why would 24 hours make a difference to a ban? :confused:Quote:

We're playing Pats on the friday so there is no way we'll be agreeing to this.
it'd be nice to help but if we've pats on the friday then its highly unlikly
when have a team ever accomodated us...tell them to fup off
This is extremely unfair of A. Matthews. We have a very important game on the Friday, just as important to our season as the cup final is to Longford's. If we turn them down, we will be made out to be cnuts, yet why should we have to play 2 games in the space of 50 hours?
This is a lose/lose situation for City...:mad:
I Maybe Wrong But I Assumed That Bans Picked Up In The Fai Cup Matches Could Only Be Served Out In Cup Games .if This Is Case Then Moving The League Game Would Be Of No Use.

I don't agree with this at all y do we have to move this game to the wenday just to acomadate lford just so one of there players can playe in the cup final. I dont think so.
Lets have it played the date it is on for.
No disrespect to lford town.
I hope you win the cup for the second yer running. :(
i'd love to help longford out on this one, I really would, but not if its going to damage our chances.* I feel sorry for Ferguson, but if he hadn't got booked, he wouldn't be in that situation. Here's hoping the game goes ahead on tuesday and longford win the cup.
*= on the other hand, if playing on wednesday meant we'd get the 3 points......... :) ;)
Agree with Eanna.
I hope Longford go on to lift the cup, but with us chasing second we'll need the three day gap to the Pat's game.
Having said that, if we played on the wednesday then Ferguson couldn't play aginst us could he ;)
how does this sound. we play on wednesday if longford agree to tie digger to the goalposts and not make our lads run too much so they're not tired for friday :)
I'd like to do it if we could.
Any chance we have of strengthening Longfords chance of winning the Cup should be taken.
I mean wouldn't it be really nice for Ratnolds to end his career with no medals at all ?
Derry City used to by playing their matches @ 12pm on Sundays.Quote:

A day might not be a reasonable time but if and I mean a big IF Mathews was to say to Dolan that he'll be ummmm ....giving a few of his U-21 team a run out in the game against City with a wink here and a nodd there then i'd take it right now. Touch of the Austria .v. Germany/ Sweden .v. Denmark about it:D
If it suits city to move the game then they should avail of the opportunity. If its is a disadvantage to city then we should not do it. This is supposed to be professional football & may set a bad precedent fro moving games at a whim to "help" others. What next...deals done to fix results?
out of interest, why don't suspensions begin at the beginning of every week (Sunday or Monday). Why is this suspension beginning in the middle of the week? If all suspension were to begin on a Monday then this issue wouldn't arise.
Sur if we tie him to the goalposts we won't be able to keep ourselves entertained with Digger's dancing. ;) :DQuote:

This is obviously somebody from Longford just using the press to try and gain an advantage for their team. There's no way we should help them out by moving the game to Wednesday. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it Longford who postponed this game the weekend it was meant to be played 'cos they were playing their European game on a Thursday night?

Actually, as for Ferguson knowing he would be suspended for the cup final when he got booked, he didn't know until the day after the Drogs game, he wouldnt have known when he picked up his 8th yellow, which was in the league that the ban would kick in for the Cup Final. It's harsh but these things happen..
