But they do, didn't I just explain it to you above? Believe me, you don't know the half of it, and neither do I to be honest. I know that there is more than one interested party, but it gets complicated after that and I'm not saying anymore. Things are happening though, and a deal may even have already been struck.....

Maybe because he's a head case and doesn't have a clue what he's doing? Because the club is going nowhere with him at the helm? As I said, read the threads in the Limerick forum.....

Did anyone else notice that this poll was mentioned in Mark Gallagher's article on the back page of the Title in the Mail on Sunday?

Well maybe the poll should read "Are the FAI treating Danny Drew and Ollie Byrne equally.

Its not rovers future thats keeping the fai on side its rovers past. The situation is a joke. Shels are clearly breaking numerous uefa regulations yet have still obtained a premier licence.

So rovers are only in te premier becasue of our past... utter tosh

The well told strory is again apt here. THIS shamrock rovers is 18 months old. Has ousted corrupt managment, boards and greedy players, has taken our medicine and relegation, has regrouped, rebuilt and played its way back, a mid table finish in div 1 this season and we woudl be still there. We WON the division in style. We have oneof the best under age systems in the entire league, tie ups form u8 to college level and LSL sides. The only thing holding back THIS Rovers is Talaght. Everyone, icluding the FAI can see the fantastic future Rovers have once Tallght is complete, even teh GAA can see that and they are running scared.

So you're willing to hand back the on-field points gained in the seasons before then

Would Shamrock qualify for the new league without the results gained by the old corrupt board?

BTW, not having a go at SRFC specifically (well not much

) but to me it shows again the stupidity of excluding Dundalk for poor results during the same time period when the IAG ranked them above several Premier clubs.

As much as I would love Shels to be bashed over the head with a big stick, I don't think Shels have broke any of the rules in place where Limerick have.

Until Shels get that little bit worse or the FAI add in some new rules then Shels can get away with winding up orders and the late wage payments to players.
