Waterford-Shels looking in doubt due to the weather. Surely this game is gonna have to be played tomorrow at a neutral venue. No other time to play it really, and it'd be justice to Waterford to be fair considering they've cancelled this fixture numerous times for cup replays that didn't have to be played til weeks after.

Thats good news, all reports on weather there are telling me otherwise, but then again you'd know better actually being there.

Only misty today, no real rain. Was playing on a pitch this morning and it was grand. So should go ahead, barring disasterous weather tomorrow/

Yup, i'd agree :D. Waterford win really does stick that small bt of pressure on Shels. I know it's very very unlikley but Harps isint an easy place to go to and win so who knows. We've got nothing to lose anyway!

Just the small matter of a play-off is all.

WTF?

You are aware that replay dates are set by the FAI, not the club, and are set before the first game?

To be honest, I couldn't be arsed replying to that when I saw it before.
WTF just about sums it up though.

The one thing I would say on that though is that I dont think the FAI should schedule first division matches for the weekend of the FAI cup quarter finals. Its always very likely that first division teams will make it that far. They could easily schedule one round of first division fixtures for midweek.

But sure it's even more likely that most of the First Division teams won't make it that far.

Why punish all the teams by making them play a midweek round (with lower crowds and attendant problems for part-time players) when you need only postpone one or, at most, two games?

Fair point. I think there was a 6 week gap between the quarters and last 16 though. I dont know why the FAI wouldn't sort it out then. Rather than re-fix the match for a date clashing with cup replays.

That is true though.

(And twice at that)

You don't seem to have a problem.
The first re-sheduled date was October 6th. Both clubs would have agreed to this. Waterford Utd were preparing for League Cup Final(s) before that.

No it was originally re-fixed for the 15th of September which was the same date as the cup quarter final replays were set for. It was then set for the 6th of October because Waterford went to a replay. My problem is that it should never have been set for September 15th in the first place. It should have been arranged for another date.
To make matters worse when the game was postponed on the 6th of October(which was nothing but bad luck) the match was set for today. Had Sligo and Waterford drawn than this match would have been postponed again tonight for the semi-final replay. That would leave us with nowhere to put the Waterford match.

I hadn't realised it was that far back.
But Shelbourne could have played Finn Harps this week instead. However good luck tonight. I hope anyone that wanted to travel to the game was able to.

Yeah this has run on a while. I just think it might have been handled better.
It has cost me the chance to go anyway so I will be sitting in waiting for texts on whats going on. Thankfully the rain in Waterford hasn't affected tonights game so we can finally get this game over with.

Yeah the texts im getting are saying Waterford are all over us. They've had a goal disallowed too.

It's half time now. 1-0 shels. Sounds like we are under a lot of pressure though.

Second half is up and running now. It sounds like its still just Deano Delaney keeping us in it though.

I know how you feel :D. Its nerve wrecking when you cant be at the match and you depend on updates and its a close game. I was in spain for the rovers games and the tension was unbearable:D

My housemates think I'm crazy sure. Sitting in the corner staring at my laptop and nervous as hell. They have the united-barnsley match to distract them though.;)
Apparently we are doing a bit better now. So inevitably waterford will now score.:(

The Twitter updates sure make it seem like they threw the kitchen sink at ye!

That is a big, big win for Shels, though. Could they clinch 1st place after all? :eek:

It'd be hard to see UCD dropping points considering the form they've been in and we're always capable of throwing points away but you'd never know. Waterford sounded like they played very well tonight and i would'nt fancy playing them on the last day. Hopefully it'l go down to the wire now after that result.

Yeah like I said the texts I was getting made it sound like Waterford were destroying us. Fantastic win though. We certainly aren't out of yet.
Lets just focus on Longford for friday. The game is equally as big.
