Ah here - you are 1-0 down three minutes to go at the home of your biggest rival and one of the opponents throws himself onto the pitch / turf / astro / rubber or whatever ye call that surface up there - no one puts the ball out in that situation. The tackle was a potential leg breaker - bit heavy handed to deal with a 'lack of sportsmanship' as you put it.
Its always good craic chewing the fat with you Ezikeal! Good luck for the season.
Chvedukas will get a nice welcome in the X when he togs out in blue - presuming he gets his place - looking forward to it.
