The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Galway's pitch was in an awful state!
good old Paul Doolin telling people how football should be played

Didn't know only league players will be picked for the under 23 team. Doolin will get the best out of them hopefully.
Good oul Freddie the Fingal Fox showing how dancing should be danced

Anyone know when that squad is going to be picked or suggestions for inclusion?Originally Posted by Declanus
'And Crouch must score'
I'd hazard a guess he meant that the very bad nature of the pitch led to an unstable surface which might have impacted on Sullivan's injury. That's just a wild, wild guess. Great to see Sligo Rovers love affair with MON continuing after last week's even more laughable attempt to paint him as a panto villain for rather mundane stuff.
And yes, Tallaght's pitch is in bad knick tonight which is why we're not playing on it. And it's nowhere near as bad as Terryland. Hard to blame Galway or whoever looks after the pitch with the amount of games being played on it.
I am afraid that you have to blame the bad unseasonal weather for Terrylands pitch being the way it is.. dont forget their groundsman got the award for the best pitch in the top flight two years in a row..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
It doesn't how many awards you get and how good you are, if you have that many games played on one pitch then it simply will not hold up. It was in pretty good nick actually if there was that many games played on it.

Our pitch is usually in top notch, always a nice surface to play proper football on. However, its in bits at present, the bad weather took a severe toll, and really and truly there should never have been as many games played on it over the winter.
I still don't hold the pitch responsible for Sullivan's injury, its just the way he landed imo. Speaking of Sullivan, how bad is the injury?
To me, it looked like his knee locked when he put his foot on the surface - could happen on a carpet, nothing to do with the pitch. That said . . . . Was it lst year or the year before Liam Kearney banjaxed his leg in Terryand and Stephen Kenny blamed trhe surface? There are, IMO, far too many games played in Terryland, it hosts every Galway club final, home representative games, as well as United and Mervue games. Also a problem along the new stand touchline, the overhang of the stand meant parts of the pitch never thawed out for an age.

well its their pitch and if a local club gets to a cup final its Terryland that the want to play in ,most local clubs couldnt give a b*****ks about galway united or Mervue now as well
I recall reading somewhere that Mervue could have their own pitch and facilities if Man City would just pay the 20,000 euro compensation for Greg Cunningham.
Not being bitter about the sending off, but did it not look like Jason Byrne went down a bit too easy ?
Coleman for Ireland
Lads, the Rovers/Rovers rows are getting tiresome at this stage. Can Sligo fans stop having a go at Michael O'Neill over nothing, and can Rovers fans stop replying with "obsessed"?
(And I'm aware it's not every Sligo/Rovers fan who's posting like that)

Perhaps if you didn't "award" the title Rovers to one side it might seem a little fairer. shams/sligo should get over it and wouldn't add further fuel to the fire. Why is it such an issue people having a go at Michael O'Neill ? Never a problem when it was Nutsey or any other manager or even Roddy
Mervue haven't a notion of building a stand - they are waiting and waiting to see what happens the league after the initial 5 year FAI control is up, stories abound that league will be amalgamated into 1 division of 16 teams, with 2 feeder regional leagues from which there will be relegation and promotion. Mervue (correctly in my opinion) don't believe they will be part of this 16 team division, and therefore are not going to spend money on improvements to infrastructure that won't be needed in a regional league.
The junior clubs in Galway don't give a rat's bottom about United, so won;t be pulling out of Terryland to accommodate United.
Finally, don't agree with you on the sending off - yes Byrne went down easily, but Burns did have a hold of him, and if anything, Burns should have got a straight red for being last defender preventing a goal scoring opportunity

Different moderation standards apply to Bohs (as I'm sure you are aware) As stu says, if you have a problem with a post - report it.Stu

i agree with Infadel. Talk about hypocrisy when Doolin starts talking about how football should be played.
if you have a problem with the moderation then report the post.
It works if you work it, so work it, you're worth it!
Getting beyond tedious now, this is. Chap don't need me defending him, but Pineapple Stu didn't "award" anything, nor is there anything to award. Everyone in the country calls Shamrock Rovers 'Rovers' except for Sligo lads and Bohs fans on a wind-up. But hey don't let that get in the way of another "we're being victimised again" whinge.Stu

Strikes me it was an awful shame there wasn't a little crucifix included with the new smileys that time.
