No he wasn't. Doona and Serdeniuk had been booked for us before that.Quote:

100% it was a horrific collision but watch it back, Hand tucks his elbow in, he brings he knee up to protect himself he doesn't lead with elbow or studs. Yellow wouldve been more than enoughQuote:

Based on what I have seen if we dont lose any more players to sendings off we should reach platform of the playoffs. Discipline is a big worry all the same. Proud of our performance!
Yeah they do on booking.comQuote:

It wouldn't take much for this team to turn into quite one of the division's best if they stay together. If.Quote:

Second round draw
Finn Harps v Skerries Town
Derry city v St Patrick's Athletic
UCD v Galway United
Cork City v Waterford
St patrick's cyfc v Wexford
Bohemians v Rockmount
Kerry v Drogheda United
Bray Wanderers v Dundalk
Home draw at least, but whoever comes of the match at the Brandywell will be favourites to win the whole thing.
Derry admin incorrectly posting that they drew away to Bray is an early candidate for the Greatest League in the world award for this year.
Nasty draw for us there even if Derry's form has been up and down this season. The Cork and UCD matches will give us a chance to compare the top of the first division and bottom of the Premier.
Could not have asked for a better draw really.
Welcoming a Premier club to Tralee was one of the major incentives for joining the League, as grisly as the scoreline could be.
Drogheda might charter a plane!
Derry v Pat's really opens the draw up more for a smaller club to reach the final.
We beat Galway away this time last year but not feeling it'll happen again.
Cork v Waterford is potentially a great tie. Can Bray be a banana skin for Dundalk? Unlikely I think, but overall it's an interesting draw
Am i wrong in thinking that kerry airport sponsor Kerry FC?Quote:

I think that's incredibly harsh on Galway United's season. They've won 20/23 games with +51 goal difference, there's no way it can be fair to summarise the season as simply 'not losing games'.
Coming into the season I've never been more downbeat on our promotion chances with another year of JC with the muck we were served up last season, the latter months in particular were grim watching.
But it's been an incredible season and even without playing well this past month the points have kept accumulating. Can't see there ever being a more productive season for Galway in my lifetime so I'm trying my best to enjoy every game as much as I can. There's going to be a lot of disappointing Fridays next season.
Was hoping for a big team in Terryland in the draw but happy enough to be given a 60/40 tie and see what comes in the next round.
I reckon Bohs or Pat's could bring close to a 1000 to Galway and make the game a sell out if it worked out like that.
I meant that from the suggestion that we’d destroy Harps. That hasn’t been our style in the last few weeks: our last 3 games have been two 1-0 wins and a 1-1 draw. Even the game before that mini run we were muck in the first half against Longford and only turned it on in second half.
You say yourself “even without playing well this past month the points have kept accumulating” - that is exactly my point!
We have been very good this season but have morphed from a team that destroyed opponents into one that just doesn’t lose games. Nothing wrong with that, it gets the job done, but if I had to pick a side to win by 3 goals against anyone right now, I would
be more confident putting my fiver on Waterford and Ronan Coughlan than on ourselves and our lack of a goal-scoring striker this season.
Daniel Lafferty given a six-match ban for his red card against Drogheda on Friday,what the hell did he do?
Was for hitting out? Seems a bit much.Quote:

According to the below article Lafferty's 6 game ban is not just for the incident with Kyle Robinson but also for comments he made to officials
https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football...h-ban-fai-cup/
I was at the game, he loafed Robinson and then took a good while to leave the pitch.
Decent draw for Dundalk though Ive always felt playing at home is the 1st hope. Some nice fixtures, Derry V St Pats people will call as the stand out one but Cork v Waterford will be as much an interesting one for the neutral. A number of the smaller clubs will progress. Chalks off another few tricky draws in the next round. Not the done thing to be looking beyond the next game these days but Ive a gut feeling that Dundalk and Drogheda will be pitted against each other at some point along the way.
Misbehavior must be punished. But I think a 6-match ban is too harsh a punishment.Quote:

I have the weekend of 18/09, 08/10 and 12/11 noted in the UCD programme.
Full round of league fixtures down for those days, so postponements would be required of course.
Drogheda tickets were released this afternoon - Main Stand and East Terrace already sold out, so well on course for a full house to be confirmed either tomorrow or the day after.
Main Stand and East Terrace are on Season Ticket sale. Some might go on release after. Tickets did go on sale briefly but the blunder of not giving season ticket holders first choice to buy was quickly spotted. Kerry FC avoided an own goal. Own goals like that can leave staunch supporters disgruntled.Quote:
