    Disgrace how? It is still under UEFA licence. It has passed tests a lot of pitches in the country would fail.
    Lets be honest we'd all like to play on good grass pitches but an artificial pitch is better than a bad grass pitch. Monaghan's was shocking the other night. Hard to pass the ball a few feet without it bobbling.

    When was the test last passed? Has it been serviced in the off season?

    It's disgraceful as all the little black beads come up to the top and if it is not serviced then it slows the ball down and it doesn't run through. I play on the exact same standard of all weather and when it is serviced it is phenomenal to use.

    Test passed last season and lasts two years. I actually think the old pitch was better but it wasn't up to full UEFA standards. I think the problem is it needs to be watered regularly and wasn't before matches at the end of last season. If it's not watered pitch plays very slow.

    Sligo should be seriously pissed off at that. Never a red, never a free for our goal. Will take it though :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,505 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    Monaghan and Shelbourne should have a Pat Dolan rolling competition in order to fix their fields.

    Defo a red from Quigley. Got the ball for the free, both feet left the ground though from what I saw.

    That freekick for cheesesteaks goal is one of the worst decisions I have seen in a while. The Shels player wasn't even near Ventre FFS! He ran into the side of him. Shocking ref.

    There's a difference between both feet leaving the ground to win the ball and both feet leaving the ground after winning the ball.

    With the benefit of the Shels TV highlights it certainly looks like both feet are off the ground from start to finish. He did get the ball, no doubt about that. If it was against Shels, I'd probably be complaining but by the letter of the law the ref has probably called it right. Playing the ball first is not the only consideration when a ref has to call a decision.

    I'm watching MNS now. Maybe I'm on another planet but I didn't think Martin's tackled deserved a red for Bohs, Ventre's tackle was a foulf for Hughes' goal and Quigley's was deserved.

    EDIT: Seeing the replay Quigley's does look a red.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,693 Mod ✭✭✭✭dfx-


    I never thought I'd see Hawkins score for Rovers

    Martin's tackle was red. From what I hear, Bohs team thought so too.

    With the benefit of nearly being right in line with it from the New Stand (granted it's a bit away), it was definitely a red. Mind you it was never a freekick that resulted in our goal, was sussy about it on Friday and MNS/ShelsTV proved it definitely wasn't.


    ShelsTV highlights are here: http://shelstv.com/ and will be for every Shels match this season as usual for those of you interested/miss games.

    I was standing directly behind Quigley when he made the 'tackle'. He controled the ball badly and deliberately kicked out at an opposition player when he realised he'd lost it. Red all day long.

    Nothing wrong with Danny's tackle. He'd thrown himself about a bit before that too and I think the ref gave the free and card as a warning. Shels took advantage, great strike.

    North soccer fans' bus smeared with excrement after Sligo match


    SEVERAL buses carrying Glentoran football fans were broken into during a match in Sligo and human waste was left on one coach.

    A woman's handbag, house and car keys and coats were stolen in the incident as the Belfast club played Rovers in the Setanta Cup competition last night.

    All buses carrying fans from Glentoran supporters' clubs were escorted inside the Showgrounds to what was believed to be a secure car park before the match.

    Excrement was smeared along the floor of one of the buses during the break-in.

    Local gardai are investigating after officers at the ground received one complaint of theft and a full statement was being taken today.

    It is believed the buses were broken into through the emergency exits while the match was on.

    Glentoran were beaten 2-0 by Sligo Rovers in the quarter-final tie.

    Shels double dummy for their free kick was quality :P

    Gilbert looks solid for us already :) Drogheda were too hoofy.

    RT @hagan_utv: Correction: Glentoran fans bags rifled when bus broken into in Sligo. Intruders defecated on seats. Sligo fans not involved.

    Disgusting behaviour matter who did it.

    No doubt in my mind that this was not done by our fans. It happened during the game. Celtic jersey wearing scumbags at a guess.

    Doesn't matter who did it though, its disgusting and inexcusable.

    Was it Celtic fans spitting at Kavanagh last week as well?

    Why can't the League of Ireland have its own forum? ( Fecking Spurs have one ).

    I know foot.ie is out there, but nobody likes me there :-(

    Even from a point of view like finding out links like Shels TV to links to commentary.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,693 Mod ✭✭✭✭dfx-


    There probably could be an LOI links thread...or in the behemoth that is the LOI rumours thread...

    drea...Pats' Commentary, commentary from Derry radio for Brandywell games, SRFCTV/commentary, ShelsTV, Dundalk radio commentary etc.

    Even the following would suffice.

    LOI links

    LOI rumours.

    LOI current match schedule.

    LOI old match schedule ( merged from above )

    It was hilarious looking back at the goal on ShelsTV and seeing one of the Sligo players break from the wall and be three yards closer to the ball without anyone touching it. He moved one way, then the other and had absolutely no ideas what was going on. :pac:

    hurray for that thread, iv basically given up on the soccer forum. have a quick look every so often but otherwise that thread kept my boards loi needs all winter. the our own club forum supplies the rest
    i get the idea of not wanting to break up the forums but soccer is just too big to leave as one... its probably the biggest outside of AH and maybe motors but AH is a general thing and motors is nicely split up and just easy to find what you want

    Totally agree. Foot.ie does serve a purpose though, as a kind of holding cell for gobshlts

    So has anyone got a list of Friday's attendances and also how does everyone think the co-efficient will fare after Europe this year? These are the important stats, not goals scored, points or anything like that.
