What a crap start to the season.
Sligo and Pats not sanctioned to go ahead as yet due to the sleeves on the jerseys of the two clubs are the same colour
oh god:o
OhHhH god tell them to stop the sh1t its the first game of the season!!:p:eek
Ohh wait im not surprised;)
I'd feckin dock points off both sides if this does not go ahead. The league really can't afford this s**te.
dont worry pats will get there way because there from dublin:p
Bit of a joke...
Could Pats not just go Patselona for the night?
Could Sligo not bring a kit that wasn't red or white?
And if anyone hadn't guessed - the referee is a certain Mr Buttimer
rovers dont have a home kit yet:pQuote:

I wouldn't blame the ref. The rules state that both teams can't have the same colour of sleeves and the clubs know that.
what radio station are the updates on?,can you listen online?
RTE Medium Wave. Not sure about an online option.
game is underway at richmond park,6 mins gone according to Keith O'Dwyer but the game is meant to start at 7:45:confused:
dunno what game he's watching as there's no game kicked off at Richmond yet.
Sligo out in their tracksuit tops - no sign of Pats yet
whats the best Radio station to listen to this?
Not the live match but is the same as rte MW

Cant understand why white sleeves could prove such a problem for the ref! Considering its the first game of the season this could have been foreseen a long time ago instead of turning the fixture into a joke!

No sign of a kick off, teams on the pitch.
Over 15 mins late
Both sets of players with tracksuit tops on
Damien Richerdson blaming Sligo Rovers if anyone, they are meant to ring the home team apparantly
Both teams 'sticking to their guns'
sticking to their guns a euphemism for "being stubborn ****ers"
RTE just said 8.15 kick off.
I can't remember the exact rule here, but whoever is on the wrong side of it should ship one mighty fine for this one.
according to keith o dwyer,pats were asked to change their kit all there officials complained and there players went into the dressing room,came out 10 mins later in the same kit,now rovers will use st pats other kit:rolleyes:
the dubliners put up a fuss and buttimer overrules his original decision:rolleyes:
The rule seems to be that the away team must bring their 2 strips. If both clash then the home team must change. As Sligo didn't bring 2 strips they're in the wrong, as Pat's will not change so are they. What a pathetic farce.
like i said rovers dont have a home kit yet.Quote:

Because the rules say they have to bring 2 kits and they didn't.
But both of sligo's jersey's clash with pats so why would sligo be in the wrong?Quote:

Because they didnt bring two strips, If they did, the outcome would be the same but sligo would be right.
rules are rules.

this kind of thing doesnt even happen in the LSL. im confused now as to which is the amateur setup
god its half-time in other games,i'll give it 15mins and if nothing has happened it has gotta be called off.
the thing is the kits dont really clashQuote:
