Happened to be at the Athlone game last night
As I saw it, Lavine should have been sent off for his two absolutely disgusting challenges that set off the whole ructions.
The ref completely lost control, and I have no idea how no Athlone player was booked in the after math. Jinksy was swapping blows with a Monaghan player for a good while!
The penalty incident was surreal. Never seen one like that given before.
There was a horrible challenge by the Monaghan no.8 on Carmine Russo just after that should have been a red card. No attempt to play the ball.
All in all, very funny stuff. Graham Doyle slamming the gate as well...priceless!
good weekend for us the big game for us in two weeks time will be us and mons.. if we win this we should finish ahead of mons sorry magicme![]()
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Wont be asking either of them as I dont get chatting to them often. I have never seen him hit someone. He was not swinging for anyone. He was checking that Scully was ok.
Yes. As a player he had a "good" record of red cards. He is a passionate kinda guy who sometimes lets his mouth run away on him.
Would rather not drag the names of players into things as it does no one any good and the referee and delegate will submit their reports and all will be dealt with but as have said on another forum there were no angels out there and whilst others would lay the blame at our door I witnessed 2 incidents in particular that shocked me and would show that it was not a one sided affair.
