Think it's better to just let this lie lads. We are gutted needless to say. We worked hard to finish with the most points but what's done is done. We have a cup final tomorrow night so dwelling on this won't help. And who knows we might win the league next season! ;)
Did the LDMC give ye the reasons for their decision?Quote:

league should at least contact shannon town and explain why star were awarded the points !! but can't really see this happening... they have a website why dont they even publish verdicts of appeals onto this and let everybody know what is happeningQuote:

With the exposure objections are getting this year, next year clubs will be trying to figure out how the other 'amateur' club made a mistake, rather then trying to beat them on the pitch.
Sadly its the way the game is going if this year is anything to go by.
If teams persist in playing Illegal player then it perfectly within the rights of the other teams to object...not saying that it is an ideal situation but them's the rules..
Ultimately the clubs have the responsibility to ensure that all players listed on the matchcard are legitimate and not suspended but in fairness if the team only gets docked 3 points and a slap on the wrists they will keep persisting in breaking the rules - In this case it was more costly to Shannon (who had nothing to do wit the matter) than Balla who are still safe from relegation.Surely if the LDMC were to introduce maybe a 9 point deduction for a team if they are knowingly playing an illegal player it would deter teams in breaking the rules??Quote:

Well that's my thinking and that's why I couldn't see star having a case....I mean why would balla play a player thy knew was suspended in such a high profile game where they would surely get caught out I mean there was a massive crowd there.Quote:

Star didnt really do anything wrong here. They felt balla played an illegal player and objected which they have a right to do. From talking to the Balla lads a few days after the star match they are convinced that none of their players were illegal. Obviously the LDMC feel that Balla did play an illegal player so star get the points. End of. Star were well within their rights to object if they felt an illegal player played.Quote:
