HT panel slating the pitch. It is a state in fairness. Timlin challenge bizarrely over the top. How was he not sent off?
The panel were aasholes at half time! The pitch is what it is, get over it. As for Ger canning - dose
there right it's disgraceful it's a bog patch no care is gone into it obviouslyQuote:

Yeah you're right forget about standards. The panel were 100 % correct it's a disgrace, seems to be a theme in this league a below par synthetic pitch is unacceptable but a grass pitch is acceptable in any state. Until there are fines handed out for it nothing will change.Quote:

Never got the hoo haw around Dundalks pitch is like a good Replicant and they are always better than a bad Human.
Absolutely sick after the Pats game. Last kick of the match and we concede an equaliser. Thought we were the better side and deserved the win. Nothing going right this year.
Think both Limerick and Pats will make it myself. Just about.
Was really sweating on Dundalk in the last few minutes there. Looking forward to Dalymount next week now.
Harps should be fined for that pitch. It was beyond a disgrace. Looked like it had been ploughed.
Athlone have two subs!

Bohs self destructing. The joys of having nothing to play for.
Rather an unfair comment.Quote:

Also you've got your wish to seal the title by winning in Dalymount.
Happy days.

Pats will prob be still ok even with conceding in the last min.
Amazing really when you consider the huge lead Cork had/have, and might only win it in mid Oct.
I thought dundalks second goal was taken very well - nicely placed
It was a poor game, but I'd agree dundalk did play some decent stuff on a very poor surface.Quote:

Not really when you consider the postponements and cup weekends. Been an odd second half of the year. Obviously there have been a few slip ups too, but the schedule has been very odd.
Should have been 4 or 5 up. Could have drawn.
Still pretty perfect set of results for us this weekend with the exception of Bray not winning.
Harps look gone. Wouldn't be putting any money on who else joins them.
We were sloppy and hesitant all night.Quote:

Serious game for you next weekend.
Analysis of Saturday's crazy Inchicore six-pointer, from which Shane Duggan's Limerick FC stole a late point: http://bit.ly/2xp57nb
pitch has being an issue for a while. Sligo Rovers game few weeks back when Harps played them was the exact same. Mind you doesnt stop Paddy McCourt scoring class goals though!Quote:

Disappointing result really, despite not expecting anything from the game Dundalk were there for the taking. Had Eddie Dsane not brought two left feet and had scored into the open net it could have been a very different outcome.
It's certainly an uphill battle now. Realistically, we need to get 7 points from 9 now to have any hope. Anything can happen, but wouldn't hold my breath.
Sure I almost started to miss the First Division..
For the record, I was in a bar that had the game on but had no commentary so I did not have the panel talking about the pitch. Can anyone explain why it looked like it had been ploughed?
I think it's safe to assume, given that dundalk were visiting and harps needed the points, that harps simply had someone plough the field.Quote:

That's a Roddy "I can't be blamed" tactic. He's done that numerous times over the years. Bet he could get a full bench if he needed it.Quote:

heard that Enda Curran and Stephen Walsh are already gone from athlone which seems strange to say the least!Quote:

Anyone hear what the 'craic' was?
