Weekend 9th/10th Oct

You would have to ask yourself why the hell he dived in like that to tackle in the box though?

[Fivesilver]

Which rule are you referring to?

You know, Rule 17a, subsection Y: As long as you make a bit of contact with the ball, you're allowed to plough the legs from under an opponent.*

* Only applies when playing on plastic toy pitches

As a neutral, there is no way it was a penalty. He got the ball, even Sligo fans have accepted that. And he got the ball before any contact with the player.

[passerrby]

never could accept that "he got the ball ref" shout after a tackle .if the tackle was potentiially dangerous then it matters not if he was lucky or not.

As Party Saint points out Galway, our bogey team this season, could easily beat us again. It aint over yet.

Not a bogey team in Galway though. They can't easily beat youse again. A draw on the other hand through a last minute debatable penalty..

*phones John Delaney*


And what's with you lot using the word "bitter" now? Copying the big boys from Tallaght again?

As the Rovers banner said..the bitter red :)

[1st time post]

Whether or not it was a sendning off why was Foster banging on after the game about his full-back not been allowed to make 2 tackles only 39 mins in??Like surely the without doubt the first one is a yellow and when a player is on a yellow he has to be careful hence the yellow card been known as a 'caution'. Now the ref seems to interpert the 2nd yellow as been a similar offence to the first one which everyone seems to be in agreement was a yellow(again bearing in mind the dundalk fans seem to think there was minimal contact)but it doesnt matter if its the 39th, 59th or 89th minute he has to give him the yellow card if he deems it to be another bookable offence.

Talk about a storm in a tea cup.
Some of the decisions were debateable but none of them were out and out wrong, they may be perceived as harsh or strictly sticking to the letter of the law.
But the whole conspiracy drivel Louth4Sam is spewing out here is ridiculous, as a team we hold possession, Dundalk cant deal with it and so make more rash tackles than usual and thus drawing more fouls than usual.
Our lads get their free kicks and Dundalk players get their yellows, our lads dont go out fo their way to get Dundalk booked but if they are victim to rash tackles they will get what they can from them.
Its smart football, not cheating, jesus christ build a bridge and get over it.
Someone could easily be on here bitching and moaning about your teams "cheating" over their over physical style or them rileing up Mc Cabe earlier in the season etc, its just different styles of football, none of it cheating as such.

What conspiracy have I mentioned??? The ref was just poor and made poor decisions could have easily happened the other way around. Some Sligo players go down very easy you mentioned as much with your "smart football". In fact reading your post we agree with almost everything so I really don't know what your argument is or why you felt the need to join the debate.

That's the attitude I'd have Dong if it was the other way around. I wouldn't care less if we got a soft peno and man sent off cheaply. I certainly wouldn't be on here trying to justify our win.

That I can agree with. The fact is that those decisions decided the game.

However, some Sligo fans cannot bring themselves to admit that the fortuitously won the game as a result of being the beneficiaries of two debateable decisions.

Your referance to "cheating", which was a bit low tbh.

Done now?

Just watching MNS tonight, you have to say it's Bohs title signed sealed and delivered by now.
To win a league you need to be good but also lucky and in the past 2 games Bohs have had so much luck it's ridiculous.
1- They were peppered in the second half against Rovers and luck coupled with superb defending won them the 3 points.
2- Bohs v Pats - Never a penalty, Bennion saved it but it fell to Raf who smashed it in.
3- Rovers should have buried Fingal but ended up losing 2-1 with 2 crazy errors in the last few minutes.

Fair played to Bohs, they may have had the rub of the green of late but they have taken their chances.

They made a very valid point about this on Monday night, it was not a penalty IMO, We were also denied a peno against them for a much worse challenge a few days before hand which wold have handed us 3 points. Luck is certainly on Bohs side at the moment, instead of having 1 point they have 4 which has pushed them to the top of the table.

In saying that Rovers only have themselves to blame for extremely poor decision making all over the field.

Your referance to "cheating", which was a bit low tbh.

My reference to "cheating" was a quote from a Sligo poster hence the quotations. I don't consider it cheating at all. Crappy when you're on the receiving end of it but Dundalk fans were not complaining when Melligan was at it during his spell with the club in the first half of the season.
