Cork City denied a licence; club to be wound up; FORAS to enter First Division

**Leeside Swagger** · 18/10/2009, 3:56 PM

From the live updates on the city website on Friday night. Yet another disgruntled employee perhaps?

WTF??

Don't break any league rules at the moment.

Try again....

I knew that rang a bell on Friday night.

dcfcsteve - there's one rule they've broken

- not allowed to say bold things like that on the official website.

Any news if the players got paid or not today?

**brianw82** · 19/10/2009, 4:14 PM

Heard from a mate at work, who heard on Newstalk, that the players are balloting for strike action today.

Can anyone confirm?

**Longfordian** · 19/10/2009, 4:22 PM

Their deadline for payment was 4 p.m today but no definite news on Cork forum as yet.

They already balloted and voted for strike action and have given notice for tomorrow night should the deadline not be met.

**Leeside Swagger** · 19/10/2009, 5:06 PM

Players were not paid today according to newstalk. Looks like the strike will go ahead.

**Réiteoir** · 19/10/2009, 6:54 PM

So that would mean them not fulfilling the Rovers game tomorrow up in Tallaght?

If so - and the FAI apply their rules correctly - then Rovers will be handed a 3-0 win.

Interesting times indeed

**Jicked** · 19/10/2009, 7:05 PM

And Rovers will also have to refund all tickets they've sold for a crucial game, having just sold nearly 5,000 tickets for their last game against Drogheda.

**centre mid** · 19/10/2009, 7:08 PM

Supporters forum seem to suggest that the deadline has been extended, so it looks like they will travel.

Jesus Christ

This is why I've fallen out of love with football this year. Hey the club is gone to hell and they clearly are sinking fast but lets extend deadlines all over the place, make the league seem like even more of a joke than it already is and hopefully good things will happen to people with good intentions.

And this is what Limerick are aiming to get into

**brianw82** · 19/10/2009, 7:19 PM

They'll have the money "tomorrow morning" according to MNS.

Trouble is that tomorrow is always one day away.

Cork players are at dispute, and Cork players ave extended their deadline. Nothing much to do with Limerick

No but you'll forgive me for thinking that if Cork, Galway, Bohs, Derry etc. can't make a go of it without ruining their club (or at least getting into serious bother) than we wouldn't fare much better in the top flight

**The Lep** · 19/10/2009, 8:36 PM

Would cork city agree to extend deadlines if money was owed to them?
points should have been docked with every deadline extension given to them, maybe they would have coughed up money owed a bit quicker.
