Possibly, but in that case, you can just change shorts or keeper's jersey; no need to have the whole team change the whole kit.
FT Cork City 3 - 2 Longford Town
FT Drogheda United 1 - 0 Derry City
FT St. Patricks 4 - 2 Bray Wanderers
FT Shamrock Rovers 4 - 0 Galway
87' Waterford U. 0 - 0 Bohemians
Limerick 37 0-0 Cobh Ramblers
well i'll put the speculation to dead then.Quote:

Could you spot any possible clashes?Quote:

pretty sure there's a league rule saying you can't change just the shorts - but the whole kit if there is a conflict
EDIT: Plus I suppose sleeves have to be different in cases of a handball shout in a packed area
thats why just wearing our all white kit like asked to in the first would have sorted things,but Connor was having none of it. The game was about a minute from being called off like,until agreement!
and also fans were blaming WUFC for the problem,when the problem was just with Bohs!
Bohs were informed that we would be wearing our all blue kit before travelling down,and are meant to bring both kits with them in case they clash!

have they paid the dry cleaners???
If this Happens Why dont the Home team just wear their own Away kit and the Away team be fined with a percentage going to the home club. It looks ( and is ) stupid when an away team has to wear the home teams Strip. How bloody amaturish it looked on setanta when Cork played Bray :mad:
It will look even dafter on monday nite when ELW will have a big dicussion on it!!! Quaility Monday nite TV :rolleyes:
In this case had Waterford worn their away kit they would have clashed with Bohs' predominantly White strip.
Sounds like the ref was being a bit picky, but at the end of the day it was up to Bohs to bring a strip that the ref would accept.
Because we are the home team!!! Why should we be punished for Bohs stupidity???Quote:

Bohs were offered a kit from a local junior side but they turned it down because it had green + white hoops!!!! Didn't want to play looking like Shamrock Rovers..... :D
Stylish touch in fairness.Quote:

Wearing the green and white would have been a dream come true for some Bohs players :D
For feeck sake there is no similarity in the strips. Blue is waterford white is bohs away. Anthony Buttimer is a bloody clown!!
I like it!:D its so trueQuote:

Well you reckon wrong then. :pQuote:

They quite reasonably then brought only the away strip, that they've used several times before, only to be informed by Mr Buttimer that he wouldn't allow it because of the blue sleeves.
A replacement kit was obtained at short notice from local side Villa FC which Bohs wouldn't wear, in both senses of the phrase, because it looked too much like some other team they apparently don't like. :D
Finally Bohs agreed to a replacement Waterford kit, apparently in the nick of time.
Neither club can be blamed, except in that Bohs wouldn't wear the green and white. Instead, seemingly a combination of over-zealous administrators and officials made a mountain out of a molehill.
Any suggestion that the fact that both teams played in Waterford's colours had anything to do with the game finishing scoreless is merely scurrilous tittle-tattle. :D
The thoughts of bohs wearing green and white hoops made me laugh. Shame it coudn't have happened.
Just a thought here, but do Waterford Bohemians not wear black and red stripes?
I missed that what happened there?Quote:

no it was bohs away kit of white and tiny bit of blue...but they decided to leave the white shorts in dublin for that kit and bring dark blue ones!.(not sure about socks)Quote:

As said above, Bohs were told NOT to wear their home strip last night. This, according to a post on our MB is because earlier in the season it apparently caused problems in that the red and black somehow looked blue under the floodlights, which I do find strange.Quote:

We also had our home strip with us but Buttimer only had an all black strip with him; therefore causing our home strip to somehow clash under the floodlights :confused:
I thought that the team are required to bring both home and away kit just in case of such scenario's? I think our kitman brings both.
For sure. Boez didnt bring their home gear cos they were saving it for tonight.Quote:

We're still on course for the UEFA Cup which will be a marvellous achievement considering where we've come from in less than 2 years.
