The second was a definate penalty but the ref didn't see it clearly so couldn't give it. The linesman probably should have though.
Don't think Dave Ryan had to make a single save barr one or two handy ones till the penalty. Very unlucky it dropped back down for Hughes.
I know Tracey scored again but barr that i thought he was poor. Sullivan didn't start too well but i thought he grew into the game and did very well in the second half till he was taken off. O Leary was excellent too.
