no human error here. newmarket celtic were togged out on the pitch with their red and white jerseys at 1. 45. bunratty must have been blind if they didnt see the colour of the newmarket jerseys. bunratty didnt arrive on the pitch until 2. 05. why did they wait until this time to send someone for the second set of jerseys. Bunratty did not want to play this game yesterday and by the team they had out its easy to see why. i hope they get a massive fine and newmarket awarded the 3 points. i missed tulla's great win in the park yesterday to go and watch this shambles
am a soccer supporter to be honest and i thought this would be the best local game on this weekend. as for my beloved tulla i think this issue has been discussed quiet enough last week and dont want to drag it up again. leave it up to the clare league now to sort it out.
what crap are u talkn about bunratty wanted to play the game and what u mean the team they had out that was there full team so i dont no where u are comming up with this from...It was a mistake from the manager they got the kit mixed up..when ever did bunratty shy away from a match (NEVER) so take your comments some where else and worry about tulla
You really need to get the facts on this, Newmarket were on the pitch togged out correct. Bunratty's new gear is a darker colour than Newmarkets. Bunratty didn't see the need for a second set, the referee arrived at 1.58. He then decided jerseys were too similar(his opinion). Bunratty scrambled around to get another set. The second set were the mixed up set from the cleaners. With this Bunratty went away and got a third set, this took up to 2.25 to arrive. At this time the referee was going out the gate. In terms of the team being put out, they had a full panel with the exception of Brian Donnellan.
fair enough and sorry for upsetting you. i thought bunratty were a stronger side than that which was put out yesterday. but could you answer me as to why nobody from bunratty went looking for the second kit until 2. 05?????????
disreguard last post. tks for clearing matters up platini. by the way as a neutral in my opinion d jerseys were too similiar. leave ref out of this as he made the correct callto leave
Has anyone seen the state of Cooraclare's pitch ?
Newmarket B played a third division league game there yesterday.
The grass wasn't even cut and was a foot long in places (I'm not exaggerating), the person who lined the pitch obviously had a few too many pints (there were 2 parallel lines about 15 yards along one sideline) and the goals were ready to fall apart (thank god nobody hit the woodwork).
Compared to that pitch, Newmarket's ballycar pitch last year was premiership standard.
Can anyone explain why these two teams were forced to play on this joke of a pitch ?
Newmarket played well (considering the circumstances) to come away with a 1-0 win, but for any team to have to play on that surface is ridiculous.
Could someone advise , is it not the home team that the onus is on to change their gear if their visitors away gear is too similiar to the home teams home set. I seem to remember Newmarket having to change to the third set of blue jerseys a few times down through the years because of colour clashes. It could be just the memory playing tricks with me in my old age.
I'll update this next year.
you could be right .. but i am in old age stage as well ,, usually easier for home team to change gear also
" football is a simple game "
it is a joke .. was out watching a match last year ,,, warm cows**t everywere on pitch & pitch extremly bumpy even then goals looked like falling down ... have a look at referee on your next home game it newmarket i bet he checks everything nets , paces out pitch etc..
" football is a simple game "
The only relevent facts are that Bunratty were at fault and didn't have proper gear... The kit that bunratty came out in was in all fairness too similar to Newmarket's and would have made it tricky to tell between the jerseys. And the 2nd set bunratty brought up was almost identical to Newmarket's
Bunratty lucky this was league cause if a report went to Munster or FAI with a story like this they would loose the game.
"You'll not see nothing like the Shelbourne team"
As name suggests, I am old school too. However, up to a few seasons ago at any rate, it was the home team that needed to change in the event of a colour clash. (Imagine for example Cooraclare/Moher arriving to O'Briens Bridge to find that Bridge Celtic had changed strip for new season and there was a clash). Much easier for home team to change. I remember one occasion where we were away team and home team didn't have a second strip available. We ended up turning our jerseys inside-out because our lining was white whereas other teams was blue inside and out. Different times but at least game was played. BTW Cooraclare's pitch has always been a disgrace. No regard for the basic requirements whatsoever and yet they get away with it every season.
It seems a bit strange to me that Bunratty and Newmarket wear the same colours. I would have assumed that given their local rivalry and frequently meeting each other they would have different colour jerseys.
It doesnt matter what colours anyone wears the rule is the home team changes if their strip clashes with the visitors registered colours and Newmarkets colours are red for the last 30 years at least.
"You'll not see nothing like the Shelbourne team"
so technically it was newmarket at fault last weekend then.with jersey clashes .
" football is a simple game "
Rule 48 of the CDSL clearly states that..........so technically it was newmarket at fault last weekend then.with jersey clashes .
In the event of 2 teams, in a fixture, having the same registered colours, the home team/club shall change, otherwise the fixture may not take place and the home team may lose the points or be fined.
The problem here is that when a club gets a new set of sponsered gear, it may be differant from what the club was previously wearing and the club may not have informed the League of the colour change.
This however was not the problem here as Newmarket were the away side and like a lot of contributers to the thread, Newmarket have played in Red for as long as I can remember also.
Why does this problem not arise when Newtown play Avenue, simply because both teams know they wear the same colours but have sensible, responsible people running their clubs who avoid a clash of colours.
Anybody from Bunratty that did not know that Newmarket play in RED must have just moved into the parish last weekend.
