Is that confirmed? Bad news.

In fairness to the Galway fan Kearney is well known for falling over very easily!

It was definitely hand ball but it was NOT in the box. End of story.

Not sure; the pole was in the way for me. I thought McFaul was just all over Killer (I think?) and pulled him back. Then at half time, I heard people talking about the handball, so I assumed that was there as well. Maybe it was only a handball.

Sounds like it's true.

I heard bad ligament damage to Molloy's ankle and Kearneys ankle is broken.

Sadly, & it happens a lot here, you took me up wrongly.

It was obvious from before the first goal that Liam Kearney was in bother. I singled him out only to highlight the failure of your dug out to withdraw him in time. He'd had several visits from the trainer before half time. Yet you still put him out to play the second half, only to withdraw him within a minute. I'm sorry for him facing a long lay off, but questions about whether or not the injury was agrravated by failing to withdraw him early are over to you.

Nowhere did I infer time wasting either. Derry were better all over the park & McCallions introduction definitely worked in your favour, but your boys spent far more time looking for and receiving attention than any other side I've seen home and away for a very long time.

Expecting around 6000 for tonight's game, weather is holding off so that's a plus. Sunshine forecast for evening.

**SunnySweeney** · 29/05/2009, 2:30 PM

why is there an international match clashing directly with the domestic league programme? (apologies if this topic has been covered before)

**adamd164** · 29/05/2009, 2:35 PM

Because the FAI don't take the league seriously themselves.

**Candystripe** · 29/05/2009, 4:30 PM

Update; Liam Kearney has a broken leg/broken tibia!!!! Barry Molloy has ankle ligament damage,Higgins has a swollen/twisted knee,Grey has damaged his hip and finally Ciaran Martyn has a dead leg!

Thats is four midfielders in one game!They are blaming the sandy pitch I hear.

**MariborKev** · 29/05/2009, 4:32 PM

Naw they aren't

SK was asked about it, he said there was a lot of sand on it but is was just coincidence.

I thought he said "maybe it was just a coincidence"?

I was driving through crazy traffic at the time so as usual I'll give you this one.

Wow, and I thought Pats had bad luck with those 2 broken legs in the one game earlier this season. I think we have a new winner here.

RTE can't be arsed to run a radio show each Friday night consisting of various commentators giving updates via the free WIFI hotspots in League stadia or via Mobile Phone - citing "finance problems" as the sole reason to cut the coverage of the domestic League.

But they magically spring into action to give live coverage of a meaningless friendly at the end of the season played by the National Team at home IN LONDON.

The mind well and truly runs riot

If all those injuries had happened on our pitch we would never hear the end of it.

You'll be pleased to hear then that RTÉ are not showing the match- Sky Sports is.
