There was a hand on the shoulder, but maybe he could have shrugged it off.

there certainly wasnt cause to throw himself to the floor anyway. i think he may have been taking my ironic cries of "judas!" a bit too seriously

Well I'm glad Cork won - it would be a pity to see them fall by the wayside with the season not even half gone. Makes the title challenge a bit more interesting although Drogheda are definitely the favourites. Good luck to the Candystripes tonight - I'll be glued to the box.

What do you expect?
Managers moan if their players get sent off for a high leg in the referees face.
It's the after-match interviews where they (usually) say what they really think.
Having said that, the ref and linesman were awful for both sides.

Whinger of the year..well so far my money is on Pete Mahon..not for his stupid comments about Rovers style of play on Monday being far removed from Rovers traditional style of play (having floowed them for over 30 years didn't know we had one) but the dour moaning he engaged in during his interview on setanta before Monday's game.... I've great admiration for many of the players he coached and brought on at UCD but God help them if he's like that all the time... is he really serious about being fed up because people refer to his team as 'students' ...spare us next time Pete.

**Midgit** · 18/07/2007, 3:52 PM

PAT SCULLY has to be up there as well.

**bellavistaman** · 18/07/2007, 3:54 PM

keely because he gets more press than most managers with his column.

Really

Hed be way way down the list if I was to think of a dirty player

i wouldnt have put Lordan anywhere on the dirty player list. but the abuse he was screaming at our bench, and the studs up tackle on Scully i think, was dicraceful, lucky not to get a straight red!

**Paddyfield** · 18/07/2007, 10:06 PM

Slightly off topic but anyway...
Is it true that the new Sligo manager won't speak to The Sun newspaper because he is a Scouser and there is a worldwide protest by Liverpool fans against The Sun. Appearantly, The Sun blamed the Liverpool fans for the Hillsborough trajedy and all Liverpool fans refuse to buy the paper since.

Or so I was told by a few Sligo Rovers fans last weekend.

**half_full** · 18/07/2007, 10:12 PM

yes I think your right, I remember hearing about 20 minutes??? silence by the kop in protest or something

**Dodge** · 18/07/2007, 11:19 PM

There's definitely a boycott by scousers but its his job to talk to the media and if I was on the board of Sligo, I'd be telling him to do whatever he's told to do

Well he was taught by the best.

Thought the pen was harsh, ball to hand.
Lordan is far from a dirty player, was probably shouting abuse at his brother on the Waterford bench.

Whoriskey was a disgrace. Poor Ref?, hey whats new.

He brother wasnt on our bench tho.
i thought it was definately a penalty from where i was sitting.

Which came first, whinging managers or whinging fans?

By the way, I agreed with Pete Mahon, after the Rovers game.
UCD were the better side & got RRS bigtime!
He was entitled to a decent rant but kept himself very composed.
I'd be raging!
Instead, Scully was blowing on about injustice, with regard to yellow cards for his players. He failed to metion that Reynolds got away with murder & McGill got off lightly as well.
