What happened your other Setanta Cup game? (i think was due for 15th Sept) How will ye play that before the end of the group stages or even the semi finals.

:confused:

Edit: I see you have that listed above as "to be fixed".

The Bray Rovers match from this week has been rescheduled for the 7th of October.

I can see us co-operating if Pats ask to move the match but I don't see where it'll fit in.

Also, Harps might not want to move the Pats game seen as they lost out on a lot of money when there home match against Drogs was moved.

True but some games have to be played before other games - FAI CUp quarter final before semi final & Setanat group game before semi final - plus the season has to end,

Anyway nobody complained about playing them, I'm (not the club) saying that there's load sof games to be fixed and I was looking to see how other clubs wered fixed.

But you know before you enter them you may progress in the said competitions and you have games in close proximity to each other. If you can't deal with one game being called off then don't enter what joke total over reaction of a thread.

Who's over reacting to anything? I jsut asked how other clubs are fixed to see could I see where games will be fit in. Where did anyone complain about the amount of games?

Oh and I repeat, you're an absolute ****

i have sympathy for Pats, especially thier fans, travel etc. but Pats are full time professionals, so it should be no problem,success breeds its own problems, sure itll give Derek O Brien a run out ;)

As of this morning we had 12 outfield players available. Lots of knocks over recent weeks.

23 players in total though and tbh Johnny Mac doesn't seem to mind a build up of games. Problem is trying to fit them in.

Which would you prefer ? To be in your position going for the League, FAI Cup, Setanta cup still in the UEFA cup or the likes of Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers who have nothing to play for till the end of the season.
There are still 10 weeks of the season left so it looks like Pats will have two games a week.

Absolutely ours. But AGAIN its not about that, the thread was started so I could try figure out when the games will be played.
