Sorry most people accept it was not a penalty - that is why we are still talking about it days later (apparently even you wouldn't give it). Leahy cleared the ball - cleanly. McCarthy hit him. How can that be a foul ? Unless a free out. Is a defender obliged to get out of his way ? Either both were dangerous or neither were (in which case it is not a penalty) so the careless argument cuts both ways.Quote:

Anyway, over and done with now so we move on. Hopefully in the replay Bohs can finish the job that Rogers prevented us completing on Sunday.
I'd really like to believe that :DQuote:

You can't have it both ways, Bohs fans. Leahy was reckless. Brave to go for it but it was reckless.
No, they don't. The polls done are split right down the middle. Surely you can understand that your 'most' is coloured by interacting more with Bohs fans. For me 'most' are saying it was a penalty.Quote:

Don't think many would argue that without the 'dodgy' penalty Cork would not have got a draw. Therefore clearly the refs decision determined the outcome - a decision you would not have given (according to yourself !).Quote:

But you're right, this will just go round and round in circles, as it has on twitter. It is what it is.
See you Monday!
Anyway, all pretty futile as the only opinion that counts was Rogers (unfortunately).Whatever the outcome Monday lets hope we are talking about a good match and not some controversial ref decision (for a change). Hopefully a decent crowd and a bit of atmosphere. The fact its not on TV might boost the crowd although Monday night is hardly ideal. should be fun !Quote:

Seriously, come on FFS. I can understand people not thinking it's a penalty for other reasons, but you cannot just ignore the fact that one went in with studs up and the other didn't. Their actions were not the same in terms of carelessness, so the 'both were careless or neither were careless' is nonsense.Quote:

Madness going in like that, and would have been the first sending off of the year on the pitch I think? (Hoare was sent off in the tunnel after Rovers 1-2 defeat)Quote:

But whatever.
would hope we can shift the 500 tickets Cork have given us. Possibly more, difficult to tell at this stage.Quote:

Anyway, as has been said, time to move on, most LOI games are a litany of poor decisions just unfortunate when they are so influential to the outcome. Hopefully there will be a clearer outcome to the replay.Quote:

Surprised Kelly has 5 cards, doesn't seem like the type of player who makes a lot of challenges...
It helps us, but I'm not a fan of yellows that we're gotten in the league meaning someone misses a cup semi. It's very harsh. I remember us being absolutely gutted for Neal Horgan who missed the 2007 final due to getting 5 yellows all season.
No one should miss a cup semi because of the timing of the semi. Let them serve it in the league.
Big losses, Stokes/Danny Grant in and Cornwall for Casey.Quote:
