FAI RRS?Quote:
Cup finalists win battle for royalties
Cork City and Longford Town have won their battle to hold onto their share of their royalties from TV revenue and ticket sales at this year's FAI Cup Final.
Represenatives of both clubs went to meet the domestic football committee in Dublin yesterday and were told in no uncertain terms to abide by what they had agreed to in Portmarnock in October. However, in a dramatic turnaround, both clubs were contacted by the FAI not long after the meeting and in reponse to Cork and Longford apparently holding their ground, decided to accede to their demands. A club source at Cork City expressed delight at what they termed a "victory against the FAI"
To everyone in this thread questioning us for the sake of it, you know where you can shove your jealousy ;)
Fair play to yez.
So do we take it that clubs will get ticket/tv share on top of prizemoney? Or will the prizemoney dewindle?
It's clear from that statement that it was a joint Cork-Longford initiative.
I'm not sure how wise it is to be quoted in the press talking about "Victory" over the FAI. Delaney is a petty little Hitler and bears grudges. That quote will come back to bite Cork if he has his way.
Delighted with this!
First time ever i can recall the FAIlure backing down on something!
FAI.ie
"The Football Association of Ireland wishes to refute the suggestion made in today’s edition of the Irish Examiner that it has agreed to withdraw the financial package put in place for the 2007 FAI Ford Cup Final. As far the Football Association of Ireland is concerned the financial package outlined to the four semi-finalists at a meeting on October 10 remains in place. The winners and runners-up of the competition will receive guaranteed payments of €100,000 and €75,000 respectively."
So are CCFC/Longford or the FAI the ones engaged in spin now?
But the powers that be in the F.A.I. can just change the rules again to suit themselves at the next A.G.M.
Eh, someone got this wrong, FAI said no change on their site.
They've U-turned again! They're embarrassing themselves at this stage
The FAI tried to renege on their original deal, which they either negotiated in error (their fault) or they panicked about when they considered likely attendance at the final (that's football).Quote:

It can do one of two things:Quote:

2. People can bear grudges, and they are acted upon and no one wins as a result. And next time the FAI need to list out X, Y and Z when asked about what they are doing people may be aware of the grudge and lack of cooperation and their list might not carry so much weight.
The thing is, there is no room for grudges in this game as there are so many obstacles there already. If everyone adopts a professional attitude and gets on with the job (god knows there loads of work to do) them we might actually see progress, if not then ..... well, you all know the rest.
That relates to the outcome, not the quote form Cork which could be considered as triumphalism.Quote:

Does that include your long running grudge against Pat Devlin or is that different?Quote:

Grudge carries negative connotations implying that its often merely personal and that since its in the past you should move on. And as I said, Devlin still has his fingers in many pies; it isnt a grudge, its just an intense disliking of his actions.Quote:

I'll still dislike his actions. And his whiskey-red nose. Is that a grudge? Regardless, its one thing for an irrational football fan to bear a grudge against a rival manager, quite another for a football association to bear one against a club.Quote:

jesus, people arent even reading threads anymore. I never said the FAI had a grudge against any club, A Face speculated it as a consequence of our clubs' actions. It was your cork-hating chum who starting banging on.Quote:

And he was actually questioning A face's dislike of Devlin, he never mentioned Cork. Maybe you should read over the thread again.
... i was referring to a face's hypothetical consequences.Quote:

I took "Cork-hating" from his location. Rather than say bray, he says "Not Cork, thank god". That kind of special attention just makes us feel warm and fuzzy :)Quote:

I didn't mention RRS. You just did. Clearly you feel there is a link between a football association begrudging another club and RRS.Quote:

I wonder what todays revelation will be. According to the faI the staus quo applies. According to CorkCityFc.ie negotiations are ongoing!
Fun and Games galore!!:D
looks like this has been swept under the rug anyway!
I bet they backed down in return for silence.....
Who backed down?Quote:
