Threaten to sue probably.

Nobody has licences yet so on that basis there shouldn't be any fixture lists.
If its for last years clubs SRFC ii should be in there
But the FAI said licences were due out last Thursday before the 1st division fixtures were to be announce. Then last minute they changed it and released the fixtures (sort of), and changed licence date now the end of Feb. I'd say there's something fishy alright and its most likely to do with POS acting the maggot.
Maybe Mark Scanlon is just as incompetent as Gavin was and this annual farce will continue indefinitely
If POS was suing, I don't think he'd be this quiet about it.
At any other time i'd agree that fixtures out before licenses being issued would be farcical. But this year its probable that there is a lot of creativity and rule bending for applications (like any other year lol), and whatever rules were actually adhered to there could be some turning a blind eye. Maybe there are allocations of funding yet to finalised and slowing up the license process. If we make it through the season without any clubs withdrawing or digging a big hole of debt well it could show that there is some bit of stability possible.
Is O'Sullivan gone completely bonkers with still trying to flog a dead horse? For a man that has spent a lot of money, pulled back on funding but yet seems to be clinging on for dear life, which still has to be costing him something, it just makes no sense. Stubborn pride, childish or petty or a complete Walter Mitty!? Does he have any support in Limerick on the small chance that he gets a berth for his club?
Naw the Kilcoynes should be SRFC heroes - sure look at the ground Rovers had built for free in the end as a result of what Louis and co's dealings set in motion. Milltown, alternatively, would probably be an outdated ground, a poor spectator facility stuck in the 1970s, albeit full of nostalgic charm for home fans, probably with a plastic pitch to try and generate money to spend on the old place, and be a big financial burden to modernise. It was a bit of a journey but look where it ended up!!!
I know of no one who supports him at this stage. There have been some lows following Limerick over the years but a team was always fielded, even that one last thing ended on his watch through pure vanity and spite. His mindset now is difficult to understand unless his kick is being where he is not wanted.
He had a good tilt at it but broader buy in, sponsorship and investment did not come and that tells its own story. It wasn't credibly run to garner that support in the eyes of the parties who did consider getting involved and that proved accurate.
He should just stop now.
I think you'll find he's every Rovers supporters enemy No. 1, Milltown is the spiritual home where all the heroic teams played, can you imagine in 30 years if Dundalk were playing in a new Municipal stadium with all mod cons, what would the genuine supporters want? to be playing in Oriel, with all it's frailties, but yet, all the charm it still holds for fans
So KoH doesnt stand for Kilcoyne our Hero?
Playing in a new municipal ground with all mod cons?? I'll take thatm genuine supporter and all!! Name the place New Oriel and make a bunch of new heroes and memories. It would be a wrench but sentiment only goes so far. Now if the old place was getting a facelift with the council footing the bill - well it would be like winning a double for football ground development!
Moving from Milltown to Tallaght is not the problem. It's the 25 years of homelessness in the middle.
Had Kilcoyne a brother btw?
(Seeing as we're way off topic anyway)
There was a Pat Kilcoyne played for UCD from around 1966 to 70; it's an unusual name and I wonder is he related? There was a link between the Kilcoynes and UCD anyway, and the Doc was friends with Louis
Knew there were at least two Kilcoyne brothers but Louis' obituary indicates three - Louis, Paddy and Barton.
