and lied about it, and were proven to have lied about it.Originally Posted by City till I Die
keep on dreaming, you'll be lucky to finish in 4th.
fenlon is a whinging tit. giving out about the dublin city and the bohs things still. if he was any good of a manager, he'd concentrate on winning the league on the pitch, instead of off it. Shelbourne don't always get their way.
Old Chinese saying go "just cause crazy Rovers stalker man use two latin words, does not make point valid".
Kenny's comments were criticising the complainant, ie Shels, and not the FAI, in actual fact they were supporting the FAI assessment of the Dublin City AND Bohs situations, so I don't know how you construe that as an attack on the FAI. In reference to the Hargan suspension, Kenny gets a free shot at the FAI as they were shown up to be incompetent at best and liars and frauds at worst (depending on whether you view the misrepresenting of a meeting date as a mistake or a deliberate attempt to pull the wool over a procedural error).
Why don't you just take it out on your Stephen Kenny voodoo doll that I've no doubt you possess.
Kenny rants at Fenlon, Fenlon rants at Kenny, which of them exactly is a sign of pressure?
Your solicitor proved...? Ah, oxymorons at their most potent.
Let Derry's appeal prevail. Let Shel's appeal fail. Let us have no doubt as to who the Champions are.
ps the real enemy are the Liverpool and Man U "supporters"

It is a bit funny you are allowed use Solicitors to prove your case and us using them is distroying the league. Why should you be punihsed for something not your fault. Was it anyones fault DC were removed from the league. Eitherway, you can argue both sides of this. The reality is in 5 games time we will not need to worry. One team will slip up and the other win it clear
For all your League of Ireland news - www.extratime.ie
I read somewhere that Derry kept their 3 points because they used a rule that the case should have been held in its own meeting & not part of wider disciplinary meeting?
Derry were wrong, Shels are also wrong.
How could Derry keep their points & Shamrock Rover lose theirs?
Are people on this site just thick or intentionally acting a prat? I'll put it in bold shall I
WE WON OUR APPEAL BECAUSE THE FAI DID NOT NOTIFY US OF THE SUSPENSION. IF WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED THEN HOW DO WE KNOW IF SOMEONE IS SUSPENDED. SAME APPLIES FOR ROVERS, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DEDUCTED AND SHOULD HAVE WON THE APPEAL BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT TOLD ABOUT THE SUSPENSION AND THE SUSPENSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPUNGED ALONG WITH ALL DUBLIN CITY'S RESULTS. DUNDALK DIDNT APPEAL BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM, AND THATS WHAT SHOULD APPLY TO SHELS!!!
If shels were in our position i've no doubt wotsoever that they would have a case like we did. so enuff of the "u didnt deserve to get ur points back" or "derry are wrong".

True, but it still doesn't answer Pete's question.

Champions.
16 leagues & 24 cups.
Well to answer Pete's question, how about this: a similar (not identical) technicality applies in both cases and both Derry and Rovers have watertight cases. But this season, cos of their European success, Derry are everybody's darlings whereas Rovers' new owners are an uppity bunch who are adamant about doing everything the right way no matter how much embarrassment it causes at whatever level. Therefore the powers that be are inclined to uphold Derry's appeal while at the same time they're inclined to stick it to Rovers just to paper over their own failings.
Revenge for 2002
When a Pats fan say Rovers were hard done by then you know some truth there.
Top marks.
Champions.
16 leagues & 24 cups.
At last! A penny seems to have dropped that just because Rovers were unfairly punished (& there`s no doubt they were) Derry didn't "get away" with anything. The Rovers finding was a shambles but it doesn't make the Derry exonneration any less valid.
People have obviously been listening a bit too much to the Tolka Park version of events from Frodo & Gollum.
Oh Stephen, Stephen, don’t you see
The most delicious irony?
Your words, reported in the press,
Betray your turmoil and distress.
“The greatest scandal ever seen,”
You blasted out at Hallowe’en,
Confessing you would be dismayed
Should Bohs and Shelbourne get replayed.
For points, you stated to the proles,
Should not be gained through rulebook holes,
But rather on the field of play,
Which you would deem the fairest way.
The Bohs result should be let stand,
Reversal would be underhand,
And it just makes your pink blood boil
That Shelbourne will not take their oil.
So, Stephen, let us break the bones
Of these glass houses, people, bones.
First, Derry had three points withdrawn
For fielding Mr Hargan, Sean,
When on the League’s suspension list,
A fact your own officials missed.
But you appealed successfully
Upon a technicality,
And lo! The three points were returned.
Your fingers thus remained unburned.
And we could really see your pity
When the League lost Dublin City.
Shels’ six points, won fair and square,
Were in a flash reduced to air,
While Derry gained a big reward
For dropping points which were restored.
And thus, upon your “field of play,”
Shels, who won more games, held sway,
But off the field, the quoted rules,
Compiled by jesters, clowns and fools,
Conspired to hand out Tolka pain,
While working well to Derry’s gain.
But did we hear a Derry howl,
Wailing long and crying foul?
No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
In 1977
**** poem.
I'd rather die laughing than trying!
What a waste of time, and if you went to all that trouble you should have at least got the facts right.
