QuoteMervue should make Wallace and his pink team warm up down the Plots when they come to Galway. ****in muppet
Here we go again and its only the 2nd match of the season! lucky for Waterford Kerly's not in charge of ye or it would have cost them 3 pts.
Wallace thinks he's Irelands answer to Morinho.

In fairness Mick set the precedent for acting like a baby , from what I hear he practically kicked the Waterford United team and staff out of the clubhouse after the game . Is that how they do it in Italy mick?Originally Posted by Youths4Ever
he did set the precedent in am not disagreeing with that but what I heard said was unwarranted as for kicked out that is a bit OTT.
Some of the Waterford players came up to get food and where told then where not getting any made some comments some of which where made to staff who where doing as then where told and left the building then a Waterford official came up. He and Wallace had heated words and then Waterford official left.

If ye won't train on the back pitch ye are not getting food after the game. What a childish thing to say and do. He's a big baby.
I am a Blues fan.
And in my opinion, this is not the first time I've heard this problem. Obviously if there is poor visabilaty at the training ground Wallace will have to install better flood lights. And as regards his attitude with teams training on the main pitch, if the training pitch is unplayable, obviously the opposition would have to train on the main pitch.
Christ this gets worse.
Still, has to make a name for himself somehow I guess, where's all the people who called him a decent and honourable man when he did this to Limerick last season
In fairness Jebus I think most of us accepted Wallace was making a show of himself the last time and now he's just become a complete laughing stock. There are plenty of admirable qualities about the man but there are some fairly obvious flaws to his character too, he keeps too many personal vedettas and refuses to compromise if he thinks he's right, even when he's blatantly wrong, often at a personal cost, there's plenty of examples of him losing business over his views.

As always Mr. Passing, I leave it to you to explain what I think without getting too bogged down in the getting personal aspect.
I have an awful lot of time for any man who sees football as his life's passion, puts his money where his mouth is, when there is NEVER a chance of return, yet has flaws like the rest of us.
Not perfect, but then again, who is
Interestingly the FAI changed their rules this year because of what happened with Limerick last season......
Warm-up/Warm-down
18.19 Each team in a fixture is entitled to the use of the match pitch for warm-up and warm-down purposes, unless otherwise agreed between both Clubs.
18.20 In order to protect the surface of the match pitch players shall not warm up on the match pitch until 60 minutes before the time of kick – off. Managers and Coaches should endeavour to minimise damage to the playing surface during the warm up.
18.21 In order to protect the surface of the match pitch the warm down period must not exceed 15 minutes
Henderson was perfectly right in asking to warm up on the pitch. I was in Wexford last night and there was no visiblity on the back pitch so they could only warm up on the main pitch.
What happened after the match was childish at best!!!!
I understand Wallace told Beat102 that Waterford were disrespectful but rules are rules and he is wrong!

What happened to the super doober billion watt floodlights he installed?No Limerick fans in yet? Its a wonder
You would have thought that Wallace would have learned from last season, every team going there this year will be prepared for it now a la Henderson, fifa guidelines a go go.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
he ran out of 50cent coins for the meter !
Often an issue at Irish League grounds. Interesting to see it has been covered by your rules though the last bit of 18.20 is a bit ambiguous.
yep it is very interesting. after going against limerick last year and awarding the points to Wexford and a fine, they (fai) then changed the rules so to agree with limerick. tail wags dog etc

They didn't change the rule to agree with Limerick, they introduced a rule to solve a problem that had never arisen before.
I'm told that this rule was never brought to the attention of our stewards until presented with it on Friday night. That's very poor on our part and a bit of communication could have prevented it.
Anyway, I think it is sorted now and I believe the 15 warm up on the main pitch is to be scheduled for all visiting teams. I don't expect our players to be warming up on it though, which is a shame
This recession is clearly causing problems for us all Terry...
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Can you limit it to a 15 minute warm up? The rule seems to indicate that they can warm up for nearly 1 hour before the game if they wish.
if it is now in the rules that teams are entitled to warm up on the match pitch then hendo was spot on and wallace is out of order but where in the rules does it say he has to feed teams...do all the clubs feed away teams after games...dont think so.
my point being by changing the rule, they have now vindicated all that limerick did (apart from not playing) in the game last season. yes it was poor communication on your clubs part not to inform your stewards but why has this not happened in most other clubs? because this prob has never existed in most other clubs perhalps? For the record, the rule states that clubs can warm up on the main ptch for upto an hour before the game and warm down for 15 mins after. Most club secs are on good communication terms with each other id imagine, and if any new rule or change to rules have been introduced then maybe a more experianced club sec would be consulted by some newer club sec in relation to this. is wallace the club sec of wexford youths as well? im sure he could have consulted with another clubs more experianced club sec on these issues.
Right, this my last comment on the issue.
I was quoting the original post when I stated that 15 mins is to be allowed for warm up. I just know that the new procedure will be adopted. Yes, poor communication led to Friday's incident causing upset. What more needs to be discussed?
As for ....all that limerick did (apart from not playing) in the game, do you not see how silly that looks?
By the way how's the progress coming along in getting Limerick's facilities to comply with the rules?
