I thought the first penalty was ball to hand. I watched the 3rd penalty a few times now and it is not clear if Joe got the ball first. Watch where the ball goes. Most likely was a penalty. That one was given by the linesman who was behind the Drogheda player although Kelly was closer and had a better angle. He wasn't giving it until Cahill put up his flag and did his dance around the corner flag.
Axel's red card was technically correct for his threatening manner but I suspect Cassidy "slipping on the mud" might have led the referee to believe there was contact. The Drogheda number 11 raised his hand to Craig in the same incident also a technically correct red card right in front of Kelly.
Browns red card was for a last man tackle not dissent, the striker was just getting a shot away in goal when fouled, it had to be a red.
I agree that casso bought that red card but if axel is stupid enough to react after winning a free for his team then he is leaving himself wide open.
