Had the match recorded and watched a bit last night, when the interviewed Glen Cronin he said Dundalk were throwing themselves to the ground any chance we got!!! No wonder there's major discipline problems at that club when the management make comments like that after that tackle.

Dundalk players do throw themselves on the ground all the time and every ref let's them do it. They go down holding their faces whenever an opposition player looks at them ffs.

It was a bad tackle and the player was sent off for it and will miss the replay. He has been adequately punished for it. Not sure what more you want.

I don't believe a yellow card was adequate punishment for it, do you?

Depending on the length of suspension it may mean he would miss the final should yous get there. Less chance of that happening as it was two yellows so probably just a one game ban

Firstly that post was not aimed at you (but i think you know that, more the reincarnation of a former idiot rovers letting on fan) it was a huge game for us and was delighted to take use back to our rented home, the tackle was (and let there be no doubt) an absolute shocker and a possible career ending tackle, a cowardly act by a fuppin numbscull, i personally cant stand Bradders and his tactics but hey that is just me, the biggest dissapointment for me on the night was the usual fckin carry on from our support it really has become a fckin national embarrassment at this stage grown men acting the neanderthal sad bastards but hey a lot of our fans will do anything to play it down by using any excuse to deflect which makes them every bit as bad as the scum who support us

I had a look at this chaps posting historiography and it appears he changed from supporting Queen Victoria's boys to the good guys. Jolly good show.

I think it will be poor unfortunately.

- there's been a shameful lack of marketing for it
- it's the same two teams AGAIN
- It's barstooler heaven today with all the big English teams playing.

I reckon the attendance will be circa 20k
