we won but

[thecorner]

what happened out there tonight was a disgrace.....dan connor should never be allowed play the game again...he is nothing short of a scumbag

if it happened on the street he would be charged with assault

and how the ref managed to give a red card to o donovan after he was laid out by this assault is beyond me

seemingly the club are gonna appeal the red card and if it isnt successful i will have lost all faith in the eircom league

we are trying to gain fans, not send them away

there is no place in football for scum like dan connor

i actually defended dan and said that the bottle throwing incident was a disgrace but i hope to god the bottle thrower hits the target the next time....right down the back of dans skull

He seems to be a bit of a skanger right enough

[Éanna]

Deliberately clothes-lining an opponent running at you? There is no excuse on earth. Could have broken Roy's neck. He's filth and he should be jailed for hat he did tonight. City should send the video to the gardaí

[Risteard]

He cheats.
Get over it.

Ya, that'd gain fans and not send them away.

No can so with 2 yellows. Will Roy and George be suspended for the same game?

[Peadar]

Will Roy and George be suspended for the same game?

If so, I hope it's an easy game like Waterford.

[pete]

Roy will be suspended for next 2 eL games.
I don't know when next disciplinary committee metting is but could be couple of week yet so no guarantee Geroge be suspended at same time.

I think its the time of the season to be getting the 4 yellow card suspensions & will afftect all teams so no problem...

[Dyl10]

There is no way he will win his appeal if your club try. A yellow card was deserved on both occasions.

[RedX]

Yes Roy can win the appeal..

[De Town]

A yellow card was deserved on both occasions.

are you being serious

the first 1, yes deserved, maybe not far away from a red, but the second are you saying you should get booked for getting clotheslined

[Dyl10]

are you saying you should get booked for getting clotheslined

Im not bringing the keeper into this because it has no bearing on the yellow card. the fact of the matter is o'donavan tried to run through the keeper and he ball wasnt even on the ground and its a good thing Pat Scully and Paul Osam agree

he tried to run AROUND the keeper.....

you should have went to Specsavers

[Dyl10]

that's not a fact at all.

what happened was that Roy in to challenge as Connor was bringing the ball into the box. When Connor picked it up Roy moved right to avoid him, Connor then extended his left hand and grabbed Roy around the neck and dragged him to the ground.

[EnDai]

If he did do that, then yes its a disgrace.

What I saw was Roy charging towards the keeper, colliding with him, and promptly ending up on the floor. That said, I was tired, and drifting in and out of sleep-mode, so may not have seen it all. He appeared to keep sprinting after the ball was picked up, and although it was hard to tell from the angle, over the distance he ran he surely could have moved more than 3ft out of the way, but he didn't. So to all involved it appeared that he basically sprinted into a keeper holding the ball. Challenging the keeper (who's holding the ball) like that should be a yellow anyways.

Had this happened at the other end, you'd be accusing the Drogheda player of a wreckless challenge in a situation where he had no chance of obtaining the ball, and that could have potentially put your keeper at risk. Bit of perspective please!

[superfrank]

I only saw the incident last night and for once I agree wholeheartedly with the Cork fans: Dan Connor is a scumbag. He should've been given a hefty ban for that, he almost took O'Donovan's head clean off! Disgraceful.
