Atrocious peno by Byrne, he got way underneath it. It was a peno, Sullivan was nowhere near the ball and just jumped into Crowe.
Pat Sullivan has been sent off now. The final minutes are going to be interesting.
Pity about the eejit who threw the bottle at the lino.
He had 'I'm going to feck this up' written all over him.
Mervue lead!
Ah come on, every club has a few idiots - you can't tar us all with the same brush.Quote:

Great result for Rovers...delighted for them.
What a vindication of my consistent position during this mass Shams love-in. As I kept telling everyone, and as the booing of Ndo (wonder if the elephant washing song got an airing? :rolleyes:) and the missile incident prove, scum are scum are scum are scum. They blew their big showcase, well done.
Not that bothered about Shams winning the league now, Bohs are clearly a better team and should still pip them. Shams look very tired.
Imagine, booing a player who left you to move to your biggest rivals? Oh wait, he's black, so it must be racism :rolleyes:Quote:

Ah come off it, it was definitely a free.Quote:

I have no doubt that this had an influence on the bizarre decision to red card Daly. He won a bouncing ball with Connor Kenna stooping to head it. Possibly dangerous play and a free out, not even worthy of a yellow card never mind a straight red.
Apparently Daly claimed later that he did not make any contact, although Kenna was rolling on the ground clutching his head. Will be very interested to see this on MNS!
Thought we were the better team, but let down by playing Madden up front nearly on his own - he was pushed off the ball too easily. That penalty...:(
On another note, it was strange and wonderful watching a LoI match in a proper stadium under really good floodlights - Rovers have landed on their feet in a big way, and good luck to them: similar investment by other local authorities could pay off big time for all involved.
Entertaining game at Tolka. Shels failed to take the game to UCD with the one man advantage and were outplayed. We were inches from going 3-2 ahead one of Shels' defenders made a fantastic diving block tackle. The point keeps us in the title race but it feels like two points lost.
Went over to this game, one of the best games I've seen in a long time. Terrific game, great run in in the first division. Good to see a half decent crowd at it as well.Quote:

Draw was a fair result. Poor quality game filled with incidents.
Was that the bottle Jason lost by any chance ? :DQuote:

Near photo-finish...
What game were you at tonight? Sorry I forgot, Home Farm don't play senior football anymore.Quote:

Good game at Tolka tonight. UCD are the best team I have seen us play this season without a doubt. They keep the ball on the ground and are a danger every time they go forward. Its frustrating because I know we have the players to play that way yet we still resort to hoofing the ball at times.
Once they went down to ten men we sat back and let them come onto us. We should have pushed on from there and finished the game off. We have only ourselves to blame for that. We were lucky to escape with a draw tonight.
Good crowd tonight. 1452. Hopefully we can get similar for our last two home games.
Also what was the UCD player thinking for the red card? Stupid on his part and deserved to go.
To be fair MyPost it's one every season when you word it without the PR guff and it's way too much, The FAI will need to take a stance over that as it has place in the game esp with its aimed at officials who have a hard enough time of it. They need to stamp it out once and for all and if that means coming down on you hard then so be it.Quote:

Deserved a point at least, should have taken 3 but our finishing was awful.
White Horse - I'm pretty sure the celebrations were for the goal that we scored in the last minute!
Expect another fine for dundalk too for throwing a banger onto the pitch towards the players.Why would you do it?:confused:
Frank and Irene won't do anything much - Rovers are 'a wonderful advertisement for the league'
A lighted banger was thrown onto the pitch by a Dundalk 'fan', just yards away from the players after a mini scuffle, just to put things into perspective. Cowardly little sh*t whoever threw it.Quote:

The studs were showing I think, so I don't think it's as much of a travesty as the Dundalk fans on here are making it out to be. A very, very dirty team anyway. Mansaram could have easily got two yellows night simply for his behaviour.Quote:

Also flares lit before the game, with the perpetrators caught on camera.
Wasn't aware that it hit an official.Quote:

The FAI are the only ones in football who hate flares. Their advertising slogan is "come to the games, but don't think about creating an atmosphere, or face the consequences." :rolleyes:
There hasn't been much of a mention about Galway tonight, but i think their season and the job Foster has done should be acknowledged. I think they were nearly everyones favourites to go down, but they now look pretty safe.
Make sure you have a look at the Daly incident on MNS, and let us know your views on "mature recollection"!Quote:

Totally agree about the flares, that's internal club stuff for you to deal with it as you see fit. I think they should be allowed.Quote:

Not surprised he gave it...see Sligo fans...it's not enough to just get the 'dodgy' penalties...you have to score them too ;)
