I genuinely don't remember the kearns incident. However, if as you say he was assaulted the appropriate action should have been taken by the ref and the correct punishment handed out. As a supporter I love to see players celebrate their goals and for us it only hurts until the game is over or its brought up and relived over a pint.Originally Posted by ontheotherhand

Weirdly it was Kearns who got the more lengthy ban. Just for celebrating a win and then having his eye gouged. I think Pender got a shorter ban but I'm not sure. It was a bizarre one. But the UCD Bowl is a cauldron.
having seen the clip I remember it now. Nothing wrong with the keepers celebration. When smaller clubs pull off a major heist against the bigger clubs emotion and adrenalin kick in. Bohs No 2 was wrong to react they way he did all the rest was handbags at twenty paces.
I wasn't at the game so can only go on what was included in the highlights but if you're talking about the incident around 4.15 in the video below you need to give your head a wobble - absolutely nothing wrong with that (or with Rovers fans giving him grief in the moment) but to be moaning about it after the fact is a bit much.
Anyway - another good result for us - our results against Bohs and Shels this season probably dictate we'll finish 8. I think at the start of the season I'd have preferred to be a notch higher but it is what it is - at this stage it looks like we're well clear of any relegation worries.
Would love us to give the Cup a good rattle this year.

The way Weir lifted the elbow it could have been a straight red though hard to see if he connected. Looked like he was trying connect. There have been a lot worse antagonistic goal celebrations but it was a bit childish. Chris Lyons looked like he had a word with him.
Your number 2 was Pender and he got a 2 game ban I think which was fair enough. Keith Buckley was the eye gouger and should have been punished fairly severely but the rest was handbags as you say. Just a very over the top reaction for the game that was in it. Glad to hear it wasn't you chasing him up the steps though!
21 leagues and 25 cups.
Probably one very few times ye'd consider being thankful for not having 70k at a LoI game with 500 cameras and to have weeks of debate around one of the most scumbag things to do on a football pitch and shame the game!
I did end up in a very long debate with the bold marinbohs around it...but yeah thankfully it went largely unnoticed.. Although it might have converted a few gaa fans over.......
One of the sort of amusing about the LOI is when some random opponent who you have never heard of and don't know their name gives it loads celebrating their goal infront of you like a minnow
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
