Bray vs. Dundalk, Good Friday - New Kick-off time.

**holidaysong** · 23/03/2009, 11:14 AM

Just to let you know that our website has confirmed that Bray have changed the kick-off time of this match to 4pm.

So, what's the story with this early kick off time? Surely it won't do much for the attendance..

To get it over and done with is suppose...

Last time we played a game on good friday was against Shamrock Rovers 2 seasons ago and it was one of our biggest league crowds ever.

Sure there isn't too much else to do on a Good Friday. Did that one kick off at 4pm? It seems strange though, as not everyone will be off work or off early on a Good Friday..

very unusual KO time.... a lot of people will still be working... stupid in my opinion. even a 6pm start would have been better...

but anyway, i think if we perform (like the way we played against pats) we will win. dont rate dundalk that much, yes they have a few good players but they have the worst manager!!!!

hope there is a big crowd and every gets behind the team....

MMMM.... Might pop up to this myself seen as i'm still on holidays. Is it still 15 quid in?

**lowflyingseagul** · 09/04/2009, 4:44 PM

i think they have predicted the ESB power to go again

so 4pm is safer

**Hulsey** · 10/04/2009, 10:56 AM

I heard that the guards asked for it to be brought forward to avoid people drinking down the beach before hand. Stupid if thats the reason just means anyone who was gonna do it will start earlier than they would have for a later kick off anyway.

A difference of two halfs.. first half we should have been 3/4 up, stupid goal to give away a silly peno. kelly had a bad game today ok he made and scored the peno but overall he was bad. Deansy again had a good game, foran had a few moments but not too bad overall.The second half we did'nt play at all, i think when flood went off and coughlan came on we dropped big time, coughlan did'nt have a good second half and also mulroy did'nt get into this game.. on the positive we did not loose and we created chances, even though we hit the cross bar five times..

**Weatherman** · 10/04/2009, 5:45 PM

i admit im not his biggest fan n iv slated him a number of times but john flood is coming good, he's a big part to play this year. getting better with every game, and fitness wise he's improving. could have two goals today.

**superfrank** · 10/04/2009, 5:57 PM

We played really well today. We should've won that one. Dundalk can thank the woodwork, that's the only thing that kept them in it.

Agree about Flood. I've never rated him but he's putting in a lot of good work and his fitness is very impressive.

Wouldnt say his fitness is impressive now, he was wrecked in the 1st half, but has i said its improving. delighted to see fabio back aswell, legend!!

.

And Bray can thank the ref for that "peno". One of the worst decisions i have ever seen and also how was it not a backpass at the end to your keeper?
Talk about giving home team decisions.
Having said that we were lucky to have escaped with a point with you hitting the post 4 times

**tippex** · 10/04/2009, 7:14 PM

I'll reserve judgment till I have seen the peno incident again but from my angle I think it was given for handball when your defender was on the deck. Although I thought it was more like ball to hand.

**Louth4sam** · 10/04/2009, 7:19 PM

He slid in and won the ball and his momentum brought him onto the ball. In all my years watching football I have never seen a peno given for that.

**lowflyingseagul** · 10/04/2009, 7:26 PM

dont think it was a peno , the ball touched his arm but he had his arms tucked into his body so not much the defender could do.
i thought it was a pretty poor turn out from our crowd. dundalk on the other hand brought plenty.
hitting the woodwork 4 times was unlucky. how we missed a couple of the chances i'll never know.
a draw was a fair result. buttimer is a shocking referee.
