But Mount only had to play the 2nd half against 10 men.
Who was reffin?
He must log on here :D

Yeah we did and restricted Dale to a big fat 0, that's 0 attempts on goal. Oh he sent off one of ours as well to even things up before going on to award the most disgustingly ridiculous cheating spotter I've even seen given in my life.
But there ya go, league wide open which is what the MSL wanted at the end of the day. ;)
Still unbeaten in over two years of league football!
I wasn't there so I couldn't say, and while I do respect your report, I'm afraid I may have to go elsewhere for am impartial view :D
conspiracy theory, i like it.
A super achievement at any level, well done.
I can second that alright(regarding the penalty decision)
I decided to travel up to Rockmount park on Sun morning. It was quite a trip but it was worth it.
Between Avondale getting a sending off just before half time, the penalty decision at the end and Caulfield & Billy Cronin having a go at each other at half time it was all quite worth the trip.
Rockmount went one up about 25 minutes into the end game. Deasy scored from a Brendan O 'Connell mistake. Rockmount played football for the first half. Avondale then just got a man sent off, for what was a defo sending off but Finbarr Murphy was not going give the red only for Rockmount players to kind of bulling em into it. That is something I think is totally wrong but how Finbarr wasn't going to give the red was quite funny. Caulfield gave out to Horgan for getting sent off but JC was totally right. It was a bad challenge in the middle of the park, which wasn't needed
Then the half time whistle went & Caulfield made a quick burst to the referee where Cronin followed. They obviously clashed with Caulfield pushing past Billy who in turn shouldered em. It was worth the trip and the cold weather.
Second half started and Avondale created nothing but had more of the ball. They played quite a bit of long ball, infact that is all the played. Rockmount looked solid and had a man sent off, deservingly so. His first was a yellow which could have been a red only for Hally to stay on his feet. 10 minutes later he gave away another foul and then when he gave out the finbarr he picked up the ball and lashed into the other field. How that wasn't red then I don't know what is(I'll get on to Damo).Then came Damo, I'm laughing while I'm typing this cause I have to say it was was so bad a decision a person would have to laugh. I'm trying to think which was worse, his scream or his fall. I wouldn't call it a dive cause he couldn't even do that right. He landed on his knees standing upwards with his two hands in the air screaming but how Finbarr gave it was I suppose as Cliffy said disgraceful. It was shocking. Without doubt a yellow for diving. I was surprised how calm Rockmount were afterwards cause Caulfield would have went mad, AGAIN
Overall Rockmount were the better team and looked like they were in third gear. The dale looked quite poor.
Pick of the Match: Johnny C & Billy Cronin at half time. These two must not like each other.
Moan of the match: Has to be poor old Finbarr. What a disgraceful decision but Damo needs to have a look at himself too
As they say "that's football"!
Oh ya, missing for Avondale
Cotter
Spratt
O'Sullivan
Missing for Rockmount

Busteed.
Finbarr refereeeing Avondale vs Douglas hall in Monday's replay. That's 3 weeks in a row................
A spot on summary in my book. Just cause I'm Mount through and through Razor don't mean I'd lie or distort things. It really was a shocking decision to the point that even O Connell was laughing when he got up in shock/disbelief.
Half time entertainment provided at Rockmount park is a step ahead of the rest as well, never a dull moment when those two meet up! :D
Always complaining about referees in Cork. How will Marys do at Wayside on Sunday?
Will they be complaining about ref if they dont win?
How come you never mentioned Micky "Rocky" Deasys attempt to punch the knees off the soon to be red carded Dale defender?
Could have been a player each heading for an early HT
For the record, my impartial source told me it was a very soft penalty.
In the immortal words of Damien Richardson, they'll be "Ridden Rock Solid"
Depends on the severity of the RRS
Aw sure god help us the poor likkle girlies making up likkle stories to justify their woeful assault on Yelvie.Quote:

Interesting that footballer didn't see fit to mention "said event" either in his above post...

This came from an impartial source, no justification was made on behalf of the Dale player, definite second yellow but surely that would be punishment enough without having a guy half his size trying to knock him out.
I can see it now, "Put up your Dukes" with a hand on his forehead and he swingin furiously.:D
Match called off yesterday vs Everton, only shame was ref waited til everyone was there before pulling it. A quick trip out in the morning would have seen it cancelled and no need to make the trip.
Rockmount 3-0 Carrigaline
Beamish cup game today, easy win for the Mount team, Robbie Deasy and Pat Keane and Beech got them. Fermoy next up in this cup.
Apparently Douglas Hall 1-3 Everton is a result from the league today. They must be wrecked after Monday's exploits. Fair play to Everton.
avondale 5-1 cobh wanderers,terrible day at the office for the wanderers
I believe the Hall took another beating today at the hands of Blarney, MSL's plans to have an 8 point Hall gap at the end of Easter has blown up somewhat.
Come on Rockmount, fixture pile up or not we'll give it everything to win the three in a row.
Everton beat Avondale 2-1 yesterday up in Everton Park.
With one of the Everton goals a hoof from 50 yards the bounce deceived the Dale keeper, over him and into the net.
