Clash of colours at Richmond Park

[Mr A]

According to RTE radio there's a clash of colours at Richmond Park and there is doubts over the game. Sligo brought a fully white kit and Pats kit has white sleeves but neither side will back down.

What a crap start to the season.

[Réiteoir]

Sligo and Pats not sanctioned to go ahead as yet due to the sleeves on the jerseys of the two clubs are the same colour

[Boo_Boy]

oh god:o

[pp-me]

OhHhH god tell them to stop the sh1t its the first game of the season!!:p:eek

Ohh wait im not surprised;)

[Mr A]

I'd feckin dock points off both sides if this does not go ahead. The league really can't afford this s**te.

[Boo_Boy]

dont worry pats will get there way because there from dublin:p

[SligoBrewer]

Bit of a joke...

Could Pats not just go Patselona for the night?

[Mr A]

Could Sligo not bring a kit that wasn't red or white?

[Réiteoir]

And if anyone hadn't guessed - the referee is a certain Mr Buttimer

[Boo_Boy]

Could Sligo not bring a kit that wasn't red or white?

rovers dont have a home kit yet:p

it will be launched next week,thats why they have been playing in the white kit for pre-season.

[Mr A]

I wouldn't blame the ref. The rules state that both teams can't have the same colour of sleeves and the clubs know that.

[Boo_Boy]

what radio station are the updates on?,can you listen online?

[Mr A]

RTE Medium Wave. Not sure about an online option.

[Boo_Boy]

game is underway at richmond park,6 mins gone according to Keith O'Dwyer but the game is meant to start at 7:45:confused:

[Réiteoir]

dunno what game he's watching as there's no game kicked off at Richmond yet.

Sligo out in their tracksuit tops - no sign of Pats yet

[Shedzer]

whats the best Radio station to listen to this?

[kkontour]

[south sligo red]

Cant understand why white sleeves could prove such a problem for the ref! Considering its the first game of the season this could have been foreseen a long time ago instead of turning the fixture into a joke!

:confused:.wonder what he's on about,hes at the game:confused:

[Mr A]

Sleeves clashing are a problem in the event of a handball in a crowded penalty area or something like that.

[Shedzer]

No sign of a kick off, teams on the pitch.

Over 15 mins late

Both sets of players with tracksuit tops on

Damien Richerdson blaming Sligo Rovers if anyone, they are meant to ring the home team apparantly

Both teams 'sticking to their guns'

[Réiteoir]

sticking to their guns a euphemism for "being stubborn ****ers"

[superfrank]

RTE just said 8.15 kick off.

[Mr A]

I can't remember the exact rule here, but whoever is on the wrong side of it should ship one mighty fine for this one.

[Boo_Boy]

according to keith o dwyer,pats were asked to change their kit all there officials complained and there players went into the dressing room,came out 10 mins later in the same kit,now rovers will use st pats other kit:rolleyes:

the dubliners put up a fuss and buttimer overrules his original decision:rolleyes:

[Mr A]

The rule seems to be that the away team must bring their 2 strips. If both clash then the home team must change. As Sligo didn't bring 2 strips they're in the wrong, as Pat's will not change so are they. What a pathetic farce.

like i said rovers dont have a home kit yet.

[south sligo red]

But both of sligo's kits clash with pats so how can sligo be in the wrong?

[Mr A]

Because the rules say they have to bring 2 kits and they didn't.

But both of sligo's jersey's clash with pats so why would sligo be in the wrong?

[Mr A]

Because the rules say they have to bring 2 kits and they didn't. :)

[kkontour]

Because they didnt bring two strips, If they did, the outcome would be the same but sligo would be right.
rules are rules.

[dfx-]

like i said rovers dont have a home kit yet.

*sigh*

Has the start of the season caught people in Sligo unawares?

[Boo_Boy]

they were awaiting the finalisation of sponsors.

[cornerflag]

its not as if sligo didnt have enough time to get 2 kits sorted. the fixtures are out ages!

this kind of thing doesnt even happen in the LSL. im confused now as to which is the amateur setup

[Boo_Boy]

god its half-time in other games,i'll give it 15mins and if nothing has happened it has gotta be called off.

[neville neville]

the thing is the kits dont really clash

just the ref acting the bo***x

[Réiteoir]

they were awaiting the finalisation of sponsors.

Bohs played 3 or 4 games at the start of the last double winning season in 2002/03 without a sponsor on their home or away jerseys for the same reason - so not really a valid excuse lads

Have got the white jersey we used that season - and it's got no sponsor on it. Looks class btw

[Boo_Boy]

thats what it says on the website,

[BobtheDrog]

we've been wearing last seasons, still waiting on a new sponsor

[srfc1928]

I'd feckin dock points off both sides if this does not go ahead. The league really can't afford this s**te.
yeah we should have brought a second kit and the sponsor thing isnt a valid excuse,but as neville neville said the kits dont really clash.
The ref was been very fussy.
But for people to start calling for fines and point deductions,give me abreak

[Fivesilver]

for people to start calling for fines and point deductions,give me abreak

In fairness, that was from a Harps fan, and whatever about the state of the table now, it's undestandable that they'd want to see teams getting points deducted. ;)

[Mr A]

Lads, a premier game was delayed for over half an hour because the team's kits clashed, it doesn't matter if is wasn't by much, the rules are the rules. Are you seriously trying to tell me that someone should not be punished for this? If Harps were involved I'd be demanding to know exactly why we had not complied with the rules when they are perfectly clear. This is a kick in the teeth for everyone trying to promote the league, and an example has to be made to prevent it happening again.

[paudie]

Given all the positive hype in the buildup to the new season this farce will be highlighhted in the papers tommorrow rather than tonights games.

In my innocence when it was announced at Turners X that the Pats game started at 8.15 i thought it was due to crowd congestion!

Surely in this day and age the ref can view all relevant kits in emails the day before games and decide what does & doesn't clash.

[Anto McC]

I don't think ref's are on the internet yet, i mean the ref we had tonight is from an age where it's still ok to elbow a player in the face and not be punished so i'd be suprised if they have email addresses.

[Dodge]

BTW the kits did clash. Our home kit has been the same for ****ing ever. Red body, white sleeves and white shorts. Scandalous that Sligo can have an awy kit so close to their home kit

Sligo ended up wearing our wawy kit of two years ago (with the pp logo on it). We wore it once in ore season

[Finlay Harp]

:rolleyes:Sure Sligo are never wrong about anything. Leave them alone its not their fault!

[Red4Eva]

:rolleyes:Sure Sligo are never wrong about anything. Leave them alone its not their fault!

our home kit is 100% red
