Just checked there on Sportsfile, Bray wore an all-navy kit. Ramblers had all-white away to Drogheda while Galway wore their home against Pat's

Does it cost less if you throw a recyclable material?Quote:

The FAI needs to do something here, either by spotting these potential problems in advance and pressing the clubs to be ready (the fines might sort it out in the long run, but every incident like this is a PR disaster for the league), or by changing the rules so Buttimer can't cause a fuss over nothing again.Quote:

Don't forget that pats weren't sanctioned for 7 subs in that game following a further submission by Pats and Buttimer. So he either sanctioned 7 subs, or lied...
Bottle thrown on pitch so thats 50 for us aswell
A chocolate bar went on too anyone know what that costs?:p
Bohs threw a few cans on too, is that same price as bottles? They were Heineken...in case that matters:D
It depends,was it cadburys or nestle?Quote:

Thankfully Mr. Buttimer was not the referee on duty so a a half hour delay in the match was avoided.
And what about the Mr. Motivator? Did he have to change out out of his yellow leotard??
I'd say Buttimer was raging last night when Bray turned up with an all navy third strip and he couldn't find any clash of colours whatsoever :)
He did however find something to be pedantic about. When Tadg Purcell was coming on as a sub he was wearing black leggings under his shorts. Buttimer made him take the leggings off before coming on. Purcell had to strip to his underwear on the side of the pitch before being let play.
I wonder why Buttimer didn't ask Bray sub Onwubiko to paint his legs white before coming on considering his legs were every bit as black as Purcell's leggings.
Presumably because Buttimer didn't realise that black and navy don't go!Quote:

The ref has jurisdiction on everything the player wears, e.g. jewelery, tape on socks, face masks, etc. Every player is supposed to be inspected but for practical purposes that rule just gets a cursory nod with substitutes' studs.Quote:

If it weren't for the fact that we're obviously much better run under the FAI, I'd be beginning to seriously wonder about the sanity of officials in this league.
