Farrelly and Healy Hearings Rejected by FIFA

[Mr A]

...according to EL weekly!

[adamcarr]

Both had their appeals to FIFA rejected tonight. What an absolute joke! The Mascherano case was cited by CCFC in the appeal, he was obviously on a lucrative deal with West Ham but got his move while both Healy & Farrelly were unemployed when we signed them. The 3 club rule is a joke and breaks EU legislation and if the FAI have any balls they will pardon CCFC to play the two players! What a shambles!

With the benefit of hindsight should you have let the FAI argue your case rather than take it on yourself?

Whys should the FAI pardon you when they took other players cases to UEFA for decision and those players got cleared?

Also, the restriction of trade is only alleged, someone has to take it to the European Court to prove it( a la Bosman). Are your pockets that deep?

Cork knew this when they got the players, no need to blame FIFA.

Sure FIFA are angewls, Healy for example is supposedl on a pay-per-play deal with a small basic package and a large amount for every appearance, FIFA are blocking him from taking in a proper full time income. Whereas Mascherano was probably on Stg50,000+ a week at West Ham but wasn't getting a game so FIFA pardoned him. They are hypocrites and a complete bunch of muppets!

TheBoss, come off the stage man.

[harpskid]

Cork are the muppets for taking the case on themselves. Why not let the FAI fight your corner from day one?

[TheBoss]

TheBoss, come off the stage man.

Too steep to come down

FIFA made an exception for all the other players when it seemed more logical that Cork had more of a reason for their players, plus they made an exception for Mascherano which was similar to their cases. Cork have every reason to feel angered and shafted.

[Dyl10]

I don't really care if specifically Cork got the players or not, IMO the bigger problem lies in the fact that the league is losing two quality players

[Dodge]

Looks to me like Cork fecked up. The FAI handled the case for the other 9 players (all cleared) but Cork went alone.

Anyone know why?

[Mr A]

Was Hynes cleared for Derry?

[Risteard]

RRS.
Probably because City had already started a week or so beforehand.
Not fully sure what kind of cooperation there was between City and FAI.

[Risteard]

Rock Solid.
My ass is hurting me like.
Shafted real hard.

Cork City- ridden rock solid by Zurich.

[GavinZac]

Possible scenarios now:
a) Nothing happens. We wait until July, having paid the players for 5 months to do nothing, georgie style.
b) city terminate one or other or both of their contracts due to contractual frustration.
c) healy or farrelly take the case to the EU, like jon bosman.
d) the fai grow a pair and get this sorted.

Dunno could it have been that the cases the FAI were handling were all players who were playing within this country as opposed to our 2 who played in the UK, maybe a different tact was required?

Sick to my stomach either way.
Roy was right.

[charliesboots]

There must be a right of a appeal. Court of Arbitration for Sport?

Hilariously funny though.

[BohsPartisan]

Farrelly will be delighted, he gets paid for nothing.

[GuisaSaigon]

It's a disgrace, the FAI have to get involved and put pressure on FIFA. One rule for rich clubs another for Irish clubs, Cork really are being ridden rock solid.
