Anyway, thankfully MNS don't cover the first division, so the masses will be none the wiser...

I dont honestly know I was just making that point because a couple of people were complaining Harps did this deliberatly which I dont believe anyway.
Gethins would be a miss for harps sure. They dont have the strongest team and hes got a few goals for them.

I didn't theorise at all, I just said it was suspicious, which it is, I mean the people at Harps aren't stupid, they must have known. I'm not going to say it was done on purpose, but they definitely knew the pitch was in a bad state, before the referee called the game off.

Bad news the game was postponed. Hopefully Harps will get enough money from the gate they receive when the replay goes ahead.

Wouldn't think that will happen, if the game is replayed, I seriously doubt many Shels fans will attend, I know I won't be, what happened today was an absolute disgrace, and its easy to feel sorry for Harps when you didn't spend 8 hours today on a bus that ultimately went nowhere.

Maybe if you defended better at home in the last minute of last season, you would have faced an 8 minute trip across the river tonight instead. And put up a bit of resistance too. :o:(

Game will be replayed. There has been a lot of rain up there lately, and pitches are covered with sand if they're in bad condition. I don't suspect Harps of having an ulterior motive, as they need the money.

We were missing Johnny Havlin and Conor Gethins, both have been p!ss this season and its not something that would have us worried.

Another point is, does anyone here actually think we are worried about a couple of points? We are sitting 4th from bottom 4 points from the team above us, I doubt very much that we are worried about 3 points this season.

We actually have fans who had money on Shels to win 4-0 or more (not that I condone it but every man to their own), so I doubt very much anyone up here was happy at last nights decision by the ref.

we are a bit luckier with one a month for the next two months but yea that smells of big trouble. sack your manager now hes toss anyway and wait ten weeks to appoint to avoid paying any big wages

Of course, given the FAI's typical behaviour towards Shels, nothing will happen or it'll be a 3 nil Harps win.

That's a typical Dublin solution. I guess a few years ago the FAI would have awarded you the game, paid your expenses, and humbly apologised for any inconvenience. Might even have given your 20 supporters a voucher for Bus Eireann. But Bohs have now taken over the Shels mantle. I do remember going to a game in Tolka on a cold winters day. Every game in the Premier league was called off early in the day. We listened on the radio to see why the game was not called off, but as we turned off the M50 we were told the game was still on. However when we got to the ground we were informed the game was just called, and their attitude to the couple of hundred Derry City supporters who made the journey was..........

Too F***ing Bad'

Remember, what goes around comes around. So the 20 of you, just suck it up.

The pitch was a disgrace - completely dangerous and unplayable.

The FAI should throw the book at Harps and refix the game in Tolka or at least a neutral ground.

Harps licence for Finn Park should be withdrawn.

Complete joke :mad:

Overreact much? :rolleyes:

Probably only an overreaction on the licence withdrawal tbh, and even at that its debatable.

The attitude of some people on here is insane.

As for what happened i don't believe for one minute that it was done on purpose but for Shels fans to be told 20 minutes away from the ground that the game is off is ridiculous. Shels have still to play twice up in Ballybofey and i'm hoping for an across the board boycott by all Shels fans.

I'll tell you what's insane, the fans of a club who once delayed a game for an hour because they didn't bring the right kit and refused to obey the refs direction to wear an alternative, lecturing on model behaviour.

If all the clubs wronged by Shels adopted the same approach you are advocating against Harps you'd never play another game.

What comes around etc...

I remember Shels last year not paying their ESB bill and a game having to be called off :D

Thank god the power failure wasn't 2 years ago or you wouldn't have had a clue about it.

Why is that then? Do you think people that dont attend league of ireland matches dont know whats going on week in week out within the league?

I'm sure people look at the papers or errortel:D

you were saying that Shels should be given the 3 points but you wernt saying that when the lights didnt work for you did you.

I do think people that don't attend, don't have a clue yeah. And a power failure that affected the whole area is not the fault of Shels, this here was directly the fault of Finn Harps.

I do believe that power failure was the fault of the ESB. And it affected the whole Drumcondra area as CSF says.

Shels fans on here seem to have a great memory when pointing out to Fingal fans about their 115 years in existence. The only problem is they seem to forget the many problematic events during that existence.

Regardless, we won't give the league as good a laugh as everyone had at your fall from "grace".

Even now as a mediocre First Division side Shels fans still manage to have illusions of grandeur.

It was very regrettable what happened on Friday night. I had take a half day off work and drove from Dublin for it. As embarrassing as it maybe for Harps, the truth of the matter is that it was an unfortunate mistake, one which they will be rightfully punished for.

But for any group of fans in this entire country to be suggesting all these punishments, you lot should be last in the line with your track record.

That is the point boy wonder. Harps fans are very aware of what we are.

Ostrich behaviour for years from your lot is the reason you are were you are.

A mediocre First Division side.

Hope you had a good weekend.

I don't know what Shels fans are so upset about.

They should be grateful for another excuse to get our of their slums.
