So can we now confirm the RTE cameras are in fact a jinx and should be banned from all grounds on safety reasons?

Very small crowd at this game on TV...

Want to move that microphone!

Jesus these lads on commentary aren't exactly helping, been a poor game but the two of them sound like old lads down the pub grudgingly watching the game cause the lad behind the bar won't change the channel to the golf.

With Shamrock Rover not playing I did assume it was a comment on Sligo

Not sure which is more predictable!

On a side note, is the Harps/UCD/everyone else gap a sign of big problems with the First Division? OK, the gap has never been this big before, but while there's a bit of a boom in the Premier, the Graveyard seems to be getting worse. You wonder what can/should be done about that. The Quinn consortium are talking about extra teams in the league, which is laudable, but at the moment completely pie in the sky. Fewer teams seems more likely.

**RathfarnhamHoop** · 31/05/2019, 9:32 PM

Is that 12 or 13 penalties in the league for Dundalk this season now?

**El-Pietro** · 31/05/2019, 9:48 PM

Thats a joke to be honest. Ref added a well over a minute onto the additional 3 minutes. There was nothing in the 3 minutes to add on. One yellow card.
That said, we shouldn't be letting them get a chance there.

Conor McCarthys interview after the game was classic, one of the funniest things you'll see on RTÉ all year.

I was discussing just this with another Limerick fan a few weeks ago.

The division is brutal beyond belief. The football is atrocious. Maybe I didn't notice it last time as we won the division so easily, but I can see it now.

We are broke and woeful, and we are very competitive in the division.

There was a sub and a booking for timewasting. Starts to add up then.

Cracking interview alright.

That should only add to a minute. He had the whistle in his mouth but pulled it out again to let the attack develop. We should have defended better, feel for the players who are lacking in quality but not effort tonight.

The most frustrating thing is the sub who came on was the one who didn't track the runner. Hes only young and I think this is only his second appearance, hopefully he learns from this.

Injury time indicated is always a minimum though. The ref can add an extra few seconds if he deems fit. If the goal now is only 15 seconds over (allowing for a minute of timewasting in injury time), then to me there's no real complaints.
