The Showgrounds was abosutely crackling for the entirety last night barely a moment to draw breath, I cannot recall a flat moment throughout.

I thought Shamrock Rovers looked much better last night, having not seen them play in a while. They were moving the ball a bit quicker and creating more chances than earlier in the season. Dundalk were poor enough but a lot of that seemed to be down to Rovers pressing them high up the pitch and preventing Towell from getting on the ball. Rovers are still lacking a bit in the final third, with none of the wingers really looking great in that formation and Sheppard was working hard but was doing a lot of running down the channels and wasn't in the penalty box often enough. There was quite a few occassions when crosses went into good areas of the box but there was no forward okayer there. Defensively McGuinnes makes a massive difference, they look far more solid when he plays, although there was still a couple of close shaves. This second series of games is really the acid test for Croly's managerial skills.

Terrible decision.
Bad refereeing has this league ruined.

Bleeding dramaqueens. Refs aren't great here but any chance of a bit of perspective peeping through there?

There isn't a league in the world where clubs and fans don't moan about refs.

Ah com'n Dodge it was a blatant hand ball by Christy Fagan , made worse by the player appealing for a penalty and even worse again that Tom Connolly who was well positioned fell for it.

Where did I say it was the right decision? it wasn't handball by Fagan either. Just hit him. No penalty, no free.

But poor decisions happen in every league in the world. Calm down

Including up the other end 20 minutes earlier. It evened out. They missed their peno we didn't, only difference

How many penalties are Drogs on for the season now, 8?

If that ball hit Fagans he should get a ban imo. Getting the peno from a stupid referee is one thing, but appealing for it knowing it hit your had own hand is just blatant cheating and brings things to another weird level, even more than diving in the box.

Must have hit Prendergast's then? No striker would ever look for an advantage

I doubt it Dodge, seeing as you have said it hit Fagan. Claiming a peno for a ball hitting your own hand, whether intentional or not, is bizarre, disgraceful and actually pretty embarrassing all at the same time. Some will call it trying to gain an advantage, most will call it being a cheating bas***d. Id give him 10 of 10 for originality, never seen that type of claim for a peno before.

I think it's fair to say Charlie that none of the last 3 posts are interesting in any way really.

Exactly, f*ck Drogs, they've had more dodgy peno decisions in their favour than Pat Dolan's had hot dinners.

There is no way Pat Dolan has only had 8 hot dinners.

Now that was a refereeing performance to complain about. :)

Have never seen a homer ref for UCD before. But in fairness, he called (well, the linesman) called the red card correctly, and there was at least a case to be made for not giving the penalty.

But we seemed to get all the 40/60s, and the advantage rule meant nothing to him. Good fun!

Yep he was truly awful, blatant handball after a UCD player cleared off the line and a very questionable off side for a disallowed goal. He decided to even things out by giving Bohs a series of corner kicks without the apparent involvement of any of the UCD players.
In any event, UCD deserved the win. Terrible crowd.

Very poor 'crowd' witnessed a shocking display by so called ref. To be fair UCD deserved the win but Jeeez Sutton was cluless. Interestingly, I watched the lino after the hand ball claim (as I could not believe he had not seen it) and it appeared he was only signalling offside. a number of fouls happened literally feet from him and he did not flag, amazing at Premier level.

Big three points for UCD (who must love Dublin Derbies ;)) and Bohs well and truely into the relegation dogfight.

For the record, on the handball incident - the first I'm fairly sure (having checked the video) was chested away. The second - the best you can say is that the ball bounced up so quickly that our player didn't have a chance to move his arm. But it certainly hit his arm, and in any event, the ref said that he didn't see it (as opposed to calling it accidental)

The free in the last minute that Bohs had their last chance from was given for handball which was just never handball. And yeah, there were loads of calls like that. But I think it just about makes up for every ridiculous decision Bohs have gotten against us, from the red card in Dalymount at the start of the season to Wayne Russell not being sent off around 2000 for blatant handball outside the box, to everything in between. :)

Crikey , remembering dodgy decisions from circa 2000 in a league where there are 3/4 per game? that really is a large chip on your shoulder (Burdocks would be proud of it :cool:). Ref last night was crap over all - for both sides. Bohs were very poor on the night and did not deserve anything from the game irrespective of the refs performance (for want of a better term) UCD Marginally better side over 90 mins (incidentally ref player 44 mins 45 seconds in first half according to a UCD fan at the game with me)
