********! We have some actual real opposition now!

Good news for Irish football. Would have been embarassing to see them there.

Shels must be in dire straits if they pulling out of that as guaranteed cash just for competing.

Was looking forward to beating Shels live on tv again at the cross. Pats just doesn't have the same appeal & crowd will be smaller...

No you shouldn't. Derry take the champions place leaving the cup winners place to Pats. Thats how it works!

Very sad to see the demise of Shelbourne. I appreciate that you will all know a lot more of the ins and outs of this one than I do and may not feel the same sympathy towrds them but they were a team that I always enjoyed watching when they were on TV and their CL run a few seasons ago was certainly memorable. Feel really sorry for the Shelbourne supporters. I sincerely hope things can be sorted out.

Infairness we've got a half decent squad this season. In comparison to the current Shels squad we're world class!!

Well in fairness, so are Monaghan Utd

**p�l-dcfc** · 30/01/2007, 5:24 PM

Obviously the same applies for Setanta though.

No it doesn't. Setanta is strictly both cup winners and the top two in the league. If there is a team that does both (as Derry did - twice) then it goes down the league - this is how Drogs and Cork qualified. For Europe Pats will get the UEFA if Shels don't play in the CL.
For Setanta it should be Sligo.

Mind you Bohs have been so far away in recent times its a reasonable mistake to make

you have to win the cup..

and given tv3's knowledge on eL.

**Soper** · 30/01/2007, 5:29 PM

This was brought up before, the rules state that Sligo Rovers should get the Setanta place.

Ah well

**Mr A** · 30/01/2007, 5:36 PM

I am stunned Shels will not field in this competition. It's worth a lot of money to them- why not just field an U18 side, take the beatings and the money and use it to build for the league?
