We can fulfil our duties, it's outsiders who want it switched. We're not happy about it either.Originally Posted by Rovers1
Another result of the 10-team league madness. Cram all the games in in the shortest possible time, then change them at will.

I predict we won't lose in tallaght on friday night
63.00
game switched to Tolka 7pm Saturday.H&S reasons due to Madrid game.
Let se how many shams fans travel to tolka for this
Has it be put back again to saturday? Same time for kick off?
This is showing an unbelievable disregard for LoI fans. What about those who were organising a bus or had arranged for a couple of hours off to travel up on Friday? I suppose these people, your dedicated supporters, don't matter anymore. If they ever did.
I agree, Shams should be sanctioned for this. It's their ground as they love to tell us. If they can't have their sh1t together then they should be punished. Real Madrid game or no Real Madrid game.
This will clash with the GAA in Kerry now as well. Nice one guys.
Balls to this anyway! Gonna miss the game now!
Fcuk off Real Madrid!
Nothing to do with us. SDCC shut the ground, the FAI rearranged the game, yous have a game to watch in Dublin this weekend.Originally Posted by dong2008

We're not the only club cramming in friendlies into an already congested league programme.

But you are the only club cramming in friendlies that will **** with the league programme.
The day before a game is ridiculous.
Agreed!!...except with the Gaa comment..couldnt care less about the turfball..Have had to switch getting Saturday off to getting Friday off and now back to getting saturday off again!!..plus have to haed into town now instead of just heading down the M50...obviously understand the financial worth of the Madrid game and it is good for the profile of the league in some respects but it should'nt affect us proper fans like it has done.
Sorry but it has everything to do with Shamrock Rovers FC. Ye wanted the friendly (for obvious reasons). Ye wanted it played at Tallaght ( again for obvious reasons ) and now ye can't hold a league game on the night it was supposed to be held...
It makes a mockery of the whole thing. Think about it. What if every team organised friendlies in this manner and then couldn't host their league games when they were supposed to be held?
An announcement from the FAI the day before is the most infuriating part though...
But that's not your fault
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Those of us with a memory will remember when league games were postponed altogether due to clubs holding glamour friendlies. The game is going ahead this weekend, on a night which will allow more of yiz to attend the game.
If there was another stadium capable of hosting Real Madrid at the moment, it would have been chosen. As it is, Tallaght is the only vaguely suitable venue, and only we play in Tallaght.
2 years ago, we had a trip to Sligo which was changed at the last minute to facilitate tv, ruining many fans travel plans. That wasn't your fault, and this isn't ours.

For the record I wasn't blmaing Rovers
I was laughing at your pathetic ten team league excuse.
Rovers are being screwed by platinum and their landlords. Nothing they can do

End of the day, it's down to the FAI and their poor handling of the league. They should have seen this coming as soon as the Madrid friendly was organised, they were told on the 9th that the SDCC wanted to close Tallaght. WHY did they wait till the 16th to announce it!?
