Dundalk Vs Waterford - 4:24 in.

If it had of been 1-1 and he made that decision they would have been a full blown riot.

That is a bizarre decision, clearly in the box, cast iron penalty, but the ref should have played on, and let the goal stand anyway.

Jesus thats shocking. You wouldnt mind if it close to the edge of the box but its half way into the box and he gives a free-kick. And then he doesnt give advantage for the goal. I thought maybe it was offside when he stopped play when I saw it first but that was a strange decision alright.

Yeah looks like a peno, but refs are a different breed.
Dundalk look like they play nice football, do they play like this for most games?

**johnny b** · 24/08/2008, 7:26 AM

Disgraceful it even looks like he looks over to the lino for help, why I'e no idea and still give it outside.

**Hibs4Ever** · 24/08/2008, 8:12 AM

That's unreal. The ref should get a huge ban for that

**Dodge** · 24/08/2008, 8:27 AM

Lino should get a ban too

**Massop 10** · 24/08/2008, 10:07 AM

Only for i saw this i couldn't have belived it !! Time for the FAI to start clamping down on these tossers that are in charge of first division games and getting away with sub standard perfomances as with no TV coverage they know it won't be highlighted on a national stage.

**brianw82** · 24/08/2008, 11:01 AM

That's a truly horrendous decision.
Whatever about not playing advantage, it was clearly a foul in the box. It was clear as day.

**Conroy** · 24/08/2008, 11:06 AM

Going to send it into MNS and see what they think about it. Shocking decision alright.

**skitz3** · 24/08/2008, 11:12 AM

Bottler.

**Conroy** · 24/08/2008, 11:12 AM

Email address of mns? is it mns@rte.ie?

**Razors left peg** · 24/08/2008, 11:28 AM

Thats honestly one of the worst decisions Ive seen in any sport, disgraceful doesnt even begin to describe it

**GUISAUltra** · 24/08/2008, 12:24 PM

thats absolutely terrible. if he doesn't get a ban for that its a disgrace

can play on the deck but tend to hoof when under pressure.
Standing opposite side to that and it was clear cut that was inside the box, advantage could have been played but ref blew whistle before ball was in the net, linesman was at fault imo as looked as if he indicated that it was outside the box (shake of the head when ref looked over)

**fanatic** · 24/08/2008, 12:51 PM

whats the ref's name ?

And therefore the son of Alan Kelly Snr, who is the head of the Referees. Nepotism at it's finest i see but it's hardly unusual with the FAI i mean just look at John Delaney.

Who'll be first to point out the serious errors in the above?
