It wasn't a goal scoring opportunity whatsoever. The ball was going out for a throw in. It was a definite penalty as he fouled him in the penalty area after he knicked the ball ahead of him but no way was it a red card. Based on your logic every penalty should be a red card.
We we were decent tonight. At least we managed to put 2 halves of football together. Still though it's 2 goals from 6 games which is worrying. Have the makings of a team there but need to get a win or two on the board soon enough.
After watching Oriel last night good to see a ref not so card happy. Could easily have booked a lot.
Before the Shels game Limerick were 8/1 to go unbeaten in the league for the rest of the season and 1/9 to win the division.
Paul tuite and the Dublin media were the only person in Tallaght who missed Brandon Miele's blatant hand ball for rovers 1st goal on Friday night . Smallest crowd I've ever seen there despite Gufc having upto 200 fans there.
A game I expected Rovers to win, and they did just that.
wasn't a deliberate handball from where i was standing
[QUOTE=outspoken;1864732]fair enough point made there. had forgotten completely about contributions from supp club. suppose it goes around in cycles! for years up to the late nineties there were never away buses. suppose it has come to this stage! nothin can be done Im afraid.. if our form improves and club gets arse in gear then maybe.Quote:

Galway media didn't miss it and neither did nutsy who said it was a handball after the game.Quote:

[QUOTE=L.T.F.C.;1864886]I get the feeling that's the imagine people get of these 'section O' bus, they are very timid compared to what people imagine. Anyway some people prefer to drive and that's fair enough but after a long week I like to sit back with a few cans and have the craic on the way to an away game, it's all personal preference. Would be hopeful we can get something going for Sligo in a few weeks.Quote:

With ourselves, thought we were alright. Held our shape well, which was going to be important, and limited the damage Dundalk were able to do. I'd say the first may have boring to watch as a neutral though.
Second half improved as a spectacle, though I don't think Shields sending off had much to do with it. The numerical advantage wasn't all that noticeable really. Disappointed that we didn't press on after our goal, but after our red card, we'd always have taken the point.
On Sutton, pretty awful performance. 13 yellows, with two reds. Some justified, but a lot of fouls given when there was really no call. It wasn't a dirty game, though Dundalk's diving (or going down easy, to be kind) didn't help matters. Was funny to see Gerard Doherty get booked for taking ages with a goal kick. He probably wasn't even trying to waste time, that's just usual for him. We'd be 1-0 down with two minutes to go and he'd still take an eternity.
We're doing well this season, much moreso than we expected. Shields is chatting about aiming for a European spot. I think that's very ambitious. The main thing is; nine points clear of the play-off spot!
Dundalk, IMO, looked a poorer side than that of last year. Not the same hunger and no urgency to finish the game off. Horgan was brilliant and created problems for us all night though. As mentioned, they need to win their home games.
On a side note, what's the craic with the bar at Oriel? Are we allowed in or not? Some Derry fans (the ones in the stand) were allowed in, whilst the ones in the terrace weren't initially, then were. After leaving the bar, could hear the stewards arguing about it, they seemed quite annoyed that we were allowed in. Great banter in the bar at HT too, always enjoy the craic in Oriel.
Shepard played on the right wing.Quote:

Dundalk have not clicked into gear yet, that’s for sure, the only ‘2015’ type of performance has probably been the second half away to Pats. I think one of the reasons, apart from the obvious Towell leaving, is Kenny has yet to settle on his MF and wings, O’Donnell, Finn and Horgan are the only 3 from 5 who have started all 6 games. McEleney is only back from injury, Shields is going through his loss of form phase, Benson hasn’t started yet and might be a big player yet, right side is still between Mountney and Meenan. He has also been chopping and changing up front, so there is plenty of time for SK to fine tune his starting xi.
One thing is for sure, I don’t see any club winning the league by a big margin this season, if it is to be Dundalk & Cork as the 2 favourites, possibly Rovers not too far off, all 3 (or even a 4th) could be in contention going into the last month.
Ps I wouldn't be ruling Derry out of a euro spot as a target, no reason they can't challenge for this if their form continues, but very early days (for all clubs), we are barely into April.
5 points dropped already is not the best start and below expectations. If other sides had dropped 5 home points they would worry due to the previous consistency of Dundalk's results even when playing below par. Sheils has done a decent job preseason, new players in and getting the basics spot on by not being pulled out of position and keeping shape, tough to break down especially when the team playing Derry isnt firing on all cylinders. A fit McEleney will be very important to us this season, as mentioned a settled and reasonably in form striker. Attack wise Horgan and Finn are carrying other players that havent hit the ground running. Expected with Gannon and his injury.
Shel fans in Limerick Saturday night wrecked two pubs and racially abused the Limerick goalkeeper.
Shower of inbred scumbags
Heard they did some damage in O'Deas alright. Why some people feel the need to wreck pubs just baffles me. Go, have a few pints, enjoy the away trip and support your team. Absolute idiots.

Not sure what happened in the other pub but blowing out of all proportion and just plain getting it wrong what you are saying about O'Deas.
Sort of like the time Rovers fans trashed the Emerald Bar in Dundalk and then it turned out somebody had spilt their can by mistake.Quote:

Not even Rovers fans would manage to trash the Emerald Bar!!Quote:

There was zero trouble. No one in O'Deas was in the least bit interested in them. Because they were kids. If they started they would have been murdered because they were out numbered ten to one. And because they were kids. But they didn't start. Because they are kids. Why did they feel the need to write in gold glitter pen on the mirrors in O'Deas? Because kids are dumb.
I heard there were kids in O'Dea's.
I tell you, I drank up and left as quick as I could.Quote:
