I don't know the full story but the way I see it both clubs were in the wrong.
Wallace going on about Limerick being childish and saying the training pitch is the 2nd best pitch in the country behind the first pitch, just ****es me off and he should get off his high horse.
We havn't heard the end of this.. Im just worried about the imagine of the League, just seems very embarrassing. I try to convince friends Limerick are worth watching and then something like this happens :rolleyes:
Anyone who mentions Mick Wallace and Abbottstown in the same breath doesn't know the manQuote:

The referee saying he had 'no problem' with it, doesn't mean that he requested it to be done. I'm sure he would have no problem if they wanted to warm up on the astro pitches, if that is what L37 desired
Limerick are contradicting theirselves left right and centre. They arrived at six o clock for at 8pm kick-off time. The back pitch by the way is a full pitch in excellent condition. I think since Derry got the chance to train on the main pitch for the League Cup final, Limerick wanted to be the prima donnas. The back pitch fair enough if it was dark, we still had a full light huge astroturf pitch where they could warm up. The Limerick manager even submitted his teamsheet to the referee so the warm up situation was neither here nor there. The fact Mick said they were missing there 2 best players added a bit of spice to this episode, but Limerick are blaming the facilities ffs get a grip Wexford facilities are second to none. They have neen 4 times to Ferrycarrig Park, why did they not ask to use the astroturf after Mick said to the main pitch. That is question that needs to be asked as well as why did they submit their teamsheet and then pish off back home and leave their own supporters as well as our own out of pocket because of a flippin 1 hour warm up schedule, not even a professional outfit has a 1 hour training program.
The referee and his assistants actually warmed up on the side of the main pitch Limerick were also offered to do so and then left shortly after. Like when Boro didnīt "fulfill" their fixture a few years ago against Blackburn, Limerick should be fined and we should be awarded the points as their antics were childlish and least to say unprofessional in what they stated and some of their supporters on message boards across the land have said about Ferrycarraig, which most fans who have visited it say and it is also recognised as a top professional class facility.
Since the first LOI fixture at Ferrycarraig every team bar Derry City have warmed up on the back pitch to preserve the main pitch what is the big deal here at all. The facilities full catered for whatever warm up schedule a club has. Again I ask why did Limerick not ask to use the astroturf pitch which was full lighted, a normal person would have realised that option available.
While not condoning how Limerick handled the situation its a bit rich taking the moral high ground here.Your own manager(someone i had a high regard for) has tarnished yer image with his remarks.There is no evidence from what i've been told that the astroturf was offered and there's also the situation of been told to stay in the dressing room for nearly an hour while yer "officials" decided where the lads could warm up. We know our facilities are poor but we never treated any visiting teams in a shoddy manner and we always welcomed them especially yourselves who we all had a lot of time for.
I dont think either team is going to come out of this in a good light.
ON Off the balls EL show, Roddy Collins and the other guy both in agreement that it was petty on both sides but LK were out of order to leave. The proper action woul dhave been for LK to play the game, accep the compromise and then put in a formal complaint.
The most important thing was to get the game played, for that they should be punished hard.

Welcome aboard Mr Pink!
I believe the clubs had until today to submit their versions of events to the FAI, who will no doubt take a week or two to **** about.
If we all get our reports in on time hopefully we'll know by this time next week, ref has his one submitted already so they're just waiting on us lotQuote:

Forget Limerick,
great result tonight, amazing first half performance, probably the best i've seen from them, great debut from young Hopper, beautiful goals.
We were in two minds about going due to the weather but thank fuch we did.
Absolutely fabulous performance. If we'd won it 1-0 people who were not there would have said that we got a lucky goal and held on. The truth is that we totally outplayed the team I believe will recover and eventually gain promotion.
I didn't see the 1st goal as my eyes were still recovering from the blinding lights that hit me as I came down the side of the training pitch
it was coming!!just a little shocked against such a good side as dundalk,no wonder limerick ran off home!!!!:D everyone was brilliant really deserved this result,young hopper had a stormer,richie fitz emense,the supporters magnificent,happy days:D:
So thats how ye treat John Gill after the b*llox gets involved in the Wexford v Limerick row, tut tut tut :D
Not trolling here, just curious. Did Dundalk warm up on the ground where Limerick refused to last Monday; if so, was the lighting the same or has it been improved?
I could make it down last night but one of the lads on here said new lighting has been installed on the training pitch.Quote:
