Sorry most people accept it was not a penalty - that is why we are still talking about it days later (apparently even you wouldn't give it). Leahy cleared the ball - cleanly. McCarthy hit him. How can that be a foul ? Unless a free out. Is a defender obliged to get out of his way ? Either both were dangerous or neither were (in which case it is not a penalty) so the careless argument cuts both ways.Quote:

Anyway, over and done with now so we move on. Hopefully in the replay Bohs can finish the job that Rogers prevented us completing on Sunday.
I'd really like to believe that :DQuote:

You can't have it both ways, Bohs fans. Leahy was reckless. Brave to go for it but it was reckless.
No, they don't. The polls done are split right down the middle. Surely you can understand that your 'most' is coloured by interacting more with Bohs fans. For me 'most' are saying it was a penalty.Quote:

Don't think many would argue that without the 'dodgy' penalty Cork would not have got a draw. Therefore clearly the refs decision determined the outcome - a decision you would not have given (according to yourself !).Quote:

But you're right, this will just go round and round in circles, as it has on twitter. It is what it is.
See you Monday!
Anyway, all pretty futile as the only opinion that counts was Rogers (unfortunately).Whatever the outcome Monday lets hope we are talking about a good match and not some controversial ref decision (for a change). Hopefully a decent crowd and a bit of atmosphere. The fact its not on TV might boost the crowd although Monday night is hardly ideal. should be fun !Quote:

Seriously, come on FFS. I can understand people not thinking it's a penalty for other reasons, but you cannot just ignore the fact that one went in with studs up and the other didn't. Their actions were not the same in terms of carelessness, so the 'both were careless or neither were careless' is nonsense.Quote:

Madness going in like that, and would have been the first sending off of the year on the pitch I think? (Hoare was sent off in the tunnel after Rovers 1-2 defeat)Quote:

would hope we can shift the 500 tickets Cork have given us. Possibly more, difficult to tell at this stage.Quote:

Anyway, as has been said, time to move on, most LOI games are a litany of poor decisions just unfortunate when they are so influential to the outcome. Hopefully there will be a clearer outcome to the replay.Quote:

Surprised Kelly has 5 cards, doesn't seem like the type of player who makes a lot of challenges...
It helps us, but I'm not a fan of yellows that we're gotten in the league meaning someone misses a cup semi. It's very harsh. I remember us being absolutely gutted for Neal Horgan who missed the 2007 final due to getting 5 yellows all season.
No one should miss a cup semi because of the timing of the semi. Let them serve it in the league.
Big losses, Stokes/Danny Grant in and Cornwall for Casey.Quote:

That Ali Reghba seems a real talent going by his performance against us. I was surprised to hear he is only 19. Big and strong and held on to the ball really well, even apart from his goals.Quote:

Bohs have announced that an extra 100 away tickets being released by CCFFC and will be on sale tonight. Not sure if that means the original allocation of 500 has sold out?
RTE has also announced live TV coverage of the replay with an earlier kick off at 7:30.
Almost like to see Bohs win just to have a different feel to the final
The 500 sold out Thursday, we got an extra 100 and they sold out as well this morning, we currently have a director going to Cork to get 100 tickets to sell at tonight's match.
700 fans on a Monday night and still being on TV is incredible.
Absolutely fantastic support. A credit to the club and fans.Quote:

Lets hope the match lives up to the billing. Doesnt have to be full of quality just a full blooded cup tie. If Bohs play like they did in Dalymount at all and Cork show up at home as normal, it has the makings of a great match to anticipate.Quote:

We sent up more tickets. Your club just didnt distribute them the way ye wanted. Not our fault.Quote:

That would be the reasonQuote:

5) A 500 plus seat sterile zone beside away fans is essential in league games only.
6) The "fu*k Dundalk" rhetoric is now a critical part of the club ethos, and if we can't match them on the pitch, well just have to be awkward and petty off it.
7) Follow Trump tactics and deny the game ever happened - Its fake news!
Good luck to both teams in the replay. I imagine 700 + Bohs fans will make for a lively atmosphere
Ah, the dundalk nonsense is alive and well, even after a league win.
1) the dragging of feet was because we waited to see if we needed the tickets ourselves
2) Dundalk fans seems to think tickets weren't sent up when they were. Their club chose not to publicise it.
3) Yes we refused to move regulars, and will continue to do so, as is also happening in the Bohs Game. Absolutely dead right. 2 St Annes sections is the maximum anyone will get.
4) Yes, the Gardaí view segregation and the amount of seats needed for it in their own special way. This is not new, as annoying as it is. How they compare Dundalk and Bohs? Probably not much in it, as proven by the very similar ticket numbers.
5) if the decision was just because They didn't want more dundalk fans, we'd hardly be denying it! In fact it'd likely be one of the more popular recent club decisions. Shock horror, fans don't really like their rivals. So, no, there's be no reason for some bizarre cover up.
I'm sure the 700 Bohs fans will create a fantastic atmosphere. As, to be fair, the 600 or so dundalk fans did. Hopefully they don't have as much of a reason for it though
Fairplay to Dundalk fans for making the City and Bohs game about them anyway.
Great to see Bohs bringing down a big crowd. The league would be all the better if every club had a strong travelling support. Adds so much to the atmosphere. Hope they all enjoy their day in Cork
Looking forward to this game tomorrow, just great to have another live game to watch with interest and on a monday night.
Cork will be odds on, and they will be fully expected to win, I think Bohs will make it a better final though and probably might even take more fans to the Aviva, no pressure on them tomorrow, will all be on Cork to advance.
Reckon Caulfield must be over the moon sadlier picked up s knock against rovers. Has an excuse not to play him now. When he leaves at the end of the season it will be no surprise
Tremendous level of interest at Dalymount in this game and a great number travelling, especially for a Monday night. I don't want to get mixed up in the Cork / Dundalk 'love in' but speaking to people at Bohs on Friday night Cork have ben excellent to deal with over tickets.Quote:
