He is badly concussed.
When you say assaulted, are we talking proper punch or headbutt sort of stuff?
Think it was elbow to face and steward goes down against concrete wall, didn't see it but that's the word.
More rumours of match fixing involving Limerick on Twitter this evening,looks very bleak for them tbh
Taken away in ambulance.
Hard to see them in football next season, fecking shambles.Quote:

Disappointing to hear this if true.
Limerick went from 10/1 pre match out to 28/1. Massive money put on Sligo -2.5 asian handicap amongst other bets. From what ive heard the game itself reflected the match betting with some terrible "defending" and the red cards.
What a mess. Nothing but bad news for months now, but this is something else. I hope the player in question has already been dismissed from the club, but knowing Limerick no one in any authority will be arsed. If the player even had a contract.
Don't know about match fixing but the second Limerick goal was strange. The ease in which their player was allowed to score was bizarre.
Also the sending off of Leverock looked a bad headbutt. As bad as I've seen on a pitch to be honest. I dont think it could have been faked unless the lads had some serious acting chops.
I missed the incident with the steward but all the wee hardmen throwing stuff onto the pitch and doing Danny Dyer impersonations was a tad embarrassing.
Be gas if both sides were trying to throw the game but Limerick were just more professional.
Well, there has got to be some aspect of this game we are good at. Apart from finding new lows.Quote:

One of my favourite LoI moments!

Read the following posts, oriel! :)
Soccer Republic have highlights up on their FB page. A lot of bad defending, but I wouldn't have thought anything dodgy if the betting patterns hadn't been mentioned. Looks like Hughes assaulted the steward while trying to recover a ball for a throw, but it's off camera.
Missed those, only saw it now as was posting on a mobile, yes that was the game, outstanding stuff.Quote:

If you use an exchange any suspect betting patterns will also lead to suspension of the market/payment and the amounts available on either side of a LOI game are so thin that 200e could shift an outcome from 2s to levels and that is an outright not a derivative, the derivs are normally so thin and overound to be not worth bothering about anyway.
I don't understand any of that but it reads like you know what you are talking about so thanks.
Rovers v Galway
Sligo v UCD
Waterford v Dundalk
Crumlin v Bohs

Good news for the game down there should create a buzz , Galway badly missed from the premier imo.Quote:

Bohs FAI cup game more than likely be called off due to International Call Up's, so will prob play in Scottish Cup that weekendQuote:

Two first division teams and then Crumlin....
Two top first division teams and a crack outfit from LSL.Quote:

Tough draws for the Hoops too, Harps, Drogs at home , Galway away.
At some point we will have Rovers/ Bohs final , but that will require the continued absence of FAI officials at the draw. I expect the draw for the semi final to be in the Abbotstown bunker
Bohs, UCD, Waterford, Rovers are liable to have a player or two each called up to the U21 (or senior) squad that weekend. We could conceivably see all four quarter-finals postponed! Presumably Bohs and Rovers would take their chances minus any call-ups.
I would'nt take a chance if they asked our Kitman to go to the U21 or seniorsQuote:

You will hear nothing from (this incarnation) of the club about anything ever again I'd say.
It's a corpse floating at the bottom of the first division they'll poke a few holes in it with a stick in about a months time and twill sink.
Then comes the best part of every league of ireland season the off season
Probably not. Someone is updating the Twitter page occasionally, but that's about it. Seems like a long time since POS' semi-regular pronouncements.
its coming Rovers v Bohs at landsdowne oh what a prospect please let it happenQuote:
