Thought the challenge was a penalty myself, not sure about the handball.
Disappointing and heartening at the same time, that match. We matched Dundalk on the pitch, especially in the second half. Not a whole lot of chances created, so pretty gutting when the late, deflected goal went in.
In saying that, Byrne really should have made it 2-0 at the death. But if we can play like that against the better teams, we'll do alright.

On a side note, what was the craic with all the garda dogs outside the ground? Bit over the top, surely?

Strongly resisting Derry and greyhound jokes...

I was a bit surprised when I saw that myself. The dogs must have needed a run out or something as there's never been any need for a public order unit when Derry are in town.

Never seen as many police before as I saw at limerick v Cork.

Do not know what they were expecting to happen.

Thats just cos we keep giving the ball back after we win it. We have no interest in possession football!

**Nesta99** · 18/05/2015, 2:45 PM

I doubt they were there for the decent Derry folk who traveled to the game but after Dundalk's last game in the Brandywell they were likely there to ensure no retaliation from the not so decent type in Dundalk that would neither be in Oriel or the Brandywell but need little excuse for a bit of rock chucking at visiting Derry fans!

Lowering the volume wouldn't hurt either it could be heard in Greystones on Saturday it was that loud.

Penalty decision for Galway was a disgrace. Great tackle by Lopes.

Truly shocking decision.

Never mind referreeing. Buttimer should be banned from all grounds in the league

**osarusan** · 18/05/2015, 10:51 PM

Jaysus, looked like a penalty for longford also.

Said at the time I didn't think so and I'm even more convinced now that it wasn't. No contact Imo. Blanchard very clumsy but hasn't put a foot it and didn't push him. No peno. We should have buried rovers on the night no excuses

**Charlie Darwin** · 18/05/2015, 11:08 PM

Certainly looked like no contact. Shaw presumably kicked his own heel.

**osarusan** · 18/05/2015, 11:31 PM

I thought the defender caused him to clip his own heel as he went to kick, but it wasn't that clear.

The slowed down replays of the same footage don't help much.

Genuinely can't remember the last time I've seen him ref without him making a huge mistake. Sometimes he's lucky and they don't cost clubs points, but he'll always get at least 2/3 simple decsions completely wrong

Correct

Just seen footage from soccer Republic and as suspected definite penalty. I thought so Friday night and even more so now. And considering the Rovers back room staff backed up those claims is even more disappointing. Outspoken, check out the footage on RTE player and I'm sure you will change your mind!
