Going back to Cork, they may have somehow come up with the money to pay the revenue, based on what they expect to make from the Celtic game, but they still owe so much.. First of all wages, Joe Gamble has today said that he only got 20% of a months wages to pay for the last six weeks. They still owe Alan Mathews for sacking him and they also still owe Gareth Farrelly some from his court case... I really cant see where they are going to come up with the money..

Its also not fair on the likes of UCD who were relegated last season when they kept their house in order but Cork stay up despite living way neyopnd their means!

Also pity we didnt get St Pats in he Europa, we were just one draw away! A mate of mine said he'd disown me if I supported Villa for the game in Inchicore.

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.

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.

all the clubs should follow the rovers model, they are the best run club in the league now. i have a few friends who are big rovers fans and they say that the 100 club (think thats wat they are called) is a great idea. everyone involved giving their own input to the club.... has clearly worked welll and now they are on course to win the league this year, 4 clear of bohs

without a national league you arent allowed to have an international football team by fifa regulations

Incorrect.

Liechtenstein does not have a league at all (one club participates in the Swiss leagues) but enters World Cup qualifying every year.

Canada also arguably doesn't have a national league (Canadian professional clubs compete in the US leagues), though it does have some local amateur leagues.
