Maybe the FAI will re-open the Jeff McNamara case and find in favour of Waterford there. Seems more likely than them winning this case.
Thanks for posting these Bluewater, I will pass them on to the club and hopefully we can track down these children and get their parents to ground them or stop their pocket money. :)Quote:

And much the same could be said of the appeal. There isn't a club in the league, nay, the world that wouldn't do the same thing. We saw how collegiate the clubs were when it was decided to keep the 12-team Premier Division to ensure "there is something to play for right up until the end of the season", i.e. woe betide the club that gets relegated to that! It's a dog-eat-dog world.
At the end of the day, Waterford did not earn the right to play in the premier league as they lost on the pitch. They can throw all the rules, regulations and bureaucracy around but do not deserve to play at a higher level.

There can be no argument valid enough to block it apart from nest feathering or shortsightedness. Anyway, that's never going to happen with our football authorities and their members.
As for the clowns running to celebrate in front of opposition supporters, nothing we haven't seen before and nothing that will be dealt with in any decent way because clubs are afraid to lose followers. But from the photos, they're young enough to learn how to behave normally, just don't see how it can be done.
so whats happening? have the FAI rejected Waterford's objection, have they pulled it or has it still to be reviewed?
Being discussed early next week, according to reports.Quote:

It's fairly obvious to anyone with an ear to the ground that Waterford will be in the Premier next year.
This whole farce just seems like such a shabby way of going about it.
The least they could do is make a DVDQuote:

Wait until the licensing process starts, that is when I expect Waterford to be at their most dirty.Quote:

First level-headed response I've seen from a Dundalk fan, as I said somewhere else, given the situation, any club in Ireland, including Dundalk would be doing the same, it's about the very survival of our club.Quote:

Nah, it's about the survival of your chairmans ego.Quote:

I'm really glad I did or otherwise I'd be basing my opinion of the club on your opinions and that of your classless chairman.Quote:

Obviously it is their perogative if they do not accept this clarification from the FAI and want to lodge an appeal, but it is clear to all involved that this is a wasted exercise.
What is the story with Bray?
Death by a thousand cuts it seems, but I haven't heard anything to suggest they're going to pull out/wind up.Quote:

Time to move on from this and plan your future. At least you will start as firm favourites in next seasons FD, another year is not the end of the world, we had 7 seasons in the FD before coming up in 2008.
Thanks for the pep talk. Any sage tips on preparing for a seven-team First Division next season? Those years in the division should have given you some insigh . . . oh.Quote:

If my auntie had balls ... she'd be from Drogheda. Can see this thread running on needlessly for another few pages.
I heard from a Bray fan this week that the club has dramatically reduced its debt. They are still in debt but nothing that should see them drop out. Every year we hear Bray are fooked but they end up being fine so id expect no difference this time.
People keep saying 7 team division where has it been confirmed that it will be 7 teams? We know they are looking for other teams so their is a good chance it will be more.Quote:

But we didn't. This is the most embarrassing objection made in the LOI and that's saying quite something. There is no basis for it whatsoever. None.Quote:

It's seems in this case they were wrong which is fair enough, they will have to accept that and move on.
