Not quite how it happened, though the outcome was the same!
Pretty sure the club were set to appeal Dean Reidy's card, on the grounds of mistaken identity, as there was clear (almost comically clear) video evidence that he was not involved in the fracas for which he was sent off.
Not altogether sure whether they went ahead with that or not, but in any case the referee's assessor's report exonerated Deano, but cited the second twin, and that's how he got the retrospective red.
As a surely unrelated aside, three of the four officials - the referee, linesman on that side, and fourth - took no part in the following weekend's games.

BTW, can I f*** work from on high for making me miss a cracker at Lissywoolen!

They were good value for the win, could have been two or three up after ten minutes, City got back into it after a lengthy stoppage for an injury to Dunleavy but were too sloppy to all night.

I don't think cork are out of it. there is still plenty of time for them to recover.

This weekends fixtures were always going to be pivotal. Considering the form that Limerick & Derry are in it was no guarantee that Cork or Dundalk would win. Bray are on good form and probably were very difficult for pat, Longford with their ex hoops will always roll over to them.

Mondays games are massive now. Dundalk v Pats, Rovers v Cork. I feel- that Pats & Rovers both must win to have any chance of catching us.

Even the Derry Sligo game is mouth watering too. Drogheda are in serious trouble probably the biggest losers tonigh

They are in free-fall.

Had a feeling all day we wouldn't win tonight but didn't see it happening as it did. Limerick started brilliantly and deserved to go ahead. We came back Into it after dunleavy went off injured. Terrible night for us with the other 3 all winning. No two ways about it we must win on Monday.

**pineapple stu** · 14/08/2015, 9:31 PM

Was shaping up to be a good weekend for us at half-time - clearly better against a half-decent Cobh side while Wexford were losing and Harps were level.

Quite annoying for Wexford and Harps to take wins, especially Wexford in the manner they did.

Still, beating Athlone on Monday is what it's all about now.

Also worth noting 9 1-0s in a row for Bray now!

Funny old league.

Last week Cork fans were celebrating on social media like they won the league. Now it's all doom and gloom.

There are still a lot of points to play for and more unexpected results to come.

Yeah Bray certainly put it up to us tonight. They gave us a tough old game and hit the crossbar right at the end, could definitely have taken a point, though we had a few chances to sew it up with a second. We missed Ger O'Brien and Ian Bermingham tonight.

That was a tense, but really exciting encounter in Finn Park. Real end to end stuff for quite a lot of the game.

I almost forgot what it was like to celebrate a goal scored.

Barring a major screw up by one of the top three, it's hard to see anyone else sneaking into a play-off now with 6 games to go.

Question for Cork fans - your second goal came from a corner, which came about from a clearance after the keeper spilled the ball in a collision with a Cork player, who stayed down a while.

It looked to me as if that Cork player simply refused to go off the pitch after receiving treatment, and that the referee, after making two or three attempts to make him leave, just gave up and let him stay on. Was that what actually happened, or was it something else?

**avvenalaf** · 15/08/2015, 12:11 AM

Direct your question to Jose at Chelsea.

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 15/08/2015, 3:11 AM

Finally got John Russell back

Ref stopped him going off. Seems if keeper gets treatment as well, neither player has to leave the pitch. Beattie was confused by ref, tried to head for sideline, endline...

Really?

That would explain it alright, although I never heard that rule before. I didn't actually think our keeper got treatment either.
