QuoteDidnt even look like a free kick by cummings on tv never mind a red. Can cork not appeal
- Never a red for Cummins! And now he misses his first home game Friday.
- Pat's played some lovely attacked football Friday, be interesting to see how we do though against a team that sits back. We were dangerous on the counter but there will be games where there's no counter.
- Overall, shocking defending all around the league. Majority of the goals were mistakes. You'd imagine just settling in nerves.
- Looked like a great atmosphere at Dayler
- Waterford pitch was appalling, surprised the game went ahead.
- Nice little tribute to Miller.

Not really, he misses Friday either way. We can appeal it so that he doesn't get more than a one game ban. Madness that we lost him for most of Fridays game and all of this weeks game for a decision like that.Originally Posted by Duggie
Red Cards can't be appealed. Any straight red is an automatic one match ban. This is then reviewed, and clubs can provide AFAIK. Usually you'd see one extra game, two if it was for violent conduct. I'd imagine in this case the evidence would be very flimsy in the first place and Cummins won't serve more than one game. We saw the same thing last year when Benno was sent off for "stamping" on Webster in the league cup. Rovers never did manage to provide the evidence of that injury and Benno only served a one game ban, though even that was too much.
cork could appeal.
agreed on poor defending
water on pitch and it was removed, good decision by refs for once
excellent tribute to miller RIP
ROLL ON NEXT WEEK, was suffering with withdrawal symptoms lately.
ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.
I can't believe that decision. I don't know what the linesman has seen there to advise that a red card be given. A free kick maybe, but that's not even a talking to let alone a yellow or red card. We'll miss him for the Waterford game now so frustrating.
Brutal show. Brutal. Will be just watching the highlights and skipping the rest again this year.
"If Dundalk improve their ground - that will have a knock on effect for other grounds" was the best bit of banality on show .
Shocking.
were u expecting a new format or something...none of us watch it for the riveting punditary.
Outside of the big teams, most of the analysis is real threadbare stuff, like they googled a few headlines during the ad breaks they can fill 30 seconds with.
Author of Never Felt Better (History, Film Reviews).
Punditry was awful, Stuey Byrne just about holds his own but Fabio is hopeless he seemed to totally bluff his way through the Dundalk ownership question. I think enough has been said in the past about Peter Collins so no change there. In a positive the quality of the footage is good on the other hand the commentator for the Dundalk v Bray game was like something from a school project it was amateur hour.
A half hour programme of mainly action and cut the waffle would be preferable.
Ya the dundalk bray piece was woeful.
pity Joanne Cantwell is going on the Sunday Game she would do a lot better than that waster Collins!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
The show is grand. Most analysts waffle on anyways be it the Soccer Republic or Champions League. I was interested in seeing all the games. It's not usually the case. I wanted to see how the usual top 4 and all Munster teams got on.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
Very strange commentating on the Dlk v Bray game, was done as if it was live rather than the standard 'looking back' style.
Never a red for Cummins in the Pats v Cork game, but Bennett very lucky not to have got at least a yellow for pushing the ref, unbelievable he wasn't carded.

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
I don't know how anyone watching on tv can be sure of what happened with the Cummins incident as the camera angle is so front on and flat that it's impossible to tell what he did or didn't do. The only angle you can understand that incident on is from the side which, perhaps not incidentally, is the angle the referee and assistant would have had.
To be clear, I'm not saying the offence, if there was one, was a red card. Just that the tv angle makes it impossible to tell.
On the presentation and punditry... it was especially disheartening that the first comment about the Bohs/Rovers game was, "why was that so awful?"

Just watched the highlights of the Dundalk game, and the commentary is shocking ,not even amateurish. Completely rubbish!!
In general the show has improved but that 'commentary' was like someone acting on Fair City
I strongly disagree.
Collins continues to be a stiff wooden plank who brings absolutely nothing to the show.
Stuey Byrne is just about bearable, but Fabio O'Brien is just wojus (did he even research anything before his bluster about Oriel Park?)
It could get even worse when/if Dave Barry is back
Con Murphy to host with stuey duff and Cawley as panalists. How hard would it be to put it together.
