It was a good enough game with both sides playing some good football, Newtown were the better side in the first half but the Brigde narrowed them down to 1 shot in the first half. It was a game dominated by the defenders and midfield with little or no clear cut chances for either side.Newtown had Ryan Kelly sent off after half an hour or so for a stupid kick out at Bridge player,straight red. In (imo) Newtown didn't look like they were a man down for most of the second half but the last 15 mins Bridge did start to take the upper hand and it was long ball out of defence for Newtown until the final whistle.....Quote:

[QUOTE=CousinSylDolan;569321]Was the pitch not lined or the the ref just have the hump.Quote:

Spoke to one of the players and he said the pitch was in perfect order - In relation to the Rineanna and Lifford game it looked like the ref was obviously out the night before - rubbish would be an understatement -
Ref gave some really suspest decisions in Bridge v Newtown game.
I wasn't going to say anything but if the rest of you are at it then i might aswell.:)
Twice Newtown should have got a corner but ref gave the wrong desicion.
The Bridge keeper pushed the ball out for a corner and on the way a Bridge players got a touch on it aswell,thats 2 players from the Bridge making contact but yet the ref gave a kick out....Seriously, i can't understand what does be going on with desicions like that,its unreall, and then refs say that everbody is against them....Boo Fcukin Hoo:mad:

Any olympic lads with a report on their FAI game. I know yee like to stay quiet these days but seen as it was the fai i was hoping some1 might share the match details. Was it a case of West being too strong or did olympic want to concentrate on league affairs:rolleyes: Are west a side to avoid ion future rounds????
Give the refs a break will yee! Worse than Mourinho the lot of yee:D Saw 2 games over weekend and refs were o.k. Yes made a few mistakes but so did every player on the pitch. Obviously both refs and players didn't want to make mistakes but its easier 4 a player to put his hand up when he's made a mistake as ref would be slaughtered. Now sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhh:D :D
