That is fantastic.
Ha. I couldn't put my finger on who that reminded of but that's a ringer for our dear leader alright.
That is brilliant, pity more clubs wouldnt follow corks model and actually put some money into promoting games!
how do you know they don't
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Excellent from Cork. All they need now is some loolah of a priest to denounce it and add another 500 to the gate.
Loving the Wally with the Brolly analogy.
What's this about? The pitch was awful in the first half but it was noticeably better once they hosed it at half time. If anything, the watering helped Rovers as the ball was no longer bouncing all over the place every time a long ball bounced off the pitch.
And another......
[/B][I]P.Esc.
Haven't Dundalk been watering the half they attack in since the beginning of last season?
Old news man.
Yep, they only watered the Bohs second half penalty area at half time a few weeks ago in Oriel. The groundsman got some stick from the Bohs crowd.
Water metering should sort it out for next season.
I honestly don't see how this is an issue. Surely it's up to any club to decide how their own pitch is managed. I've been at games in England where the sprinklers will come on at half time on one end of the pitch only.
Seems to me that Croly has been taking lessons from Roddy on how to deflect attention from your own teams performance. I don't know why he was bothered anyway as Rovers kept the ball in the air for the whole game.
FFS - it's a groundsman using a garden hose - how much impact does anyone seriously think that has on a 3G pitch over a ten minute period?
Its about as effective as an ashtray on a motorbike
If it winds Croly and the Rovers ensemble up to that extent, then I hope it continues on Friday night (along with more Queen songs for when Pats visit next)
Its quite possible that was the objective. If so, mission accomplished.
This was on our forum earlier;
Pitch Watering System
Rule 14.02. The Pitch Watering schedule must be communicated by the home Club at the matchday organisational meeting. The pitch must be watered evenly and not only in certain areas. As a general rule pitch watering must cease 60 minutes before kickoff. However pitch watering may also take place after that time if the referee and both clubs agree, and provided it takes place
a) Between 10 and 5 minutes before kickoff
b) During halftime (for a maximum of 5 minutes)
c) The referee is entitled to request changes to the schedule
I'd say they were watering it to make it play faster and more consistently, which makes far more sense.
Do Dundalk bring a few watering cans with them for the away games, for some sly selective pitch watering, seeing as the away form is better than the home form?
