Do the suspensions come in to affect straight away? We play Pats on Monday.

Yes red cards are automatically next league game

**redarmyfaction** · 17/08/2012, 9:09 PM

A silly amount of cards again tonight.

**Jofspring** · 17/08/2012, 9:17 PM

How much is a red card worth to the FAI?

**dong** · 17/08/2012, 10:04 PM

Ref in Tolka did his best to keep Shels in the game tonight.
We should have been out of sight by half time really and got a bit disjointed towards the end but a deserved 3 points I thought.

He was pretty biased alright I thought. Shels were very poor. Struggling to think of a team we've played this season who were worse

Tommy Dunne must be on his way out at the end of the season.

Tedious draw specialists now starting to lose.

Matthews at Shels is surely ****ed as well if they've any few bob at all.

They have gone backwards alright.
My heart bleeds for Matthews and that dirty ******* Cronin.

We have been dreadful this season. I have never seen worse TBH. But the transition from 1st to Premier can be difficult and when we are not up their challenging at the business end of the season it can be hard to be motivated. I'm sure that shouldn't be the case for pro footballers but I'm sure it creeps into some of their thoughts.

I think some of our signings have been dodgy but I'd give Tommy until the end of the season to keep us up, learn from this season, and then improve the team in the close season. If we haven't improved by then, then he will be under serious pressure IMO.

I never really rated Matthews as a manager when he was at City but to be fair to him, his team have also made the same transition as City. So I'd cut him some slack until next season.

Maybe Limerick will make a donation?

**placid casual** · 18/08/2012, 9:16 AM

good wins for Rovers and sligo. cant see sligo slipping up now.
Am I right in thinking they've lost only once this season ? thats how you win leagues, in fairness

windy o'connor up to his old tricks against bray I hear, and they still lost! karma.

and the boez lost. which was nice.

I was listening to today fm at 10 and rte radio 1 at 11 and neither bothered to give the first division results on their sports news. Should the FAI or fans put pressure on media outlets to at least give out the results of the forgotten division which only takes a few seconds?

**Mark** · 18/08/2012, 11:57 AM

RTE Radio often give the First Div results , but not often. I rarely hear LOI news on Today FM and never listen to them for results.

I don't think I've seen a team in the league this season that I'd actually be confident of us beating at this stage. That's saying a lot too because the standard this season has been pretty weak.
We were awful last night. We never at any stage looked capable of getting back into the game. Most of the team didn't look interested last night anyway. Playing Stephen Hurley and Sean Byrne at right and left midfield makes no sense to me. None of Mathews changes made any real impact except for Kavanagh which was more down to individual ability more than anything else anyway. I haven't seen anything we can really build on for next season.
Sligo barely had to get out of second gear last night. I can't see anybody but them picking up the title at this stage.

League of Ireland tends to be the "and in other news" section.

It's sad to see that £24 million Rob Van Persie is all over the main headlines, first on sports news, yet the title run in, in our own domestic league takes a back seat, and of course, there's no such thing as the First Division.
