Their second goal was class.

Their third goal I thought was offiside - again not the player running through and getting the cross in, but the the two waiting in the box for the tap-in were both ahead of our last defender I thought.

Our penalty was very soft, but we should have blatantly had one earlier so I've no guilt about it.

Overall I was very pleased with the way we played, 4-5-1 was negative but appropriate and we were by no means pinned back in defence, I thought we looked comfortable for most of the match.

The final scoreline was disappointing, I thought 2-1 would have been fair and more palletable.

That pretty much sums the game up for me anyway. Longford deserved it in the end so fairplay to them, although I reckon it will sadly be Cork's cup this year
