That was embarrasing. . We should have scored 2 or 3 in the first 10 minutes of the second half but in all in we got lucky to get a point, drogheda were the better team.
Ahhh
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
No boo boo there, different rules apply because Derry are still in the Cup and we're not.
The automatic suspension is for the next game in that competition, unless you're not in it any more, in which case it's next competitive full stop.
Derry are still in it, so Farren misses the replay. If they'd won the tie, he'd miss the Round 4 game instead.
We're out, so Konopka misses the next competitive game, which was tonight's league match.

Super win for the Bit o Red at the UCD bowl. Both teams played some excellent football at times. I thought Keane's sending off was a bit harsh, tackle wasn't fully two footed, it was fifty fifty and he won the ball.
UCD had a lot of possession and made a few chances for themselves, even hitting the post at one stage. We made a few good breaks and probably should have made it three on a couple of occassions.
Very happy. Brings us right back into the bunch. I still think we need to get a proper centre half in to push for a top three place.
Limerick 2 - 1 Finn Harps.
Sean Kelly glanced in a header to give us the lead after about 4 minutes. We bossed the first half and should have had at least one more, but Harps scored a goal of the month contender (right-foot volley from the edge of the area) just before half time. John Boyle topped that with a goal of the season contender (if only there had been a camera there) with a curling strike from about 35 yards. We ended up hanging on a bit and Davy Ryan made a couple of excellent saves to get us the three points. Harps had a player sent off at the very end, a straight red for abusing a linesman (at least, I couldn't imagine what else it was for).
what a crazy, crazy, crazy, stupid, crazy Premier Division this season.
I wasn't overly surprised when he gave him the red card but my initial reaction when the tackle happened was a definite yellow card. Then again if someone did tackle on one of our players I'd have been ****ed off if he wasn't sent off. Pity about the 2 red cards at the end as it was an excellent game. If we'd stop trying to walk the ball into the net we'd have knicked another couple but the main difference between the 2 teams was the 2 keepers. UCD keeper at fault for both goals I thought and Brush was very solid
Break coming at the wrong time
Thats the 6th time ive been to see rovers play dundalk or drogheda and we've only one of those games, dont ya just hate Louth
Ahhh
No mention of it here, but Longford Town got an injury time equaliser against Shels
Tought Buttimer was shocking tonight. A few of us thought he was on his way to book Sheppard for diving as he had been fouled outside the area (if at all) but instead gives us a peno and sends off Shelley. Harsh on Shelley. Then Brennan first kicks Bobby Ryan, then clatters him off the ball, and doesn't get sent off. Daft decisions for both teams, not awarding Bohs a free for Barry Ryan handling a back pass, waving play on when McGuinness took Sheppard out of it as he went past him, failing to award both sides a corner near the end when two efforts on goal clearly went out off defenders. Awful stuff.
Would have taken a draw before kick-off, but considering we played 70 minutes againist 10 men, and were twice in the lead, it was a poor result, Third 2-2 draw at home having been in front, another ****-up by Ryan costs us two points. Looks like Bray are gone and it is us and Drogheda in the play-off

we really played some great football tonight and should have finished the game off .Had enough chances to win it but just couldnt score ! Rovers had a few chances also but really thought we were the better team . Darius Kierans is doing a hell of a job so far , early days but we are playing a hell of a lot better fottball than under matthews . No coincidence that jamie harris is out injured . Happy days .
Well he wont be on his own in the bold corner. Tom Connolly produced a typical shocking display at Oriel tonight.
He gave Fingals Ger O'Brien a straight red for a fairly harmless foul. Obviously saw it as a "last man" foul, which was really bizarre. If a ref is not sure why not consult with the lino - is it arrogance or ignorance?
Two cracking goals tonight - another from Faz (he could have had a hatrick) and a peach of a winner form Ronan Finn. The game should have been all over at half-time with all the chances Dundalk had, but look jaded again in the second half. With 15 games in 60 days, injuries, suspensions and fatigue has really taken its toll. The break has come not a moment too soon.
Tom Connolly has absolutely no idea what he is doing.
What a mong he is...

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
Ill echo that. An absolute joke of a ref. What about the lino giving us a kick out after Clarky pams the ball out for a corner.
Despite the ref doing his best to ruin the game it was edge of the seats stuff at times. Your lads ran out of steam after the break and our better passing started to pay off.
Great goal to win it and im delighted to get our first win up there.
