Never a red, it’s even debatable whether it was a foul or not, but if he’s giving it as a foul then it also looked like it was just inside the box for a penalty. A proper LOI referee’s decision that one

Cant remember the last time I seen a red-card rescinded.

Darragh Leahy against Athlone in the cup. And he did even less for his red card. Only 2 times I can think that an appeal succeeded. This wouldn't restore my faith in the system, there's still many times an appeal failed when it shou have been granted

What's the basis for rescinding it? I thought it was only really done for mistaken identity.

I heard it on OTB that Ollie Horgan hasnt being at Galway Utd matches last few weeks. That would probably explain their decline. Also I heard there from turners cross that there was a Home fans protest against the board before Galway game. Did that go ahead I wonder?

Now Brennan did run into dead ends sometimes, but Parsons was anonymous.
86th minute? Cornwall should have taken one for the team, got sent off and conceded a free 40 metres from the goal.

Yeah I may be being a bit harsh on McDonnell. I just wouldn't think of him as an attacking change. I don't think he has a goal or assist this year and I can't remember him getting any last year. Not something you want when chasing a game

Only 25 minutes in, but I enjoy Sligo as a neutral. They work hard and everyone does their job well. Hope they don't regret not finishing that chance earlier in the matcn.

Awful red card decision. Ref was quick to hand it out, too. Didn't consult with his lino or anything.

Just seeing that Future Ticketing news, another bad look for the self proclaimed best ran club in the country

In all seriousness, their marketing and sales is on another level, but as you say when it comes to treating staff properly and honouring contracts etc it’s an area they’re lagging behind in

Keeper was under no pressure, so not sure why it is a red instead of a yellow anyways.

Can't be sure of that when they're all linked up to mics and earpieces. Lino was probably as quick to call it.

Great win for shels and shows joey was bang on with his team selection mid week.
If we can beat derry tommorow there will be 4 points separating 2nd to 5th. Big battle for europe

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 02/08/2025, 10:11 PM

Thought the lino gave it even if it wasn’t outside. Made no difference anyway as game was over. Can’t miss 2 open goals like we did.

Can see Waterford beating Pats without many problems tommorow. I wouldn’t be confident going into this game anyways but off the back of 120 minutes in Estonia on Thursday coupled with the injury list now containing Palmer, Elbouzedi, Hoare, Keena and McClelland, I can see a bit of a cobbled together side of mainly fatigued and/or backup players playing this one which isn’t ideal against a side like Waterford that work their socks off and are in good goalscoring form to boot
