The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

You've got no fans.
We wouldn't have got that group, we would have been in Pot 2, not Pot 4, as Sion were.
So they're going to go and redo the whole draw again if ye get their place?
According to BBC it'll be a straight swap with Sion.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
No, just get their place.
Whats that got to do with anything? He is talking about if you replace them now
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14679531.stmCeltic have been given renewed hope of being re-instated into the Europa League after Uefa insiders indicated that Sion are likely to be thrown out.
It's looking likely this now going off what Platini and co are saying. The person who scored twice shouldn't have been on the pitch so personally I think they should be thrown out.
Right, so the whole draw is going to be done again in order to give Celtic a fair seeding..
Should they win their appeal that is.

No, was just saying if we were in the draw we wouldn't have got the same draw as we would have been in a different pot to them.
MeathDrog, btw I can't stop laughing at your fecking signature, classic mate!

Events this week make you wonder whether the Setanta Cup might not be better re-imagined as an LoI-SPL competition. Our standard has definitely increased to the point where teams can realistically compete with most SPL teams, and the Scottish football calendar might have more gaps in future years if its clubs' seedings and advanced entry take the hit that this year's results suggest.
I think it would probably create more interest here than playing IL teams. Possibly more money too: can't imagine Derry or Rovers v Hearts getting a worse crowd than, say, Glentoran or Linfield would bring.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Can you imagine the horrors of having to provide security for the Rangers games here?
You think it couldn't be done? We're talking 10% ground capacity being given to Rangers fans, which means between 300 and 1,000 tickets, presumably only sold to season ticket holders. We have enough policing and security experience to deal with that, surely?

It's not just the people in the ground you'd have to worry about though. I wouldn't put it past some of the Weegies, or people from the North, to come down and take the opportunity to wreak some havoc. It wasn't people who were at the game who trashed Manchester a few years back, by and large.
It's a terrible idea. And would seem to totally miss the point, if there's any, of the setanta.
As to why it's even more pie in the sky than usual.
They'd have to have large holes in their calendars on a regular basis.
They might actually have to take the thing seriously - admitting this is the level they're at is one thing. Getting embarrassed is another. Both would affect their bottom line.
How about a carling nations cup but for clubs....
the welsh and n irish would be at a relative similair level and then non glasgow clubs same level (?) as loi and if celtic and rangers wanted it would be interesting....
as for the other comment. What is the point of Setanta...?
