If he headbutted him, he shouldn't have done it. Flynn got up quickly after the card was shown and ran back to half way line so not knocked out anyway. Mostly people would react to taunting like Flynn engaged in. Flynn seems to be a bit of character in LoI circles, that behavior not for me anyway, glad he got red for it. Could have got further out of hand near the dressing room.
I think initially it was reported as Sullivan but later confirmed as Flynn. I remember a bit of confusion about it at the time.
My thoughts on Flynn's antics are probably best kept to myself....
It was the Galway player that made a move at Flynn going for the tunnel. Flynn obviously didn't decide to just roar in his face for the craic there had been a battle going on all game between them and this was Flynns way of getting pay back for the elbow, it's unsporting but it's not violent so it should have been a yellow not a red. A headbutt on the other hand straight red.
I'm not going to come on here and say we're a better team than Galway and gloat. We could have been 3 down inside 15 had Galway taken their chances but we used our wingers well at the end of the half and the goal and the red just played it straight into our hands and after that there was only 1 winner. It was a fantastic game of football and the atmosphere was unreal. Look forward to our next trip.
City win 1 nil in bray.. djilali with the goals in the 83rd minute. Seemed we had the majority of the ball but couldn't score until the end.
We didn't play well, but still had 2 good goals ruled out plus numerous other chances even before the sending off. The wind and rain were awful again though. Caulfields joke shop selection also didn't help matters.
I fully expect Cork to improve and as long as they are picking up the wins it doesnt matter how really. I expect us to continue to improve too though and putting away the so called weaker teams is especially important this round with home advantage to Cork and Shams v Dundalk.
I don't care how dislikeble a character people feel Flynn is, there is absolutely no excuse for Oji headbutting him.

Pat Flynn is an absolute gent and one of the funniest fellas you could ever meet. Yes he can be a loose cannon at times while on the pitch but he's a solid defender and a top bloke in my eyes.
