    Genius ideas

    Up in Glenavon last night and 20 minutes before kickoff a lad went tru all the bars (4 of them i heard) and handed out photocopied team sheets.

    Bloody brilliant idea shame we couldnt do it down here as our clubs incapable of handing them in on time.

    Cos they give out the teamsheets as soon as the ref gets them.

    Honestly didnt think that needed explaining, but there you go some people just dont get the simple things.

    Hardly genius though? Sure what difference does it make getting the team sheet 20mins before the game, go to the game before k/o and you'll hear the team being called out.

    If this happened in the cross, the only result would be a thousand paper airplanes flying around. I think the 2 announcements are enough

    What if no one heard them or was late coming in, how could they know instead of looking at pitch figuring out who is there.

    But if they were late, wouldn't they have missed them being handed out too?

    No because they'd be handed out in the pub and the reason they're late is because they were in the pub

    This is possibly the only thing I've never ever heard a complaint about re: the match day experience. Kudos, Pats fan, kudos.

    So were supposed to print and hand out a few thousand sheets for the few people who are late and can't ask the person next to them or figure it out from looking at the pitch?

    I dunno, I just don't really see the point

    therein lies the difference, that wouldn't be a problem at some other clubs

    Take that plural back...

    Anyway, Glenavon's ground was absolutely superb. A model for what Irish grounds should be.

    I'd say a good 80% of the people that were handed the team sheets threw them away, so not that great an idea really. And just think of the poor trees
