posted this in Setamta thread. Think its worth posting here too.

Are Bohs missing from this photoshoot? Must be seriously considering pulling out

That picture says it all, **** them out and be done with it, the more it drags on the more embarrassing it gets.

Aren't there 12 teams in the Setanta? Who else is missing?

(And kicking them out over a picture is silly. Natural causes will take their toll soon enough).

Crusaders and Cliftonville I think. Seeing as Billy Brennan is the Distillery player there, I'd guess that the NI clubs sent a Dublin based player for the most part.

I don't agree. Kick them out and find a suitable replacement ASAP. :)

Fair play to them for sorting themselves out

You might not like the 'Carry On' as you put it. I was against most of the 'Carry On' at the time too. But when it actually comes to breaking rules Shels did very little wrong.

The facts are that Shels were punished for a lot less than what at least 5 or 6 clubs have done since then.

I'm not arguing that Shels should not have been punished. I'm just pointing out that the punishment for any other team since then on similar payment issues or worse has been nowhere near as severe.

Yes but since then the FAi has wised up and realised how bad the LoI really is. All it takes is one bugger of a bill to cripple most teams. If they had of let Cork/Derry/Bohs et al go to the wall, who would they get to replace them? would such teams be able to get anywhere near the same level of fans? Lets be honest, if the FAI properly followed all its rules, clubs would be dropping like flies and JD et co. would be out of a job. I don't know specific figures, but i'd imagine theres a MASSIVE gap between the teams with highest agg attendance to those with the lowest.As so many teams have got into trouble, now they're starting to crack down on ensuring teams have some sort of sustainability.

I might have bought that a few years ago. Not now. Licensing has been an unmitigated failure on the financial side of things. At best, it's improved the standards of the LoI toilets.

Cork and Derry did go to the wall and were replaced by new teams with similar names who have a similar level of crowds.

no offence to Newry but it would be a huge step down from almost going to Dundee United, to managing Newry City.
