Ah stop Nigel. If a photo not taken at the time the ball was played can add to your suspicions of offside, then you're actively looking for it to be offside.
The photo is in fact utterly redundant in deciding anything about the offside. We don't even have the least indication when the last pass was played.
Not sure what to make of Athlone. Keeper fumbled a shot through his fingers within the first minute, made a great save a minute later, was dodgy for a while after that but by the end was man-of-the-match. Their defence was practically non-existent; never seen a defence as badly organised and maybe doesn't reflect too well on us that we only managed four. But up front, they could play a bit and caused us problems.
Maybe 6-3 would have been a fairer reflection of the game. They'll - entertain this season.
24 goals conceded with 12 scored in 7 league and 1 cup game so far this season.
Strange decisions according to Ash at 2-1 down where he takes right full off then brings on a centre midfielder and drops other centre mid to right full. 3-1 down takes off attacking midfielder and puts on a right full.
Colin Fortune as manager 2 games with 2 wins, 3 goals scored and 1 conceded. He gets replaced and Monsanto takes over. 6 games with 5 defeats and 1 draw. 9 goals scored and 21 conceded.
It's not just the defeats either it is the manner of them. Unorganised, no passion, like a team with eye on other things. Could see a totally foreign team on the field after transfer window of it all lasts that long.
Crowds getting very small and the real hardcore boycotting games etc. Not looking good from the outside and no information coming out from the club in any form

Good coverage Alan.
They're the only team we can actually beat so I hope Ricardo and co keep fighting the good fight.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Would you say it's Cork's first series to lose?
Rovers are gas. No surprise we conceded from a free kick at the end - Bradser seems to have them training to defend set piece in clown shoes. Still think we'll click at some point but might be too late to get anywhere near the top three by then. Only consolation is that there's no other outstanding team outside Cork and Dundalk.
I'm half expecting us to beat Bohs and Pats, get a big crowd in for Bray and then **** it up. I know Bray are having a good season but they have a terrible record in Cork. Two wins ever. I think in 1992 and 2013 (Thanks Tommy Dunne) so if we won ten and lost to Bray that would sting.
But in all seriousness, we're rolling right now and it wouldn't be a total surpris if we won every game from now until Dundalk in June. No one until then (Bray aside) looks like they could get anything from us (unless Rovers get an actual real life manager before we play them).
At the same time, teams will sit in deep and look to frustrate us. Seani only needs a half a chance which is good but he'll get a knock or something at minimum eventually. Failing that he can't stay in this form indefinitely. Something could go wrong in any game and if we lose our momentum who knows what happens. The other problem is with every game e win the pressure to win the next one grows.
Eventually a slice of luck won't go our way, or teams will figure out a way to play against us. We also haven't been blowing teams away, at lest until the last couple of weeks (and against Galway who look poor) so there are plenty of ways this streak could end. Enjoying it while it is here.
They should get 3 points in Dalyer anyway. Bohs are missing half their team at the moment due to injuries and looked poor at home to Pats 10 days ago. I suppose they haven't the biggest budget so once a few injuries stack up they're very depleted.
The Pats game on the other hand is less predictable. Against Bohs, Pat's put in the best performance i've seen from them in well over a year, but then the performance dropped again against Limerick last week. It just depends what Pats team shows up on the night.
