Yep we lost to Derry in the final, they finished 2nd so they took Shels Champions League spot and we took Derrys Uefa Cup spot

Oh and i think we should get Corks spot because of our great results in the competition in the last 2 years, Only fair way

Not really Sporting Fingal still qualify for Europe as cup winners. If Cork do go bust their European qualification would go to the next placed team in the league

City were training in Blarney this morning
TV3 later for the details

**Onefootednopace** · 18/01/2010, 12:03 PM

A reporter on one of the local stations here (96FM..not always the most reliable) was out in Blarney giving details on City's training session. Murray, Murphy, O' Donnell, Connor, O' Halloran and some of the fringe players from last year are reported to be at training. The reporter mentioned that Roddy's son, apparently just released by Coventry City, was also training with the players. Anyone heard of him??
Just checked the calendar....April 1st is still 10 weeks away.

The interview yesterday was a hoot, if the FAI don't throw the book at Rod and Tom then there's no justice. Roddy's son, wait for it, young Rod, is about 15, he was training down in Malta with the Floriana youths and Roddy tried to give him a contract with the seniors (the 3 foreigner rule was used as the excuse why he wasn't signed) and he was over training with his uncle in Coventry for a week. He's supposedly signed with Cherry Orchard and played, before, with Shels youths. Decent youngster, but about 5 years away from 1st Division level, then again, if CCFC are aiming for the A Championship

Job's for the boys ???
Surely the lad is only training with City to keep his fitness levels up.

Derry 2nd etc
Drogs
Cork
Rovers

Shels were thrown out, so everyone moved up one position.
Pats were then given Derrys UEFA cup spot, as they were cup finalists.
Arguments could be made for both sides but Pats got it

No, it's so they can play 5 a side.

It would be interesting to check if Tom Coughlan turned up to train.
I remember this time last year he reportedly asked Paul Doolin if he could have run out with the lads, to help get over the Christmas excesses, Roddy would be more accomodating I'd say.

Great idea.....TNB on the ball...Danny Murphy comes in to tackle...only one winner in that challenge.

Just heard we had a couple of Czechs at training today.
All of them bounced.

100 pages on the thread now, who'd have though it when Duggie posted this on Page 1, way back last July.

July was when the thread started, many Soap Operas that are commissioned for TV don't last that long.

And a lot more to come ! (unless the courts provide a season finale

). Roddy already justifying the star billing we all expected with recent interviews, and the season hasn't even begun.
