Bohs v Shels

**Dodge** · 01/11/2006, 2:05 PM

LOL, so if Bohs win the game. They'll have earned 3 points (and an extra home crowd) and their punishment will be? I reckon they should play all the bangers they can. There's no way the FAI can't give them a replay and they'll end up with 40 home games v Shels.

From FAI website

The Football Association of Ireland Appeal Board has announced their decision following an appeal by Shelbourne Football Club against a decision of the Eircom League Protest Committee.

This appeal was initially heard by the FAI Appeal Board on Wednesday, October 18. The meeting was then adjourned and reconvened on Tuesday, October 31.

The FAI Appeal Board, having consulted all the available documentation and heard oral evidence, made the following decision:

• Deduction of three points against Bohemian F.C. to stand.

• Match between Bohemian FC and Shelbourne FC to be replayed at the original venue.

• Match between Bohemian FC and Shelbourne FC to be replayed as a matter of urgency.

The reasons for the FAI Appeal Board decision were as follows:

• The deduction of points against Bohemians FC stands due to the ineligibility of the Bohemians FC player.

• The Eircom League Premier Division match between Bohemian FC and Shelbourne FC is to be replayed in the interests of Fair Play.

Following the Appeal Board decision the option of arbitration is available.

So the league rules are now to be dictated by the FAI Fair Play Rules. They are in the **** for this statement. Brilliant!

**R�iteoir** · 01/11/2006, 2:12 PM

Who are these Bohemians FC that the FAI are on about?

Every club should do this. Deliberately played suspended players and keep getting re-plays.

Doge, just to point out, Bohs never appealed the punishment handed out 5/6 weeks ago. We are being told we have to replay the game by the FAI because Ollie appealed.

Absolutely disgusting

I BEG Bohs to take this option. In the interests of fair play...

• Deduction of three points against Bohemian F.C. to stand.
hold on a minute we're still docked the three pts. even if we beat them again
thats a load of Ballacks

**micls** · 01/11/2006, 2:17 PM

Fair play my ***

**Pablo** · 01/11/2006, 2:20 PM

Surely The Derry games should now be replayed aswell?

It's not very clear but it would seem that you get deducted 3 points, and now have a chance to gain 3 points from the replay.
It would essentially mean that you would be back to square one.
Could have been worse, as that would be like you'd simply lost the game in the first place but Shels failed to gain from it.

**higgins** · 01/11/2006, 2:21 PM

Im disgusted...

The FAI had to go with the only decision that made no sense! They have tried to even up the Dublin City and Hargan cases by offering Ollie a replay and with the interest of shels in mind he probably said yes.

This is one of the worst decisions ever in my time following the eircom League.

How can this be explained????

The best part is that Bohs now have a 2nd chance to win points in a game in which they broke the rules .... I don't know if I should laugh or cry

Have they thought about this?
What if Bohs were going for the league too or trying to avoid relegation!

Who gets the home gate?
Is McGuinness able to play in this?

What a complete joke
Im shocked at this decision, I really am... Just about lost the last bit of faith I had in the FAI or EL.

Bohs and Shels should refuse to play the game. I know Ollie won't as he is interested in winning the league but the right thing to do would be to not turn up for the fixture.

**bohs til i die** · 01/11/2006, 2:23 PM

Basically they should have just awarded Shels a 3-0 win. Our squad is down to the bare bones at this stage.

In the interests of fair play, we should now appeal to have our game with Drogheda re-played. Drogheda only had to get the ball into our 6 yard area to be awarded a goal. Fair play and all that.

We could have about 40 home gates a year.

Ollie asked for a replay from the start. The Fai gave him what he wanted...he's hardly gonna say actually no thanks. That would take caring about the state our league is in and unfortunately Ollie doesnt

**drummerboy** · 01/11/2006, 2:27 PM

Seems to me that Ollie really needs that prize money urgently. Delaney obviously needs Ollie on his side.

**Dodge** · 01/11/2006, 2:28 PM

So now Bohs are deducted 3 points for a game that never existed?

its win the league (and qualify for the cl) or bust for Ollie
the way his club is geared financially he simply cant refuse any avenue or loophole in pursuit of it - even than it wont cover their operating costs and losses but there aint no way he's gonna take a "good of the league" view of events

he's chasing his tail tbh but it has to end sometime as the returns just arent there as has been conclusively proven over the last few seasons

That was the first thing I thought of. This is two fold. The extra cash from winning the league, plus the extra cash from getting further in the Champions League (they'd be seeded in the 1st round and have as good a chance in the 2nd round as they did last time).

And if shels win bohs will be 3 points worse off than they were before this decision wont they??

If so time for bohs to appeal

**Paraic** · 01/11/2006, 2:33 PM

Think this is the table based on the original game being deleted from the record. I deleted the original result and still dropped the 3 points from Bohs

What's the odds that Ollie will appeal and look for the 3-0 result without having to go through the pain of a replay?

1 Shelbourne 25 16 7 3 53 21 55 32
2 Derry City 25 15 7 3 42 17 52 25
