LOI Series 16 & 13 - Premier & 1st Div fixtures.

That video just rips apart the argument that we have good reffos and linos in the LOI.
Thats the 1st time i've seen that and that is disgraceful offcicating !
I hope someone sent the video to MNS.

Shocking decision on the first goal.

Also, Mountney's trailing leg was clearly taken, definite penalty not simulation. Why would he go down, he was through on goal. What is it with refs and "simulation" this year?

Watch the replay of the "definite penalty" and you'll see why he got a second yellow. Horrendous dive.

It's an early morming! I meant Setanta obviously.

This is certainly something that's new to Rovers and it seems Sligo too, but it is a positive development. You'd expect that to even itself out as the players become more used to better conditioning. You can see the same effect among players who migrate from the LOI to England - Paul Corry and Stephen McLaughlin both picked up lengthy injuries after moving last year. If they'd been brought up through the English system, you'd expect them to be a little more resilient.

I know it's just repeating a worn out line, but the main difficulty is recovery. Professionals can do whatever they need to and can be pushed, but part-timers have to get out of bed the next day and go to work or school, or sit at home and wait for training. Pro's can go in for massages etc etc so all the best physical work is nothing without a proper nutrition plan and the time to recover/be assisted. Although this season there does seem to be alot of players out injured.
