Unpredictable results.
Encouraging set of results from a Dfc point of view and also pats providing we both beat Bray and Athlone.
Seriously though, I didn't see the Lenihan incident but I hope he is OK and makes a speedy recovery. Things like that are horrific.
Cowardly tackle by the Bohs player. Backing in instead of challenging for the ball. I've seen similar tackles in football over the years and FIFA need to address them. Isn't a tackle in the air an auto sin bin in rugby?Quote:

Reading reports from Tallaght that Zayed stormed out of ground when named as a sub tonight.
Not ridiculous at all. Look at it again. He looks at Lenihan coming, turns his back and crouches over to take him out. Why not jump for the ball? I'm not saying he set out to do the damage he did, but he took him out.Quote:

Time for Nutsy to get off the couch in Montrose and make his way out the N81.

`Hon the Harps!
Come of it. He see's Lenihan will get to the ball with his momentum, turns his back to try and shield the ball from him if it drops to his feet and then ducks when he feels Lenihan's make contact with his back to avoid a worse collision. It's a natural reaction in the moment and I've seen similar things in other games in the LOI. I suppose you can call it "cowardly" if you want, but there is no intention for an injury to happen there.Quote:

so in conclusion according to Cork fans you are a coward if you don't contest these challenges,whereas if your a Derry fan someone who does contest them is a thug!!!
its a funny old game
We agree here.Quote:

Seen many of them over the years.Quote:

Paddy Kavanagh did nothing wrong. The Cork player is the one who put himself in danger. Brave lad, I hope he recovers quickly.
Had a double take on whose post this was!Quote:

I could see Bohs getting something from that game but Drogs winning in Tallaght is a massive shock
Kavanagh did nothing wrong there and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous. It's just one of those unfortunate incidents and I hope he has a speedy recovery. I hope there will be no twitter bashing for Kavanagh similar to what some Derry "fans" subjected Hoban to....... twice!
The worst post in the history of foot.ie, and that's really saying somethingQuote:

Don't forget as well Cork fans (not sullanefc) defending Darren Dennehy for his sending off in Belfield earlier this season, which every other fan criticised as a horrendous tackle.
Basically my team good, other teams bad.
Well, now that the European campaign is over.
Oh I feel a bit sorry for Bohs. Clearly the better team throughout the injury has taken a bit of gloss over a terrific win for them
What do you want them to have? An open-top bus perhaps? They got their reward, i.e. 3 points. I completely stopped caring about the result after the injury. I think it's very fair that concern switched to the injured player and away from football if you ask me.Quote:

So if cork had gone on to win the game 2-1 you wouldn't have cared about the result??? Strange to say the leastQuote:

2 weeks which is a big loss but it's great news.Quote:

Well done to all paramedics , cork and bohs medical staff in been so quick in their actions and their excellent work in treating him
Check out the comment from some idiot called Fergal in the comments underneath this article:Quote:

Jeez, exaggerate much? Forgive me for taking a post like this from you with a large pinch of salt. Good contribution.Quote:

Apart from the macho rugby stuff, I don't see much wrong with that comment. It's true you can't swallow your tongue, and from what's been said (again, I've only seen the vine link), simple first aid did prevent further injury. An incident can look distressing but have a simple, if long, treatment to keep it perfectly under control.
Its Doctor Fergal ..... (:Quote:

Not sure though if the same applies to linehan's case though - which obviously came from very different circumstances
What almost certainly happened is that, while unconscious, his tongue fell back and blocked his airway. This is very dangerous, but very easy to fix. You just open the airway (via a jaw thrust here due to the risk of a spinal injury). It's something you learn on any basic first aid course. Fergal may well have a point that it's not worth hyping up something that's really easy to fix by suggesting it needs paramedics. A paramedic would have been needed to rule out a spinal injury. The rest seems like basic first aid - monitor the airway; get to hospital
