The Rules Compliance Commission of the Football Association of Ireland yesterday imposed a fine of €3,000.00 and the suspension from the Technical Area as Manager for four (4) matches in domestic competitions on Mr Damien Richardson, Manager of Cork City F.C, for misconduct following an FAI Carlsberg Cup game, arising from comments which were critical of an eircom League referee and the Football Association of Ireland and which were published in the media.
The comments were made after an FAI Carlsberg Cup tie between Longford Town and Cork City F.C. In light of Mr Richardson’s good character and apology to the referee in question and the FAI the three members of the Rules Compliance Commission, chosen from an independent panel, reduced the fine from €5,000.00 to €3,000.00 and suspension from the Technical area as Manager from six (6) games to four. This suspension will come into effect from Monday 10th July.
The Football Association of Ireland wishes to express their disappointment at the comments made by Mr Richardson, however they have accepted Mr Richardson’s unreserved apology to both the Association and the eircom League referee.
Mr Richardson does have the right to appeal this decision.

Who Cares?!
No need to obey the ban - remember last years precedent?
Not exactly what Cork need when they have a big old tax bill to sort out...
But in fairness Richardson's comments were way out of line and had to be severely dealt with.
Keeley must be in line for a bigger punishment...........i'll look forward to that
Seem to remember in the immediate post-rant period that he swore he wouldn't back down or apologise to either the Association or the official involved....nice to see him seeing sense, or more like Lennox made him apologise to reduce the fine, seeing as its unlikely it will be coming out of his own pocket.Originally Posted by soccerc
Is this a real fine and ban or a Fenlon style, fine and ban?
Have Boot Disk, will travel
This must be how the new eL prize money is to be funded.
Will Dublin City (official website comments) & Keely (commenst to the media) also be fined?
Did Shels ever pay their fine for the Setanta Cup or as suspected was this swept under the carpet when no one noticed in May?
Can you inform us what precedent that was Pete ???
John Delaney!! GET OUT!!!

Get a ****in life will ya!
Rico's comments were 100 times worse than Keelys!
Typical Corkie!
How many times did Fenlon break his touchline ban last year? I think it was 3 times at last count. Did the eL ever increase his ban?
Shels were fined in think 3000 for not making manager available for post match interview. It was suspended until further review in May because youse moaned about it so much in the media.
So when is the appeal again ??
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Was thinking that myselfIs this a real fine and ban or a Fenlon style, fine and ban?
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
Maybe we should ask the league, they're the ones that set the precedent.
Just wondering, Rico has got a mobile phone yeah ??

One hundred time worse ??

How did you measure that one? Is this some new scientific break through that has happened at Dalymount? Care to tell us all how you came up with the nice even number?

Do you suffer from short term memory lose Pete or are you just trying to increase your 'lets spread lies about shels' post count
Fenlon did not break his touchline ban three times!!!
When it was first pointed out that he broke the ban it was pointed out that the wording of the ban was wrong and he was perfectly within his rights in what he did.
The wording of the ban was later changed to clear the issue up.
When Fenlon then broke the reworded ban he was issued with another increased ban, he missed the last 4 games of the season as a result.
As for your Setanta fine
Shels found out about the fine when Setanta released it to the media. There was no warning and as it happended the rules that shels were supposed to have broke were not covered by the Setanta Disiplinary Committee. When it was pointed out to them they withdrew the fine as they realised they were in the wrong...
Can you get a ban for posting nonsense over and over and over.
It must be in the 100's now for the amount of posts you have with lies regarding Shels.
and seen as its a Rico thread. Pat was fined for his behaviour last year! nobody is against you

Ahh .... who* was doing the reading of this ban
* Can they actually read?

The ban is issued along with everyone elses ban!
The wording was wrong and Nutsy took advantage of it. When the FAI/EL or whoever the feck does the thing out realised they changed the wording to close the loophole.
This small point seems to have slipped from Petes mind!
Not for the first time and probably not for the last time. It comes round every few months...
John Delaney!! GET OUT!!!
