Correct - the lights in Turner Cross were due to be repaired by THE MFA today but now won't be repaired until tomorrow supposedly.

If the winds stay this strong it could ruin the game.
Whitechurch can be blustery on a calm day.
What time is kick off? 7.30?

Get along to Whitechurch tonite guys. All proceeds from tonites gate go to 96fm cancer appeal. Best of luck to both teams.

What a conclusion to the season. After all the ups and downs, one match to decide this season's champions.
An opportunity for us when all seemed lost a fortnight ago.

Nil all. Dale down to 10 after 10. End to end stuff. Mount great chances in last 15. 3 keepers were outstanding.

Finished 0-0, Dale had Triggs sent off early on for 2 yellows, an uphill struggle after that.
Great finish to it, both teams went for it and either team could have won it.
Playoff now between Mount and Hall next week.

Sending Triggs off so early for what in my view was a soft 2nd yellow set a precedence, some fairly soft yellows doled out after that.
Fair Play to Rockmount for donating the gate to charity.

**jacksparrow** · 27/05/2011, 10:46 PM

finbar was useless.very harsh sending off.. fair paly to both teams going for it in the second half.. some very good saves made by all the keepers... It just goes to show why you need a good keeper in reserve

Brendan O Connell went of injured for Rockmount. It was a great second half with end to end stuff. Both teams had great chances but a draw was probably a fair result considering avondale were down to ten men after 8 mins. How the hell he gave a second yellow for Triggs second challenge baffles me. Why finbarr murphy, who is a very poor referee in my view, got to ref this game is crazy. Biggest game in the league calender. This is not the first time peple have questioned finbarrs abiltiy as a referee on this forum either (rant over). Spratty had a great chance in the second half only for the rockmount sub keeper to pull off a great save. Giddy had a great chance in the dying minutes only for big dave to save to claw the ball out of net bound shot from 5 yards. I felt rockmount didnt use the extra man advantage and never really created much and will probably be dissapointed. I feel Hall getting a second chance will sneak it in the playoff.

I think the playoff is fixed for wednesday night out in Casement Park (according the radio). Although Rockmount are down to tuesday night in the o connel cup

obvioulsy i feel obliged here to defend my colleague and friend finbarr. he is a top top ref and top bloke having done all the big games and was a great player in his day. sometimes cards are neccessary for control purposes.as well as facilitating the game a ref is responsible for player welfare and safety.

if finbarr felt the game needed those cards in order to keep order in a big game then thats his choice. it can spoil the viewing for sure but that life.i know there was a game earlier in the season (rockmount v douglas i think) which got out of hand with 5 reds i think. thats what can happen.

you let some tackles go and before you know it some fella has a broken leg and you could have prevented it.

as i said he is a top ref. saying he was like a pervert with the cards help nobody. rant over as well.

i couldnt make this match in the end so im glad we get a play off to see. hope its not this wednesday though as i could have a match myself.was there a big crowd lads?

There was a big turn out. Not a great judge of crowd numbers but the whole perimeter of the pitch was full. As razor said fair play to rockmount for donating the gate recipts to charity. Nice gesture.

With regards the match with the 5 red cards. I was at that game and they were all justified red cards. Dan Deady was reffing that day and he got all the decisions right hence nobody on this forum questioned the sendings off (if my memory serves me correct). Im not having an attack personally on finbar and im sure he is a nice bloke but my opinion is he is not a top ref and shouldnt be reffing a game of this importance. I have seen him ref a few games during the year and was dissapointed with his attitude to players and his decisions. I personally think john lyne should have reffed it and finbar on the line but im sure people will probably disagree with me. Football is full of opinions.
