Has the ShelsWeb forum been taken down or is it just me having problems getting on to it?
Just crashed. Everything went mental just as I posted the news.
It will be back up asap.
Ok cheers!
Still leaves a lot of issues that haven't been addressed. What about last year's license. Should they have got one? Probably not, but no mention of removing them as champions.
No mention of Europe either. Surely they can't represent the League in Europe playing from the First Division?
At least some justice is being done.
Does this put Waterford back into the premier?
whoooooooooooooooooo
I think they will wait (FAI) till Friday before making a decision on who will replace Shels after their appeal. Unless they want another visit from MAXI, i think Dundalk should get their spot if Shels appeal is fruitless:D
waterford coming back up is seriously going to confuse all the sports writers, They'll be thinking dundalk were suppose to come up !
This movement of topics is idiotic. This clearly affects the whole league and is off general interest.
What a clueless moving of topics. It couldn't be more Eircom League related!!!
Agreed.Quote:

LOL! I see the other thread has been moved as well. There's NO WAY that anyone will open another thread about this in the eL forum. I mean the subject is of absolutely no interest to anyone other than Shels fans:D
opening a new one now to cause a scene.......
I spotted that .... cop on willya :)Quote:

Bet nobody thought Shels would be playing Wexford Youths in the First Division this time last year!
I bet you didn't even think you would have an eL club to support this time last year :rolleyes: :DQuote:

Maybe Cork will not want to play Waterford on two weeks if the blues are promoted so maybe the game for the Dunmore East Fishermens Disaster could be arranged against the Wexford Young Boys sponsored by the Bishop of Ferns
It doesn't make a difference what any club wants. The FAI make out the fixtures.Quote:

It goes on to say that "While it may be a sad day for Irish football, it also underscores the credibility of the club licensing system. Waterford United committed itself to the IAG selection process last season and accepted the decisions of this committee in December. Now that there has been a change of circumstances in the premier division, it is Waterford United’s view that given the ranking by the IAG, the club is next in line for a place in the new FAI eircom league Premier Division.
The club will be seeking immediate clarification of its options in the wake of this evening’s decision by the First Instance Committee and will consider such options as soon as possible. In the meantime the club‘s management and players will continue to prepare for the new season as normal".
Believe me they have... My brother is on the Committee that was a statement to keep things cool here while they make there mind up.... some of the committee actually dont want to take it...
Seriously lads they HAVE been offered it no joking........
from www.FAI.ie
The Committee decided to withdraw the club’s Premier division licence and to award Shelbourne a first division licence, with conditions.
what are the conditions??
Pretend that nothing's wrong?Quote:

I text a shels pal of mine welcoming him to the First Division last nite and he text back f***in graveyard. I told him they had dug their own grave.
Seriously tho, am looking forward to having Shels at Kingspan Century Park this season.
As they say in Galatasaray ... Welcome To Hell
Seeing as we are due to play you first do Shelbourne have any players / management yet. Or will you be putting out a youth team?
Looks that way, and I've heard Prenderville and Rutherford are training with us! :confused:Quote:
