In fairness, that was from a Harps fan, and whatever about the state of the table now, it's undestandable that they'd want to see teams getting points deducted. ;)Quote:

If Harps were involved I'd be demanding to know exactly why we had not complied with the rules when they are perfectly clear. This is a kick in the teeth for everyone trying to promote the league, and an example has to be made to prevent it happening again.
Given all the positive hype in the buildup to the new season this farce will be highlighhted in the papers tommorrow rather than tonights games.
In my innocence when it was announced at Turners X that the Pats game started at 8.15 i thought it was due to crowd congestion!
Surely in this day and age the ref can view all relevant kits in emails the day before games and decide what does & doesn't clash.
I don't think ref's are on the internet yet, i mean the ref we had tonight is from an age where it's still ok to elbow a player in the face and not be punished so i'd be suprised if they have email addresses.
BTW the kits did clash. Our home kit has been the same for ****ing ever. Red body, white sleeves and white shorts. Scandalous that Sligo can have an awy kit so close to their home kit
Sligo ended up wearing our wawy kit of two years ago (with the pp logo on it). We wore it once in ore season
:rolleyes:Sure Sligo are never wrong about anything. Leave them alone its not their fault!
our home kit is 100% redQuote:

what the **** do u expect us to do???
also why were we allowed wear white shorts...buttimer is a spoon
In case anyone is wondering, the navy Pats jerseys eventually worn by Rovers do indeed have white sleeves. They also kept their white shorts to match those worn by Pats:confused: Maxi has a word for this...Quote:

If not, it would make sense to do so, anticipating and avoiding any potential clashes.
Why is it left up to the referee at the last minute to rule on this when there's very little time or scope left to make changes?
Once the fixture list is out - could the FAI not agree with clubs, which strip they should wear in advance of each match?
They did (allegedly). Apparantly they had two full time staff looking after it. Makes you wonder...Quote:

Posted this elsewhere, but may as well keep it together -
Also, when will clubs learn how to design jerseys? Showing the league up as amateurs again. It's ridiculous.
Hint from the way we work things - don't colour your sleeves differently. It's asking for trouble. One colour, and retain an old away jersey as a third choice kit. Duh-simple.
This happening too often to be left up to the clubs. The FAI need to tell clubs which jersey to wear.
Apparently Sligo gave in & wore the away Pats jersey. I suppose first fine to Pats as we were told last year that it is the home that must change.
:confused:
Seems to be. Interesting that he has been the referee every? time this has happened.Quote:

Its common for clubs who have striped or hooped jerseys to have one of the two home colours as the away jersey. How hard can it be to have an emergency 3rd kit ready in anticipation at the start of the season.
also as Dodge pointed out Pats have had the same strip forever, they were the home team (why should they be worrying about an away kit?), I can't see anyone but Sligo to blame here.
rovers kit is all white they dont have there home one yet as its being relesed later in the week
You started the season without a home kit? :rolleyes:Quote:

St Pats....Home team, same kit design for years, why should they have to change.
Sligo Rovers....Away team, get your house in order, sack your kit man, you knew what St Pats were gonna wear (unless you dont know the difference between Dublin teams colours)...you were wrong
Dont blame the Ref.....blame Sligo Rovers....Poor Preperation for the 1st game of the season.
Sligo have a red and white home kit and a white away kit. Thats sensible! Surely an all black or navy away kit would stop any conflict.
Pats jersey is registered as ALL RED with the FAI doesn't matter what it looked like the past 15 or what ever years. If it was registered as red and white their would be no problem
Points deduction surely for both clubs. If the FAI don't deduct points from these clubs for doing this it will happen again!
Hate to say I told you so:

Typical, blame the ref. 9 point reduction for both clubs seems fair, especially Sligo.Quote:

Maybe the next clubs that are playing with him should insist that his jersey clashes with, i dunno, the colour of the grass or the ballboys tops, and insist that he changes before they start.Quote:

Similar to what happened with us and Bray last night. I blame the same people I did then, the FAI, they have to sanction the kits, they should have let Sligo know they'd need a third kit for the Pats game or not sanctioned their away jersey.
We got fined a grand for this last year as the home team.
Serious paranoia.Quote:

But don't let that stop any of you with an inferiority complex. Was the referee from Dublin?
