Bert: Are Derry City (ireland) banned from europe?
Author: tallaght
Date: 08-10-2011, 14:03 		In 2009 Derry were kicked out of the league due to having second contracts for players.

They were later 'invited back' by the Football association of ireland to compete in the first division.

I believe this warrents a 3 year ban but there has been nothing said in the papers, media etc as to whether they are banned.

The catch is that when they rejoined the league, it basically meant they were a 'new team'. Would this count as a loop hole to avoid the ban?

Thanks
