Gale force wind sweeping rain down off the mountains in Tallaght not going to be conducive to great football. It's also bloody freezing.

Off twitter, from the Athlone fans:

:D

Brennan off for Pats midway through the second half, not much doing in tonights matches it seems!

Quality - that banner entertained me more than the 90 mins of tripe I just endured at Turner's Cross!

To be fair, when it started coming down really hard both teams kept playing football.

Competent performance from Rovers. Never looked likely to concede apart from a 2-minute spell in the first half, but the usual yips started set in towards the end. Limerick seemed to determined to have a man sent off and must be disappointed to have had to wait until injury time. Ricer's missus will not be a happy bunny I fear.

Best part was coming out of the match to learn Player of the Month Killian Brennan had got his marching orders, then opening the news app on my phone to see an article entitled 'Brennan eyes pots for Pats' :D

There was no way he was going to stay on the pitch. Rarely have I seen a player so wound up.

Ref missed an elbow of his early in the game and the "tackle" on Meenan merited two red cards. It was that bad.

Pats should be furious with him. They played very well and are easily the best team we have played this season (even if we have beaten them twice).

Pat's will still miss him for, presumably, three games.

At least Mark Griffin might get a game when Patterson is suspended.

Was there crowd trouble at Dundalk v Pats? Saw a few ramblings from a Pats mate online.

The one nice feeling I take from tonight is we're sh1t (as in we're really, really sh1t) and yet we're still the highest placed team in Munster.:)

Not really.

Somehow, Pats fans who paid into the uncovered terrace were allowed into the main stand. It was a wet night and Pats fans are usually well behaved at Oriel Park. So someone took pity on them and let them take shelter.

They were "boisterous" but it was just loud banter, nothing nasty.

There are reports of a fan falling and hitting his head. Hope he recovers fully. I'm not sure of the circumstances surrounding that incident.

There will always be people who will blame stewards but most of us know how difficult football fans can be to deal with. They few yobs who seem to be present in every group make it very difficult to intervene.

You'd be better off sorting out the stewarding at your club rather than letting them drag your name down.

If you were you'd be embarrassed for your club

Yee Pat's fans may fill us in and quit the fcuking dancing here.(be careful not to tell lies cos we know the truth of what happened) All rights restricted (c)(p) 2012

Interested in a Pats fan's perspective here, saw all of 'incident' and the only fault was allowing away fans into the stand without a stand ticket. Will know better next time hail or rain not to take pity on decent visiting fans and shelter them from the inclement weather! Pity that a person who does their job properly gets abuse for it - who'd be a steward...??
