working with a budget of two sticks would, they impose Nazi style fines on fans, they made the Leagues last year look like a waste of time, the merry-go-round of whether Waterford, Galway, Dundalk or Shels would be in the Premier was a joke, they took the life out of the FAI Cup weeks ago by spacing the rounds so far about, and now this travesty. How any of us can look people in the eye and ask them to fork over money to support this nonsense is beyond me, more power to the barstool monkeys from now I think :mad:

Not surprising that there's conflicting information- http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=778673&postcount=9

EDIT: thought that said that he had emailed the FAI for some reason...

Unbelieveable. I told the old man that date the other day and he thought it was a wind up. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it plunges to new depths

Poll added.

Not sure how accurate that was but there was a great crowd for city considering the distance.
Just a pity about the result!!

HA HA Totally inaccurate ! Where you actually in the stadium that day or what ? This brings the " we get more people than you at our games " to a whole new level :eek: 17 ,000 citys fans me hole .

Pat Dolan wrote a great article in todays Daily Star about the FAI CUP final being changed. I think its a great reflection of the feelings many fans are expressing on here.
