Oily got a one month ban from attending EL games - very lenient!

What I want to know is what exactly does this ban mean and when Ollie breaks it what will happen?

**Anto McC** · 07/09/2005, 9:34 PM

Nothing will happen,It's Ollie

**iceman** · 07/09/2005, 9:55 PM

Tend to agree , he seems to be able to do whatever he wants and get away with it.

Yeah and wait till he buys the title from under Corks nose,you'll start to notice a few dodgy decisions go against the home side in the X from now on

Just for the record,Cork fans,I am being sarcastic

How did he get away lightly? A �2000 fine? I doubt Ollie takes much more than about 15k p/a from Shels considering his dedication to the club. About as harsh a punishment as we could expect.

**Slash/ED** · 08/09/2005, 12:37 AM

lightly

**Student Mullet** · 08/09/2005, 1:14 AM

Let's plant a mole in 21 eL grounds.

I'll report if he turns up in Belfield.

So when does the ban start and what games will it cover?

**markdit** · 08/09/2005, 7:25 AM

what i cant understand is how he gets such small fines and lenient punishments when he gives the eL such a bad name on a regular basis

if only he could be put out of anything 2 do with the eL good

we should be so lucky

What kind of fine do you expect the FAI to dish out? Last month Fenlon's �1000 fine was said to be a league record by �400. Ollie has been fined �2000 and banned for a month. What more do you expect, seriously? That's probably a massive chunk out of his salary from Shelbourne.

**Vitruvian Man** · 08/09/2005, 10:54 AM

Two grand is a big fine in El terms.
I wonder if the league will accept a sterling cheque from the Ulster Bank in Newry.

�2000 is a huge fine in EL terms. In that article it says its double the highest ever received, which was Nutsy's!

lol.

**pete** · 08/09/2005, 11:21 AM

�2000 is big enough fine in eL terms if go by previous records. It shuld be noted that Oily has been repeatadly warned & threatened as to his future behariour included a couple of times last season.

Does anyone actually believe Oily could stay away from a home game at Tolka an hour pre & post match?

Any UCD fans see Fenlon at Tolka last week? Is he upholding his ban?

What will the eL do when Oily and/or Fenlon break their bans?

**Vitruvian Man** · 08/09/2005, 11:42 AM

When Bohs played Shels in Dalymount this season Nutsy was serving a touchline ban.

He spent the entire time in the TV gantry with a great view of the game and constantly on his mobile phone to Eamon Collins. We even have him on video doing it.

The touchline bans are an inconvenience - not a punishment.

It still cost us big time though didn�t it?

It was that Crawley/Cahill fuk up that cost us the game, it wouldn�t have happened if Fenlon was on the bench. Collins can�t be trusted to do anything!

**EnDai** · 08/09/2005, 11:48 AM

The rules allow him to do it, so there's nothing wrong with it. However, they need to clamp down on the strictness of these "bans" and keep offenders away from the pitch.

It might also help the conduct of some people if the bands were more serious!

The bans say that perosn must stay away from ground during the game as wel, as 1 hour before & after it. Are you suggesting a commentary box is not in the ground?

When it concerns a manager, I don't think they say that the person has to be away from the ground, but rather that they have to be a certain distance from the pitch and the dressing rooms. He certainly cannot be in contact with the bench though.

The Ollie ban though seems to be different as he is not a manager,and hence, a touchline ban would be no punishment, so he won't be allowed into the ground.
