Dodge will you wake up, Derry are not the only team at this, a lot of chairman are bricking Derry got caught and im disgusted with the club, but will Delaney throw every club out that has been up to this. I said before and I will say again the fireworks on this have only just started, we will bring down other clubs with us.

Flexy,

The Revenue audit a few years ago cleaned a lot of the rest of the clubs. Since we are under HMRC, we didn't go through that.

we will bring down other clubs with us.

Any of the top 6 please.

I thought Derry's argument was that they didn't do anything wrong. Yours is that everyone is doing it?

Look after your own club, and if you can prove it about other clubs fire away

[Réiteoir]

Drumcondra, Kilkenny City, Transport, Thurles Town, Kildare County, Newcastlewest and Dublin City iirc

[DJP09]

Regardless of how much it is, its pretty hard to feel sorry for Derry, as a club, even if I feel desparately for their fans (bar Flexy, obviously) when they quite clearly lied to fAI about, at least, one players' contract

You in the PR business? if Derry are wrong they are wrong, maybe this will make others think twice but as a Derry fan I am only concerned that we are above board and fair.

I do think the FAI's handling of this is poor and showing documents to journalists whilst refusing Derry the same privilege is hardly a model of fair play. Likewise Delaneys reference to 'celebrity lawyer' is hardly becoming of a man in his position, points more to fear that Derry brought him in and did not roll over.

Likewise the request that players come forward and confess hardly leads one to believe that he has anymore than the one contract which he extrapolated to arrive at the 337K sum.

Quick post.I was at the meeting last night and the only contract (the one to get us thrown out) was the first contract dealt with by the current board almost two years ago.

As it was the only piece of evidence Derry were allowed to see on Saturday at the Kangaroo court the F.A.I. seemed to have made a major blunder in that F.A.I. contracts have 4 pages in which the back page of the document given to Derry only had the 1st three pages,the back page was blank.

The back page of every F.A.I. contact includes in accordance with
term's 27 and 28. which null and voids any previous contract made by the player.

Seems that the F.A.I. may have seriously messed up which would make the threat to the Derry players to own up to make more sense.

Why would the F.A.I. need them to "own up" if they already had the evidence. Doesn't make sense????????????

Why are Derry fans so trusting of their board? Even before this story broke they'd lied to you about their finances? Why you so certain they're telling the truth about this?

The Board refused to answer whether there were dual contracts!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all the FAI don't need to present evidence. They are the governing body not a court of law.

Secondly, my understanding is that the contracts submitted to the FAI were supercedded by other (more expensive) contracts, but that these contracts were not submitted to the FAI. In a legal sense the second contract is the relevent one and the first is null and void. The problem is not that there was a second contract. The problem is that it was not lodged with the governing body.

Thirdly, you are being fooled by political spin from a discredited board of directors.

I thought they were covering some of the UCD game and trophy presentation on MNS last night or is that being held over until 23 November programme?

Did you not see in the final credits it showed UCD lifting the trophy?!

That's enough 1st Division for the season!

Delaney produced players bank statements on the RTE news last night showing that salaries were being paid in as per the second contract.

Delaney produced players bank statements on the RTE news last night showing that salaries were being paid in as per the second contract.

Let's just clarify a few things here.

Delaney showed the bank statement for one players and then showed an extrapolation for the rest.

He admitted on Radio Foyle this morning that they have details for one contract.

If the FAI had all the evidence on Saturday, common decency would say you give it to the accuse. Instead, Delaney is going for the death by a thousand cuts approach using the media.

[OneRedArmy]

Whoever used the poker analogy is dead right.

Both sides have gone all in, with a bit of bluff.

Thurs will be interesting.

would reckon deniro that they will show it on their program in two weeks time.. understandably the derry city story relegated this event..

[BohDiddley]

Con was negative deriding the league; the state of the grounds etc etc. He was negative. The league is of good standard. Eg Pats ( average LoI team ) tremendous run in Europe, Bohs should have beaten Salzburg etc. Objective proof. The crowds are lacking, thats all. Does he expect we should have grounds like the Emirates in Sligo, Bray etc.

Fully agree. Apart from the Shamrock boosterism (which is warranted up to a point as a good news story), there's a terribly apologetic pall hanging around that studio, with too much focus on the politics and the finances and not enough on the play.

Asking the league boss what's wrong with the league isn't going to increase attendances. Imagine Linekar @ Co. moaning on about the financial madness and the lack of competition in the EPL.

[Weatherman]

And Darren Quigley better not set foot in Derry again

what did he do??

[DeNiro]

Thanks Marty. Is there any more bad press to come I wonder. It must be nearly all out in the open at this stage. I presume Derry's explusion would stop any of their players representing Ireland U23s in the forthcoming international challenge trophy next year.

[shep]

My wifes french and i woz looking forward to the game this Saturday, but now my allegance wll be with Les Bleus, and will only laugh at Delaney when we dont get to the world cup as the man is an absolute lying clown. Never liked him and hate him even more now

Slight over-reaction??? Like you either support the boys in green or u dont....to say u will now cheer France on is a bit silly....unless of course ur a Norn Irn fan
