Mervue Utd 4 - 0 Sligo Rovers
Just letting you know CF1989 that it was not a Galway ref, he and the linesman on the dugout side were from the midlands
Linesman on the far side was from Galway who had no influence on the game as the 3 2nd half goals were scored down the far side of the pitch
The player got sent off for hitting a Mervue lad off the ball, linesman was 10 yards away
fair enough they wern't from galway. i was right beside the incident, the 2 players got tangled together, both fell to the floor, the rovers player fell on top of the mervue player and the linesman said he swung his elbow at him. he definatly did not. he just fell on top of him, completely accidental.Quote:

trust me, i was right beside it. mervue lad won the tackle,then they both fell over and our player just fell on top of him. definatly not an elbow in the face. tried talking to the ref after but got the usual walk away or you'll get the same approach

did they play an ineligable player or were they just not fulfilling all their fixtures i thought?
I'm not aware of us fielding an ineligible player, thats news to me. I think it was just not fulfilling fixtures and late cancellations of matchesQuote:

The bus stopped on the side of the street and asked random youths if they would be interested in playing a bit of football ?
As I heard it, one of the GU coaches was from Donegal and had some connections so was able to pick up locals.
Wouldn't be 100% on it obviously.
sligo rovers v finn harps at 2pm on sunday.
No worries :), hopefully I'll be able to find out soon what the story is in regards to the appealQuote:

castlebar v sligo rovers wednesday night
Salthill Devon vs Mervue Utd tonight at 7.45pm
After Sun v Finn Harps I think Castlebar will win this one, rovers have a small squad and struggled on sun, Harps dominated the game after sligo scored and that was inside 10 min.Quote:

Salthill 2-0 Mervue
Good game last night. Two excellent teams, Mervue had a really strong spell before and after half time, but failed to score, and Salthill's second goal was one of the best I've seen in ages. Both teams have to play Finn Harps and Derry, with Mervue needing to beat Derry at the w/e to maintain a viable chance of progressing.
