Trying to find rule in relation to clubs going into Examinership - checking to see if they will be refused licence next year, saving our hides - and I came across this in FAI rulebook.
Will be interesting to see if FAI apply the rule:

RULE 87. FAILURE TO PLAY AND ABANDONMENT
If a team refuses to play a match or refuses to continue playing one which it has begun, it shall be sanctioned with a fine and shall forfeit the match
RULE 126. FORFEIT
Teams sanctioned with a forfeit are considered to have lost the match by 0-3

Somehow, I don't see the FAI applying the full letter of the law in this one. Something must be going on behind the scenes as the decision was due out today

By the way, an award of a 3-0 win would equal the best result of the club in its short history

Dundalk 1-0 up at half time, Mulvenna on 24 mins

[Rovers1]

2-1 Dundalk

Good win for us tonight, we played well for most of the game and deserved it.. Hopefully that's an end to our rough patch.

Unfortunately the scorer of our first goal Tiernan Mulvenna is out for the rest of the season after an horrendous tackle from Brian Kelly, who somehow got off with a yellow card.

[The Lilywhites]

That's the third time in four home matches that we've had that ref. And what a KUNT he is.

[boris]

from the opposite side i thought we deversed a draw tonight, esp with the clear penalty not given for the handball on the line near the end, but then away teams dont get them in the last few minutes. we started poorly playing like a team that were waiting for it to happen for them and then were 2 down before playing as we have recently in the second half, would agree with a ref assesment though, including for that foul, but then a few bad late tackles went unpunished on both side so maybe he downgraded every foul!!!. me thinks another season in the first for us.

[jinxy lilywhite]

That ref was a joke. Kelly went for Mulvenna to take him out of the match.
Good result for us but we should of scored more. I thought we would of rued Farrells miss in the second that would made it 3-1.

Hopefully thats the end of the rough patch and roll on Waterford next wk

[The Lilywhites]

Limerick 37 forfeited the match (0-3) and fined €1,000 for failing to play their eircom League of Ireland First Division fixture v Wexford Youths (06.10.08)

The Bohs security Gestapo strike a blow for free speech by illegally removing Pat the Rat banners from young City fans for being "offensive". Video will be on Youtube later.

Not only that, but there's strong rumours put about on the radio that it's:

Waterford United 3-0 Athlone Town! (ineligible player played - very much tbc this one!)

Goalscorers at Jackman are Dave Ryan (14) and Gary Dunphy (15 pen) btw.

2 - 0 rovers(doherty),ball into the box and the keeper caught it behind the line.

[Longfordian]

Waterford United 3-0 Athlone Town! (ineligible player played - very much tbc this one!)

Isn't that normally a three point decution for the offending team rather than awarding the game to the opposition? Or has that changed?.

[stann]

Limerick 2-1 ahead, deservedly on play so far.
Awful goalkeeping error though, Danaher (38).

I would have thought so, maybe the rules have changed, the two lads commentating seemed fairly sure of it, but we'll see. I wonder alright if somebody didn't mix it up with the Wexford story to get two 3-0 scorelines when there should be only one.
