Levelling a lot of accusations there against Bohs.
No club in Ireland uses covers, I suspect not a whole lot of clubs in the lower regions of Scotish football do either.
Dublin isn't overloaded with all weather pitches that can accomodate up to 3000 fans at short notice.
Do you think the sitution would really have been made better by shutting the bars so as not to be seen to be making money? Really?
Well there could've been an fai request to use tallaght, tolka, Richmond or even the Carlisle ground as an alternative, with pitch inspection at 8am and maybe delay kickoff to 5pm if one of the grounds was playable. None were being used yesterday as far as I know. Looks like the game will be played next week as bohs are playing finn harps the week after unless they beat East Fife.
And for the east Fife fans complaining about how bohs handled the situation most loi clubs have a lot of voluntary staff.
The blame has to go to the spfl though because they invited teams whose season is completely different to the Scottish one and hoping one of those teams, in this case bohs, got far enough to affect the fixture dates.
Could more have been done? Yes
Should bohs/spfl/fai had an alternative ground like tallaght stadium avaliable? Yes
Do I hope the EF fans get some sort of compensation? Yes
Do I hope they come in their drones for the rearranged fixture? Definitely
What's happened has happened and nothing can be done about that. Let's see if the spfl will feck it up again
