Cork get revenge over nine-man Drogheda
Cork City 2 Drogheda United 0
Drogheda had two players sent off inside a minute in the second half as Cork avenged their FAI Cup final defeat to go top of Setanta Sports Cup Group 1. Denis Behan scored a stunning opening goal on 57 minutes to finally spark this game to life when letting fly from 25 yards to beat Dan Connor.
It all then went pear-shaped for Drogheda on 76 minutes when midfielder Stephen Bradley was shown a straight red card for a petulant kick on Behan. Keith Fahey, who had been booked for dissent by referee Alan Kelly for protesting at Bradley’s sending off, was then shown a second yellow card within a minute for a rash challenge on Danny Murphy.

Dungannon 1 - 1 Portadown good night for us then :)
It's always good to have a 12th man playing on your team. I didn't realise it was so difficult to find a ref who wasn't from Cork though.Quote:

If you're ever in a game significant enough to be televised throughout the entire island, I'll make a point of assessing the performance of the officials.
Alan Kelly was meant to have been the fourth official but the ref pulled out (injured i believe).
That's the only reason he togged out.
I should have pointed that out last night on here.
Might have saved a bit of whingeing.
Although maybe not.
Especially with the shed missingQuote:

Cheers Alan.
When I read the above comment I kept drawing comparisons between you and Fozzy the Bear in that your both muppets and clearly not very funny! :pQuote:

Just to point out that since the only information I had about the match was from this thread I thought it was observant of me to post about having a hometown referee. No one else seemed to mention it or felt the need to but I have three quick questions;
1. Why was a Corkman the fourth official, should it not have been someone outside of Cork?
2. Reading your last sentence in your post I have to ask what qualifies you as such an expert in that you feel you could lecture me or anyone else for that matter on the finer points of refereeing. Is it because your mammy keeps telling you your great or could your head really be that far up your arse? :p
3. Finally, when was the last time Cork beat the fourth team in Munster (clearly your trying to point out that we are crap) in a cup tie? :cool:
Having a fourth official from the local area is a very common occurence so why cant people just get it!happens even in international games,who did i see was fourth official in lansdowne last night?only good old alan kelly!Quote:

Oh and also whatever you say about when was the last time Cork City beat Limerick in a cup tie i would advise you to stop dreaming that your club can come even slightly close to us in every aspect from the team to the tealady...goodnight :rolleyes:
