Ugh what a sucker punch that was

Poxy!
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Awful sucker punch for Dundork.
Ah pity, feck it.
One thing that is annoying is Rogers kick outs...........can he not leather a ball? Anyway..
Harsh way to end it, but Legia were far the better side without needing to look any good.
Not an embarrassment for Dundalk by any stretch of the imagination - but they'll maybe be disappointed not to have created a chance until the 89th minute.
Still, was always about the Europa League I think
Penalty decision was a shocker but that second goal has killed it. 1-0 was still retrievable. Raging at that. Was a bit sloppy to lose possession and Rogers could maybe have made himself a bit bigger.
Hard luck Dundalk. 0-1 was doable to turn around. Penalty terrible decision. When the game went into injury time I suspected Legia would get a second. Very cruel. Desperate bad luck.
In honesty it was disappointing performance from Dundalk. They hardly threatened a pretty average Legia, who for me are a level below BATE. They just did not turn up on the night.
Ireland's Shame
Tie over, got unlucky with the harsh peno against them and the sucker punch at the end.Thought the ref let legia off with a lot but Dundalk put in a creditable performance overall.
Would agree with that. Dundalk unlucky not to get a penalty themselves too. Overall Legia shaded it, particularly second half. Dundalk performed creditably, but just didn't cause Legia enough problems. Horgan and McEleney were good in patches (McEleney would be a top notch player if he was a bit stronger I think) and McMillan worked hard.Originally Posted by D24Saint
I think teams need to be reaching this level more regularly before we will have a real chance of progressing. It's all incremental steps.
Edit. Isn't Tony O'Donoghue a huge step up from Peter Collins too ? Far better as a presenter.

Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
I remember when Dundalk beat us 2-1 in the Showgs last year, they were awarded a penalty, when a cross hit Alan Keane square on the shoulder, from about 4 yards away, never, ever, ever a peno, the ref couldn't see it, but all the Dundalk players claimed for one, and it was given purely on the claims, total gamesmanship and a disgraceful decision which could have cost us relegation. The wheel turns.
Having Alan Keane should have always been a punishable offence tho.
Just back from the game. Even 1st half. Nobody had a clue what happened when the penalty was awarded. Knocked the stuffing out of Dundalk and took them a while to get going. Legia stepped it up after going ahead and were dangerous down the right for a lot of the 2nd half. Was in the 6th row behind Horgan when he was shaping up for that shot. He had a lot more time than he thought and was an excellent chance. 2nd goal was just the icing for Legia. EL it is so! Best for us all
Fck it.
A shíte penalty goal could be painfully tolerated but the 2nd goal was a pox.
LW played a good patient game, a disappointing night for Dundalk's CL hopes, but not bowed.
That second goal kills the tie for me. Good effort from Dundalk but they didn't do anywhere near enough in the final third to secure a draw. Missed opportunity, Legia were marginally the better side but are nothing special and beatable but to overcome 2 goals away from home is stretching it
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
I would have to disagree.
Boyle (because he moved his arm, along with his entire body, downwards) caused his arm to be in an unnatural position, and his arm then came into contact with the ball.
You could argue it was have been deliberate too as he must have known there was a half decent chance the ball could come into contact with his arm. It was at best very careless.
2-0 was a harsh scoreline on Dundalk though, and you'd imagine that'll kill the tie off. Even if they were to score first over there, it's still a huge ask.
Interesting to note though that Legia are playing a league game this weekend, whilst Dundalk are not. Maybe it's just a wee something that could give Dundalk an edge.
I just saw the highlights on ITV, christ that penalty decision was a disgrace

I was very proud of that performance. Dundalk played some lovely football and were building good momentum until the debateable penalty that was awarded to legia.
The second goal at the death was a sucker punch. Dundalk should have accepted the one nil defeat but they keep trying to create, and paid the price.
