    PV's in the town has rooms I believe.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Hand was already booked wasn't he? His challenge on Curtis was at the very least worthy of a yellow so can't really argue with him being sent off.

    No he wasn't. Doona and Serdeniuk had been booked for us before that.

    Yeah, that was my bad on Comms, as I saw the ref I initially reach for the yellow and then his back pocket I jumped the gun thinking he had already been booked without looking down at my notes, he hadn't been booked so incredibly unlucky to be sent off. It was a yellow card at worse.

    Its a harsh red card looking at it again,Curtis is quicker and has the momentum going forward to get the ball and Hand kind of jumps but there's no intent to hurt him,looks worse than it actually was....

    100% it was a horrific collision but watch it back, Hand tucks his elbow in, he brings he knee up to protect himself he doesn't lead with elbow or studs. Yellow wouldve been more than enough

    To be honest we have only recently strengthened/added to our squad. We are playing an awful lot better than at start of season. Whitmarsh being injured a huge loss to us. First sending off was harsh imo but i think Jack Brady deserved to go. He was easily MOM for us closely followed by Boudiaf and James Doona. Based on what I have seen if we dont lose any more players to sendings off we should reach platform of the playoffs. Discipline is a big worry all the same. Proud of our performance!

    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Yeah, I really enjoyed Longford's performance (not for the first time this year) and didn't mean to re-rail the thread into yet another refereeing debate. A very good footballing team who sabotage themselves and leave too often without the result their general play deserves. It wouldn't take much for this team to turn into quite one of the division's best if they stay together. If.

    Home draw at least, but whoever comes of the match at the Brandywell will be favourites to win the whole thing.

    Derry admin incorrectly posting that they drew away to Bray is an early candidate for the Greatest League in the world award for this year.

    Nasty draw for us there even if Derry's form has been up and down this season. The Cork and UCD matches will give us a chance to compare the top of the first division and bottom of the Premier.

    Welcoming a Premier club to Tralee was one of the major incentives for joining the League, as grisly as the scoreline could be.

    Derry v Pat's really opens the draw up more for a smaller club to reach the final.

    We beat Galway away this time last year but not feeling it'll happen again.

    Cork v Waterford is potentially a great tie. Can Bray be a banana skin for Dundalk? Unlikely I think, but overall it's an interesting draw
