Whats it to the English PFA?

They might be but surely they'd have no juristiction in Ireland. AFAIK trade unions cannot work outside national borders. maybe its a typo and Cork mean the PFAI
Damn those unions, eh Pete? Always trying to shift the goalposts.
Since both of them played in England they are still(i think) members of the PFA.
PFAI have been very quite on this one haven't they, you'd swear they didn't even exist they have been so quite. Maybe they have different priorities though.
PFAI launch Healy, Farrelly appeal
Good luck with it.
That would be the PFA superfrank.The English equivilantQuote:

The English PFA are spearheading this.
The PFAI, Cork City and the FAI have contributed statements etc.

See the Official Cork City FC website.
Should move the Valur home match to July 1st and give the lads a run out the previous week for Colin Ts testimonial.
Makes the decision not to go in with the FAi even worse now
I doubt the result would have been any different.Quote:

As im sure you know coming from English clubs wasnt the problem. As explained in the piece above the unrecognised loan deals were......so the cases were very different from any of the others.Quote:

If I want and am lucky enough to be able to work in three Financial Institutions in the one year, is there anything to stop me.
The court ruled against Cork and their appeal so Healy and Farelly are still not able to play until July but more importantly FIFA won't have to pick up their wage bill from when they signed but were not allowed to play.
Just a disgrace for UEFA, FIFA and the Court of Arbitration, one rule for the big powerful G14 clubs and another for the smaller "less significant" clubs!
I dunno, oone of them :oQuote:

Disgraceful. FIFA are standing firm on it now that it suits them.
Cork should have brought Fifa to a real court because what Fifa are doing has to be illegal surely?
It was the PFA that took up this case, CCFC could not afford to take on FIFA.Quote:

Looks like the lads are now in line to make their City EL debuts in Terryland on July 6th.:cool:
Hopefully they'll take a while to adjust!

Should we go a round or 2, and have league games postponed we might not see the "FIFA 2" in action untill August.
€70,000 in wages and counting
League Cup QF against Bohs on 3rd July I think.
Debut match for the "Two" no doubt.
You're neglecting to factor in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.Quote:

What makes you think City not go in with the FAI?Quote:

Anyway I doubt if the backing or otherwise of the FAI would have been decisive in the CAS decision.
Where did you hear that from?Quote:

They're probably already registered for it.
You can't register a player without full international clearance
Think the inter-toto deadlines are flexible enough though
We are being Ridden Rock Solid by so many people at this stage we should be making money out of it. :mad::eek:
Getting paid to be RRS? We call that prostitution up here in the big smoke. ;)Quote:

Can't come soon enough.
I'm sure the Bohs lads will give Gareth a great reception. :D
