    Large can of worms that I can't see the FAI wanting to open ...
    A few words come to mind:

    Knickers, bare, and arse.
    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

    The Old League that they won in effect Doesn't exist anymore.

    uefa.com are reporting that derry city will "most likely" take their place in the cl... makes no mention of shels being allowed to partake in it... seems to indicate derry will at least get the biggest benefit of winning the league... i.e a crack at the cl
    arent we all just magic little monkeys...

    Juve and Milan were deducted points from last season aswell, Juve were deducted all of their points last season, therefore, putting them in a relegation position, Milan were docked points also, leaving Inter at the top of the table.

    So does this mean that they remain to be punished or is it that their off-the-field abuses were entirely permissable under the 2006 rules?

    Is anyone aware of the relevent rules? I'd find it shocking if the antics of Ollie Byrne were legitimate under the 2006 season's rules.

    Sorry I didn't word that too well, I meant Juve relegated and Milan deducted points last year.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Yes, how else could have Inter won the title, and why did 3rd bottom end up staying in Serie A.

    Shelbourne won the title with a License last yr.

    They were champions, end of story.

    Should we go back in history and look at the books of ever league Championship teams as far as possible and start redistributing medals?

    They do not have a Premier License this year, so they play 1st Division football.

    If their current license does not meet UEFA standards then someone would replace them. The Champions League representative is put forward by the league. They have full powers to put another team into that competition.

    They also had a licence up until last night for this seasons league, does that not make you wonder what went on in the last 5 seasons?

    People forget unless derry won the league by 4 points last season we would probably be still in court now and some players would not have been paid even longer as the court case would ahve cost a few.

    Although that would be unfeasible, it would be the fair and just thing to do if concerns were raised as to the legitimacy of winning of the title. Going back to the most recent season ought to be convenient enough, however.

    Just because Shelbourne had a licence, doesn't mean that they acted rightfully throughout the whole season, nor does it mean that they should remain immune from punishment if they did in fact break certain off-the-field rules.

    What I'm not sure of is if they did actually break rules. For example, was failing to pay players for weeks on end permissable under the 2006 rules? Are the 2007 rules any different?

    I'm up for that Breifne. Alternatively, what we could do is have it in turns of 6 months each - an FAI solution to an FAI problem.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
