Not odd when you know the rest of the story. :D

just what the league needs.......
What's the deadline for the submission of the financial aspects of the FAI's domestic/Uefa Licence applications?
Surely Dungannon would be able to get the info from Celtic if needs be?
Strange situation, in one way it would serve as a warning to other clubs to pay their dues but, on the other hand it would be a huge blow to the league and especially Harps if Derry were to be wound up.
So the theory goes. In practice however.....
My guess would be that DCFC can get away with it if Dungannon make an agreement with them. Given that denying DCFC a license would mean that they have no hope of seeing their money, I'd imagine an accommodation will be reached. Much depends on DSFC's willingness to really play hardball, but given how badly they've been treated you never know.
I think if they are seeking a winding up order we can assume its well into hardball territory....
Maybe they just think it's how things work down here?
That'd be the biggest stretch since Monroe's "warm handshake".
According to today's Newspaper, Derry City have got until tomorrow afternoon to furnish the High Court in Belfast with the details of the transfer agreement relating to McGinn’s move to Celtic. This despite the fact that Derry pointed out that there is a confidentiality clause in the deal that stops them revealing details.
Which paper was that?
Northern Ireland edition of the Star on Sunday. The article is based on comments made by the chairman of Dungannon. He's not a happy camper!!!
IF Derry were to go bust, would we see a re-emergence of DCFC in the loi? I'm sure the IFA would be happier to see a high profile Derr side in their league.
Can't see it coming to that to be honest.
I think Derry must also be due money from Celtic soon as I think when he makes 10 appearances Derry get another £50k, and they I think its in the contract of McGinn as well. " ex players who are performing very well at the moment.
The point is Kev that if Derry City, as currently constituted, goes out of existence then any new club will not get the option of joining the LOI. The IFA make a big mistake at an Inter-League meeting held in Oriel Park in 1984 and they knew it shortly afterwards. It’s a mistake they are most unlikely to repeat.
Derry stall on a transfer fee? Never........(Insert sutiable sarcastic smiley here)
has anyone any updates of the situation??
Acornvilla, below is a picture from the latest DCFC press conference on the issue

Unconfirmed reports indicate the same individual is on his way to Muster to "smooth over a few local difficulties"
haha 'we have crushed the americans' whyle you see american tanks in the backgrund! godda love his spirit!
Apparently the case has been adjourned for 1 week for Derry to provide more information
But EU laws have changed since that time. As a result, so long as the entry rules of a league are followed (e.g. a vote amongst members), then a club form one league is legally entitled to seek and receive assent to join a league in a different jurisdiction.
Ergo - it is not the IFA's right to refuse a northern club access to the LOI if LOI clubs vote to accept them. The IFA would have its ass grilled under EU Competition and Restraint of Trade Rules - just like the Welsh FA did in the 1990's.
I'm soooooo bored at having to explain this every couple of months on here.
