    More fupping Dublin bias

    I hear on the radio that Shels v Rovers match on the last day of the season has been moved now from the Sunday (when supposedly every team had to play), to Friday night!!!

    wonder if they'll allow us to move our drogs match to friday night...

    Thats crap alright,was any reason given why the dub,s match is on the friday now?

    Would have been great if City had their game on friday night.Sunday games are sh*te to be honest compared to friday nights,plus Chelsea are playing man ure on sky which will effect the attendence as well.

    The idea of it is that Rovers and Shels have nothing to play for.

    City have a eurospot to play for, and in theory so do Pats. It would be unfair on US if we played Friday night and lost/drew then Pats would know on Sunday exactly what they need.

    Pats play on Thursday so we wont know til then.

    No Dublin bias, just Dublin incompetence.
    Oh no not them again

    Chrsit sake lads, will ye ever stop moaning. Its moved to sunday. Live with it. look at it this way, we'll have a damn good day out. Remember the last day of last season??????


    Also, btw, i hope the league dont allow us move the game to stop it clashing with stuping Manyoo and Chelski. If we do, itll show we, as a league, have no pride/confidence in our own pulling power. If the have to do anything, they can bring it forward by 15 mins, or get Sky to delay the game by an hour!

    Good point re having something to play for that makes a lot of sense,
    but as you said the incompetence of allowing one fixture to be changed is staggering. Make the ruling and stick with it regardless.

    it should be moved to avoid the Man Utd Chelsea game.

    surely if Cork City can get a bigger crowd and more money it's better than saying that "we have no pride/confidence in our own pulling power."

    Christ Gary, thats some comment coming from you.......


    my problem is that Friday night is Cities home night and the club is going to lose out on money with it being moved to Sunday and then they allow other teams to move theirs back to the Fri..........or put into terms that you are worried about ...it would have been a great night for a final game **** up and people wouldnt have to worry about taking the Monday off for hangover reasons...

    Variety is the spice of life fellas.

    Besides, your constant cribbing about Dublin bias, its just pathetic at this point. Get a new hobby horse. I swear to god, this season, City fans have become so uptight its unreal.

    And anyone who thinks we should move the match to accomadaye Skys premiership, well .

    cant see the logic in moving all games to a sunday anyway.

    most sides home games are on a friday night so y not make them all kick off at the same time on a friday night

    Pats Longford is on Thursday so you cant expect them to play again on Friday.

    The Dublin bias doesnt apply here, at least in this circumstance.
    Oh no not them again

    I think that's the crucial point alright.
    I would much prefer if the game was on friday but with Pats playing Thursday I suppose that can't happen as long as they've got a chance of catching us. Saturday night would have been the best night to play the game, in the circumstances, imo.
    Champions!

    The club arent moaning about it, so why should we? We have something to play for, Shams and Shels dont. The last game of the season has traditionally been played on a sunday, so why are people throwing their rattle around about it now? Its one game ( i know the opener was moved as well, but that wasnt the worst thing to ever happen us, crap game though!), so get over it. I dont think we will loose out on much money. We will get 3-4000 through the gates defo. remember, its only Drogs. Even if this were on a friday evening, we wouldnt be getting much of a crowd.

    They all got moved to sunday, because of our abandoned game against Shels that was played last night.... We already had to fit the Pats game in as well....

    Shels and Rovers have nothing to play for, and it's happened loads of times in the past. For example in 2001, we played Kilkenny after the season was officially over, as neither of us could effect the European spots or relegation...

    Did you lot complain when Sunday was your match day, and all the matches were moved, as they were?

    The last game of the season is always on Sunday and that's the way it should be. Am not surprised though that the league authorities would change that to suit Shelsbourne.

    Well in fairness they are changing to suit Rovers as its a Rovers home game. The extra crowd won't bring in one cent more for Shels

    Yeah, God is a Town fan, and me and him cooked up this cunning ploy to make it bucket down for the shels match just to p!ss Cork off

    Actually we've been effected most, as two of our games had to moved away from Saturday to Friday nights to try and finish the season this weekend (and it's pretty clear Friday night football isn't a goer in Longford).
