Exactly ....bad tackle normal game stuff.....hurt us more than dundalk, let's not make a drama out of it
On the game we were great in the first half hour, thought we were going to steamroll Rovers but we just stopped playing. Couldn't begrudge Rovers the draw. On the sending off, the tackle was disgusting and it's hard to fathom how it wasn't a straight red, Shields out for the remainder of the season now.
On the other "stuff" I feel sorry for genuine Rovers fans of which I know a few. It must be really embarrassing to be associated with the scum that attach themselves to their club. Also it must be really disheartening that the club has never made a serious push to weed these low lives out.
Did Dundalk weed out the scum who broke 40/50 seats when playing in tallaght last season.
Get to f***.
I thought it was an average game to be honest. Neither side really stood out above the other.Quote:

Feck that for a game of cards. It takes away from the occasion of a derby game, and lessens any potential rivalries within the league.
Shamrock Rovers match tickets were only available to Members initially, with any remaining tickets going to Season Ticket holders. The Rovers fans causing trouble in the ground are part of the core of the club,Quote:

I presume that all tickets for this game were sold to Rovers season ticket holders? If so this is very worrying for the club as these fans are meant to be the ones who love the club most.
Dundalk have plenty of idiots but if 600 season ticket holders went to Tallaght there would be no issues.
No need to reply btw I'll discuss this with an intelligent Rovers fan in the morning. Enjoy the celebrations
That explains a lot.Quote:

I think Chris Shields might disagreeQuote:

To be honest after witnessing the antics of Shamrock Rovers supporters this evening they are the perfect definition of an Orwellian classless society.
It was some wild celebrations from them when they equalised and at ft.
I think sheilds is man enough to admit he has been there done that.Quote:

Whether you think that's good,bad or indifferent is of no value, to me anyway.
See you Tuesday.
Actually it's See you next Tuesday (week). Ahem.Quote:

Disgraceful tackle by McAllister. That was a straight red on its on. Shields may have been involved a few seconds earlier but it was more a shoulder/ barge at worst.
Decent match. Was mentioned above about possible merit of 10 team league, two good sides going at each other, if that is a sole reason for the benefit of a ten team league to raise the quality of the football it might be worthwhile. We'll have to see.
Dundalk will have no fears going to Tallaght on tues week but there is a sense of we let Rovers off the hook in the first half. Overall though, no complaints on the result.
Not just then, I've never seen a man of the match award celebrated so wildly than this evening. You'd swear Rovers had won their cup final.Quote:
