The Board of Management of the Football Association of Ireland today (November 7) took the decision to terminate Derry City Football Club’s contract to participate in the League of Ireland. The decision to terminate is based on the failure of Derry City FC to comply with the terms and conditions of the Participation Agreement, in particular their breach of clauses 8.2, 8.3.1, 8.3.4, 8.3.5 and 8.3.6 of that contract. The Board of Management of the FAI reached its decision following statements from FAI personnel that Derry City FC had admitted to them at a meeting of November 4 (held at the request of Derry City FC), to holding second unofficial contracts with its players. There is contractual evidence to substantiate this. Subject to the ongoing cooperation of Derry City Football Club being forthcoming, the Board has agreed that an FAI delegation will, in the coming week, meet with Derry City FC and the various other stakeholders to consider how Derry City Football Club may participate in senior football in the League of Ireland next season, at some level other than in the Premier Division. This of course will be subject to the normal licensing process. The forthcoming Setanta Sports Cup match on November 10 involving Derry City FC has now been postponed, pending discussions with the Irish Football Association, through the Setanta Sports Cup Committee. On the basis of today’s decision Drogheda United will now play Bray Wanderers in the Premier Division play-off on Tuesday, November 10.

Representatives of the Board at Derry City Football Club to include Pat McDaid Chairman, Joe W Doherty Club Secretary with Club Solicitor Desmond Doherty attended a hearing today of the FAI Board. We have previously requested the hearing be adjourned and formally objected to the hearing before it got under way. Both applications were rejected. At the conclusion of the hearing we were presented with a 6 point decision after being kept waiting in a room for over 2 hours without explanation. We were told by the FAI we have no appeal against the decision made, We were refused sight of any documentation in advance of the hearing and during the hearing. The only document produced was incomplete and was provided to us at the end of the hearing with the decision. The hearing was oppressive and in our view was like a witch hunt. The said decision was already predetermined and in our view a hidden agenda exists within the FAI in relation to Derry City Football Club as demonstrated by their behaviour today. The decision today has devastating consequences for this Club but we intend to address these consequences urgently. We are currently exploring any possibility of any type of appeal procedure within the FAI or via a court of law in Dublin or Belfast. We have not been presented with any evidence of any wrong doing on behalf of the Club or any one, or any organisation associated with the Club. It is our respectful view that the Board of the FAI should be ashamed of themselves in presiding over a completely unfair process which shows a complete lack of respect to us, our players, manager, staff, club volunteers and fans. The FAI refused to supply us with the monies we are legally and legitimately due as a result of finishing 4th in the Premier League. The FAI have also said they are considering what to do in relation to the monies we are due and owed in relation to our participation in European Soccer this season.

derry city ...........GONE

As a young lad I took part in this thing called the Gaisce Awards it involved various things but one was to take up some sort of recreation for a few weeks so I went for karate.....and my partner many many times was Una healy (the saturdays) I had to hold her feet while she was doing sits ups and she mine etc etc she packs a fair punch I can tell you that

BOOM cork city if fooked http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2009/0727/corkcity.html One less team in a tiny league

Just to pick up on a thread by some drogheda fellow...and the financial plight of these clubs. Now for drogheda to go from playing euro football of types to now been a part-time cap in hand club is bad to see but it feels like its just the way things have gone and the way things will stay. Its ok for fans to be going all out to save these clubs but how are they going to attract new fans? my family couldn’t tell you who plays for lets say shelbourne but they can name the team sheet for Byern Munich Anyway is the fooball/soccer scene in Ireland destined to go back to an ameture game? Should the whole thing just be wound up? and if not how is it going to survive?

YEah barton sorry about that,ment to say Ireland

This is duely noted sir........And I like that polish vodka sebrovka or what ever but I will let you know when U buy it for me
