Mons 2 - Dundalk 2
Full time
What an ending!
Dundalk's second scorer was Robbie Farrell
Mons second goal was scored by Dave Scully
I heard it was an OG after a scramble in the 6 yard box?
Well Scully was attributed it. It was impossible to get a clear view.
Robbie Farrell sent off after being punched by a Monaghan player (that's right) - Dundalk weren't great, the pitch was worse and the referee was worse again.

Delighted- well done Mons. Just make sure the second part of this goes to plan on Friday evening
Who Cares?!
Fabulous result, well done the mighty Magic Mons!
It's very much on now, though of course Dundalk are still huge favourites.
more bass
Bennion was lucky the ref didnt see what myself and 2 of our security saw or he would have been off too. Dundalk werent great, the pitch was grand and real grass and the referee did an ok job but certainly didnt deserve the abuse that he recieved.
Oh and tell that Anto eejit that death threats to Woods are not big or clever.
disgusted with this result - two minutes away from a six team accum coming up
ARGHHHHH
mugs game
In other news, a young limerick team beat a poor Kildare team 2 0 at station raod with two second half goals from Peter White and a penalty from Paul Walsh. Former Limerick player Austin O'Neill was sent off in conceading the pen.
I didn't see that to honest, it was hard to make out exactly what was happening at the end of the game as there were a lot of bodies in the way but I definitely seen a Monaghan player raise his hand against Farrell, not the other way around. Did anyone see Farrell do anything that warranted a red card? And so I don't come across as blatently biased, I have been told that Paul Shiels hit out at a Monaghan player and should have been off but again I didn't see this myself.
The pitch wasn't 'grand'. It was uneven all over causing every ball to play along it to bobble, that doesn't happen in Oriel. Real grass doesn't equal a better pitch. The pitch in Wexford on Saturday night should be the standard that those with grass pitches aspire to.
I can't say I know what this is about.
From what I have been told Farrell kicked one of our players when he was on the ground, like you I didnt see it and thats why I didnt comment on it. It was happening at the same time as I was watching Bennion walk away unreprimanded. Maybe thats how the ref missed it coz of the Farrell incident. Its a local derby and was always gonna be dirty. Amazed no-one else (on either teams) had been booked or sent off earlier in the game.
As for the pitch, dam right Wexford is what should be aspired to. It was beautiful. But as league standards go, ours was grand. I think possibly your players do have a problem playing on grass though as they are used to the plastic now.
There were definitely incidents in the game that deserved yellow cards previously and if the referee had taken appropriate action earlier in the game to nip the aggression in the bud then maybe the scenes at the end could have been avoided.
If the referee missed this Bennion incident then it was nothing to do with looking at Farrell as he sent Farrell off under advice from one of the linesmen, which begs the question: what exactly was he looking at?!
I don't know if you've ever had the chance to kick a ball about or even walk on the pitch in Oriel but it plays perfectly, all of the time - rain, hail or shine. I don't know why you dismiss the artificial pitch in such a negative way all the time...
I think (as I stated on OrielWeb last night) that our players like a pitch where a passing game can be played (like Oriel, but not because it is artificial but because it is a good pitch). The pitch in Monaghan made this type of play impossible. In my opinion, that pitch cannot be described as 'grand'.
That is your opinion. Personally have never kicked a ball in Oriel but have talked to some who have and dont like it much (and not just Mons fans either!). I only dismiss it coz am sore that we havent been able to win there since it went in but that is made less painful by the fact that you cant win here either since it went in! We will have to agree to disagree on this one.
