In relation to my earlier post, seems I did miss something!

Erm, eh, cough... //embarrasment

BAN THE SCUMBAG!

City fans were behind O'Donovan so had perfect view, tv camera angle does not do justice.

When Roy was chasing the ball if he turned left may have collided with Connor which i'm sure is why he moved to the right.

If O'Donovan charged the keeper how come he ended on the ground & keeper remained standing & wasn't even pushed back???

I read somewhere yesterday that he was booked for "simulation". Maybe the ref thought he dived?

It clearly wasn't a dive!

That was my take on it too (although I think Connor did take a swing at him). Funnily enough, the Cork fans don't agree!

That's the key to it. Whatever about the right and wrongs of what Roy did, what Connor did was unacceptable.

I actually agree with the Cork City fans

.I was laughing at the refs decision it was so bad when I saw it on tv the other night.How he gave O'Donovan a yellow card and let Connor away with a neck high clothesline challenge on the Cork player I'll never know.

finally got to see the highlights on the net, and well you cant really argue that it was conner that caught o'donohue rather than the other way around. i think you lot are making it out a slight bit worse than it actually was, from the angle it showed it i thought it was more toward upper body rather than neck.

but if that is going to be a typical challenge, get him out and put rogers back in (which should be done anyway)

o'donohue could easily have walked for the first yellow though
