Are you not satisfied with us losing?! :D
A second yellow wouldn't have been automatic though. The ref could have been well justified in his own mind giving a free without a yellow card, so you're just clouding the issue there. The main issues are that 1. either it was no foul, or advantage should have been played, so the goal should have stood (or was Marney offside in that case? :p ) and 2. given that the ref decided it was a foul, it was a stonewall penalty and that bizarrely both ref and linesman, who were well sighted, gave it as outside the box, yards away from the site of the tackle, which was still clearly marked by the two lads lying where they fell. Amazing.
You can clearly see from the tape though that Luke Fitz expected to be sent off. :D
obviously you have never seen this so. from about 1.12 in.Quote:

Three of the worst decisions I remember in the el involved Bray.Quote:

UCD's non-peno against Bray. UCD player hauled down by Pip in the Bray box in the last of a cup match a few years ago. Ref somehow finds a reason to give us a free out.
Drogs goal/peno that wasn't and Foran's save for Bray. Only this season, Foran, our centre-back, slapped the ball as he stood on the line. He was the last man and he denied a certain goal. Furthermore, some people said he was standing behind the line. Ref just assumed he'd headed it.
We are lucky.

Dundalk have been handed this same referee for their game in Limerick tomorrow :(

1.28 in has to be a bad decision in favour of Dundalk.
Also in a game played the year after in Oriel Derry scored a goal and it went through the net and the ref called for a goal kick.
Refs havn't just become crap recently.........they were always crap!
Or the game in Oriel that finished 1-1 where Derek Treacy's shot went through a hole in the net and wasn't given at 1-1..
Or this one, a Dundalk goal disallowed for OFFSIDE against Shelbourne earlier this season. Would have totally changed the game.

Linesman later apologised for his mistake!
There were a few smirks at that one, Steve Williams had kicked the ball to the centre circle too for tip off only to have the ball sent back for a goal kick:p It was a good foot inside the post, Willo was talking bout that as one of the bizzarest moments in his careerQuote:
