Probably the best approach is to call a press conference when a decision is reached, unless they wanted 15 soccer journo's out of action all day....hmmm...

Extratime seems to be down right now - probably swamped with Derry fans.

This is all a distraction tactic. Now there's no one to report on today's real story.

Main sport headline on RTE.

It's part of their conspiracy to keep Derry in the Premier.

When there's no journos around to report on the First Division matches tonight, the FAI will use the lack of match reports to convinvce people that the First Division doesn't exist and never did. They'll claim the only way to punish Derry is to give them a big, pointless points deduction.

Apparently they held "second illegitimate contracts with players" and are out of the league entirely.

**refjohn** · 07/11/2009, 5:13 PM
