Whatever about the rest, but Hoban went to get up and McGrath pushed him back down, clearly indicating for him to stay down. It was ridiculous. Not sure if it was caught on camera, I haven't watched it back. Everyone was talking about it as it happens.
I'm not questioning that Hoban was hurt, but McGraths actions were clearly aimed at making more of it.
You guys go on continuously about us scoring our only shot in target. Similarly McNulty had one save to make, the difference being he made his.
Good man. It should be up on rte player now. Have a look at that first and come back to me.
Cabo v Athlone abandoned due to floodlights failing
So that's Galway, Athlone, Drogheda and now Cabo that haves had lights failures this season
The First Division is dying on its feet at present
Longford 1 - 2 Harps. Hard to beat a 90th minute winner.
Picking my eyelids with rusty nails would have been more enjoyable than watching the game in Longford tonight.
Horrible, horrible game of football.

It was probably around the same time the minority of the Cork fans in the shed started throwing bottles at the Dundalk team and officials leaving the pitch. Why would the tiny few even think of doing that?
I watched the game back, still think Dundalk deserved a draw but I will also counter this by saying we spent far far too much time passing along the back and in the middle, end of the day Dundalk didn't take their chances up front, Cork had one short on target and won the game, that's the way it goes.
Whats probably clear from last night is there is very little between both teams, I don't see either pulling away, the final two games will be key, and I think it will go into the last few weeks, possibly even the last week.

You left out a few words there Nidge, so I added them in for you. You're welcome.
2nd half, we tried to play football and win the game. Not sure what game Harps were at. I'm going to call it hacking.
We lack a finisher or two. Obviously us losing to ye lot says a lot about our limitations, we need to toughen up a bit and start grinding out wins. But, hopefully by keeping the passing game going too.
I honestly thought Longford were really poor too. A terrible game between two terrible teams.
Harps set up so so so negative. Even despite this, Longford were still poor. They played a bit of football around the middle of the park but despite one or two half saves from Gallagher never looked like scoring a second goal.
It took a cracker of a goal from outside the box to even get one.

Cork (at times) are set up the same way as Ireland. Long balls to the big man, heroic all out defending, and scoring from a half chance with their only shot on target. Last night's game was very much a case of that. Dundalk realized once the goal went in ( and what a beauty it was) that dejavu was happening, Cork shut up shop, and they just fizzled out. Losing Gannon at HT was a big set back.John Mountney had a good game I thought, always like his style. All in all a game as exciting as a plain Ryvita but livened up by a wonderful goal.

Longford could do with replacing a few bulbs at the car park end. It was noticeably darker there with four bulbs out.
As for the game.. not sure how the hell we won that. And I miss premier division refs. There is a noticeable difference in quality between the divisions.

Pats played for a 0-0 in Tallaght too. Barely got out of their own half. I can see why a team like Bohs playing football would have them do the same, especially with ten men. I think Bucko realises the lads he has now aren't a patch on his teams of old and can't play the same way all the time.
