Absolutely. Its about time that referees started sending people off for mouthing. We need to see more of this and hopefully players will learn that its not ok to abuse refs.
In the 1st instance,quigely did not abuse anyone.
long time nickname of Jason Byrne. Works for Hawkins tooI seen that too Dunny
If there is a video of that out there,i would pay money too see it LOL !! Kelly is a gimp,Quigleys undeserved sending off ruined what would have been a good match.Patricks are no hot **** and missed a lot of handy oul chances tonight.I dont get the "pinnochio" song that they sing either,who or what is that all about??
Before Quigo was booked he was already warned about mouthing twice. Clearly didn't want to be there. \i think only Dundalk's number 6 looked like he wanted to play. the rest, including Byrne, were a disgrace
We walked the 2nd half. Literally didn't run once

Well if that is yee then i dont think the rest off the leauge should worry,i think i may have said that already,but i like to repeat myself.
Huh? I never said we were good/bad
Just that Dundalk were a disgrace and we didn't have to play at all to comfortably win
errortel for all their problems have the table right I think
Shels are 4 points clear of Mons who both have 24 played, we are a point behing Mons on 25 games, Limerick are level with us on 26 games.
Call it the ingrained pessimism of years supporting Cork City.False modesty from a Cork fan.Almost.
I see a very similar version on the Limerick forum.
Why thank you, thats probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me

Drogheda were worse last night.
Have you seen Galway this season?
Actually, no, well on telly, yeah, but that doesn't really count. Don't think I've seen Bray either. Everyone else, yeah - Drogheda were great for a while mid season - I saw them draw with Shams 1-1 and Dundalk 2-2, games they deserved to win but last night was poorest performance I've seen by a team this year
Thats an abysmal excuse. Didn't stop ye from looking interested when Connor was over ye and ye used to get red cards every other match.How could Dundalk look interested when their top player got sent off after yee netted the first after 15mins ? Up hill battle then.Kelly gave yee everything,aided by the two linesmen.So much for Kelly being the best whistler in LOI. O' Connor got booked for that silly wee celebration in front of the shed btw,i think he done that because he got a bigger cheer there.
I'd nearly go as far and say ye were better under Connor. Didn't ye finish 5th under him? Foster has done poorly in his 2 seasons, Fair enough he has a small squad, but quality wise its a good side.
Foster will hardly be kept on will he?
Seems to be a the general view ok, I know of at least 4 season ticket holders who left at HT. They were disgusted at the lack of effort. 3rd year in a row our season is over with 2 mths to play, and these guys are on very decent money too. Byrne, Bolger, Ward, Gaynor, Cherrie all very poor overall, as for the sick list, Hawkins/Maher both had 'form' too risky to sign in my view. Others just couldnt give a toss at this stage.
I wish we could recruit thetype of players like yourselves and Bohs do, nothing too attractive, but by fxxx they work for the team and put in consistent shifts.
As for Quigley, I dont care if people say he didnt say that much to the ref, he was only after a yellow, doesnt wash with me, to get sent off after 15 mins is a disgrace, but of course Foster will blame the refs, just like Connor did two years ago.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
This is a real bugbear of mine. It's one of the two aspects of our game that I despise (the other is "simulation").
This can't be changed by individual referees. It's up to FIFA to set the tone, and then let every association on the ladder after that follow them. Down to every level of the game, especially including schoolboy and schoolgirl leagues.
There should be zero tolerance of verbal abuse to referees. Each and every instance of it should be a booking. A few sendings off (and consequent points dropped) and players would learn to shut the phuq up.
I would go so far as to say that players shouldn't even be allowed to talk to the ref. The captain maybe as his or her side's rep, and that's it.
I've often thought of becoming a referee, but haven't done it because of the inevitable abuse that I'd get.
There isn't enough abuse of certain referees. They're nowhere near good enough to merit penalising criticism of their decisions. There certainly isn't enough criticism of Buttimer or Hancock or McKeon and if the 'refereeing panel' won't do it...
Their decision making is by far a bigger problem than simulation or mouthing off. In the majority of cases, the person mouthing off is right. Perhaps the blame lies on the poor role models for new referees than the abuse they get.

The Model Club
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.
wonder will foster swap clubs with connor again?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
I don't see how players screaming abuse at these (or any other) referees would improve their ability to make good decisions.
Just so we're clear - I'm not here defending the quality of LOI referees that you may have a problem with. I'm simply stating that the game of football would be a better place if abusing referees wasn't endemic within football culture.
Referees might actually listen to criticism of their performance if it wasn't couched in abuse, or if they didn't have to run the gauntlet of angry supporters/players/parents.
Now you're setting up straw man arguments. Its not an either/or between poor refereeing and the poor behaviour of some players.
I'm not sure what this means. Is it another way of saying that referees deserve everything they get if they get a decision wrong?
Absolutely no way.
The only club Seanie is with now is a strip one.
And I dont think Fozzy wants First Division football next season either.
Cumann Peile Dún Dealgan - Champions 2015 (too many accolades to be typing)
Termonbarry Athletic TID!
Foster going west? 100% No
It's down to the managers that our players work so hard, As I have said before, Foster is the worst manager in the league
Here on a technicality.
Even if Sean Connor was still managing Galway, Foster would still be easily the worst manager in the league. He hasn't even got Dundalk being competitive with Bohs ffs. He's been found out big time this season. And he's running out of bull**** aftermatch nonsense on MNS as well. I reckon this is his last season in the LOI. Awful manager!!
