Read a bit on the other forum with someone mentioning this, is it going to be the case for all the remaining home games? Friday nights are a bad night imo.

ah ****e. Friday nights IMO, too much of a rush to get back home from Dublin. If i wanted to catch a game while i come over from London, ive to take an extra day off work, not convenient really. Not sure its gonna work.

I'm not that opposed to Friday night, with an 8pm kick off. With the motorway finished it is now realistic to get down from Dublin, and with this summer football nonsense makes sense not to be going head to head with the gah. It could be coming from the club promotions officer, in which case he should be given his head to make a go of it and do what he's paid for.

However, if games are to be switched there has to be a proper reasoning and a target to be achieved so it can be judged as a success or a failure. It should also be stated as the day and time well in advance.

I actually raised Friday night football during the close season, and iirc the reason why it couldn't even be considered was because the players would be due more money. Has this changed?

So basically, I'm not opposed to it, but it has to be introduced in a proper way, rather than what seems to be game to game on an ad hoc basis.

A bird that doesn't understand a man's need to watch the football, will never understand man. Or something like that. I'm safe so! You can all turn the attention to Marty's mot!

My Mrs. used to come to Dalyer with me on a regular basis when we were first going out. Rarely goes now, though she's coming to Cork with me on Friday but thats more for a weekend away than anything.

That was a shambles on friday night. An embarassment to say the least. We were rubbish against a useless Bray outfit the week before too. I see no reason to be optimistic with this current crop of players. The future looks very bleak. Neither the ability or desire is evident from what i've seen this season and if this continues division 1 beckons.

Serious improvement needed for the visit of Derry on Saturday. We're facing a dogfight even at this early stage.

Sher we knew that when the season began. You would want to get off your high horse dillo. The players for me have shown balls this season the main problem is tht we have two wing back playing as centre backs through no fault of their own. With a full team available only brennan would be out of position and having seen waterford galway bray and ucd i see plenty of optimism. It was a beating pure and simple but realistically all we could have gotten with that defence was a draw at best. Relegation is a dogfight which needs everyone keepin their heads players fans and management i suggest you follow suit!!
