If Higgins and/or McGlynn are involved? I dunno.... i guess they would be suspended too and its too bad for us. Id imagine we would be able to terminate their contracts in some way though.

Well if you named the Team and the players were identifiable and there were no substantive grounds for your speculation then you would have landed this web site in a lot of difficulties. "What if`s" do not protect the publisher from defamation claims. Mods? (sorry no idea how to use report function)

for the benefit of those who are not registered to CCFC's forum, can you tell us what that says? Another internet rumour is hardly a reliable source. I gave you the benefit of the doubt in my response that you were referring to previous Derry players now at Bohs.

Fair enough, done up like a kipper.

well then my original response stands. If he is found to have breached the FAI rules and subsequently suspended so be it and we should be allowed to terminate his contract. If not, then the issue will be over as far as im concerned.

Plus there is a huge difference in betting on your own teams games and the bets that McGlynn has made.

I very much doubt you would be able to terminate his contract for it.

It's a standard player contract and id be shocked if it mentioned being able to terminate on the basis of breaking an FAI rule

**Longfordian** · 23/03/2010, 7:52 PM

There's quite a discrepancy between the punishment the FAI gave Dempsey and FIFA gave Morrow. It'll be interesting to see what McGlynn gets, the fact that his own team weren't involved in any games may mean a less severe punshment than Morrow but we'll see.

**SkStu** · 23/03/2010, 7:52 PM

im not sure if would be allowed to either micls but it doesnt mean that, on principle, we shouldnt be allowed to. That said, the more i read about it, the sorrier i feel for the guy and if he does get suspended, then maybe us fining him for a portion of his suspension would be a better idea, as was mentioned on the Bohs mb.

The rules don't specify a difference.

**SkStu** · 23/03/2010, 7:55 PM

i didnt say they did but i think most sane people would acknowledge that there is a difference in the two offences.

I didn't know the rule was that strict. There was a Sligo player last year putting stuff up on his facebook about betting on a game he was playing in which I presume would see the book thrown at him (he backed himself for first scorer if I remember correctly, I posted about it at the time)
