We can fulfil our duties, it's outsiders who want it switched. We're not happy about it either.Quote:

Agree. Why anyone would be bothered with Ronaldo and Raf coming to town is beyond me.Quote:

Let se how many shams fans travel to tolka for this
Has it be put back again to saturday? Same time for kick off?
This is showing an unbelievable disregard for LoI fans. What about those who were organising a bus or had arranged for a couple of hours off to travel up on Friday? I suppose these people, your dedicated supporters, don't matter anymore. If they ever did.
I agree, Shams should be sanctioned for this. It's their ground as they love to tell us. If they can't have their sh1t together then they should be punished. Real Madrid game or no Real Madrid game.
This will clash with the GAA in Kerry now as well. Nice one guys.
Is the Gah match not on TV at 5pm?? Get to the Cat & Cage for 5pm, watch the GAA on the telly and then make your way down to Tolka Park to watch the real pride of the county!! ;)Quote:

Nothing to do with us. SDCC shut the ground, the FAI rearranged the game, yous have a game to watch in Dublin this weekend.Quote:

But you are the only club cramming in friendlies that will **** with the league programme.
The day before a game is ridiculous.

Sorry but it has everything to do with Shamrock Rovers FC. Ye wanted the friendly (for obvious reasons). Ye wanted it played at Tallaght ( again for obvious reasons ) and now ye can't hold a league game on the night it was supposed to be held...Quote:

An announcement from the FAI the day before is the most infuriating part though...
But that's not your fault ;)
It shouldn't do anything to the league programme. I'd be exceptionally surprised if there was any sufficient grounds that the game on Friday could not be held but the game last week and Monday can be.Quote:

If there was another stadium capable of hosting Real Madrid at the moment, it would have been chosen. As it is, Tallaght is the only vaguely suitable venue, and only we play in Tallaght.
2 years ago, we had a trip to Sligo which was changed at the last minute to facilitate tv, ruining many fans travel plans. That wasn't your fault, and this isn't ours.
For the record I wasn't blmaing Rovers
I was laughing at your pathetic ten team league excuse.
Rovers are being screwed by platinum and their landlords. Nothing they can do
End of the day, it's down to the FAI and their poor handling of the league. They should have seen this coming as soon as the Madrid friendly was organised, they were told on the 9th that the SDCC wanted to close Tallaght. WHY did they wait till the 16th to announce it!?
