I didn't think I could think any less of Buttimer but yet again he surprises me

God I did not miss any of the diving and all this crap from the tossers in the world cup, i was so glad to be back into the league of ireland last night.

Bohs looked focussed and in control to me., If UCD repeat that performance they will be competing with the Drogs for second last

If I was Connor, I'd be a lot more annoyed about the way Galway stopped playing when they went ahead until they went behind rather than at some throwaway comment from the ref.

That said, how he didn't give Galway a penalty is beyond me, and the first Bray goal looked to be offside.

The second part is true, although it was our worst performance of the season by far, and hopefully a one-off.

The first part isn't true (or half of it isn't anyway). Bohs rarely looked focussed and gave the ball away far too casually far too often.

Keeping with the spirit of speaking no english in the gaeltacht,your friends should text you the result as Gaelige.
Hopefully it will read ' Ruaigairi na Seamroige a cuig- Dundealgan a naid!

Several blatant fouls going on right in front of him that he simply ignored or favoured to the home side. A couple of throw ins given the wrong way. And a goal kick given to Dundalk where the ball, plain as day, bounced straight on the line and was going to a Drogheda player who was free to get a good cross in.
And of course their was the disallowed goal for offside near the end. Some people thought it was a legit goal, some didn't. Not sure of the rule on it in those situations myself

I didn't think the ball was out for that goal kick alright. Offside will be interesting to see on MNS, but I believe there was only one man on the line. I can't say I noticed anything else going our way.... but I think we'll have to agree to differ ... forever!

there were 2 defenders goal side of the keeper, and of course Daly, who headed home. There seems to be some confusion as to the rule on this. One fan I was talking to (who is a ref) said Daly made his run from an onside position when the ball was played. I don't know!

Heres the highlights - http://www.dundalkfc.com/dfctv.asp
Goal looks fine to me

. The disallowed goal from the first half looks fine as well. And that opinion was backed up by Drogheda fans who were seated in the main stand.

Would be quite all happy for all Bohs games to be as handy as that ! Never under any sort of pressure and comfortable throughout. Not sure what more Bohs could/should have done, they did try to pass the ball but not helped by the pitch. If that was a "bad" performance by Bohs then God help UCD !
