I don't think O'Connor could have seen him faking his status anyway, he reacted to where the ball went after the tackle (I agree it was reckless and should have been a free) and went up the line. The two incidents could not be more different.
As for the Galway 'fan' on here who was delighted to see 'karma' being brought by a very serious injury to a player, possibly keeping him out of the game for months and with Rovers performance related pay structure, making the player struggle financially, I salute you, you are a prince among men, an absolute diamond, 24 carat in fact.
You need to take a long hard look at yourself man.
He got the ball perfectly legally, so how was it mis-timed?Quote:

so now you admit that he was feigning injury because he should have had a free kick? Why exactly did you expect Rovers to stop play in that case? Just because you want a free kick or the ref failed to give you one doesn't mean youj can fake injury and demand the play be stopped.Quote:

Every team in the league has players who'd do the same, but you can't complain that the other team don't stop when that's what he's clearly playing for.
Sullivan is not a United player so, to be frank, I don't give a damn about whether or not he misses 1, 2, 5 or 32 games. On the O'Donnell incident, while the ball was won in the tackle, I think he also took the man, it was a 'scissors' challenge and we've all seen those given as frees more often than not. And as for the Rovers fan who suggested putting the ball out when it is a head injury but play on otherwise, fair enough, but Sullivan didn't have a head injury when he went down in obvious pain. Derek O'Brien was right to kick the ball out, even though there was no foul, which Jicked seems to suggest is required for the ball to be put out of play. O'Donnell may have eventually picked himself up after the tackle, but how was the Rovers player to know he wasn't seriously injured as well? My point is that a player went down under a heavy challenge and in my opinion the Rovers player should have put the ball out, as United had done for Rovers.
Well, to be frank, that makes you a *****. No football fan likes to see someone out for a season regardless of who he plays for, it can mess up the guys livelihood and career.Quote:

You're actually arguing that if a player wants to, the game should be stopped if he lies on the floor. In this situation the referee saw the tackle and for some reason thought the player might be overreacting some what.
I wonder what would have given him that impression

Three seconds later at 70:29 after the referee says to get up as he's not getting anything

Whether O'Donnell was injured or not is not the issue for me, so Jicked stop trying to make it as if it is. You first claim the ref stopped the game in the first instance so it was alright, now it's ok cos the player was feigning injury. How does a referee go about passing one of these "spot a player feigning injury" courses? Considering this was the same ref who ignored the elbow that smashed up Alan Cawley's face against Drogheda, I think he maybe should re-sit the exam.
Simple facts - Rovers player goes down, Galway put ball out. O'Connor takes the mick by kicking it out for a contested throw.
Galway player goes down, same lad plays on, aggravates the situation and entices a foul in an attacking area.
To be honest, I think if it was anyone but O'Connor the ball would have been put out - he will be on the end of a nasty tackle from a frustrated opponent one of the nights if he doesn't cop himself on.

Last weekend in Bray, fans let off fireworks which is likely to see the club fined by the FAI.
Whether you agree or disagree - they are banned, and the club that you "support" is open to fines as a resultQuote:
