Yep it was his debut. McAuley's talent has always been there but he lets himself down a lot off in his attitude and off the pitch stuff which is why he’s at his 4th LOI club in 2 years since coming home from Liverpool. Hopefully he can get the head down and do well with AthloneQuote:

Personally speaking Bircham should of pulled the team when Wordsworth was sent off anyway. Up there with one of the worst decisions in the leagues history!Quote:

And technically he did kick the ball away after the whistle had been blown, so while it was petty from the ref and an awful call from the lino to give a throw, the ref was within his rights to give a yellow so it can hardly be the worst decision ever
I’d say something if it was a one off ‘mistake’ but he later sent the manager off for harmlessly celebrating a last minute equaliser. Not to mention the fact the player has to serve a ban because a referee was incompetent and quite clearly got it wrong. On top of that we very nearly ended up losing the game because of that decision. Quite often players kick the ball away after the whistle has been blown without punishment, so I’m not buying into the ref was following the rule sh*t, because if he was following the rules he’d of never blown the whistle in the first place...Quote:

How can we expect people to take the league seriously if the referees are consistently bad?
The fact the player still has to serve a ban for that is a farce is itself..:.
I'd hazard a guess that the 3 goals you let in might have played a bigger role in that.Quote:

Drogheda lose on pens to Derry after having two men (and manager Tim Clancy) sent off. The usual misery for Drogs v Derry in the cup. (Four losses since 2015). Unbearable.
Derry beat Drogheda on Penos, see you at the Aviva( repeat of 2012 not 2014)Quote:

Harps in true Harps style made as hard of work as possible of Fairview,scored 3 in extra time when it never should have got there,Ger Doherty will never have an easier game I'd say,but we are completely shot of confidence in front of goal ........
Derry won't be getting anywhere near the Aviva if they can't score against only 9 men after 30mins of dominating play against them.Quote:

Davy O'Sullivan taking on his former club Longford shortly. Any other prominent ex-LoI players involved over the weekend?
Drogs assistant manager none to pleased with the ref(Paul McLoughlin) in today's tie v Derry.
Didn't see the match my-self so maybe someone who did can let us know if his comments are justified? (Having seen McLoughlin in action a few times already this season i kinda already know the answer!)

Absolute cracker from Darragh Nugent to put us 3 up.

He’s bang on. The Jimmie Brown sending off was simply unbelievable.Quote:

2012 was probably a better contest in fairness, certainly had more drama, as did the epic 2006 decider. not that that means anything when you lose. We were a much better team in 2014.Quote:

He's been very good from what I've seen of him. Williams has been sharp too, hopefully now he can nick a few more in the league. Two decent additions, surprisingly generous of ye.Quote:

Treaty 0-0 Dundalk at half-time.
Unsurprisingly, Dundalk with more of the ball, but not doing too much with it. Their Korean player forced a good near post save from the Treaty keeper, and Treaty also brought a good save out of Abibbi with a shot from the edge of the the area.
How many supporters were allowed in to the Markets Field?
200 I think, I'm not one of them.
McEleney only on but already looks shattered!
Yeah, was the final, just making the point that it’s not that easy to beat 9 men who can defend as a unit and used a talented Shels side as an example. We played better against 11 men and I’m seeing us controlling parts of games now with possession which was alien to us under Devine. No cutting edge there at all though.Quote:

This performance is more like early season from Dundalk, very static, lacking energy, no pace to passing/play. Treaty have been very organised which is no surprise considering how they have done in their 1st year in the league and little easy given up at Markets Field. That said Dundalk's fitness etc should have been made count. We could have done without the extra 30mins but other than it give encouragement to Treaty, does the extra 30 sap energy for a Thursday game? Frustrating stuff but Im not that surprised by Treaty's resilience.
Treaty 0-1 Dundalk AET, McEleney with the goal from a deflected shot.
Decent performance, surprised how slow and clunky Dundalk were.
Liffey Wanderers v Cobh Ramblers in the UCD Bowl today for some reason. Anyone know why? Ground regulations have never been a concern in the Cup before
Thought we had put that tendency behind us. We did look a bit leggy. Treaty can be very pleased with their development as a new side, bit Finn Harps like - a handful about the pitch but just lacking a bit attacking and nobody enjoys playing against.Quote:

College Corinthians v Bohs was in Turners Cross, so that could actually be it alright. Except for the non-League derbies, which wouldn't need it
Sligo 1-1 Cork at halftime is quite unexpected
Cork 2-1 up after an hour in Sligo,way to go yet but maybe a shock on the cards….
Cork win 3-2,huge surprise given the current status of both clubs….
Yup. Upset of the round for sure. Only upset if you don't count UCD v Shels as one (and I don't know enough about the non-League derbies)
I presume the draw for the second round is a state secret as usual?
Tuesday at 6.30 on 2FM I believe,same as the last round…
