It is riddiculous of the Guards to be using Coldplay as an excuse its hardly a potential riot situation , its basic traffic Management in the area.
As regards Security the Concert organisers will have their own security and stewarding.
Its just Lazy and the fact they dont give a **** about the league

With the early kick off Bohs/ Rovers.. Just mental to me that the league is willing to 'hide' a prime game in the morning. This should have been flagged way before as a game that could potentially be moved due to Europe, and potential consequences should have been liased on (ie Major events on in the city should have been known for that weekend before the season starts).

Total failure of administration really.

But to be fair, I think I am alone in being against morning kick offs.

It possible that they were waiting for the cup results for the Dundalk-Pats match as if both teams had it off they would have moved it to the quarter final weekend.

Right now, before the weekend, Pats are still due to play two games on subsequent nights.

Just funny to me.

The real winners are Drogheda... Either Pats play an extra game before them, or Dundalk lose an 'advantage' and face a clogged up calender later.

Moved to this Sunday. Not ideal for us but that's the cost of European progression.

We have named a mixed team for tonight’s Leinster Cup semi final v Maynooth. It’s mainly the back up first team lads and a few underage players.

We won 3-1 against a useful Maynooth side. Their goal was a lovely finish. As for us it was a mixed bag. The younglad Noonan has staked a claim for a place on the bench with an impressive performance and two goals. I’d say Kenny has a bit to chew on with who to retain for next season and who to cut from the senior players that played tonight.
