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.

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,

You're an absolute ****

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.

Frank, I'd say we could move it to the Saturday/Sunday without too much hassle

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.

You're missing the point of the thread. Did you read Dodge's reply?

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 ****

**Sam_Heggy** · 05/09/2008, 1:06 PM

Our re-fixed game against Drogheda is next friday in Finn Park

You're really missing the point here.

And we've had far more than one game postponed.

Have a look at those fixtures and tell us all where the weeks are to fit in those extra games?

Especially if the advance in all the cup competitions

**Battery Rover** · 05/09/2008, 1:27 PM

You can add on to that a possible replay against Sporting Fingal which apparetnly seems top be set for Friday 26th September

**Rovers Maniac** · 05/09/2008, 1:27 PM

Your either on the wind up or you're thick as f*ck, more than likely both.

**Rovers1** · 05/09/2008, 1:30 PM

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

how big is Pats squad?
