    Does this years license not include handing up monthly accounts? Why are the FAI waiting 'til March to take action?

    It's not like the FAI to ignore a problem in the hope that it fixes itself.

    Thats actually true
    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.

    Ultimately a parent association can withdraw permission for one of it's clubs to enter Europe. After all the FAI are the agents of the UEFA in these matters. I remember in the mid 1980's when the top two teams in Bulgaria , CSKA Sofia and Levski Sofia ended up in the Cup Final. There was a riot involving players, club officials and fans. Both clubs were dissolved. The European Champions Cup slot went to the third placed Club. Trakia Plovdiv who were also awarded the League title. It remains their only domestic triumph.

    As far as I know College, Trakia was the communist era name for Botev Plovdiv who did incidentally previously won the Bulgarian League in 1967 (their only championship to date) The 1985 Championship was later awarded to Levski so it is attributed to them and not Botev.

    So in a roundabout way, what you're saying is that if we bring in Communism to Ireland, we can get Shels turfed out of the Champions League? Let the revolution commence so...

    Are you mad? You'd never get any work out of him. No we'l send him to the knackers yard and render his fat to make soap.

    He'd have to have a show trial first, it'd only be fair to indulge his love of going to court.
    A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes for his friends.

    I don't think gulags were intended to make people work. Just to get them out of the way.

    Do you think Ollie would see the irony in having a lit cigarette stubbed out on a sensitive part of his body?

    For the record - yes it is.

    Each individual FA determines who they will have representing them in European competition, and how those clubs will be selected/nominated. Hence there is a degree of variation between nations on a going basis, and on specific occassions there are huge differences (e.g. the example of Zaragosa losing a Euro slot to let Real in).

    That's why the Welsh FA was able to publically declare that they would never again nominate the exile teams playing within the English system to represent them in Europe (though to make doubly sure, they also rig the timing of the Welsh Cup to stop them playing in it anyway... )

    A lot of military hardware was produced in the Gulags.
