Not really, though I usually try to achieve a zombie-like trance in Belfield to get me through the 90 minutes, so I wouldn't be taking in fine details like the length of the grass.
Is the lawnmower broken or can UCD not afford the petrol to run it?
Noticed the grass was very long last friday & when wet made it very slippy. Have fans of other clubs noticed this?

Revenge for 2002
Are mods allowed to make up bullsh!t and start threads because they have sour grapes?
If UCD want the grass long,it's perfectly within their rights. It probably suits their style of play and i know for sure it won't suit most opposing teams. Of course with that being said,the OP could be right and lawnmower could be just broke!
The grass isn't long at UCD. Having long grass wouldn't suit our style of play either.Originally Posted by Anto McC
How long is too long?
So everyone agreeing grass is long in Belfield?
That was a month or so ago. Anything more recent?
Though I dare say, the Cork lads are just on the wind up, and possibly excuse hunting
God
There is on Inpho, but I don't have access. It proves though that it's the policy of the club to keep the grass short.
All that proves is the grass was short 4 weeks ago.
Friday nights grass...

You best give up smokin' the grass mateThere was a lot of , what's that you Cork people call it again?, oh yes RAIN during the week !
Half the players boots are hidden by the long grass.
No they're not. I suppose that's why you can't see some of the ball either.Half the players boots are hidden by the long grass.
Cork City seem to think that teams like UCD should roll over and play dead and let them win 5-1 every time they play us. When we have the audacity not to do so they whinge moan and complain. This is another example of it.
And no you are not being ridden rock solid by University College Dublin........
Good man pete - more sour grapes from Corkies again.
The whole of the ball is quite clearly visible, and there's no evidence of Peadar's whining on the Cork forum (or am I allowed bring that up?
Would have thought a mod would have known better than to engage on obvious wind-ups. Though maybe you thought this was the Cork forum...
Time for locking, anyone?
Nah, let Pete continue to make a fool of himself and show off his immaturity.
Niced try at changing topic.
If a ball in motion was covered by the grass would be too long for rugby.
I do not know why you are bringing this up again. AFAIK you are referring to something on another forum that I have no information on... I have not discussed the match in any form.and there's no evidence of Peadar's whining on the Cork forum (or am I allowed bring that up?
At least you are debating the topic even if i disagree.
I deliberately did not enter the UCD forum to discuss dispite some obvious name calling. I am meerly asking other fans if they noticed in other games. The picture from the Limerick match clearly shows UCD vary the length of the grass from match to match.
Solution when you cannot win an argument. The least you could do is admit the grass is long & then defend your right to have the grass in that condition.
True, dmanetc.
I like the way the fan of the club who were issued a winding-up petition slag the club who were recently noted by the PFAI as the one club they've never had to deal with over not being able to afford things.
I note also that pete reckons the long grass made things slippery. A devious thing to do on our part, and probably helped us score our goal, because God knows, the Biggest Club Ireland Has Ever Known would never have conceded a goal to us in a million years otherwise. Nothing at all to do with water having slippery properties when it rests on grass, of course.
Please keep this thread on topic.
