    More likely I'd say would be points deductions, like in Germany (Kaiserslautern docked three points this year). Would look ridiculous with every club in the league being docked points, but I wouldn't put it past the eL...

    Can't see anyone being relegated on the grounds that no team in the First stands out as being better than any in the Premier.

    I take it you don't visit the eL board anymore? Sure everyone knows that Galway are the only one's ready...

    But they won't be let up because of the Dublin conspiracy (including Longford).
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    You missed out Cork - sure they got allocated a share of the European Money, which was a Dublin stitch up obv....

    This is heading for the realms of fantasy lads

    However Drogheda have to be an at risk club? Sligo and other would have better existing grounds than the Drogs

    This just gets better and better, doesn't it?! If Shels or Pat's get their application turned down, expect them to claim that part of it was lost in the fire...

    No chance they could do something properly for once, is there?!

    No.

    Incidentally I read the licencing summary when it came out last year and just downloaded the full manual (it's on the FAI website) some of the ****e is unreal. ''Club should arrange for public transport to connect with all main railway stations, bus stations and airports
    EL grounds are like good episodes of The Simpsons, no matter how many times you see them they're still funny

    I don't think UEFA are enforcing this for at least another season though, it depends how the FAI reacts to the complacency shown by the EL clubs.
    They've given themselves plenty of leeway, see my posts here

    Sure nobody would suspect him either - everyone knows water is his method of choice!

    My favourite is the bit that say premier division grounds need to have a lightening conductor but first division grounds don't.

    According to soccercentral not even one club managed to get a premier division licence. Some sham. Completely the clubs faults i reckon.

    Lack of support, and will, in the FAI I would say is more to blame personally....

    Apparently us and Dublin have got a First Division license. No mention of anyone else just yet.

    Derry are appealing for a premier licence.... Apparently it's all Harps fault, and their appeal will be "we're from the 6 counties you know"...
