Seven clubs receive licenses but many clubs struggling to get theirs!

Disturbing news.

This is what it says on Aertel

EIRCOM LEAGUE CLUBS WIN LICENCES
Ten of the 22 eircom League clubs have
confirmed that they have recieved
Premier Licences for the 2005 season.

Shelbourne, Cork City, Drogheda United,
Bray, Derry City, St Patrick's, Galway,
Athlone Town, Waterford Utd and Finn
Harps have all confirmed that they have
been successful in their bids.

The licences were granted on appeal
following the initial rejection of all
22 Clubs' applications in January.

However, there are rumours circulating
that several clubs, including one
Premier League outfit are struggling to
win their appeals.

Congrats where it's due. This is a big step up from last season. Longford could be in trouble though. Ditto for Dublin City.

Nice one on the license to everyone concerned. One step closer to pulling back the three steps lost with the Can't Pass signing

I seem to remember the Three Stooges saying pretty much the same thing when he signed last year, and that all went Marco Boogers on them didn't it? But we will see I suppose!

Just like last season is it? Oh he banged in the goals then alright. The only people calling him God are you, his old lady and the boy himself.

The fact is that based on last seasons performances Can't Pass O'Brien was not a good signing. He has everything to prove. I hope he proves us all wrong and scores 25 or 30 goals but I'll be very surprised if he does (albeit pleasantly surprised). His work ethic and teamwork were both shocking last year, I've never questioned his ability at all, just his motivation.

Great news about the licence. It calls for a bit of optimism.
I hope you're right about CP willie john. The God and kissing ass bit might be a bit much. The goals will do.

Congratulations to the new consortium and they deserve it. It is nice to see that the club is being managed incredibly well in comparison to the previous management and it is such great news to learn here in Barcelona.
