In a sense Bohs have got away with the infringement as they lost the game anyway.
#justiceforderryandpats further points deduction
That game really is the gift Interestingly Mandroui appears on the list of suspensions for the pats game but was not on the previous list, does anybody (and I include the FAI in that) know how it works ? I though you were suspended after the list issued (as it had to be formally approved by the disciplinary committee). I also believe there are some exemptions from that (automatic ban for straight red for example) so when does a ban kick in ? after 5th yellow or after banned list approved ? Given the close proximity of matches the two are often not the same.
BTW all in all I think we should offer to replay the UCD game its only fair !
AFAIK its the clubs responsibility to pull players when they hit the tipping point as if games are rearranged the disciplinary committee may not necessarily sit between the 5th booking and the next game.
Club secretary for Bohs is probably the happiest man in Phibsboro that Bohs lost the match, if they had 3 points taken off after winning the game he would be in deep doo doo.
You'd think Mandroiu would remember himself that he had 5 bookings!
As far as I know it was known he had 5 yellows but his name was not on list issued of suspended players. If list identifies mean anything why is it issued at all ?
Surely the FAI / League decide these things ? WTF do these clowns do all days ? Hardly still selling season tickets 😁
Anyway, still going with a replay as the solution 😁
Bad week for the club all around. A question for anybody with a better knowledge of the rulebook than me. So assuming Mandroiu is banned against Pats because the game was forfeitted against UCD, and he didn't serve his suspension. With that being the case, surely Pender and Kearns bans should be rescinded too, if the game never happened?
Bohs accepting responsibility for the matter anyway, confirming that the FAI had notified them but someone in Bohs didn't send the e-mail on.
The lists circulated to media and/or on League Website are not the official notification - they're for media use. Clubs get individual notification of suspensions.
Hearing that bohs have a 3 point penalty..first asterix in a while
Fair play to the Bohs board for the candid nature of the statement and the fullsome acceptance of responsibility.
It's the easiest thing in the league for clubs to manage bookings. Some clubs even plan for what games players can miss.
For Bohs to miss this is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment. But because they've lost the game anyway, not a peep about it. They should be docked 3 points too, but obviously rules are in place already.
So much for the best run club in the league. There are a serious amount of clowns running Bohs and Cork at present. Very vocal clowns too.
They will be docked 3 points , apparantly that's the rule.
It makes sense when you think about it , let's say bohs had lost the match 4 nil... They would have no penalty at all.
Good point sbgawa but I thought when the league announced today that Bohs only had a fine that was the end of it.
Bohs and Cork need to be careful. The lunatics have taken over the asylum but it seems to be accepted at both clubs.
Bizarre comments. Other than screwing up on the Mandriou suspension, I can't think of any other issue that the current Bohs leadership have committed lunatic acts!.
Negotiated and acheived debt free status, public backing for a new stadium, biiggest average crowds in 30 years, deeper community links?
Are you having a pop at the two only member owned clubs (without a big investor) for some other reason.?
The nerve of the league doing this to The People's Club™
Had forgotten about the Bob Marley episode, that was a mixture of sassy marketing, lack of foresight and letting a good idea overwhelm good governance. That it turned out positively was very very lucky.
The biggest criticism that I hear about the current Bohs set up is that they are still traumatised from dealing with the brinkmanship which nearly put the club out of business, so wont commit all available funds to strengthening the squad and nailing down third place. They would also be criticised by some for spending too much time on the community/"right on" initiatives, rather than football issues, and I can see the latter being more strongly put following the Mandrioiu debacle.
I would be genuinely interested to hear Lilywhite`s rationale for the comments on "lunatic" behaviour.
