QuoteWhat was the attendance there tonight?
EDIT: just saw 2,538 official on Extratime. Which isn't overly amazing given the rivalry and the occasion.
Heroic performance from 10 against 12. That was probably Collie's biggest contribution since joining the club. Waste of oxygen.
Lets redefine what it means to heal

2538, close enough to most peoples predictions.

He played an absolute stormer tonight. Nearly scored too from a cross!Originally Posted by BonnieShels
Just hope that Shels are playing the likes of Pats every week next year.
Ah now, he's had the odd decent game. The 1-0 win away to Monaghan, for example - he was excellent. He's not always Mr Calamity. Didn't deserve to get sent off tonight.
He Struck out in a manner that if his kick had have connected it would have done serious damage= RED.
Murphy made a lot of it but still a red.
Arse. Murphy was climbing all over Collie like some kind of monkey then the ponce hits the deck and starts simulating. Assh0le deserved a boot up the hole (not in the head) for cheating. Galling to see James sent off when there should have been a free in his favour.
T'was the way i seen it btbw.Is there a vid of it ?? Have a look again,i defo thought it was a straight red anyway.Regardless of what happened leading up to it,he had intent when he lashed out when they tangled on the ground.
Ah I don't know if one can say he didn't deserve it. I don't think he made contact but you can be sent off for intending to kick someone in the face no?

He clearly had a couple of goes in the general direction of his face. Amazing anybody would say he didn't deserve to be sent off.
From what I remember Murphy hopped up on Calamity's back and crashed down on top of him. Then he wouldn't move off him. Jesus, yeah, if he lashed out (and that wasn't clear from where I was sitting) it's a card, but given how obvious Murphy's foul and his play acting was, James was definitely at least as sinned against as sinning. Yellow card would have been a better call.
Anyway, I'm not that adept at reading 'intent' so maybe James intended to kick him in the face. Trouble is, I don't know if a ref can be any better at reading intent than I am. Still a straight red for Collie covered up the fact that he made a total blunder in not calling for a free against Pat's for Murphy's acrobatic assault on James. He could just as easily have booked Murphy.
Does it make that much difference anyway? I just want to get back to the league with David Cassidy and Philly Hughes uninjured.
Just had a look at the thing on RTE player. Not a chance that it was a fair sending off. Murphy did a kung fu move up on his back and there is zero lashing out and absolutely no contact by James in response. Murphy grabs his face like a little girl - shameful.
Playing against pansies like that used to drive me mental. James may have a lot of faults but he is not a dirty player.
Looked like it. Very impressed with the lads tonight. Dying for Monday to come already. Gonna be class.
On the sending off; I would have sent him off if I was the ref, but I had the benefit of a digibox and I rewound it and on several viewings I would have reversed the decision.
Buttimer didn't have that option. Murphy was all over James when that ball came in and it was definitely a free to us. But these things happen. I wasn't at all bitter about the red to be fair. I knew AM would send them out all guns blazing iun the second half. Cheesesteak was great as well tonight. I know I have been critical of him after the debacle v Sheriff, but he's shut me up tonight. Gonna be a great month.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Argh damn Pats as my tasty double with Bristol Rovers implodes. Pats should have had this game wrapped up early in the second half, my god such an effort from them, and what was North doing out on wing!!!!A lot of passengers on the pats team (mcfaul, murphy) and kavangh would be some player if he had an end project. Man how bad have Pats ended up since i have seen them at start of season.
I didnt see the last 20 mins but well done Shels.
Good game and huge occassion for Shels, Pats will definitely win the replay though
I wouldn't say huge occasion for us. If anything Pats were the side that looked nervous last night. Our main focus is the league whereas Pats season is sort of resting on Monday night now.
I thought we deserved a draw out of the game and was very pleased with how we reacted to going a goal and a man down. I haven't seen any replays but my initial reaction was that it deserved a red.
I reckon Pats will beat us on Monday but we might as well give it a go anyway.
Are rte gona show Mondays replay?
Wouldn't think they will, unless they cancel or move MNS?
looks like a decent crowd in Dayler.
don't agree with Rico that that was a penalty though. His hand was by his side, it wasn't sticking out
I don't imagine they will. They didn't show our semi final replay last year against the Shams!!
