Wexfords Youths v Limerick 37 Abandoned

[Jofspring]

Match abandoned due to power failure.

Anybody know what happens now?? Replay/call it a draw/travel all the way to wexford again to play the reamaining time...... wasn't long left in the match and it was 1-1.

[pineapple stu]

Any precedent for this, does anyone recall? Pretty sure there must be an incident there somewhere.

[Schumi]

What time did the floodlight 'fail' in Tolka earlier this year? That game is to be replayed.

[pineapple stu]

Around the hour.

[jebus]

doesn't matter how long was left the match has to be replayed as far as I know. Either team could argue that they could have netted a winner in the minutes that were left

ya i'd say your right there but knowing the FAI, god only knows what will happen :rolleyes:

[Needtoknow]

We should be awarded the win by FAI licencing agreement you must have back up generators in place. 2-0 win to L37. :eek:;)

i'd most certainly take that.. ha ha ;)

[Thunder-WYFC]

Was a good game,eh set pieces were our downfall yet again,thaught on the overall balance of play we were the better side but I'm looking foward to the replayed game!

[Jofspring]

looking forward to the "replay" myself as 3 points are vital. a draw tonight would have been bad for limerick. at least they possibly get another shot at it :D

[Thunder-WYFC]

Jese your man Mcgee got a hard time from us tonight,haha

[gspain]

The lights did not fail. They were never on. 15 minutes to go or so when it was stoppered. Ref had no option. It was quite dark. We were pressing hard for a winner so a replay is the only option.

No floodlit failure so, they didnt have floodlights and went ahead with an evening game, propper outcome 2 0 win for the blues and three points, prob outcome a small fine for Wexford and a replay

[L37Ultra]

Just back from wexford. "Ski" told us the ref said it would have to be replayed. The floodlights never failed as they didnt even come on. I think Wallace has done a runner :D

[Monkfish]

Iv seen it all now!
Those lights were never on in the first place, in fact im very surprised the game made it past the 50 min mark because of poor light. To be honest it was a fairly even if scrappy(ish) game but I thought Wexford looked more likely to score after they scored. Conditions were great can you believe:eek: and the pitch looked perfect.
Another point id like to make is what would happen if this had happend in Jackman Park? can you imagine the outcry from our own shower of whingers!
Also E5 for a pin badge and E4 for a programme certainly wouldnt go down too well with them.

[declan hide]

what was our team?

[gspain]

Ryan, Keady, Purcell, finicane, Buckley,
Cosgrove, Molan, Barrett, Waters, Colbert, Kelleher.

Subs hayes for Waters (injured), Tierney and McCarthy for Colbert and Kelleher.

thought we were supposed to be missing some players for work purposes. was moran on the bench or was he one of these players missing for work? ....... that was a good starting 11. should beat wexford second time around i think.

[joeSoap]

Heard we were caught pretty badly tactically for their equaliser. Chucka was apparently moved to play as a left sided midfielder when Blondie went off, and no cover for left full was put in place. Apparently their guy got a free header.

All this from the Wexford People by the way before anyone starts shouting....

Has to be a fine on the way to wexford for what seems like chancing there arm that there would be enough daylight to finish the game. I wonder if the ref had been notified before kick off that the lights weren't working??

If true lets just hope Mcgee has learned from this mistake.

[joeSoap]

I just spoke to a mate of mine in the FAI and he's 95% sure that it will have to be replayed.

And when were the FAI 100% sure of anything.:rolleyes:

My mother has to take all the blame. First time she was ever in the place and the lights wouldn't work :eek:. Apparently she may have to ban herself from going to games as she was getting too into it and was swearing at player, ref, etc...

Anyway sorry to hear about the whole situation, bit of a farce, Wallace goes away for a week and forgets to tell anyone how to turn the lights on :D.

Heard Wexford were definitely looking the more likely side to get a winner though so maybe a blessing in disguise for you guys.

Anything less than a replay will be a joke. giving limerick the points to avoid the hassle of having to travel again would be nice though ;) :D

Definately a blessing in disguise.....i think limerick will take advantage of this and beat wexford next time around. Its the kind of luck limerick need at this stage of the season.

[manalishi]

Wexford should loose home advantage.They failed to provide the facilities to hold the game????

No your spot on. When Waters went off, Buckley pushed forward as if he was playing as a wing-back. Wexford played with 10 sometimes 11 men behind the ball for the second half and it was a counter attack goal, long ball over Purcells head and to be honest I dunno what Dave Ryan was doing cause the ball just rolled in.. He seemed very flat footed for their goal. The ref said the game will be replayed sometime next week, in Wexford!! The stewards even said if we kept our tickets we could get in free to the replay!! Its going to be our 6th time playing Wexford this season :eek:

No way , Limerick all over Wexford, ye just had your whole team behind the ball and the goal was a counter attack!! but it was a blessing in disgise if it was turning out to be a 1-1 draw!!

Its going to be our 6th time playing Wexford this season :eek:and no doubt we played the total football we play every week.how did the front 2 play and is it true no one from l37 board at the game.

[Lim till i die]

Is Kevin Waters alright?? :eek: :eek::eek:

[kopite]

think the story is-replay,and possibly fine as well incurring L37 expenses for replay.but we're dealing with f.a.i so anything could happen.there was a power failure in the area around 6.30pm,this aparently knocked out gennie.don't know bout the gennie story,but there was definetly a power cut at 6:30pm.

[L37Ultra]

The two up front, Kelliher and Colbert were good but Wayne kept dropping deep and Robbie seemed too un-fit to get the 70 minutes he played. he didnt do much in the second half, but in the first half Limerick were solid but as usual seemed to dwindle away in the second half and didnt take their chances. And yes as far as I know there was no one from the L37 board there. They have day jobs too ye know!!

[L37Ultra]

Is Kevin Waters alright?? :eek: :eek:


Well he got a bad tackle early on in the game and he seemed to be struggling from then on and during the second half he was subed off and he limped off!! I say he is doubtful for friday :eek:

Power failure in the area? how come the yuppys in the wine bar didnt have to sip their 'Black Tower' by candle-light? also the lights around the ground were working, they were also able to turn on the lights of the pitchs behind the ground for a min or 2 while trying to get the main floodlights on.

I think yuppies would be sipping something less common and more expensive than Black Tower :p What's it with you and wine bars anyway?! :D

There isn't another manager in the country that wouldn't have him fit by now. He's been back months ffs. He's obviously not being trained or advised correctly,

i think the fact he went to Spain for 2 weeks in late june early july didnt help his cause,plus he had an injury which he couldnt train on for over a week, thats 3 weeks of no training of the 7/8 weeks his been back.

Ah come on now, he was extremely over-weight as in even for a non-player. He is always training and running on his own and I think the 70+ minutes did him good but still dont know why he didnt start with McCarthy upfront :confused:

When he was playing under Noel O'Connor, no matter what other problems were there, fitness and his weight wasn't an issue. He's a semi-professional footballer, and the club should have him doing more than jogging around Summervilles pitch. He needs help with his diet, be made go off the drink and adapt his training to put emphasis on weight loss. The club are suffering when he's not fit because he's probably the best match winner in the entire division when on song.

Ya thats extremely true. In wexford he was class for the first half but then seemed to struggle (maybe he cant see in the dark :D). But saying that when he was under NOC he didnt leave to go to Shamrock Rovers and I dunno what happen up there or exactly how many games he played,but one of our best players has come back very un-fit and i wouldnt put that down to the current management to be honest. P.S does anyone know if Kevin Waters is injured for friday? He limped off during the Wexford game!! :ball:

They have had him back for over 2 months now, and he has made no progress at all from a fitness/weight loss perspective. What they're doing with him obviously isn't working, so it's time they changed tack....

[Jofspring]

although i don't know what fitness or weight loss training there are doing with robbie i do think maybe the management might not be doing enough to get him back to full fitness.

Anyone know what kind of training he is doing?? i.e. is he just training with the team like every other player or is he doing extra training and fitness work....

Well i presume they do have a fitness plan for him as he wasnt allowed to start a senior game until he played a certain amount of u-21 games. I think they are doing what they can, weight doesnt just fall off overnight!! He does extra fitness work ya...

good to hear he is doing extra fitness work. let's hope that this starts to pay off as soon as possible cause as everyone knows a fit kelleher is one of the best players in this division :D
