Weather has been fine today. All systems are go.

I might attend Bohs-Linfield on Saturday, can anyone tell me, am I likely to be kept back for ages as happened outside Richmond Park last month?

Heading down to that game myself, Id say it depends what stand the Linfield fans are in, we couldnt walk down Emmet Road because the Linfield fans were coming out that way

Looking forward to playing the students in Tallaght, just hope the wind isn't too strong, completly ruins the game blowing down off the Dublin mountains. The only bad thing i would say about the stadium is its far to exposed to the elements and the pitch can't take much of a spill of rain as we found out a couple of days ago when our game with shels was called off.

They are in a reduced capacity connaught st. I would imagine itll be Linfield fans kept back, so ye should be out and away, despite how much sense away fans being kept back rather that home fans makes sometimes (especially in wicklow where every away fan could be out and away on the luas before the home fans got out, drastically reducing the risk of trouble) if not sure ye are all more than welcome to come for a pint with us while we wait!

Game of the weekend has to be on Friday in Galway - Foster going home, Connor facing his former side. I'm off to check Paddy Powers to see about odds on red card totals! Has to be at least 2!!!

No odds on that, unfortunately. Offering a red card market on a Sean Connor team would be professional suicide for a bookie! :)

The weather at present on the VERY east coast is bright, but as I look north and out on the sea, there are darker clouds looming and the wind is picking up. Apart from that, it's crisp out. :D

Things are fine here. Tis cold and a bit damp but should be a playable pitch so who cares!

Raining pretty solid here in Dublin now. Another few hours of this and most games will be off. :(

Started to pour again here just after I predicted it was starting to dry up. Oh dear. Should still be ok though as pitch doesnt seem to be holding any water.

It will be touch and go Frosty. Our game will be going ahead, but its already in a bad state. It was teaming rain this morning down here, but its dried up since.

Has anything been done during the week on the pitch? i.e. steam roller or sand or any sort of maintenance? What's the over night weather in Galway?

If it was steam rolled, I would very much doubt there would be a game on there for a few weeks after.

Update from Terryland:

The match officials are inspecting the pitch at the minute but the groundsman is confident that the match will go ahead. There was a lot of surface water on the pitch a short while ago but it has been rolled since. The only problem will be if there is a heavy fall of rain in the next hour.

Harps line up:

Liam Mailey

Doherty, Mailey, Minnock, Crossan

For those who may have missed it... Cork beat Limerick 3-1 earlier.

Game could be off in Galway...

Would not be surprised. Massive cloudburst there about 15 minutes ago.

Game off

02/04/2010, 6:51 PM

Does that give our game v Mervue a better or Worse chance?... any way of moving it to Salthill?

Sam_Heggy

02/04/2010, 6:51 PM

from extratime re Galway game : " 0' - There is a gansy load of water on the pitch and there is heavy rain so the game is currently a bit in doubt... "

Absolute joke, 3 1/2 hours to get here. Clubs need to get their acts together and get all-weather pitches.

Mervue/Waterford game in serious doubt, talking to a mate who was in Terryland, says the pitch resembles a swimming pool in places.

Going by that 1st half cant see either Pats or Fingal being realistic title challengers.

RTE analysis:

"Throughout the league there are harsh bookings, some of them well deserved"

Not great from Pats in the first half. Hoping for better...
