Lot of surface water from heavy rain all evening.

The rain started at 6:15, there was an inspection at 7pm which passed, though it obviously not playable at KO, I suppose the fact the players were on the pitch and the supporters were in the stands him chance it.

Ah they definitely had to get it going but it was clear by the end of the warmup that the game would never last 90.

Just funny that both games in the showgrounds have been abandoned now.

Summer football lads!

You're spot on but next season the first division won't or at least shouldn't have an utterly dominant side like Limerick. What we badly need is a player who'll give 15 or so goals.

Shocking weather in Sligo, game to be rescheduled ASAP, once Cork and Dundalk give the all clear I'd assume

Was relatively happy with our performance on Friday , there was plenty of fight & effort. It was a awful miss by Kelly but overall he did well.Thought Rory Feely was excellent considering he is only 19 he has a big future in football. As for Billy Dennehy his crossing was awful but he replacement Kinsella didn't fare much better, get the bray match out of the way and move on to the cup game.

Beautiful irony here considering Dalk's form in this regard.

Dundalk must be feeling the pressure having to sink to such lows to score and given Kenny's pen counting and crisp packet comments. :D

Right so. Maybe I've been watching different matches to you. I've actually been watching Dundalk.

In post-match interviews, Brian Gartland and Dane Massey also very clear about the hop ball incident

I hope he goes nowhere but if John O Flynn doesn't stick with us next season then ye have that man right there for ye.

Also quite a number of good young players are coming through so we're going in the right direction.

I was impressed at the standard of football Cobh played. Clearly a well coached team.

What about Dundalk eh? We won a squillion quid in Europe, rearranged Wexford's fixture list, store away fans in concentration camp conditions and contest drop balls you know

Oh and that sour taste is the sour grapes you've been sucking on since last night.

Don't 'do' twitter (think the 'ter' superfluous .;)). I thought it a pity that an otherwise good game, with two good goals was reduced to a discussion about 'that' incident. Obviously for some idiots anyone not worshipping at the feet of Dundalk is sucking sour grapes, so be it. Thought Dundalk fully deserved the win (and said so) battered us for 65/70 minutes before we had a late rally, but apparently that's not enough.

...maybe you were among those that inhaled the smoke from the flare pre match ? :think:

Bohs have nobody to blame but themselves for that goal. Ball was clearly dropped between the players. But the argument should be that it probably should have been dropped to Bohs to kick possession back to Dundalk.
Otherwise, that was a real humdinger by Byrne.

So it was actually Bohs all along who were the unsporting ones in the "controversial" goal

TV footage > Twitter whinging

Goal of the season by Kurtis. In between long spells of looking disinterested, this is what he is capable.

As for the cheating allegation by some Bohs fans. Oops.

Oh jesus Christ that hop ball. Why aren't bohs fans angry at their players for not reacting quick enough.
Next thing folks will be crying about quick throw ins and free kicks

Quick throw ins and free kicks are strictly managed by the referee. It appears the ref here threw the ball in without at least explaining to either side what the hell was going on. Dundalk took advantage of it (and nothing wrong with that) but it was unusual to say the least. Dundalk did nothing wrong but nor did Bohs, the failure if there was one, appears to be with a lack of clarity by the referee (unless he did explain to players), that is what usually happens in games and what didn't happen Friday night.

You complained about this being the main discussion point surround an excellent match and then continue to make contradictory arguments about it.

Ref told Bohs players to move back WITHOUT explaining what Dundalk player was to do (or so I was told Friday night). if you watch the footage a Dundalk player signaled to O'Donnell to pass it back to his keeper.Quite clearly there was confusion about what was happening among the players.

Straightforward enough even for you to understand ? carry on spoofing so.

So why didn't the bohs player move back then ?

I noticed that too.

Given that O'Donnell was then possession of the ball in almost the exact same position as before the ref stopped play, I don't understand why he would pass it back to the keeper.

Alan Cawley made the right call on this. Lopes should have kicked the ball back to the Dundalk keeper. It looked like he switched off and was day dreaming.

Well this discussion has become a cesspool. Unless there's anything new to add it'd be a good time to let this thread die a deserved death.

that's a massive 3 points and 7 clear. Corks postponment of their wknd games has backfired.

We are probably at the stage now where performances don't really matter and it's all about results.

We need to get the UCD tie sorted by Friday win or lose. Please no replays. Get the harp games and we could be 10 clear by the Alkmaar game and before cork kick a ball

Playing like Champions now. Doing enough to win games without playing great. Put the reserves out for the Cup. Let's be honest, lowest priority now. Rotate squad between Monday and Thursday and could be a very productive 9 days.

We didn't postpone any games to gain any sort of advantage though. I'm sure all involved with the club would much prefer to have those games played.

Big win for dundalk though, was hoping they might slip up tonight.

Honestly? How has it backfired? We didn't have to play two games without two important players. Two players who were involved in both goals today and another on Friday. Plan worked out exactly.
