that'd be sweet if it wasn't in the sun
According to today's Sun Sligo Rovers and St. Pat's have been asked to apply for a European Licence in case Shels go bust and cannot play in Champions League. Appearently they want us to apply and be on 'stand by' in case "any other club runs into difficulty". Who knows, Seanie might have lead us into europe yet.

Snobby or what! At least the sun write about Irish soccer!!
Pats are the first choice if everything at Shels goes pear shaped.
shouldnt be the case...we finished above them, we should look for a licence......fast!
Why Not Just Have A Play Off Between Pats And Us For It Then Let Pats Take The Place
that would be class

Nothing to do with anything.
What happens is that Shels get kicked out (I'm assuming that's the basis for the story) and Derry, as next in the league, get invited into the CL. For European qualification purposes, they'd be deemed to have done the double, quailfying for the UEFA and the CL. In this case, they accept the CL spot (presumably), and the Cup runners-up take the Cup winner's spot - i.e. Pat's take Derry's spot in the UEFA.
Don't know why Sligo are being mentioned, to be honest. The next in line would be Cork, then Sligo.
thanks for ruining everything lol
what about the setanta cup?
do cork not have an intertoto spot?
we are everybit as entitled to as pats..
shels wont lose their title so derry wont go in 2 it as champions...
they'll be promoted to the champions league but they wont have won the league
therefore.. the place is ours is it not?

Welcome!
If it's any consolation, we're next behind you, so it's even worse for us!!
(Though we do have the Fair Play to fall back on as well...)
SligoBrewer -
You're right about Cork, actually - apologies. However, they'd still get the InterToto as extra place is going to the Cup, not the league. Sligo could well get the Setanta though - you have to win the Cup to get into the Setanta, and licencing does apply for it as well.

Hopefully Pat's will fail to get a european licence(with their ****ty ground) and then we get it instead![]()
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
