Semi Final Draw
Regional Utd v Aisling Annacotty
St Michaels v Glengad Utd
Ties will take place 1st weekend in April
What date are the semi finals on , some result for regional , I couldn’t see that one coming
It's to do with a Regional player not being registered properly, allegedly.
If you know you know.
What an absolute disgrace by sheriff to go down this road..they were beat fair and square on the pitch so grow a pair and get on with it.. I always looked up to what ye done in junior football over last few years but this leaves a bitter taste..regional have same panel all season and we they may be a paperwork error but move on from it. Disgusting from big a big club..
Rules are rules , didn’t regional object a number of years ago about a wrong signature on team sheet the year they reached semifinals......karma and all that
IF ,there was an illegal player on the pitch they were not beaten fair and square,rules are there for a reason ,sure chaos would ensue otherwise.Big clubs are just that for a reason,Sheriff have obviously spotted something and are well entitled to pursue it.
Illegal?? If he played with regional all season and maybe a slip up on paperwork or something by a junior club I think it's terrible bad form by a big club like sheriff.. 100% agree if it is a suspended player or a player signed with other club I would totally back sheriff but by all acc it's a simple paperwork error if anything...
Ya but simple paperwork errors is breaking the rules , just ask park rangers in 09
I agree with you 100% , the player in question has been playing junior soccer last 2years , I am sure he played with AA whether the objection goes back to that time I don’t know but time will tell, but either way no winners in this one , it takes value away from the trophy and winning it in that fashion. Strange if he is illegal that the ldmc has excepted he’s form and let him play in the league for two years.
Don't know why everyone's losing their mind. If he's innocent (for lack of a better term) then what's there to worry about.
Who’s losing their mind ? Break rules and you are disqualified simple stuff really, regional ballsed it out 10 years ago when park rangers broke rules can’t be hypocrites now with shoe on other foot
Well if they do doesn’t it in your own words take value away from trophy winning it in that fashion
Rules are rules aren’t they? ****ty for regional if it turns out to be upheld but anyone else would do the same given a chance.
Sheriff reinstated...
Disappointing for Regional ,one would assume they will appeal.Hard to see any change to the outcome however,though with the Fai never know.
First post guys but i felt i should reply. Regional have done nothing wrong or illegal. Rule 22.1 of the FAI Rule book states "Any player aged ten (10) years or over wishing to be registered within the jurisdiction of the Football Association of Ireland having LAST BEEN REGISTERED within another jurisdiction must obtain an International Transfer Certificate ("ITC"). The player in question was LAST REGISTERED by the LDMC. This enabled him to play for AA in season 2017/2018. Therefore there is no onus on Regional to have an ITC. The player in question has been abroad for the last number of weeks but no transfer form was signed by Regional for him to sign elsewhere or no ITC was requested by another jurisdiction for him to play elsewhere, he has always been a registered Regional player.
I do not know if AA got an ITC for him to play with them that season but that is of no concern to Regional as his LAST REGISTRATION was signed for and accepted by the LDMC. He also played in the FAI cup that year. If AA did not receive an ITC for him then every game he played with them that season he would have been illegal, teams have lost cup games, league games and two relegated incorrectly if that was the case. If AA did receive an ITC he would have been a legal player with AA, meaning Regional do not need an ITC, meaning they have no case to answer and if he was illegal then rule 22.1 still applies as his LAST REGISTRATION was still signed and accepted by LDMC.
On another note it would be interesting to discover who informed Sheriff.
Final set for May 11.
Lengthy appeals were done away with weren’t they? Regional probably get one appeal and no more?
You’d imagine the appeal will be some time this week.
Wow this seems straight forward , how in gods name did sheriff get reinstated ffs crazy stuff.
Arbitration is most likely
Semifinal involving the Regional/Sheriff/Westport/Ashling teams postponed.
I am not sure you can appeal twice, appeal to the senior body and if they turn you down the case can be heard in arbitration. The fai junior council need to start adjusting the rule book. Wesport local league states the AA player should have been suspended but the local league states he’s just suspended for local games. I can’t even see the argument on the regional objection, according to rule 22 they have done nothing illegal. But there is so many loopholes in the rule book that it needs serious reviewing
