Nein. Pitch waterlogged. Yellow weather warning in Donegal and a lot of rainfall overnight and this morning.

Was only a matter of time before a game would be called off up there.

Fancy feckers

Plastic pitch would solve the problem at a fraction of the cost and you'd get a designated thread on foot.ie thrown in!

Fair play to Harps getting it sorted early, would have been a nightmare if people traveled up only to find out when they got there that it was off

**sulywaterfordfc** · 01/04/2016, 5:35 PM

Blues v Cobh off water logged pitch

**wonder88** · 01/04/2016, 6:32 PM

No surprise that games are off, heavy rain overnight right till early afternoon here in the west.

**Jofspring** · 01/04/2016, 6:51 PM

With most junior soccer leagues going months without games it just shows how easily LOI could be the same if we went back to winter football.

**nigel-harps1954** · 01/04/2016, 6:56 PM

Shocking pitch in the RSC, should never be used.

In other unsurprising news, Dundalk 1-0 up on Derry. Not a huge crowd in there, Derry fans only coming in the gate now, was thinking it was strange there'd only be around 20 Derry fans such a short trip down the road.

**Jofspring** · 01/04/2016, 7:27 PM

Holy ****, Shiels just complained about the positioning of the dugouts........again!

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 01/04/2016, 7:29 PM

I'd hate to sit in his seat in the living room. He'd go ballistic if he couldn't see the TV properly.

**nigel-harps1954** · 01/04/2016, 7:32 PM

Just bust my hole laughing at that. What a gobsh!te.

**White Horse** · 01/04/2016, 7:40 PM

Good first half. Derry are working harder than any away team I've seen in Oriel Park in the last year. It'll be interesting to see whether they can keep it. They're not creating anything though.
