well i'll put the speculation to dead then.
We were wearing our usual blues shirts,nicks and shorts. Bohs only brought away kit,wit blue shorts,and with blue stripe on it,so Buttimer decided they clashed. Game was about to be cancelled until they agreed to wear our away jerseys!

Could you spot any possible clashes?

i didnt think there was any problem,but the ref said the blue on it would clash with our all blue kit,and the fact bohs had blue shorts wit them didnt help either.

shorts and socks have to be noticibly different colours is all I can think of based on that

pretty sure there's a league rule saying you can't change just the shorts - but the whole kit if there is a conflict


EDIT: Plus I suppose sleeves have to be different in cases of a handball shout in a packed area

thats why just wearing our all white kit like asked to in the first would have sorted things,but Connor was having none of it. The game was about a minute from being called off like,until agreement!
and also fans were blaming WUFC for the problem,when the problem was just with Bohs!
Bohs were informed that we would be wearing our all blue kit before travelling down,and are meant to bring both kits with them in case they clash!

Bohs shouldn't have needed to be informed you were wearing your home kit at home! Ridiculous from Bohs, why didn't they just wear their home kit. Amatuer

If this Happens Why dont the Home team just wear their own Away kit and the Away team be fined with a percentage going to the home club. It looks ( and is ) stupid when an away team has to wear the home teams Strip. How bloody amaturish it looked on setanta when Cork played Bray :mad:
It will look even dafter on monday nite when ELW will have a big dicussion on it!!! Quaility Monday nite TV :rolleyes:

In this case had Waterford worn their away kit they would have clashed with Bohs' predominantly White strip.

Sounds like the ref was being a bit picky, but at the end of the day it was up to Bohs to bring a strip that the ref would accept.

Because we are the home team!!! Why should we be punished for Bohs stupidity???
Anyway Bohs definately didn't wear our away kit..It looked like a training top. Didn't have a sponser from what I could see.

Bohs were offered a kit from a local junior side but they turned it down because it had green + white hoops!!!! Didn't want to play looking like Shamrock Rovers..... :D

For feeck sake there is no similarity in the strips. Blue is waterford white is bohs away. Anthony Buttimer is a bloody clown!!

there is absolutly no difference between the bohs away kit and the waterford away kit, only that bohs have navy bits on the sleeves, and a very light blue line on it. an absolute joke. for some reason bohs always just bring their away kit to away games even when the home kit isnt clashing! very rarely do they use their home kit away from home

i reckon that WU tried to pull a fast one and line out in their away kit too

Well you reckon wrong then. :p

What apparently happened was that Bohs were advised (who by I don't know but I was told League officials) that their home strip would cause a clash under the floodlights, apparently purely because they're both dark. That don't make sense to me either, so don't shoot the messenger.
They quite reasonably then brought only the away strip, that they've used several times before, only to be informed by Mr Buttimer that he wouldn't allow it because of the blue sleeves.
A replacement kit was obtained at short notice from local side Villa FC which Bohs wouldn't wear, in both senses of the phrase, because it looked too much like some other team they apparently don't like. :D
Finally Bohs agreed to a replacement Waterford kit, apparently in the nick of time.

Neither club can be blamed, except in that Bohs wouldn't wear the green and white. Instead, seemingly a combination of over-zealous administrators and officials made a mountain out of a molehill.

Any suggestion that the fact that both teams played in Waterford's colours had anything to do with the game finishing scoreless is merely scurrilous tittle-tattle. :D

The thoughts of bohs wearing green and white hoops made me laugh. Shame it coudn't have happened.

Just a thought here, but do Waterford Bohemians not wear black and red stripes?

Bray ended up playing in Cork's away kit.

In all fairness, it sounds like then officials made a right balls of things last night.

It wouldn't be the Eircom League without a couple of farces like this per season.I know the refs in the league are bad but are they colourblind as well?How would Waterford's blue strip have clashed with a red and black Bohs strip?

no it was bohs away kit of white and tiny bit of blue...but they decided to leave the white shorts in dublin for that kit and bring dark blue ones!.(not sure about socks)

there home kit would have been fine!!

As said above, Bohs were told NOT to wear their home strip last night. This, according to a post on our MB is because earlier in the season it apparently caused problems in that the red and black somehow looked blue under the floodlights, which I do find strange.

:rolleyes: Hardly, Bohs wore their away kit which is all white, bar the jersey (which has navy sleeves). Buttimer said the navy sleeves clashed with Waterfords blue strip which is why we only changed the jersey.

We also had our home strip with us but Buttimer only had an all black strip with him; therefore causing our home strip to somehow clash under the floodlights :confused:

I thought that the team are required to bring both home and away kit just in case of such scenario's? I think our kitman brings both.

For sure. Boez didnt bring their home gear cos they were saving it for tonight.

Thought 4-0 flattered us friday. Take a look at Myler's last goal tonight for an example of their shocking defending though. And Dundalk lost a great night!

We're still on course for the UEFA Cup which will be a marvellous achievement considering where we've come from in less than 2 years.

Would be biggest lose since last time Fenlon blew it at Shels & Scully winning would be biggest upset in years!

I think Rovers will need to beat Drogs in a few weeks.

Obviously too, they'd be the first team to win both divisions in successive years.

Had money on Pat's - they choked. Then put money on Drogs so that I'd win no matter which one won the league...

Excellant quality footage from Pats, can anyone tell me for the peno was the ref very near the keeper on the 6 yard box? or is that in the rules
