Looking forward to reading it. I reckon the pitch invasion thing comes from a quote in the Leader from Michael Webb (then Chairman).Originally Posted by Voice of Reason
It reads "Despite the heavy loss certain to be sustained, the chairman defended their action in taking the match to Lansdowne Road. "Had the game followed a similar pattern at Thomond Park i.e. Johnny Matthews having a gola disallowed and some dubious decisions by the officials, there would almost certainly have been an invasion of the pitch and this could have resulted in us being fined heavily by EUFA (sic) as well as being banned from future competitions" he declared".
Seems a bit of post-rationalisation to me. The motive was to earn money and it backfired. Unless Mr Wenn foresaw that we were going to get robbed. In the following paragraph he says that if Limerick qualify again they will play in Limerick. Hardly concerned about invasions then.
Well done, Ox. More profile for the Blues.
