Derry City's contract with the league is gone. They are not demoted, they are just removed from this year's league. League Table will now adjust to positions 1-9. Results will still stand as the league has finished. The FAI board do not have the power to relegate Derry, only the licencing committee hold that power.

So what happens to the players regarding the League and the tax man ??

Very stupid of them to agree to under the table payments... They should also be banned for a period of time.

In terms of the game between Drogs and Bray, what is that for? Straight relegation or for the playoff against shels or fingal/

Alright lads, I get the picture now :P

Comiserations to all the Derry fans out there by the way

Sad day for the loi - derry will be sorely missed next season. Hopefully the club and their brilliant fans will be back sooner rather than later.

The night rovers played the cup semi final in the brandywell 3 years ago on halloween night was the best atmosphere bar none i have heard in a irish soccer stadium - i thought the roof was going to come off the home stand.

See ye soon

It's not clear to me that they've not paid tax on these second contracts. They're in breach of licensing, of course. Not that it matters really - there's no point really in continuing with that company.

So if Derry and Kildare go out of the league suely the FAI will have to just make one 20 team league next year and keep it like that fo the next few seasons while clubs try and turn themselves around no?

**Flexy** · 07/11/2009, 5:31 PM

Think FAI need to check every clubs accounts now because derry arent the only team who have players on 2 different contracts i can tell you that now. Delaney can stick his FAI and LOI up the Liffey for I dont give a monkey, the pansy****

I thought they were bound to a ten team Premier next year anyway?

**galwayjames** · 07/11/2009, 5:31 PM

The team which knocked out Gothenburg and Gretna will live long in the memory. Really sorry to hear it, one of the best clubs in the league in more ways than one...

`Not gloating just saying " Our season was faltered at start by been capped when we the fans decide to collected money to bring back Cook we were crtitised by Derry fans who boasted the we should not punch above our weight.All Im saying is People in glasshouses shouldnt throw stones.

Like eveyone else I know its another bad day for the league.But the more I read Derry obviously have been cheating the last few years to keep their accounts below the wages capped.

Cheats have no place in the league! No matter who their are.But it maybe gloating but the facts are there!
