LOI fixtures 24th Feb 2017

[oriel]

Its looks rich green Vinnie and unlike last years terrible quality, it almost has the appearance of freshly cut grass!

They've left it late though, but the work guys have been tidying it up last few days, I think Dundalk have their first training session tonight or early tomorrow am.

[PartySaint]

How can it be better than the old one? Dundalk fans have been telling us for years that the Oriel pitch is perfect

[Longfordian]

Not looking good for the game in Finn Park tomorrow unless that new drainage system is really really good

Is that not an old photo?

[MattB11]

Yeah that photo is from December 2015

[placid casual]

And to think some people regard the LOI as a disorganised mess...

How's Markets' Field doing with all this wet rain?

Bull****! You know quite well, Dundalk fans have known our pitch was terrible for the past few seasons!

Can't see there being any hassle with the pitch. It would want to get extremely bad to cause it to be off. The state it's in after the game is a different story.

From what I am told they were actually hoping for the rain,maybe not as much as we got but still won't do any harm at all to it.

That new surface looks great. Far more attractive than the previous one anyway.

It does look good. Let's hope it plays well, that is the important thing.

As good an advertisement Dundalk football has been for the league, how Oriel looked on TV was a big put off to neutrals/sceptics.

[Longfordian]

Psst...any crisps or minerals yet?

I'm after a few beers, but that looks grand, right?

[Sam_Heggy]

Yeah, forecast for more rain tomorrow but not the same volume as we've had. If the pitch is playable tonight then I don't see any issues tomorrow.
Previous years I'd say the game would 100% be off after the amount of rain we've had up here since Monday.

[De Town]

Bookies put odds where the money will go. They don't reflect what is actually most likely to happen.
Your opinion above is very wrong and bad.

Pitch in perfect condition no fear of that surface :)

Harps lads whats the weather like above? Inspection again at 4pm seems a bit odd if its already passed the early one?

It's to get inside Caulfield head you see.

[Mr A]

Weather is OK in Ballybofey, light drizzle just. Weather forecasts are positive. https://www.yr.no/place/Ireland/Ulster/Ballybofey/hour_by_hour.html

Anyone know if the webcam streaming that was put in last year is still going for this year? If so where was the best place to watch games?

[patrickccfc]

Athlone vs Waterford delayed until 8pm. Someone had to rush to pay the electricity bill

[Keen2win]

Any stream for the Dundalk game?

The game in Athlone still hasn't started. 8:30 the latest it can start apparently

Have to say I was interested to see how lim's would started given their easy run last season - guess I got my answer already !

[SeanDrog]

Lims 3-0 Sligo

[SeanDrog]

Ucd up one
Dundalk also up one

[pineapple stu]

Underway in Athlone. Have to imagine it'll be a long, Kilkenny-esque season for them. And already looking like another FAI farce to grant them a licence

[Jofspring]

By the sounds of it we are playing lovely football and a big crowd in.

[pineapple stu]

Power for UCD. He'll be a serious player. Worth keeping an eye on

[SeanDrog]

Bohs 0-2 Derry

[CraftyToePoke]

By the sounds of it we are playing lovely football and a big crowd in.

Yes, but listening to the 95fm lads, Sligo have a long tough season ahead and look like they could be fitter too.

[SeanDrog]

Harps 0-1 cork

[da bishop]

Yes, but listening to the 95fm lads, Sligo have a long tough season ahead and look like they could be fitter too.

[SeanDrog]
