I would suggest that Gorman did put in the cross for Feeney to score but that was before he got his second yellow. below is an article from the sligo weekender from that time.
SLIGO Rovers boss Don O’Riordan should know his club’s FAI Cup fate after tomorrow night’s [Wednesday] crunch FAI meeting in Dublin.
The FAI’s domestic committee are meeting to consider what action to take after referee David McKeon’s failure to send off Sligo’s Gareth Gorman after giving him his second yellow card in the final minute of last Thursday night’s Carlsberg FAI Cup clash involving Sligo Rovers and Shelbourne.
Rovers’ magnificent 3-2 third round victory over Shelbourne – after extra-time – has been clouded by referee David McKeon’s failure to send off Gorman after giving him a second yellow card, 60 seconds from time.
But the Rovers supremo said it would be a travesty of justice if his heroic young side are forced into a replay against Shelbourne.
“It would put the game back to the dark ages,” said the manager, whose side played Finn Harps in an eircom League First Division game last night [Monday].
“It is an anxious time but I want people to remember what these young lads have achieved. They were superb and they scored three great goals.”
“Sligo people are comparing this victory to the great Cup win in 1993. There’s a real buzz back and it is important that we don’t get distracted by something like this.”
“I know there is a UEFA precedent where a game [UEFA Champions League ‘Qualifier’] between FC Tirol and Lokomotiv Moscow was replayed in 2001 when a Moscow player stayed on the pitch after getting two yellow cards. But he was on the pitch for almost 76 minutes.”
“Gareth [Gorman] was not interfering with the play and he was only there for about a minute. I remember when I was with Galway United where Ian Rossiter got two yellow cards and there was no further action.”
“It would be a tragedy if this went to a replay. But I don’t think that Shelbourne really want it either.”
“Their manager Pat Fenlon and his players all congratulated us on the victory. It is really annoying that the focus is shifting on this aspect after a superb victory.”
“Sligo Rovers stood up and were counted when it really counted,” stated O’Riordan.
“Nobody gave us a chance against Shels in either the Showgrounds or Tolka Park. We have been given a taste of Premier action and we want more. There is a gap between us and the top teams but we are determined to make up that gap.”
“The focus is on building on the Tolka Park success,” he added.
well gorman was the player that should have been sent off either way. Not really a worthy piece of trivia anyway cos that result was ruined by being dumped out of the cup by Galway !!
was priceless though the aul fella running on the pitch towards Ian Stokes.... the worst referreeing i have ever seen at a LOI game.Quote:

Some refs get decisions wrong but that was just terrible. Did him no harm on the international reffing front tho. makes you wonder if such things get reported to UEFA at all !!Quote:

Levi Tierney has signed for Athlone, no loss.
EDIT: According to Forza Rovers forum, Cook's rumoured to be looking to sign Alan O'Hara, brother of John. A centre back, used to play in US, he was on trial with Galway recently.
Think hes been training, was up here anyways. Played with him for the IT a few years back. Footballing centre half, very composed on the ball. He went to america on a scholarship and played for clemson,one of the biggest schools there. Played for Crystal Palace USA last year in the USL, which isnt a bad standard.Quote:

But I remember thinking afterwards that Rovers would have been in serious trouble if he actually did manage to catch the ref and did something to him.Quote:

It was in the Star today that the deadline was tonight, maybe they got it wrong.
Think cookie by the sounds of it has done all his spending by now after getting moore and almeida on contracts ...
not sure what we bid but it was turned down and doolin decided that he'd sign him when his contract runs out instead. :o
No doubt Doolin will do his thing again. Hopefully Faz does'nt slip in the shower before we play you. Cookie might put a ban on players washing in the lead up to games with you.
Good to see shower boy only make the bench last night, didn't get a run at all:D.Quote:

Apparently Doolin said this 3 weeks ago after the previous bid was rejected. Why was there another offer in the last few days so?Quote:

I presume they only got the senegalese fella because they failed to gat faz. They got him for cheapen too. I agree they had too many strikers as it was, a bit stupid as fellas will get p1ssed of being on the bench.Quote:

Like it or not he wanted to leave us in the close season for whatever reason and knowing football prob money!
3 new signings confirmed on the website
http://www.sligorovers.com/content/view/480/1/
AS THE eircom League transfer deadline passed as of midnight last night, Sligo Rovers sensationally rejected a last-ditch offer from Drogheda United for talented Bosnian Fahrudin Kudozovic.
Paul Doolin is a long-term admirer of the versatile midfielder but his late bid for the want-away 22-year-old, thought to be around the region of €40,000, wasn't enough to prize him away from the Bit 'O Red.
Sligo were the busiest of clubs yesterday as Paul Cook made some shrewd signings, snapping up former Shelbourne and Ireland International player Alan Moore as well as former Porto defender Mauro Almieda, who last played for Accrington Stanley.

Even if we do, he,ll still go with the wages drogheda will offer him. Hope i,m wrong though.
He cant go in September for free, his contract is up until the end of the season, if drog want him anytime up until that they will have to pay a fee... Thats my understanding of it anyway.....Quote:

imo has looked promising in the games ive seen him, might feature in the A team, and will be on fringe of first team squad maybe if he signs?
