Personally, I disagree with the ending off. If a player get a bit of a touch but it's six in one half a dozen in the other and it's not a penalty, I don't think the player should be booked. If a player goes down as the result of no touch whatsoever, I'd agree in that case.
Congrats to Sligo Rovers. I hope ye can at least make the Europa League play-offs next season, same goes for Derry City.
The sending off was harsh, Richie could have easily had a chat with the player.
Didn't care either way who won and thought Shels would take it but it wasn't to be.
It's hard to have too much sympathy for Shels though after the Sheriff debacle.
Am assuming you didn't bother watching that game then based on this comment......Pats should have beat us in first game with 11 but played rubbish. In the 2nd game, we got a deserved pen but a terrible sending off at a stage when we were the better team, we then outplayed pats for whole game.Quote:

In the end, we were poor enough but we'll take it - lord knows we've been on the receiving end of some shocking decisions (take a bow Alan Kelly). As for the Dundalk lad with his complaint about us winning two cups "without actually winning anything", I'd say you lads would happily settle for that.
You were.Quote:

Sligo are vastly overrated, as is Cook as a manager. 90 minutes against ten men, and they can only score once.

Cork fans are an oddly bitter bunch.
We are a really really good side that will hold our own easily next year.
Cork fans are a bitter shower.
The atmosphere was great today.
Richie Winters is a disgrace.
Some of the Cork heads here are a bunch of wumming trolls.
The best team didn't win today but that's not Sligo's fault.
Stephen Paisley is a ledge bag.
Cheesesteak really is a serious poacher.
Roll on March!
Edit:-I notice that El-Pietro has reared his head over on ShelsChat. Seriously, the obsession with us "the bottlers" is incredible. How anyone who saw that game today and cannot criticise Winters needs their head checked.
Not bitter just better.
In fairness to Shels the sending of was very harsh indeed and did ruin the game somewhat. Richie Winter is a dreadful ref and really showed that today. It would have been interesting to see how Shels would've went on had the ref had not sent yer man off. They actually could have won.
Shels weren't robbed.
Sending off was debatable. (I thought it was but meh)
But if he wasn't shown the line Paisley would probably have been shown the line for any one of his half dozen fouls while on a yellow.
As for the penalty thing, he should only do that once before the Shels players complain and it doesn't happen again, as well as upsetting the keeper.
Are Sligo always such a complete pain in the arse to watch btw?? Less cutting edge than the remedial classes scissors, the Arsenal of Ireland, huffing and puffing before finally giving up and doing something stupid.
The Cork fans are actually doing a fantastic job here btw, bites flying in from all angles. :D
Also, will someone explain to me why Shels were much the better team??
Lots of guts and whatever but I can't remember them creating a chance bar that crossbar thingy early on. Sligo had at least 94% of the ball.
They were terrible with it mind.
Aaron Greene. :bulgy:
Agree with comment about great athmosphere. Neutrals really getting value for money last few years with extra time and penalties. A lot of fooball for 10 EURO. Fantastic stadium also so would advise anybody with any interest in football to attend for a final. Bring a child with you as I did and watch their face light up. Better than Christmas day smiles.
In fairness Juan, the lot of ye have gone on very childishly today re us. I'm all for rivalry and banter but there's a line.Quote:

He showed no consistency with any of his decisions and just seemed to favour Sligo in every fifty-fifty.
The linesman over the East Stand side may as well not have been there. He only flagged for corners and seemed to forget that he's there to ASSIST the ref. Gormless shtes the lot of them.
Anyway, It's over and done with. This season was all about getting out of the FD. We did that. Now time to move on.
Over passed it surely,then when the ball went to Blinkhorn he blasted it so wide or so far over the bar that it hit the top of the stand or near took out a fan sitting in a corner section.Doyle was no better,a complete let down.Brendan Clarke is prob looking for a new club right now,his manager realy filled him full of confidence today !! ??Quote:

Sure why would he? He played the final. All Cook did was bring on his penalty shootout specialist!!Quote:
