I've just seen Quigley's tackle on Setanta..it doesn't look as bad as the descriptions of it from the main camera angle tbh. The end result does though

He dived in 2 footed over the ball.

I don't see how it could have been worse. You want to see bones proturding though the skin or what?

I know but from reactions I was expecting something inexplicable. I'd say fans of most clubs could list similar tackles. Just that they haven't broken legs.

The fact that it was given a yellow card is much more disgraceful. Same referee that sent off Chambers for not touching anyone in Dundalk and gives goal-kicks for goals, so no surprise there. :rolleyes:

Foley (surprisingly!) had a great game.

I know I don't see him every week but he was your best player in both games against us. I was surprised to hear that Galway fans don't rate him.

In fairness Freddy has the moves. Hooperman should stick to the day job....

I've been to most home games this season and tbh that was his best performance. He'll always be committed and give his all, but the last night I just think it worked for him. He got close to players, made some crunching tackles and his distribution was excellent. Also had a few pops at goal which he normally doesn't attempt.

this is a fair statement, the telly angle really doesn't show how bad it was. from where we were sitting though, Quigley was lunging straight towards us, the severity of it was instantly clear - worst assault i've ever seen on a soccer pitch

That was our reserve Freddie and he still won.:D
The person who normally does it couldnt make it.

Just in case there was any question as to whether Hancock, the incompetent fool, had a clear view of this assault or not. He was looking directly at it. How is he allowed to continue refereeing? Is there any quality control in the FAI? IS there any consequences for repeatedly making shocking decisions?
