Yes, as a Pats fan I was all too aware of the intiricacies of it...Originally Posted by higgins
To prevent this precise rubbish from clubs. The FAI can't be accused of bias or inconsistency now because there is only one option.These rules appear much more restricted in what you can do.
Previously every single ruling was challenged by clubs. Now its one rule for all

Behave yourself!! Waterford disadvantaged my backside.
The player came on with 12 minutes left. If the game had been called off at that point, due to a hurricane, the result would have stood.
As I keep on saying this is not a complaint about Dundalk is being disadvantaged. It that's the rule is clearly and very obviously unfair and if it is maintained we'll be going over this ground again with other clubs. I wonder if Harps were relegated as a result of it, would you see matters in a different light? And before you ask, yes if Dundalk got the advantage of this rule I'd still say its unfair, just as I didn't argue that Dundalk be given 3 points when Rovers played a suspended player against us.

The amount of people arguing with you would indicate that the "clearly and very obviously" part of your argument is wrong
I can't see one single way in which this rule is unfair

If Cobh where playing away to Bohs in the last game and needed a win to stay up and Bohs where winning 3-0 and made a substation in the final minute and a player that was ineligible came on. Cobh would then get three points they didn't deserve and stay up. Would that be fair on the other clubs?
I think I'll end my involvement in this debate on that absolute gem.
Worthy of a nomination for POTM!

Irrational hatred by a football fan of a rival team....
Who'd have thunk it.
Ok, Waterford can keep their 2 points
Sorry Dodge. You remember the Shels fans - I remember the Pats fans. The threats of what Pats fans were going to do to us if we dared show up at Inchicore (remember Eurosaint and his mates) The statement on one board that a Pats fan was going to bring a rifle down to Tolka. The large antagonistic and foul-mouthed crowd taunting Ollie at Richmond who then proceeded to complain to the Gards when he finally snapped at the end of the game. The shower of tykes who showered us with stones from over the wall every time we went there. Sorry, ye behaved disgustingly.
While I do appreciate there were many who didn't associate themselves with that kind of behaviour, I'm sorry, my view of the club took a tarnishing that I can't get rid of.
No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones

Having met some of the shels apes over the years I dont think anyone can take the moral high ground.

(remember Eurosaint and his mates)........Oh sorry totally out of context but knowing eurosaint like i do that made me lol just know. He couldnt beat his way out of a wet paper bag with a hammer. Will let you back to your argument now.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to hear me up there on Mount Victim but I'd just like to point out that in all my years following the LoI Shels away support is right up there with Shams away support in the mongoloid stakes.
Whatever ye were getting from the Pats crowd it wasn't going too far astray.
As for the rule does anyone else not think it's very easily open to corruption??
