Apparently Blues got a €250 fine, and Bohs got €750 for their 'Jersey incident'

Thats a third strip, which unsuprisingly we've worn a total of once as its of the same two colours as the home strip (ie pointless IMO), we wore it the night we won the FD away to Cobh last season. Everytime there's a hint of a clash we wear the all black strip, to the extent we've had to wear it in all 3 games v Bray this season as both their strips contain green & white.

It is an impostor. He is criticising his own club. :eek:
According to LOI.ie the 3 Bray jerseys are:
1. Green & White
2. White
3. White
A few questions..
- Why do Bray have mainly white as their 3 registered jerseys?
- Why are 2nd & 3rd jerseys the same colour?
- How stupid are Bray?
:rolleyes:
1. eircomloi.ie is wrong
2. bray have 2 jerseys, a home and an away, no 3rd choice, how many teams have a 3rd choice?
3. we have never had a problem before, why did it only happen this season?
4. cork were in the wrong and rightly fined
5. unsporting behaviour not playing by the rules from cork
6. both are jerseys are quite different IMO, maybe people who have eyesight problems could have problems, but then again refs should not have eye sight problems.
Tiktok is spot on in his post.
And DubWand, a yellow kit? why yellow? when has yellow ever been assoicated with Bray? (in saying that yellow and blue are the Wicklow colours so might not be the worst idea) if anything an all black kit i reckon, would sort all problems out, or a very dark all green jersey.
The away jersey should be a different colour to the home jersey otherwise there is no point to having one! Only GAA teams use the same colours for both sets of jerseys. If Bray feel this logic is too difficult then there needs to be a minimum IQ rule for partaking in the league.
CCFC may have been in the wrong according to the rules but still doesn't not stop Bray from being fools even accepting that the rules don't mention different colour jersey.
Away jerseys are for having a bit of fun. The UCD colours are saffron and blue, hence our blue kits, but in the past few years, we're had black, white, red, green and yellow as our away colours.
I think if you go back and look at the colours for the first Galway v Pats game of this season in terryland you will see that galway wore white jerseys and Pats wore red jerseys.
I would imagine that the reason both clubs wore their away kits last week was due to the fact that Pats home and away clashed with Galway Maroon and also due to the new ruling that sleeves on jerseys should be completely different. Galway had white sleeves on their away kit so pats could not wear their red strip with white sleeves. In short, your argument does not stand up due to the fact that your point about the colours in April and September being the same is 'incorrect'.
If i remember the Cork v Galway game earlier in the season, i watched it on TV and imo the kits were too close and should not have been allowed. It was difficult to distinguish on TV.
I'll try and help here Pete
- Apparently they only have two kits
- Apparently they only have two kits
- Apparently not as stupid as a club whose enjoyment of being "Ridden Rock Solid" meant they broke the rules knowing a large fine was on the way.
The fine is way over the top but there must be money to burn on Leeside if your stuborness allows you to refuse to wear your away kit and have the first 67 people's entrance fee that night going straight to the FAI.
Q. What is the point in having an away jersey?
A. If you play a team away from home and your jerseys clash, then you change to the away strip.
At the start of the season a director at Bray must have pondered, when do we have to wear our away shirts this season??
A. Away to Cork City and Shamrock Rovers.
Ah well, he must have thought, we'll wear our white away jerseys at those games. Uh-oh they will clash too. Ah it'll be grand he thought, whats the worst that could happen???
In my eyes Bray are at fault here for not having a proper away jersey and the FAI are at fault for allowing them to register that away jersey.
The "it'll be grand" attitude and lack of foresight is sickening at times.
I can only go on what they is listed on the official league website.
If Cork City & Shamrock Rovers were to use the same logic as Bray & have a white away jersey what would happen when the two teams play???
I am not disputing the fine. The fact remains the Bray away jersey has no value when they forced to change the home jersey due to a clash of colours. They may be called away jerseys but they are really supposed to be change of colours. Every other club in the league understands that logic...
:rolleyes:
I have an article in today's Evening Echo about this incident
Just remembered that the Kilkenny keeper had to wear a Limerick GK jersey when we played them last week, the ref was a Mr R Rodgers of Dublin apparently.
Just noticed this thread now.
I used to look after the kit for Pats and i always rang the ref and the kit man from whoever we were due to play two days before the game. Simple solution.
Despite this I still managed to have an argument with Gerry Perry (:mad:) in Galway about kits clashing. He was a late replacement for John Feighery who had agreed it was best for Pats to wear their home kit. With the players all kitted out as they arrived at the ground Perry (:mad:) wasn't happy and made us change our jersey to the away jersey. At half time he made us change back to the home jersey as the colours he made us change into were clashing with the Galway colours.
Moral of the story - always ring ahead, never change refs at the last minute and Gerry Perry (:mad:) is an idiot!
Was Mr Buttimer reffing in Cyprus this week? :D
