If that's correct then you should win your appeal.Quote:

Looks like the FAI will have shot themselves in foot so quickly with their stunt on Shels.
Two different competitions so different rules can apply.
Seems the player involved picked up 3 yellow cards in A championship and one in First Division
Surely if thats true Harps should win the appeal.
look the fai dont make mistakes so will people get off there back ,if they say monaghan have to be awarded 3 points then who are we to argue.
I support the Finn Harps secretary in his appeal. The man is a saint.
He? Man? Secretary?......hmm..something doesn't add up.Quote:

Finn Harps have confirmed today that they are appealing the decision of the Airtricity League to award Monaghan United the points from last Saturday’s Division One game between the two clubs. It centres on the fielding of an illegible player by Harps in the game which ended in a nil all draw. Defender Aaron O’Hagan had picked up four yellow cards in the now defunct A League. That competition has since been replaced by the U-19 League – but because O’Hagan is overage for that league, he was supposed to serve his one game ban with the senior team. Harps Chairman Joey O’Leary suggested O’Hagan’s inclusion in the team was a simple oversight and the club informed the League of their mistake on Monday. It was confirmed on Wednesday night that Monaghan have been awarded a 3-0 victory and therefore the three points while Harps have been docked a point and now face a fine. Given Harps position in the First Division table, the points docking won’t make or break the season but a heavy fine would have more serious implications.
seems a mite unfair fining the club when they pointed out the error ,hope tehy get a reduction on the fine..only
It really is heart breaking that such a poor club could have everything taken from them in such a callous way.
And of course I feel sorry for Harps as well. :D
really hope this does not effect moral at cork city ,id hate to see them bottling it now and limerick catching them
Our game against Mons was pretty much a game we had to win, but I feel a win is an absolute must now.
I hope Monaghan United get promoted. I have a soft spot for Roddy:)

FIFA should paying close attention to what the FAI conjures up over this.Quote:

Still clarification from the FAI would be nice at these times rather than silence and guessing games.
Vital for us to win tonight, to stay in touch with 2nd. Pressure's on now, we'll see what the lads are made of.
87% water, I think.Quote:

There's no excuse not to win really, but I find with City it's better always to expect the worse. It's when they get your hopes up you're screwed :DQuote:
