As a result, Monaghan have been awarded the three points, and the league table has been fixed accordingly.

This is the second time Limerick have challenged the FAI in a legal battle this season, winning the first case regarding the FAI’s refusal to grant them permission to host F.C. Barcelona in glamour friendly back in July through a process of arbitration.

As expected...it wasn't our match so we didn't have a leg to stand on.

Taking this from another forum ...

The decision of the Independent Arbitrator was issued this evening in relation to Limerick FC�s hearing. The hearing was requested by the club after Finn Harps forfeited their September 3 match against Monaghan Utd for fielding an ineligible player. The Independent Arbitrator dismissed Limerick FC�s claim.

The arbitration was taken by Limerick FC after the Appeal Committee upheld the Disciplinary Committee�s original finding that Finn Harps had fielded an ineligible player.

This means that the original finding made by the Disciplinary Committee to award the match to Monaghan Utd will stand with Finn Harps forfeiting the game 3-0.

Jesus thats brilliant if true. Hoping to get up to it myself. Seeing a big away support should give the players a big boost.

Well ive been taking names for one of the buses and we have had to upgrade from 29 to 38 seater. I know there is another 29 seater going and was told there is more then likely another bus onto that.

Theres a listen live link there that should work id say.

**Jofspring** · 22/10/2011, 3:28 PM

So either a draw between Athlone and Monaghan or Shels to drop points and then lose to cork last game and we will go up providing we beat Waterford.

**Lim till i die** · 22/10/2011, 3:49 PM

We can also go up if we beat Waterford 12-0 and Shels beat Cork 11-0.

Will be a sickener if the FAI's mess up on the Harps Monaghan game costs us. (and it's very much looking like the most likely outcome!)

**abbeyvale** · 22/10/2011, 7:27 PM

As of Sat 22/10/11 (before Salt Hill v Shels)

1 Cork City 29 19 9 1 71 / 25 66
2 Monaghan United 29 20 4 5 55 / 27 64
3 Limerick 29 19 6 4 46 / 22 63
4 Shelbourne 27 20 2 5 53 / 21 62

Remaining Fixtures

Shels
Oct
22nd A Salthill Devon
25th H Finn Harps
29th H Cork City

Mons
Oct
29th A Athlone Town

Cork
Oct
29th A Shelbourne

Limerick
Oct
29th H Waterford United

With Shels currently leading 3-1 away v Salthill, our only hope is that Athlone get a draw or win v Mons on Friday and we beat Waterford, anything other than a win for LFC will see us fall short.
