Strange, but the standard of refereeing in the 1st division last year was better it seems to me.

I hate it when advertising hoardings are so close to the goals. There should be a mandatory minimum distance. The goals in Hunky Dorys and Terryland Park are ridiculously close to the advertising hoardings.

I was at the far end of the ground but I thought the ball smashed into the advertising hoardings and came back onto the pitch. However, I was miles away and my view was obscured by numerous pillars.

What 'goal' are you referring to? I don't recall any controversial goal not given.

Dundalk won tonight without really getting out of second gear. When Galway went in front it seemed to me they weren't sure about what to do and we kept the ball and then took the chances. Great to be still in the cup we shouldn't really fear any team in the draw.

Enda Curran on 51 minutes. Shot from the edge of the box and Sava didn't move. The home crowd thought it was in.

The ball hit the post and ran across the face of the goal, well in front of the line but strangely behind the gk who would have been 2 or 3 yards off his line and out the other side of the pitch. There was no goal, it did not hit the hoardings. Perhaps a few people need glasses in the stand!

Yerp and i'm one of them i'll admit

I honestly did think that went in but there you go.

Going to head to Cockhill-Longford later despite the journey involved.

Bit of a nerve to make us score the goals, like - you could have looked after that as well, as you were being so generous.

Don't forget that's the second game in a row now and 8 goals in total that Pats have conceded due to 'ALL' goals coming from their defensive mistakes.

Nothing to do with attitude, dropping off, midfielders waltzing around, and general poor concentration.

Mark O'Sullivan had a great game last night and must be one of the front runners for the August POTM now.

Good win by Dundalk and although I was a little worried when I saw Galway had scored, the fact it was so early meant there was plenty of time and by all accounts we ran out very comfortable winners.

QF draw is on tomorrow during Sunday Sport on RTE Radio 1, around 2.30 I think.

.

a)I never said anything about the Dundalk game, but you can't deny that all of the goals last night were down to poor defending ( not saying it wasn't a quality strike by O'Sullliven but the attempts to close him down(Killian Brennan throwing himself to the ground particularly) were awful.)

b)I don't disagree with you second point. We were awful in the second half. I didn't see the Dundalk game, apart from the goals so I can't comment, but by all accounts it was a similar story. Awful collapse in the last two games after a great run of nine wins. We'll just have to pick ourselves up and try and finish the season on a better note. Still the consolation prize of the League to go for.

I probably sounded a bit harsh, but it doesn't take away the almost unbelievable collapse by Pats in the last 2 games. Cork to be fair suffered two previous defeats but they took their chances last night.

I can't help thinking it was a massive mistake selling Kilduff to Dindalk while Fagan was still out injured, why was there a need to offload him? Anyway you don't become a bad team in one week.

I struggle to understand why:

1. Buckley signed him and then didn't play him.
2. Sell him to the league leaders
2. Not replace him when his injury prone and only number nine is out.
