yep, gone gone gone
I think our only way of staying in the Premier will be if one of the other clubs (I.E. Cork, Derry etc) go even further into financial trouble ala Shelbourne a few seasons ago.
I think Cork are due back in court next week and apperently owe their players 2 months wages. You just never know!
I honestly think that would be justice. We have spent within our means this season and suffered badly for it. If the FAI don't come down hard on any club in contravention of the regulations, it will be a travesty. I think they'll bottle it, because they won't want this season to be seen as a joke, but if they don't do something about the reckless overspending, which I will openly call cheating, then every season will be seen as a joke.Quote:

I recall a similar post on the UCD form this time last year...
Ah, but UCD have a €100 million a year budget from the college, and they only have 4 fans, so they don't deserve to be in the league!Quote:

Can't believe you guys are giving up already! Still loads to play for. Jesus i'm actually quite shocked. Imagine the players reading this!:eek:
Maybe the players are in some weird upside-down parallel world and we're top of the League! Then they come on here and find out what's going on in the adjacent universe- hope their poor heads can handle it...:eek:Quote:

Has Shane O'Neill been getting his game since coming back from injury? I was really impressed with him against Galway, and that goal capped things off perfectlyQuote:

well we know now the FAI dont want us in the prem division by giving us the most 1 sided refs in the country, the ref was a complete joke in Sligo thanks very much to the 200 odd people working for the FAI in there fancy place in abbotstown. Are you the ones ruining football in the country rather than the refs you employ for games that could make or break a season, you bunch of W@-K€RS.
You have got to be joking???? There is no way we are bottom of the league due to refs and the FAI.Quote:

The ref was not at fault for the result, and if I'm being honest Sligo probably just about shaded it on the night.Quote:
