Farce.

But somehow unsurprising.

Surely if the issue related to historic issues relating to the awarding of the license then 24 hours is meaningless?

Fudge-a-rama time.

I have heard its all or nothing now. If he signs they will stay in the premier and if he doesnt Shels are history.This is a shocking precedent to set on the launch of the super duper league.

I hear ya but to be honest its a critcal decision, if giving them 24 hours more to get it right then its worth it.

I hate saying this but if Shels dont get sorted then the league could lose face aswell, giving another example to point the finger. I'd rather they get it right.

I know if my club was in the same boat i'd love another 24 hours.

Hang in there Eamo. All that is required for the FAI to succeed is for good people to do nothing...

As a Shels supporter of over 12 years, I must say this situation is a farce. A deadline is a fu**ing deadline at the end of the day. If Ollie stalled on the deal, he (Shels) should have been punished. Setting so many new deadlines is infuriating.

I have no desire to see Shels go out of existence but there comes a time when deadlines have to be kept. Its time for the FAI to fix a deadline & make a decision for once as the lack of announced fixtures is now affecting other clubs.

Get a grip man. I don't support the league, I support Pats. I presume you're the same. Chances are the Shelbourne thing makes little or no difference to your club so just get on with it...

i dont support pats,

i support my home town club galway united but its the league that utd are in thats been pi**ing me off.run by a bunch of impotent,spineless guys.my first course of action will be a letter to the irish indo in the next few days(keep an eye out),another course will be to ask for a motion of no confidence in the current FAI admin to be passed at our supporters trust meeting.we have a rep on the executive of g.u and he in turn could ask for the same motion to be passed at board level and get the ball(pardon the pun) rolling.other clubs may hear of it and follow suit.somepeople may think its ironic that it might be galway utd asking/leading the way for the vote of no-confidence but we got to the premier with no help from the FAI,we earned our place fair and square.

Don't wanna bring the thread off topic but this was too good to miss...are you serious?:D.

"Earned our place fair and square"? Remind me, where did ye finish in the First Division last season?

"No help from the FAI"? Again, remind me, who invited ye to the league?

Sligoman as always your contribution is flawed and clouded.

Eamo1 i'm sorry but as a person who's posted alot of tripe on foot.ie over the years it amazes me that your last few posts can really take the biscuit over anything i've ever said.

What are you looking for?A Blue Pter Badge for sticking with UTD?
Chryst almighty grow up.It's SHELS who gave false information about their Accounts.....how is that the FAI's fault?
Also no decision has been made yet either.I'm sorry but i had to say something....i don't post here as much but those posts are so cringing.Your making yourself some sort of hero for supporting GUFC in this league!:rolleyes:

That's great, come on here and say what I said was "flawed and clouded" and yet make no comment on how it is so?:rolleyes:.

Ok.

Flawed.........Where's your arguement for how we got help from the FAI considering it was the IAG who reccomended the teams with the FAI simply going..."ya grand."

Clouded...Your anti-Galway feelings have been onvious from day one."Fair and Square?"You said we didnt get up fairly?We met the Criteria to get an invite to the NEW league.Pretty fair to me.

In the extremely unlikely event that you manage to get a motion of no confidence in the FAI approved by your club's board with a view to taking it on from there, then you may prepare yourself for one hell of a bumpy ride at Galway United....

Welcome to the seedy politics of Irish football....

I do not see Ollie gettin out of this mess.
15/02/2007, 9:13 AM
Mr A

At this stage I suspect the options are: Ollie accepts the deal and they will be allowed to play in the premier or Ollie bluffs for too long and they're gone completely.

The independent said that Shels will be playing Rovers first game of the Season. Also said a series of Dublin Derbies 1 games(Hopefully Pats vs Bohs) Waterford will play rovers if they go down today.

What do people actually what to happen to shels ?

Go out of Business ?
Relegation ?
Premier but points deduction ?
etc...
15/02/2007, 10:02 AM

Relegation and/or double figure points deduction. There's no sense to losing such a large chunk of Irish footballing tradition. A significant example can be made of them without seeing them dead. I suspect neither will happen though.

From a selfish point of view, premier with a points deduction. They're very unlikely to put together a team capable of staying up it would be nice to get a few big wins against them. Relegation would probably be the fairest though.

No fans, No Players, No manager, E10m in debt. They are already out of business. If they got a license after that it would be an end to the licencing system . Its embarrasing that the FAI have given them another day. They think an extra day is going to sort out this mess for Shels.

Get them out of business. There are already too many teams from Dublin area in the league. Country supporters are better as demonstarted inr ecent seasons by Cork , Derry, Sligo etc

Even the extra day is a sham get tough - with the decision not being made known till Monday, I'd say a very good chance they've effectively given Shels the weekend.

Agreed on all points.

A chance for the FAI to show they mean business. And doubtless a chance they will shy away from...

The Licencing system has been over since it started - our dual accounts farce, which we told them about; Seery's pathetic little excuse of a club's blatant lies in their licence application, which the licencing committee took at face value; and now the Shels debacle. And they're just the headline grabbers.

And the worst part is that the FAI have always been responsible for licenceing although Delaney brushes this awkward fact aside. I've asked it before but I'll ask it again - How does Bob Breen still have a job?

Where do you think the IAG came from:confused::) We've all been through the arguements over whether it's a good or a bad thing but Galway being in the Premier is 100% down to the new league structures implemented by the FAI.:ball:

So fine - we got in under some kind of dubious process.

You'll all get the chance to shove our good fortune down our throats if the football ever starts & no doubt you'll revel in it too. That's what football rivalry is supposed to be about.

Meantime - we did what we and every other club was asked to do. We just happened - on a once off basis - to do a better off-field job than most others.

If our pre-season match on Tuesday is a sign of things to come, you can have a great laugh at our expense next November. Our job is to support our team enough to make sure you won't get that chance.
