They'll appeal and get through IMO

And they'll have a home game too. Why wouldn't they?

Would Shels getting home advantage not open it up to appeal by Limerick ? Shels were not drawn "first" (indeed at all) and while I expect they (Shels) will be reinstated surely the home advantage issue wont be conceeded ? Toss a coin or redraw between Limerick and Shels for "home" if (when) Shels are reinstated seems only fair way

No team is drawn out at home. Ball 3 (or whatever was).

Can't see any basis for Limerick moaning

The deadline for filing an appeal was about 15 minutes ago. Does anyody from Shels (or anybody at all) know if they have appealed?

Might not have been - but Lims were certainly drawn "second" .

Last I heard they were hecking the odds of them been re-instated before deciding whether to appeal or not...unconfirmed rumors at this time of course...

Shels did appeal: http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/6609/

And Shams would still miss all their penalties.

It would obviously suit City far better for Shels and Limerick to have an extra match.

Ollie would have had this mess sorted by now.

Hahaha why in the name of Jesus would a Cork fan be worried about how many games we play?

The more games you play the greater the risk of injuries, suspensions and betting scandals.

One can't help but wondering now about al those times you've bottled it over the last few years.

Derry away on Friday without our captain. Ho hum...

23 goals scored by Rovers v UCD so far this season and still to play them again. Must be some sort of league record between two teams?

Would have thought you'd be hoping for us to be on form so that we can beat your 2 actual competitors for you over the next few games.

You realise the game he's talking about would be against Limerick right? And if ti doesn't happen they'l have a week off and a rest.

If it's played, they'l have a tough game, hopefully pick up a few injuries and have Gamble sent off.

The world does not revolve around yourselves.....
