What a garbage article, really ****-poor attempt at journalism. Doesn't even mention that the Derry that qualified went into administration or anything!

Lads,
It is just like the article from Kerr- speculation. Let's wait for an announcement.
there could be some truth in it
pats were told on wednesday by the fai that the SSC committee were meeting on thursday and an annoucemnet on derry and the future of the competition would be made before the w/e
WTF??clubs like Cliftonville, Coleraine, Glentoran and Sligo Rovers up in arms as their chance of progressing to the semi-final stages have all but ended because of the Candystripes’ expulsion.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I assume the journo is referring to the "best runner up spot" situation which gspain alluded to earlier in the thread.
Are Linfield and Pats going to get walkovers for their games v Derry? If so, how will the other clubs feel.
Of course, I forgot there were three groups this year.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
It'll be even more fun when Cork get kicked out too.
The extent of "old" Derry City's debts revealed.

The Englishmen came over in the year 2005
But little did they know that we'd planned a wee surprise
Sir David scored the winner, and Windsor Park went wild
And this is what we sang...
Statement on behalf of the Setanta Sports Cup Organising Committee
The Setanta Sports Cup Organising Committee today (15/1/10) confirmed that Derry City F.C. will not be invited to compete in the remainder of the 2009/10 Setanta Sports Cup. As the club recently had its contract to participate in the League of Ireland terminated, the Setanta Sports Cup Organising Committee has ruled that it would be inappropriate to invite the club to compete in the remainder of the tournament.
Consequently, the following arrangements will come into immediate effect:
The results of the two matches, as well as disciplinary sanctions relating to the two matches, played by Derry City to date (1-1 v St. Patrick’s Athletic and 1-1 v Linfield) will stand;
Derry City’s two remaining fixtures in the tournament will not be played and Linfield and St. Patrick’s Athletic will be awarded 3-0 victories;
Derry City were due to face Linfield on February 26th/27th. This fixture will be replaced by a fixture between Linfield and St. Patrick’s Athletic.
Furthermore, the Setanta Sports Cup fixture between Cork City and Sligo Rovers, which was postponed on November 9th, has been rescheduled for February 22nd at Turner’s Cross with a 7.45pm kick-off.
Let the can of worm re "Best Runner Up" start.........
"With Derry no longer in the competition there has to be serious doubts over weather the tournament can continue with clubs like Cliftonville, Coleraine, Glentoran and Sligo Rovers up in arms as their chance of progressing to the semi-final stages have all but ended because of the Candystripes’ expulsion. "
Very unprofessional.
Kildare County RIP
