Could someone else confirm this. I refuse to believe in this day that the FAI are still treating our players like this.
If true the players should pull out.

How much are/were they charging for this thing?
Saw that about the showers this morning...can't be true can it?
I wonder is that happening to the other teamsQuote:

If that shower thing is true I wouldn't have an iota of sympathy for any player who choses to take part.
Sure you have the "honour" of being massacred by Man City infront of a crowd of yahooing morons but what about your dignity??
Where's Stephen McGuinness in all of this?? He seems to be prone to these extreme bouts of shyness at the worst possible times.
650 euros before tax covers that.Quote:

This comment clearly shows Rico has most definitely lost the plot and touch with reality - "he was happy enough with the player's fees and said that this weekend would be an experience money cannot buy."
I'd love to know how much he is getting or is he doing it for the experience. I think he thinks he is managing in the champions league.
I thought Wanderers were based in Landsdowne road? Will the players be getting a 2 minute bus journey to the other side of the ground?
why dont they do what they do in jackman and rotate the dressing room space four people at a time
So the FAI finally prove they're so dismissive of the league they can no longer even be called a right shower.
I'm seething at the treatment of the players. They, the league and the fans all deserve proper respect.
The worst part is them spending €50k so Celtic can have their showers and refusing to do the same for the LOI players. Joke of a tournament, hope they lose their shirts on it.
So the 'star' teams get a permanently reserved dressing room ?
I had support for the competition before this. That is an absolute joke. If the players have any pride, they'll pull out of this farce and have no involvement in this shambles.Quote:

Hard to have any respect for the FAI when they're treating their own players like this. The loi lads should withdraw their services. They deserve better.
I didn't believe it myself when I first heard it. Ludicrous. The players should certainly pull out, no doubt about it.
The Aviva isn't exactly a great stadium if they're hosting a competition like this and don't have the proper facilities for 4 teams. I don't Croke Park will have that problem for the 4 counties playing on Saturday and then the other 4 counties playing on Sunday.
