Your manager sent his players out to kick and elbow Bohs off the field and the ref responded to that. I thought that the sending off was a terrible challenge but one which usually only gets a yellow. The elbow in the face on Oman ten minutes later was a sending off offence but got only a yellow. Oman then got a yellow soon after without any foul being committed which looked to me like a" ILL even things up" type of decision. I agree that he is a crap ref.
The same perma tanned Dundalk centre forward continued to lead with his elbow for the entire game without further sanction.
Bohs were at half throttle for the game and were missing three key players, if the Dundalk players had focussed on playing the game rather than pandering to Connors "their all against us" nonsense, a draw was there for the taking, even with ten men.
Was the idiot who ran across the pitch to attack the Bohs fans one of Connors new signings?
Anyway, 8-0 over the three games, would be nice to get into double figures for the series and then declare![]()
Hats of to Kildare for finally winning a match
Yes a rovers fan was taken off to hospital with his leg in a brace, i hope everyone is ok that was injured.
About 6 rovers fans jumped onto the pitch from about the half way line, didnt have anything to do with the wall collapsing tho. From the tent stand it looked as if there was a surge of fans towards the wall when twigg ran over that way, to me it looked as if there were 2-3 rows of people on top of each other when the wall came down.
The wall was taunting Shams fans all day, it got what it deserved. Bray should be docked points for putting it there in the first place. And they only ran onto the field to avoid a mob of torch-wielding villagers who disappeared whenever anyone else turned their heads.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Btw it certainly wasnt our "only real attack of the 2nd half"! Yes Derry had a lot of the ball 2nd half but it was mostly huff and puff stuff and they didnt really create f*ck all. We had a few attacks on the break 2nd half including a Barrett effort that went fairly close.
Game between Waterford and Harps is off due to the weather.
Tight one as about 10/15 fans and the team had already arrived in Waterford before it was called off.
Unfortunate but there is nothing you can do when the skies open.
Town against Longford just called off, even though there is a big clearance on the way according to the Met radar.

Here is a picture in the immediate seconds after the wall collapsed (most people are still celebrating not realising what has happened). As you can see the "surge" wasn't anything like 3 people deep, certainly shouldn't have been enough to cause a wall to collapse.

The rovers fan(s) are still celebrating!!!!!!

Maybe one or two were, but not the level of people who were there after the goal. And my main point was if we take one step out of the stand we're jumped at and told to move back by the stewards. Why were people allowed lean on the wall in the first place? Should have been made stand back in the seating area

I'd love to invent a time machine then go back in time and win the lottery, buy new players and a stadium. Time machines are brilliant aren't they- Ian Holloway
