I have to say, I missed all this auld banter somethin' fierce - roll on the league :D

Pete I'd say the match attendance figure of 3000 will be beaten a fair few times in the Setanta.

I don't know what Linfield v Derry attendance was last week but wasn't much more than 3k if even. Derry v Shels won't get past that by much either. You have to also consider only about 20 away fans so its 99% city support.

How many shots on target were there in the game? I don't think any in the 1st half. Were the 2 goals on the only shots on target? So 1 for each team? ;)

Linfield released a figure of 3800, some claim it was higher than this, but thats what was released.

Linfield have to come to the Brandy, as do the Glens (tonights match - I'll agree with you) - but I'd be shocked if there was less than 3000 at the next City home match versus the Glens, but the next Linfield match will pull 3000 punters no problem.

Colm, if we judged cork on lastnight, I would safely say they wouldn't be going for the league. thankfully I'm that naive ;)

Can anyone explain how Kelly came to be refereeing the game anyway? With the original referee falling ill just before kick-off I would have thought the senior assistant referee , Mr. Shanks , from Northern Ireland , should have taken charge , with the fourth official , Kelly , then becoming an assistant (linesman). Whats the protocol in situations like this?

The protocol is exactly as you describe.

However, look, it makes no odds. He was not biased, all the langers say and I for one agree. He is just incompetent. Bradley did connect with Behan, Fahey said something and then slid in on Murphy. All he missed was Murphy sliding in on Fahey, Behan twice blocking Fahey's free kicks with his arm and Georgie boy going through Fabio with his studs and flattening Gavin Whelan, both after he flattened Robbo with his studs. Thats all he either missed or chose to ignore. So by his standards a normal night.
And befor ethe langers start shouting Fabio could have got a second yellow.

But don't anybody tell me that Bradley's little kick at Behan (where he never even broke stride) was anyway as bad as the drink driver's tackles on Fabio and Robbo,both of which could have done real damage (or Fabios on Georgie Porgie)

He could have gone before half time for persistant fouling, had 6 or 7 fouls overall, at least 2 of which were bookings.
I didn't think he got booked at all, Doolin rightly subbed him though.

Its amazing what one set of fans will see and fail to see depending on your persuasion.

AKAIK the fourth official,who was alan kelly,takes over as ref if the original ref cant make it,not the senior assistant,ive seen it happen in english league games so i presume its the correct course of action

It's hardly the fault of each club the Irish refs are shocking, what do we expect from the FAI never really interested in the Eircom etc in any shape or form.

I think the 4th official is the senior official on the night.

The assistant referee's might not neccessarily be referee's at all and the 4th official is the next in line.

There is obviuosly a set procedure where the ref in injured etc.

No way the crowd was 3,000. i'd say 2,000 max

It is supposed to be decided beforehand, that in the case of the original referee being unable to do so, that either the 4th official or the senior assistant takes over. I think in this case it is pretty obvious that the 4th official should not have taken over.

I think the 4th official HAS to take over. Thems the rules.

Whether a Cork ref should have been 4th official is the crux of the matter.

He did get booked, fairly early in the first half.

Are you sure? before or after Georgie ?

I didn't even recognise Glen Fitzpatrick when he came on.
Looked more lke Glen Hansard than Fitzpatrick to be honest.

All the more reason then for one of the linesmen to take over. Never mind, the ref for the return match might get sick and I might get to ref it.

Here's the highlights off the club site.http://www.corktrophycentre.com/high...rogs270206.zip
Gives a clear picture of Bradleys foul in the replay (2:15 in) so ye can make up yer own minds.
