so your saying bertie is to blame , for the booming celtic tiger economy allowing more young people to afford houses taking them away from the football fields

There must be some seriously rich 22/23 year olds in town. I don't know one 22/23 year old who can afford a house. That is the worst post of the thread, absolute rubbish!!

In fairness Sees It has a point, but maybe not at 22/23, I'd say more like maybe 25ish.
I know more than a handfull of blokes at 25 or so taking mortgages out to buy houses.

My own opinion still stands as a lack of interest from some players point and regardless of what day or time the games are on, some players will still go on the p*ss the night before a game.

very hard to do if all your mates go out on saturday night, and if you have to get up for work on monday....sometime you have to make the sacrafices and some people aren't willing to do that for whatever reason, thats life it all boils down to priorities it clearly does;t mean that much people if they cant have a couple of pints then get home at a decent hour

If lads are buying houses at that age then the chances are they will be flat broke most weekends. lads with houses and that crack will play more soccer when they have the house than when they had no financial obligations. 100euro to go out for a night.

It's more of a reason to play soccer if anything. The reason i think is sunday morning kick off. Your hands are tied behind your back for the weekend. You can do f-all. Cant go away unless you have a free-weekend, cant go for a pint on Saturday with your mates, cant have a few pints Saturday due to work commitments on the morning...

Having games on saturday morning would have the same problems if not worse..most people who work mon-fri jobs want to go out for pints on friday nights..its split between fri and sat nights.refs wont take matches on sunday afternoons and people work saturday....its a no win situation!
