Hey look who it is, the guy who should be restricted to the Juniorball forum with all the nonsense and lies he attempts to spread

Either way Limerick have a responsibility to our players, Wallace can run his players on glass for all I care, and if we deemed it unsuitable then so be it as far as we're concerned I guess

Now Jebus, you are starting to get ridiculous. Yes, L37 have a responsibility to their players and I'd expect nothing else. As for suggesting Mick would let his players out on a dangerous pitch, well you don't know him. We are an amateur team sourced only from the locality. If any of our players are lost through injury, we cannot summon up replacements easily. Hence the reason we have played a number of 16 and 17 year olds this season.

If its good enough for training its more than good enough to warm up on.
Either way Wexford gave up in the end but LK couldnt swallow their pride.

Again I say, Wallace may not care about his player's health and safety (and it certainly doesn't sound it if he makes them train on a poorly lit pitch in the darkness) but we do

It really doesn't sound like Wallace values them over a few blades of grass if all this is true about the 'not great' lighting. We're in a similar position to Wexford when it comes to sourcing our players from young locals as well

Derry 2-0 Linfield
Glentoran 1-0 St. Pat's

Both latest scores in the cross-border thing.. Not as exciting as this training pitch fiasco though!

where do wexford warm up for there home games?

Setanta Cup has nothing on Wexfordgate

Was going to go for Wallacegate myself.. :p

Wallace saying all the Lk players were happy to warm up anywhere as long the game went ahead, 19:20 was when he relented, 40 minutes is more than enough for a warm up.

On the training pitch. The same pitch that midweek training at night is used for, the same pitch every visiting team compliments after being on it.

Warm up, team talk and working through last minute instructions?

Wexford manager Mick Wallace was furious after the postponement:
'Limerick refused to warm up on our second pitch and asked to train on the match pitch. In our 18 month history in the First Division, no team in the league has warmed up on the match pitch before the game.
'Limerick have been here five times and warmed up on the second pitch on each occasion. Our match pitch is the best pitch in the league and our second pitch is the second best pitch in the league.

'Limerick refused to warm up on the second pitch and threatened to leave, so at 7.20, I informed them that they could in fact warm-up on the main pitch.
'This is against our policy but I did not want to cause trouble and there was about 500 supporters here who I wanted to be able to watch a game of football but at that stage they decided there was not enough time left to warm up.
He added: 'This seemed a crazy scenario seeing as Wexford Youths had not started to warm up. Teams generally take 20 to 25 minutes for a warm up and that would still have allowed Limerick back in the dressing room at 7.45.

'It does appear that Limerick did not want to play the game. We had noted that it was strange that two of their better players, Gary Sheehan and John Tierney were not in the starting 11 for some reason. Maybe there were problems that we didn't know about.'

Wallace now insinuating that Limerick had an ulterior motive...

Or being childish and not affording visiting teams the same respect in regards to your facilities as they do to you, wouldn't be Wallace's pathetic attempts at mind games would it :rolleyes:
