I read in a newspaer today that Shamrock Rovers are likely to be deducted three points for playing a player (Paul Shields) who was suspended. He had just signed from Dublin City and was half way through a two match ban.
If this is true, then technically, Galway United are curetnly top of the League. Rovers have two games in hand.
.
In 2day's Irish Sun, it said they could be docked 6 pionts......
I presume that the "?" at the end of the thread title is because things are unsure due to the fact that it a "big" Dublin club involved and we dont really know will they get a deduction. It's an offence to play a player who is serving a ban. and it doesn't matter if its a different club. Ciaran Foley couldn't play the first three for us this season if I recall correctly so....say it
WE ARE TOP O THE LEAGUE WE ARE TOP O THE LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!:) :) :)
WTF?? :confused:Quote:

So, the "story" that we may lose points from Home Farm's problems is currently a rumour, and not a fact. i.e.,
We stand top of the league with 2 games in hand on 2nd-5th place. :)
Did he play while suspended or not? Thats all that we need to know my post. Its quite simple really dont you think? If he played without serving the suspension then its minus 3 pts!
Theres no need to pay attention to the press its in black and white on your clubs' team sheets! Anyway when did reports surface early regarding such incidents? Didnt Paul Marney play three games while ineligible for Pat's some time back before anything was realised
:rolleyes: ,country folk are comedy!Quote:

COMON SIX :D
Well Jackeen, as you'd be known to us rednecks down these ere parts of the country:D
I believe your own "folk" having been talking about it in depth on SRFC sites for a while now and there's no smoke without fire. It will be set out in our local press (Tribune)this week; setting the record straight on what happened when it happened and what happens next. It'll tighten things up even further at the business end.
PS I didn't get a penny for the plug for the Tribune:D
Sorry Terry but it's three:( and not six as in The Sun
It doesn't matter. You'll both make the John Delaney Invitational League next year anyway.Quote:

Anyway, we are only a bunch of hurling lovin' culchies . They deserve to be promoted; after all, they are the most successful football club in Ireland. :rolleyes:
I'm not denying there's a chance of us getting deducted 3 points but you're already singing we are totl.On the evidence of galway's performance on friday,we'll need a sh*t load more points deducted for yous to win the league,kohQuote:

Ye've lost to us once already and twice couldn't break us down in Tolka bar last week froma mistake from a UTD player.It's hillarious you think Rovers have this league won already.
It's called humour KOH try it some. as another post says, how do you figure your so much better than the rest of us. GUFC and SRFC have played out fairly scrappy affairs from what i've heard and there's nothing between us one win each and a draw. Maybe its those green and white hoops glasses your looking through, but dont worry we look through the maroon glasses every now and again too. You should try them every looks better in maroon:D .Quote:

What happened was that the league wrote to CHF about Shiels' suspension but sent the letter to the wrong address:eek:
So the player and Rovers were completely unaware that he should not have played.
Also nobody is saying we are vastly superior to Galway or to any side or that we are the Champions already. IMO we have a great chance but there is a long way to go.
The table stands for now.

Not at all. Were you not on the Rovers MB after last fridays win? Also were you not in Terryland in June to see Rovers?Quote:

Rovers fans tend to think in longer terms than half a season RT.
Thanks for not answering my questions. On a Galway thread talking about Rovers. Obsessed.Quote:

I questioned the logic behind this on our own MB, moving on from that, one can only assume that as the player himself didnt inform his new club of the suspension that he either...Quote:

Apparently he did recieve a red card v Derry City so maybe this explains that possible situation, all mere speculation on my part of course. No doubt this will run & run for quite some time until the League make a definitive ruling on it one way or the other, ie the usual BS associated with the entire EL!

Verification of Shiels red card v Derry.Quote:

Actually, a Shamrock Rovers fan (homeless) slagging a Sligo Rovers fan (er, not homeless...) about their spiritual home.
DID I MISS SOMETHING?
Its bloodsport. The likes of NY Hoop and myself know that
the intellectually challenged will always rise to the bait.
If you come from an inbred town where an "attack all outsiders"
attittude is the norm, then its also likely that you will have no sense
of humour and also fail to grasp the concept of sarcasm.
NY Hoop, you come from an inbred town.
Never said we have the league won either,pay attention please,and it looks like you're the only WUM here NY HoopQuote:
