In fairness that would happen at any game where the home crowd is over 1000 and at the receiving end of 3 red cards no matter how justified they were.Quote:

That's the thing. I have no problem with all tackles like that being stamped out as long as refs are consistent. Here we have a the same ref sending our player off for a lesser challenge.
Doesn't matter if he got any of the ball dodge he was off his feet with studs showing straight red
Given I'm in Helsinki till Tuesday, I think MNS will beat me to it! Also, the MNS guy kept getting in my way, so you'll see more there too. And also, I don't think I was very good keeping the ball in shot...Quote:

Really? I don't remember that at all.
Exactly why I don't want Limerick away. You'll regret going to Edinburgh for egg chasing last year!Quote:
It's the only league ground I haven't visited, so I wouldn't mind a game there either.
And as everyone's saying, I want a new country non-league team away. Which I think is Avondale or nowt at this stage?
In on topic news, both tonight's games are still scoreless.
Tullamore and Belgrove both 1-0 up now. 24th minute penalties for both.
I, and the ref, and the MNS panel at the time disagree. He could've been sent off, sure. He wasn't.Quote:

Pfft; the ref. :rolleyes: What does he know?
2-0 Belgrove now. Salthill have equalised in Tullamore.
Buttimer delayed going off after the game because of a scuffle in the tunnel area between the players. There may be trouble ahead for one of the St Pats defenders in particular.Quote:

What is with fans jumping on the pitch when a goal is scored anyway? Can you not just celebrate the goal in the confines of the away section?
It finished:
Belgrove 2-1 Avondale Utd
Tullamore 1-3 Salthill
sligo were awful bad on friday lucky to beat athlone so they were
I am not defending anyone.Quote:

The starting point is that spectators should not invade or encroach on the pitch at any match.
I think you are probably right. There is a deep irony that an absurd decision by one ref (in the Quigley incident) may have influenced a harsh (but technically justifable) decision by another in a different game.Quote:

5-1 Bohs now, Madden with his hat-trick.
EDIT: 6-1, Higgins.
Of course I have, but I just don't see the need to run on the pitch to express such feelings.Quote:

Sounds like a justification of pitch invaders!!!Quote:

Draw for the next round is on MNS tomorrow
I didn't realise but the fourth round is not due to take place until the week ended 29th of August, almost 3 months away.

They play this round near the end of the intermediate season, and the next round near the beginning of the next intermediate season.Quote:

Well done to FC Carlow today with a 1-1 home draw v Monaghan United
Belgroves 2nd goal was the most blatant handball since Thierry HenryQuote:

Nice handy draw tomorrow please :) and then we go on all the way to meet bohs in the final to be played in front of a 50000 sellout at the Aviva which we win 2-0 ;)
10,000 fans and 40,000 security personnel and Gardai?Quote:

fair play to carlow they battled well and there No 5 was outstanding but the pitch was to small like playing in an ally with far to much grass . we were lucky to get out of there with a point
does that mean we got three against Glenville? Sweet... ;)Quote:

****e draw for Limerick. Most likely away to Fingal. Not even a decent pay day out of it if Limerick get knocked out which is most likely.
Shels at home. Not bad.
Fourth Round Draw
Galway vs Salthill Devon
UCD vs Bray/Derry City
Finn Harps vs Sligo
Bohemians vs Shelbourne
Bluebell/Cork vs Monaghan/Carlow
Longford vs Shamrock Rovers
St.Pats vs Belgrove
Mervue/Fingal vs Limerick
some good ties there - a Galway derby, a NW derby and a Dublin derby...
2 dublin derbies SkStu. Shels haven't left yet...
