That was bad alright, as was getting players names wrong in the report. Still, better than Gavin Jennings

Other lowlights are Con Murphy attempting to do Italian accent anytime Trapattoni is interviewed and talking about Gah on a football show.

Brennan GOTM, what a joke.. Bout 3 ahead of that, lovely free kick but the lad from bray, and lally for us were better goals.

**sligofan4ever** · 08/09/2008, 7:58 PM

Chris Butler was on the wrong end of the good the bad and the ugly. no way brennan deserved GOTM, IMO opinion should've went to that Cobh player.

On the plus side, it gave me a chance to step out and have a fag

Tyrells goal looked even better on the tv, great strike.
I still think Chris Breen was so afraid to miss that he took it right to the goal line before shooting.

tyrell was also very unlucky with the lob over the goalie.. wonder will he have a hope of getting back into the shamrock rovers team once his loan deal is up? is that the lad that shamrock rovers got from bray? hes a serious act...

**Straightstory** · 09/09/2008, 8:09 AM

Rice easily the best '60' thing ever. Just because he came across as a likeable, good humoured chap.
Serious omission not to show (or even mention) the Bohs' lad's World Cup goal.

A lot of padding in the show even showing Tony O'Donoghue getting hassle from Ireland fans in different cities. Would love to know what he said to them after the transmission was over.

Felt like Harps v UCD went on for ever

To be honest, Tyrell has been brutal since coming to Harps, he only started on Friday night because Mar Brolly was suspended. Had a great game though and hopefully that continues on Friday against Drogheda.

I was standing in the crowd that soaked him in beer in stuttgart in 06, and his retort was something along the lines of "ye shoer of C****" or something like that!

all in good fun though!

That's the chap. Unfortunately, he's not as good as that one game might suggest. He did brilliant for us when he was on loan from Shels then he just went bad once he signed permanently. He wasn't playing so he went to Rovers. Scored on his debut but then he fell out of the side and left again.

He's a very frustrating player. He has the talent but his form is terrible.

I wouldn't get too upset about that. They talk about football a bit on the GAA shows too. Just Sunday, they were comparing Brian Cody to Alex Ferguson.

Also, the footage of the Irish lads harassing TOD made them look like ********s.

**celticV3** · 09/09/2008, 3:37 PM

Can i ask anyone who watched the show tongight and the last 3 or so weeks? Every week now we seem to be allocated a slot to show how more than one important decision has gone against us. Those who remember are yee in agreement that we have played well only to be robbed against bigger sides?

**Mr A** · 09/09/2008, 3:55 PM

To be perfectly honest- yeah, Sligo do seem to have been particularly badly treated by officials recently.

**superfrank** · 09/09/2008, 4:19 PM

The officiating in this league is poor. Get used to it.

I'm sick to death of the Sligo and Cobh fans (mostly) bitching everytime a decision goes against them. It happens to all teams over the years, not just yourselves. Other fans seem to take it on the chin, why can't you lot do it as well?

On the Bohs match, there was the "peno" in the first half that wasn't. The ball was struck at the Bohs defender from about two feet away. He had no time to move his hand. If yez had got the peno in the second half, which it was, yez wouldn't have had a goal ruled out. The goal was ruled out, I'm guessing, for the player who swung his foot in front of Murphy's face.

The Pats game, I don't remember any bad reffing decisions. The goal was legit. Against Drogs, I can't really remember the goal but I remember thinking the ref had a good enough reason for disallowing it. I don't remember Drogs' peno.

Lets see. Can i bring your memory back to your match against Drogs at Home. And our away match against Cork a few weeks back. I don't even have to mention what went on in both them games I'm sure everyone reading these threads know what incidents I'm talking about. Also not ranting but imo worst decision of the year and just shows how Bohs have gotton the rub of the green was earlier in year, we scored a legit goal, Ruled out! Our players were celebrating and Bohs players went up and scored. 2 goal swing which won them the game.
I'm not complaining now. Just proving my point that indeed we have been delt a harsh blow from officials this year for some strange reason and well, ye have nothing to complain about really, Hence why ye are not complaining.
Also just to mention we were knocked out of the Cup by a very contentious decision earlier in the year and that can somewhat be said to have attributed to our Financial woes as we would have obviously budgeted a couple of wins in the Cup. So you can see why all Sligo fans at this minute are bulling about the officials.

I know all too well about that decision. Search my posts from that time, I'm certain I said that it was a terrible decision then.

We have had dodgy decisions go against us but I'm not going to bring them up. I've moved past them. Once the ref makes a decision, there's nothing that can be done to change it. The ref's decision is final. Bitching and moaning about them just makes yez look like a bunch of spoilt kids.

What chances Darragh Maloney or the likes of George Hamilton would take it in good spirits?

**deecay** · 09/09/2008, 6:35 PM

No point in complaining about the ref's anymore,they favour the big teams.

They are inbred though

And not saying anything about it implies we should just accept the ref's decision and allow them to continually make the wrong decisions.

Like I said, the ref's decision is final. Once the decision's been made, there's no chance he's going to over-rule it. Complaining afterwards is pointless. It won't change what happened.
