Bohs v Shels

[bohs til i die]

To be re-played.

[Réiteoir]

Farcical that is

Absolutely farcical

May as well hand the title to the slobbering fatarse now

Once again the League are shown up to be the bunch of jokers that they are

Just to get this right, this was not a league decision. It was a decision by the FAI, remember them, they are taking over next year. Delaney and that reached this decision and the blame lies at their door.

[Dee75]

So Bohs now get the chance to get there three points back and if they do they get NO punishment for playing an McGuinness

FARCE

C.mon BOHS beat them again with McGuinness to score a last minute winner!!!

[Réiteoir]

Ah - now it becomes clear

The old pals act is being enforced

DELANEY - rot off you absolute pudding bowl haricut sporting cretin

[CharlesThompson]

I also think that Rovers should play Dundalk again. Dublin City should be reinstated and John Delaney made president of Ireland and the eircom League trophy to be renamed the Oily Byrne Perpetualistic Tolka Park Trophy!

Joke!

[lofty9]

Is this official? This was the one scenario that I honestly couldn't have agreed with, as Bohs now have the opportunity to get their points back. Not that I don't want Bohs to get them back! What was the point of deducting them 3 points. However, this is a farce beyond belief. Time for Dundalk now to annoy the FAI. It's hardly likely Bohemians will appeal this ?

Surely this a logical follow on from this decision.

A replay is a ridiculous decision.

Either the original decision should have stood or Shels got the 3 points.

[Dodge]

Still at least it'll be alright next year when the little clubs are gone...

Disgusting decision. How can they fine Scully €5k and let the criminal away with dragging the league through the ****s time and time again

This is the straw that broke the camel's back as far as I'm concerned. As chippie points out it's the new boss (same as the old boss) that has decided this. The same bunch of incompetents that awarded Deceased FC a licence and then turned around and said that a club folding mid-season would never happen again under the new regime.

It's time for the progressive clubs to seriously think about a breakaway league. This current mess cannot continue. Rovers, Bohs, Galway, Derry, Cork, Sligo, Harps and a few others have their houses in order. The Dundalks, Limericks, Longfords and Shels of this world can carry on as they are and the rest of us can start to clean up our game.

The time for action is now - and I don't mean a poxy NLSA meeting or press release.

[micls]

Sickening....does this mean the Rovers dundalk game will be replayed as well so??

Hope Bohs hammer them

[NY Hoop]

Beyond belief if true. Just shows that whatever the criminal wants he gets. Bullyboy intimidatory tactics again show the FAI for what they are: a joke.

The original decision should have stood.

[harps1954]

This is an absolute disgrace, if it is true. How many times have Shels won the League in the last ten years? How many times have Shels won the League ON THE PITCH in the last ten years?

It'll be a hollow victory if they now go on and won the League. Shelbourne FC, Ollie Byrne and the three man committee at the FAI who made this decision - you are all a disgrace to Irish football.

I feel really, really sorry for Derry City today. All the hard work that they put in on the pitch this season will be undone in the boardroom at Merrion Square. Derry City and St. Patrick's Athletic - two clubs stabbed in the back by Ollie Byrne and the FAI in the last few years.

Can't believe this decision.

Agree with you 100% BUT all those clubs signed up THIS YEAR and they ****ing knew what they were getting into it. Spineless bunch of ****ing wimps.

[Calcio Jack]

I don't it is... whilst Rovers did appeal and took their case to arbitration... Dundalk did not make any effort at any stage to look for a replay... would be totally opportunistic of them to do so now .... also if the FAI did grant a replay then surely Rovers would be entitled to get the non-refundable €5k that arbitration cost them returned.

The problem that this decision now causes is that there is no consistency involved in the decisions given out by the FAI, to follow the logic of it surely Derry should also have to replay the 3 games for which they fielded a suspended player !!

Question for Bohs fans - Are you happy with the outcome, or does your hate for Shels/Ollie outweigh that?

WAR - I think you may be right

This is the final straw as you said - I spent many Friday and Saturday nights defending Bohs and the League against the comments and other stuff thrown at me (mostly in humour may I add) by my English mates (crap league, no-one watches it, pub league, poor football, etc.)

I will from now on not bother to defend our League - this has just sealed the deal

OUR LEAGUE IS A STANDING JOKE - NO BETTER THAN THE LINCOLNSHIRE AND DISTRICT PUB LEAGUE SUNDAY DIVISION 4

Official. Just confirmed by a Derry City director on DerryCityChat.com

Derry City are seeking legal advice before commenting

I've been saying this for a while. The FAI are beyond repair, an absolute joke.
A new league would be a golden opportunity for the progressive teams both sides of the border to breakaway and form a propper all-ireland league - without Delaney and Oily! Time for the $h€ll$ to Sea campaign!

I dont really care to be honest.

Ive never been so dis-illusioned with the league as I am now. Seriously trhinking about whether I could be bothered anymore.
