Licences 2011

**Lim till i die** · 11/02/2011, 2:13 PM

If that shambles of a jokeshop of a folly above in Drogheda is allowed into the Premier Division just days after tapping people pension books and piggy banks (again) it will be a disgrace.

Nothing in the rules to prevent it though.

Except probably the ground criteria, and if they enforced those strictly it wouldn't just be Drogheda to suffer....

I think licences are out next Monday or Tuesday.

I'm not saying there is but seriously how stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID, is this jokeshop of a league, where everyone trundles happily along and no one learns anything ever. Ever.

I know what you mean. I could handle the craziness if after each thing happened the rules were tweaked/ tightened to prevent a recurrence.

But sure when that didn't happen after the Derry thing it never will.

So if we know that Drogs got the pd place then we can take It as read that Bohs stay where they are and the fd will have one less team.

May I be the first to say "B0LLOX TO THAT"

No you can't assume that from any FAI utterances

Don't ya know that licencing decisions are completely independent of the FAI!!!!!

Some people......................

I'd guess Cobh are likely to be promoted to the FD.

**legendz** · 12/02/2011, 1:13 PM

I'd guess Cobh will be promoted as well. Fair play to them for being willing to take part in the A Championship and look to rebuild. It's a shame other clubs haven't done the same.

You would guess that. But again you fall into the trap of applying logic to anything the FAI do.

**sixesandsevens** · 13/02/2011, 10:59 AM

This whole license scheme sounded pretty reasonable to begin with, then the FAI got involved and decided to relegate/promote whoever they want willy nilly

**Doomofman** · 13/02/2011, 12:58 PM

When's the announcement of this? Tomorrow or Tuesday?

**BonnieShels** · 13/02/2011, 1:04 PM

The fourteenth Wednesday after St Swithin's day.

Who got relegated that didn't deserve to, and who got promoted that didn't deserve to

Ah, licence day. One of the most exciting days in the league calendar. I wonder if it's like that in other leagues

I'm pretty sure in every league besides ours, it's a totally none event... But we're the LOI for gods sake... We must have drama... Kinda feel like our league is the football version of those Daz ads they show these days
