Maybe you only came in at half time? Simon Madden, whose form since arriving at Oriel last July has been outstanding, played full back for the first 50 minutes. He was switched to left full when Osborn went off injued to be replaced by 18 year old Michael Hector. Lets just say he didn't cover himself in glory on his league debut.
He started in his normal Centre Back position in Glentoran tonight and had a reasonable game. He has potential although he will quickly want to forget his 40 minutes in Tallaght.
Can understand the anger at losing possibly your best player for a good part of the season. But when there was absolutely no malice, and clearly got ball first, you can't go around calling Forker dirty or scum or 'hope he breaks his leg' or 'hope he gets whats coming to him'.
Must say, few shocks in the table already with Dundalk and Derry joint bottom with Mervue sitting at the top of the first. Just not going Monaghans way with no points after the first round of games too. Shocking stuff altogether.
What was the last player we signed from Dundalk? Possibly going back to Martin Lawlor days..

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
That's the thing, mb....I can't remember us signing anyone from Dundalk
Turner was a free agent, iirc..

I'm glad you got a laugh out of that.
Sorry to say it was the great MoN that spoke first about the "morality" of it -
"The morality does not exist on our part. But we have not committed to doing any business with the player."

I got a real chuckle out of reading back on some of O'Neill's other gems around Fenns return to Oriel with the Shams:
"Fenn will handle Lilies backlash", says O'Neill

and then this:
Tipton's hat-trick humiliates Hoops
Dundalk 5
Shamrock Rvs 1

"Sporting morality" and "Shamrock Rovers" don't really go together
English...hmmmmmmmmmm
