Quiet you, no one cares about your small potatoes cup

A lot of L37 fans V Youths fans here and none of us have the truth yet. Perhaps we should wait until some sort of referees' report of FAI observers' report comes out before comments get out of hand.
In any event, neither club is covered in glory and league members reflect the league itself.
If the pitch in question is adequately lit (and I mean to some sort of official standard as opposed to Splurge's own) then Limerick do have a case to answer both to Wexford/FAI and our own fans who'd travelled. Conversely if the field is poorly lit then Limerick are 100% in the right IMO and Wexford Youths should be held culpable for failing to provide a suitable spot to warm up in. At that stage it's totally irrelevent if Waterford, Watford or Juventus gave them the thumbs up. Is there an official requirement?
Spot on. On both counts.
Oh well they're informed experts that were there so that clears it up... :rolleyes:
Sounds like Wallace acting the b0llocks and getting his bluff called to be honest. Token fine for both teams and refix the game would seem the most judicious decision.
The match delegate at the game would not comment to press so up FAI will probably wait till tomorrow to make a statement when then hear from ref and match delegate.
Can see both teams getting in trouble but can anyone clarify have Wexford broken any rules?
This was not a first from Limerick then asked at last home game to warm up on main pitch but was denied as under18 cup final on pitch on the Sunday as well.
When then where told to then could warm up at 7.20 why not do so?
It was enough time I have seen plenty of teams warm up this year home and away the majority for no more than 20 mins. Most teams come out at 7.25 7.30 till 7.45 7.50 for 8pm kick off.
Also Limerick in no real position to take moral high ground on facilities not sure if in this forum but teams refusing to change in dressing rooms twice this season was mentioned.
Hope all the fans got back ok as was told not sure if true that some Limerick supporters had traveled down with team but team left without them.
We`re not that used to playing on grass, can we apply to warm up around 2pm next Friday for our match in Wexford ?:D
Players warm down on the side pitch in Derry but warm up on main pitch...or at least we do when playing up there anyway.
Not the issue. If we had better changing rooms we wouldn't stop you using them, as it is this is one aspect Kerley is trying to improve at Limerick as he focuses on getting the best standard of facilities for the players.
Wexford had a perfectly lit pitch available for use but wanted to shove us up to a 'not great' one. Saying he doesn't want the grass damaged is nonsense to be honest, he was trying to play mind games and had his bluff called
Mind games!! He does this for every game, and he "shoves" our lads onto it aswell. We train on it all year round, it's perfectly ok to train on and to warm up on.
Either way the sulk paid of and WYFC agreed to let youse on 40 minutes before KO, we hadnt started to warm up yet either so we were in the same boat. But i read somewhere that the referee called LK37 out at 7:55 and they wernt there so there has to be only one outcome.
