This is supposed to be the Premier League in Clare!!
no human error here. newmarket celtic were togged out on the pitch with their red and white jerseys at 1. 45. bunratty must have been blind if they didnt see the colour of the newmarket jerseys. bunratty didnt arrive on the pitch until 2. 05. why did they wait until this time to send someone for the second set of jerseys. Bunratty did not want to play this game yesterday and by the team they had out its easy to see why. i hope they get a massive fine and newmarket awarded the 3 points. i missed tulla's great win in the park yesterday to go and watch this shamblesQuote:

The second set were the mixed up set from the cleaners. With this Bunratty went away and got a third set, this took up to 2.25 to arrive. At this time the referee was going out the gate. In terms of the team being put out, they had a full panel with the exception of Brian Donnellan.Quote:

The grass wasn't even cut and was a foot long in places (I'm not exaggerating), the person who lined the pitch obviously had a few too many pints (there were 2 parallel lines about 15 yards along one sideline) and the goals were ready to fall apart (thank god nobody hit the woodwork).
Compared to that pitch, Newmarket's ballycar pitch last year was premiership standard.
Can anyone explain why these two teams were forced to play on this joke of a pitch ?
Newmarket played well (considering the circumstances) to come away with a 1-0 win, but for any team to have to play on that surface is ridiculous.

I seem to remember Newmarket having to change to the third set of blue jerseys a few times down through the years because of colour clashes. It could be just the memory playing tricks with me in my old age.
you could be right .. but i am in old age stage as well ,, usually easier for home team to change gear also :pQuote:

As name suggests, I am old school too. However, up to a few seasons ago at any rate, it was the home team that needed to change in the event of a colour clash. (Imagine for example Cooraclare/Moher arriving to O'Briens Bridge to find that Bridge Celtic had changed strip for new season and there was a clash). Much easier for home team to change. I remember one occasion where we were away team and home team didn't have a second strip available. We ended up turning our jerseys inside-out because our lining was white whereas other teams was blue inside and out. Different times but at least game was played. BTW Cooraclare's pitch has always been a disgrace. No regard for the basic requirements whatsoever and yet they get away with it every season.Quote:

It doesnt matter what colours anyone wears the rule is the home team changes if their strip clashes with the visitors registered colours and Newmarkets colours are red for the last 30 years at least.
so technically it was newmarket at fault last weekend then.with jersey clashes . :confused:Quote:

The problem here is that when a club gets a new set of sponsered gear, it may be differant from what the club was previously wearing and the club may not have informed the League of the colour change.
This however was not the problem here as Newmarket were the away side and like a lot of contributers to the thread, Newmarket have played in Red for as long as I can remember also.
Why does this problem not arise when Newtown play Avenue, simply because both teams know they wear the same colours but have sensible, responsible people running their clubs who avoid a clash of colours.
Anybody from Bunratty that did not know that Newmarket play in RED must have just moved into the parish last weekend.
I would have to agree. I think everyone knows Newmarket play in red and any, even slight colour clash should have been noticed before the day of the game and delt with by Bunratty.Quote:

Mix up maybe but it would be harsh on them if they were to lose the points ( which I don't think they will )
Cousin Syl has been very quiet on this so maybe he might be able to clear things up unless he has a guilty conscious about something.
Do tell Cousin Syl..........................

To be honest I think one of the clubs is always on the ball and has the second set at both home and away games.
The point here is if you go to the bother of getting a second strip you might as well wear it when you get the opportunity or it will never be used.Having said this most managers and I include Newtown in this never bother to check what colors their visitors wear and in effect ,despite having in some cases 3 full changes of gear in their home dressing rooms ,change only the jerseys at the last minute when they see their opponents togged out.Its laziness and incompetence.
Bunratty didnt pull any stunts here if any thing the players where going mad because they management made a mistake with the gear.Bunratty where well up for the game and couldnt ask for better conditions last sunday.There should have been a black set of gear left in the clubhouse for there second kit but the under 17's manager took it.Bunratty did NOT pull any stunts here as they fully wanted to play the game but it was a mistake on the management part but its forgotten about and they can make sure this dosent happen again!!!!....Quote:

It was very simple what happened. Bunratty managment had left a set of black jersey's in the clubhouse. This is the A team 2nd set. The Under 17 manager took these jersey's from the clubhouse and could not be contacted Sunday when it was realised there was a problem. A set of white jerseys were then proposed but the referee said they were still too similar to the Newmarket strip as they have red sleeves. A committee member then travelled to Cratloe and got blue jerseys. He arrived back in Bunratty at 2.27 where he passed the referee going out the gate of the field and so the game was not played.
In no way are Bunratty saying the ref was at fault. It was a mistake on Bunratty's part but a genuine and simple mistake to make.
Now, despite lads on here from a number of clubs not involved in this at all having opinions on the matter can we leave it to the lg to decide what action to take.
I wasnt aware it was a prerequisite to be a member of the clubs involved in an incident to comment on this site???But you are right enoughs enough and anybody who thinks Bunratty were stroking is paranoid.Quote:
