sounds fair enough.
this is not a wind up message just a statement of fact to clear up an debate after the league cup game:
on penalties the laws of the Game provide that in ALL cases it is at the discretion of the referee which end is used for penalty kicks (common sense dictates that the ref takes into account condition of goal, security issues, lighting etc when deciding)
There is NO toss of a coin involved in selection of the end for penalties only in the decision of the team to go first.
(From July of this year a new ruling was introduced that the team that wins the toss can elect to go second)
In this case the head of security at the game advised the referee aet that the turnstile end would be dangerous to hold the penalties as the stadium security line is that patrons congregateing in large numbers on the fence behind the hill would be dangerous in the event of goal celebrations etc
accordingly the ref agreed and the stadium security sent their staff to cordon off the area behind the shed goal....which they did successfully
Thats the gospel truth from the people involved.
Take from it what you will but it aint an anti dolan conspiracy or anything remotely like it
sounds fair enough.
I got the above from a qualified ref who knows their stuff
Leaving aside the issue that Head of Security not exactely unbiased it wouldn't be necessary to deem one end "unsafe" if ye moved with times & upgraded the mud to at least gravel bankOriginally posted by wws

Me thinks i'm walking into an "...its Dolan fault...." reply
sounds fairly reasonable I guess, but just a little aside. If that head of security you're talking about is the guy with the beard, then he is the most unmitigated w@nker it has ever been my displeasure to encounter at a football match. Pats will never get anywhere when you have power-tripping egomaniacs like him throwing their weight around
I know the guy you're talking about now. Yeah he's head of security and also pats main architect (as well as a shareholder) and I've had a few "discussions" with him over various things. Yeah, he's a ****erOriginally posted by Éanna

You should like him, he doesn't like me either...

pats have no say in the matter
the security firm recognised and recommened by the fai
is employed by ALL Dublin clubs
and there is no other firm thats
queing up to do the job
If its the same guy who went to the shed just before the penalties, then it is who I'm talking about (I don't think he looks like Chuck Norris in the slightest but there you go...)Originally posted by wws
