What the FAI thinks of progressive clubs:

It's the kind of figure you'd love to publicly challenge, except that it's being used to have a go at the FAI over their ridiculous actions, so I say let him lie as much as he wants in this case.

Your enemy's enemy and all that

Still think the economy of Limerick is somewhat outside the brief of the FAI ! Mayor Probobly lost the run of himself after the "Good Friday victory" over the Munster rugby game.

Still, anything that can embarrass the FAI................

I'm willing to bet he considers little else. And I'm pretty sure he's very happy with his position. At the top of the dungheap he's schemed his way up.

Limerick taking the FAI to Court on Monday January 31st according to the back page of the Star.

**Longfordian** · 20/01/2011, 1:22 PM

Limerick denied a Licence will be on the back page shortly.

Hold on, don't FIFA hate it when clubs take associations to court? Could this potentially affect the national side?

**Dodge** · 20/01/2011, 1:33 PM

I think FIFA hate when governments interfere more.

The clubs v national assocation thing I'm not sure about

From a quick read of it it's about the whole Barcelona friendly not being given the go ahead. It was due to go to the Arbitration for Sport but supposedly Limerick where not happy with this so have decided to bring it to the High Court under the 2010 Arbitration Act.

I'm very weiry of this to be honest. The thoughts of how this could come back on Limerick if unsuccessful are not good.

The barstoolers will REALLY love the LOI then.

I think Dodge is close to the truth.

This assumes that they wouldn't have denied us one for the shenanigans earlier on in the year anyway.

I'm confident enough, they're struggling for clubs as is shur.

No Mr A the FAI will assure FIFA that the LOI has no connection whatsoever with football, the International team or the Assosiation itself and whats more it never did have

**Longfordian** · 20/01/2011, 3:44 PM

Looks like a Longford UCD fans game? Do I win a prize for that?

**SkStu** · 20/01/2011, 3:49 PM

Also, is there a person standing beside the two in the photo. I see what looks like a bare shin in between fat lads legs.
