Please note that following a rule change at the recent FAI EGM, suspensions imposed for the accumulation of five (5) yellow cards and eight (8) yellow cards only do not carry over to the next season.

Clubs should be aware of the rule change since it was amended at the EGM

In any event, a player only stands suspended when the club secretary has been formally advised

Any list circulated to the media is only an advisory list and not a formal notice

There is enough that the FAI are guilty off without spurious stuff like this

Muck isn't it?

The pitch isn't helping though.

**Dunny** · 04/03/2016, 8:26 PM

Pitch cutting up badly too.

They'll have the wind in the second half, they can bring on Patsy Freyne and langer the ball at him.

**osarusan** · 04/03/2016, 8:27 PM

Pitch looks awful.

**White Horse** · 04/03/2016, 8:33 PM

That was dreadful.

It definitely was. Historically we play better into the shed so here's hoping the poor people watching at home see an improvement. Also, it's bloody freezing

**lowroadrover** · 04/03/2016, 8:38 PM

Terrible stuff alright

Bolger looks a good addition for Cork. I also like the look of Dooley.

Cork look like they are trying to play a more possession based game. It's just not working for them at the moment.

Harps lead!!!!!

While the first half lacked many clear cut chances, it was fiercely competitive, physical and Bohs closed down really well. But there were a good few dangerous balls (mostly by Bohs it has to be said) and some decent play.

I think George Hamiltons tone sucks the life out of it on TV. You'd swear he was at a funeral. He is well able to ham it up in the Emirates, Old Trafford etc.
