When Sullivan went down with no-one around him in absolute agony, it was blatantly obvious to everyone he was in a bad way, so any player would have put the ball out reguardless. With O'Donnell, he'd flung himself to the ground so many times in the game after the slightest contact, it was no surprise, when there was no free given, Rovers played on. I don't think O'Connor could have seen him faking his status anyway, he reacted to where the ball went after the tackle (I agree it was reckless and should have been a free) and went up the line. The two incidents could not be more different.
As for the Galway 'fan' on here who was delighted to see 'karma' being brought by a very serious injury to a player, possibly keeping him out of the game for months and with Rovers performance related pay structure, making the player struggle financially, I salute you, you are a prince among men, an absolute diamond, 24 carat in fact.
You need to take a long hard look at yourself man.
He got the ball perfectly legally, so how was it mis-timed?
As far as I could see, the only part of him that made any substantial contact with O'Donnell was the shin of the leg that didn't touch the ball.
so now you admit that he was feigning injury because he should have had a free kick? Why exactly did you expect Rovers to stop play in that case? Just because you want a free kick or the ref failed to give you one doesn't mean youj can fake injury and demand the play be stopped.
Where in the name of Jehovah did you get that from?
Lets redefine what it means to heal
from him saying that the tackle should have been a free kick. maybe it should have been, but the ref didn't give it so rovers are perfectly entitled to play on, the player wasn't injured but pretended to be in the hope of winning a free kick or getting play stopped.Not too hard to follow. Every team in the league has players who'd do the same, but you can't complain that the other team don't stop when that's what he's clearly playing for.
Sullivan is not a United player so, to be frank, I don't give a damn about whether or not he misses 1, 2, 5 or 32 games. On the O'Donnell incident, while the ball was won in the tackle, I think he also took the man, it was a 'scissors' challenge and we've all seen those given as frees more often than not. And as for the Rovers fan who suggested putting the ball out when it is a head injury but play on otherwise, fair enough, but Sullivan didn't have a head injury when he went down in obvious pain. Derek O'Brien was right to kick the ball out, even though there was no foul, which Jicked seems to suggest is required for the ball to be put out of play. O'Donnell may have eventually picked himself up after the tackle, but how was the Rovers player to know he wasn't seriously injured as well? My point is that a player went down under a heavy challenge and in my opinion the Rovers player should have put the ball out, as United had done for Rovers.

Well, to be frank, that makes you a *****. No football fan likes to see someone out for a season regardless of who he plays for, it can mess up the guys livelihood and career.
Also, I never suggested a foul is required for the ball to be put out of play. But there's no need to put the ball out of play when a player pretends to be injured in order to stop the attack of the opposition. You're actually arguing that if a player wants to, the game should be stopped if he lies on the floor. In this situation the referee saw the tackle and for some reason thought the player might be overreacting some what.
I wonder what would have given him that impression
70:26 writhing in pain
Three seconds later at 70:29 after the referee says to get up as he's not getting anything
Whether O'Donnell was injured or not is not the issue for me, so Jicked stop trying to make it as if it is. You first claim the ref stopped the game in the first instance so it was alright, now it's ok cos the player was feigning injury. How does a referee go about passing one of these "spot a player feigning injury" courses? Considering this was the same ref who ignored the elbow that smashed up Alan Cawley's face against Drogheda, I think he maybe should re-sit the exam.
Simple facts - Rovers player goes down, Galway put ball out. O'Connor takes the mick by kicking it out for a contested throw.
Galway player goes down, same lad plays on, aggravates the situation and entices a foul in an attacking area.
To be honest, I think if it was anyone but O'Connor the ball would have been put out - he will be on the end of a nasty tackle from a frustrated opponent one of the nights if he doesn't cop himself on.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
someone told me ya have to throw it onto the pitch after letting it off for safety reason, not sure how true it is tho
stu i think your right, same person told me home team gets the fine regardless of who let them off.
i think they should be banned by thats just me, dont really fancy having to rely on some drunken **** being able to hold it after letting it off

This is an extract from a leaflet inserted into the Dundalk V Drogheda programme a couple of weeks ago, that followed a minor incident of "bangers" being let off in the Dundalk section after the match in Bray the previous week:
It's pretty clear that Dundalk were expected a fine (Bray as hosts may also be fined)Last weekend in Bray, fans let off fireworks which is likely to see the club fined by the FAI.
Whether you agree or disagree - they are banned, and the club that you "support" is open to fines as a result
why did ya say that?? its not like i let them off.......................
Waterford 1 up.
Shels 1 up also
Shels 4-2 up now.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Salthill Devon 0 - 1 Waterford United (FT)
