The very epitome of a pointless post - posting to encourage others not to discuss something that they have already posted and been called out on!Quote:

You're saying this online version of you is you fully matured? Going to stick you on the ignore list so.Quote:

This weekends game are a case in point for how close it's gotten. Close but Dundalk still stronger. Dundalk digging out a result against Pats even when they didn't very play well whereas Rovers dominated Cork but couldn't get 3 points. If we had one of Hoban or Kelly the league table might look a lot different but we have Aaron Greene.....god love him he tries but he just can't finish under any sort of pressure at all. Maybe we won't fix that next year but if we do I'd think it will be a longer and more competitive title race. Would think Dundalk have it wrapped up now. Maybe we will meet each other in the Europa League final for some revenge.
Apart from maybe 20mins at the start of Dundalk's game against Pats last night Dundalk dominated the match and were unlucky not to win by more than 1-0.Quote:

Fair enough. I only caught the first half which was dominated by Pats for the start and then by Dundalk for the end as you say but White Horse on the match thread said it wasn't a great Dundalk performance and even enough overall? I've read match reports that had Dundalk dominating or it being back and forth. Didn't seem at their best to me and I'd expect you to beat Pat's handily but in fairness, you rested three of your best players and still won the game. Wish we could stick teams away when we dominate......wouldn't mind loaning us Georgie Kelly would you? I'll drive up and pick him up myself. Will even give you Aaron Greene in return......Quote:

Dear FAI fixture coordinators,
Schedule teams that have European football to have home games during potential European runs, its not rocket science.
Sincerely,
Everyone with a pair of braincells to rub together.
That's a fair point if a club has a home game called off to facilitate Euro game the euro club should have to give them their average gate on the night in question and then when the game is refixed it's pure profit for the non Euro club
Far too much logic in that suggestion for the FAI to even consider it.Quote:

The alternative would be to play the game on Sunday, but than would potentially mean Dundalk travelling early the next day to Cyprus with no warm down or medical treatment for players following the match in Sligo.
For the Rovers UCD game that was grand, no extra travel, gate loss all on the club that's getting extra money anyway, that's how it should be done. The Cork game on the other hand, loads of extra travel and the home team had the game moved from their normal day, that's not fair on anyone. I'd love to meet whoever they have organising the fixtures, seems like its a secondary school kid on work experience at best.Quote:

I dont think Dundalk will get past Qarabag but if they do thats another 500k banked, even without, its onto EL r3 and a chance to still earn more than the current 1.2M , the re-fixed Sligo game will attract min 500 less, maybe as much as 1k thats a big loss for them.
Jeez rathfarnham hoop I hope foot.ie protect your anonymity when the secondary school kids come looking to sue you for defamation comparing them to the fixture scheduler in the FAI
To be fair to the FAI ( ooooh that’s feels wrong) everyone called for support for our clubs competing in Europe for years. They can’t be arsed to do anything complicated like play European qualifiers against each other in July/August so that, added to the increase in the number of matches ( for the likes of Dundalk dropping down) means postponements are almost inevitable. Perhaps a portion of European winnings retained by FAI and used to alleviate losses by clubs suffering ?Quote:

Agree 100% , the teams in Europe have huge extra resources available which allows them greater depth of squad. No postponements and if the club's ship a few points in the league so be it.
When we treat our league games with disrespect we undervalued the entire league. When man u play in Europe they play at the weekend because the league is respected
