I feel terrible for the fans of Dublin City

, I honestly can't imagine what I'd do if that happened to Bray. Also feel sorry for players and staff, hopefully they can land on their feet.

I see where you're coming from to a degree, but how attached can you get to a 5 year old "experiment" ?

I think one of the Cork teams once went bust mid season. Pretty sure they weren't the only ones.

As for Dublin City, it's great news. They were always just a stick for the league's knockers to beat us with. I'd love to see someone buy dublincityfc.com and stick a load of quotes from Seery and his apologists on it.

The ones I feel most sorry for are Cobh, we deserved to be relegated but they were denied a shot at the premier by that **** take of a club.

tell that to my 10 year old son, he started crying when he heard. As I said before when you follow a team you follow a team. I didnt know any of the bagage that came with Dublin City until I started supporting them, not all people who support a team have done a university degree in the history of the LOI as you must have done based on your knowledge of the irish game.

Rocky always made sure the players were paid & that has to be to his credit. i know a lot of people don't like Rocky, but I�m proud to call him a friend. He has put his own money into the club & he is the biggest loser in money terms. It was me that instigated the deal with Carroll's. As a Director of Carroll's I have put money into the club, but we didn't bank roll it. I�ve had over 4 years of fantastic craic & fun, I�ve met fantastic people in particular those that post here. Unfortunately probably a lot more teams will go the same way. Slan Dublin City. Thanks for the memories

Commiserations, kiddo. Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of the fans, I always thought you showed a lot of bottle and no little ability when thrust into the action, no matter how little preparation you'd had. I take it from what you're saying that the club never failed to honour the players' pay-packets during your tenure at DC?

absolutely nothing was said and players were always paid on time no matter what the circumstances were.players never had to complain about payments unlike other clubs.it just leaves us all with a sense of confusion because nobody knows what the next step is going to be

I was just asking a question FFS!!

Look I know you're real emotional right now

but there was no need for the "university" jibe.

you missed out/ignored a huge chunk of football culture in not knowing your history..

comiserations to the fans and the players of the former club.

As for the solution - the only course of action has been taken - the full expunging of the club's League record - it happened with Maidstone, Aldershot, Leeds City and Accrington.

So the Shels lot can stop whinging - as said before - someone gets burnt - a full expunging of a club's record is the usual course of action.
