As someone else pointed out, the FAI are going out of their way to help you out of this hole you've dug for yourselves. A luxury not afforded Limerick FC.

You're wrong there..

The FAI are not going out of there way.

TCC is not the problem, even Ollie could get that!!

Anyway, I'm getting the picture from here...
Thats all I wanted, thanks

I know there are not people queuing up to run eL clubs but maybe they should require a licence too.

Ollie Byrne & fools like Seery should be banned from eL involvement for 10 years. Instead the FAI actually wished Seery well after his idiocy.

As usual once the details start to filter out eL fans opinions change... Kick Shels out, keepo wateford in the 1st division & hey presto got new 10 team league ahead of schedule.

Wind your neck in son - I suppose that's a case of "I'm not playing anymore", and off you go home taking your ball with you...

This type of thing is old news to all of us but it can never be said too often:

Wonder if he included this quote in the presentation to all media on how great he is.

Higgins you are deluded!

You have been given a first division license when you don't comply with the requirements and the "conditions" are that you have been given a grace period to get into compliance.

By all rights you should have been thrown out of the League (a la Limerick) as evidenced by the resignation of the Chairman of the First Instance Committee.

Your club is and has been treated unbelieveably leniently and yet you seem to have some kind of persecution complex.

Does Irish football owe you a favour or something?!?!

Mindblowing.

Don't you know ORA - he supports Shelbourne - a club which apparently - is bigger than the whole league put together.

Ergo - they get the special treatment no-one else gets - think of it as the relationship that Bolsheviks had with the Kulaks

That's a very serious point and one that should be addressed post haste. Even the English FA have a (half-hearted) system of making sure directors and owners are fit to own clubs or serve as directors.

Tony Maguire, Ronan Seery, Ollie Byrne, Finbar Flood, Alan Duncan, Louis Kilcoyne etc should never ever be allowed to be involved in Irish football again. But in this country we reward (Kilcoyne) or praise (Seery) these shysters.

Hmmmm, reminds me of something that happened a few months back. As I was exiting Tolka after our 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Shels, the week after Dublin City's demise, one of their fans tapped me on the shoulder and said "Dublin City, hahaha, UCD, you're next, bang bang" with a smoking gun hand gesture.

3 disableds (a blind man, an amputee, and a wheelchair-guy) are stranded in the middle of the Sahara Desert and waiting for someone to rescue them. They start to get thirsty, so they decide to seek out water. The amputee leads the way, with the blind man pushing the guy in the wheelchair; and, eventually they find an oasis. The amputee goes into the water first, cools himself down, drinks a load of water, walks out the other side and lo and behold, he has a NEW LEG! He gets excited and encourages his friends to do the same. The blind man offers to push the guy in the wheelchair, but he gets refused because the guy in the chair wants to be Mr Independent and insists the blind man goes ahead first. So he goes into the water, cools himself down, drinks a load of water, walks out the other side and lo and behold, he can SEE! Now the guy in the wheelchair's getting really excited, starts pushing with all his might, goes into the water, cools himself down, drinks a load of water, and wheels out the other side. Lo and behold, NEW TYRES!!!

Heard a rumour that Permanent TSB will be the next sponsors of Shels. A statement from the embattled football club cited the banks policy of applying no transfer fees, no late payment fees, no overdraft fees and no withdrawal fees as the main reason for their decision to accept the deal.
