To appeal the €300 fine costs €500... Nothing but a money making racket!

The FAI are broke. Not broke enough to pay Delaney 400 grand a year though. Gotta make money somehow. :rolleyes: The FAI are even so ashamed of the money they take in through fines they no longer publicise them.

Does anyone else get fined for chants? Only ever hear of Shels getting in trouble for it.

Youths got fined for fans making donkey noises (hee haw) at a particularly slow opposition player. I believe the wife of the FAI observer was in attendance and thought it "wasn't nice"

I'm sure that wasn't the first time I heard that song being sung on the box this year.

Of course everyone else isn't against it.

The new franchises in Cork and Derry have gladly sat back and taken advantage of being skipped up a division over existing clubs that were already in the league.

Sligo certainly haven't objected to the FAI interfering in the FAI Cup final over the last two years by instructing the ref at which end the penalty shoot-out was to take place.

Under FIFA's rules of the game, that decision is the ref's and the ref's alone. The FAI, following requests from RTE, acted corruptly.

Can you pay into the Brandywell with euros?

Well merely saying "Euro" is effectively "uttering insulting words" these days.

They do take euro.

Epic. I wish there was an applause gif.

I can't believe the Shels fans got fined for that chant! What a joke!!!

I pray for only two outcomes from the draw for the next round of the FAI Cup! A home draw for Pat's and Shels to be drawn against Cork!!! :pac:

There will be 20,000 Shels fans at that game too.

You might not be able too see them, but they will be there alright.

Going on the pats "drink bus" tomorrow kinda scared, they seem to have an ability to get onto this bus sober and get off stupendously drunk.

What is your issue with that decision? Are you claiming the FAI picked that end to negatively impact on Shels? Interfering?

It didn't impact on the result. Didnt affect Rovers' penalties and didn't affect Shels unless you're looking for an excuse.

Rovers could've taken their penalties on the goal-line and missed. Jaysus, we've missed enough in front of Rovers fans in Tallaght to know this. I don't know of any Rovers fan who took issue with what end the penalties were taken from or who took that decision.

Correct.

I usually leave work at 3.30 from Swords, should be plenty time to get to Bray, if the game was at a normal time, not poxy 7PM

Home to my house to drop the car, bus to town and then out to Bray on the Dart, I barley had time for a pint in the pub beside the Carlisle.

What? You barely had time for a pint? Fuck the pint, get inside!

upandcumming

Anyway, huge game for the Town on Saturday! 7 point gap or 1 point gap up for grabs!

Come on the TOWN!

It is irrevelevant why the FAI interefered.

FIFA's rules of the games clearly state this is a decision for the ref.

The FAI interfered with his running of the game.

They unduly influenced the outcome of the game.

After all the whinging Delaney & Co. done about fair play after what happened in Ireland's WC play-off game in Paris, they certainly showed themselves up as a bunch of hypocrites.

I tend to agree,

We did have to take them into the Sligo end but the players have to take the ultimate responsibility for the shit penalties although the ref should have called some of the goalkeeping "anomalies" in both fi9nals.

Pats fans have outdone themselves this season with regards to alcohol levels.

Do you have drink buses? lads in work always complaining their bus they not allowed drink on it?

I know of one that is definitely non-drink but not all of them.

We've one no alcohol 'family' bus this season too. Never been on it.

Derry City have the gay friendly Farters Bus.

Louth derby on RTE this evening. Not the best time for the cameras to be coming to Oriel given that the majority of our fans have stopped attending the games. I reckon there will be about seven or eight hundred there this evening.
Expect McCaffrey to be confronted by angry fans if result doesn't go our way.

No Rafter this evening for us but Mark Griffin is back and he's looking dangerous. Dundalk old boy Tiernan Mulvenna should start for the Drogs. I'm hoping and expecting a 4-0 home victory.

JoeyJJ

With Dav, Keane and Boco out I will be very happy with a 93rd min goal to win a bad game off the ref's ass.

Should be a tight game in Dayler tonight.

WindmillWarrior

Hopefully we'll give our neighbours a good kick in the balls while they're down tonight. 3-0 Drogs!

Reckon most of the lads on my bus will be drunk getting ON it - how mad are we!!!

Yeah, and its hard to get an atmosphere going in Boriel at the best of times! Its a pity this one isn't in United park. The derbies in UP over the last few seasons have had crackin atmospheres.

Hearing rumours down our way that Griffin will be signing for us sooner rather than later. Any word up your way?
4-0

That's a massive leap there. Shels' penalties influenced the outcome..

As far as I know it's the only one

Just a piece of information for you: it happens all over the World at penalty shootouts. The local police, the chief steward, the TV company, almost anyone can request the referee to go for one particular end for the penalty shootout. The referee will take any request on board and make up his own mind.

You are expecting a 4 - 0 win have dundalk even scored 4 league goals all season ? 1 2 i reckon . A tight game with dundalk having a big advantage with the plastic pitch as usual ..

You'll be calling it Scoriel Park this evening when we knock four goals past your dodgy defence.
Hunky Dory Park is a bit of a graveyard as well to be fair. Was at the Drogs- Shels game last month and they easily out-sung your lot.

No chance. You can have Gary Shanahan though.

Dundalk pull back level with Drogehda and almost immediately go behind again to a great header!

C'mon Bohs... HOLD F*CKING ON YOU C*NTS!!!!!

On a fine unbeaten run at the moment....happy days.

Hammer Archer

Looking more and more likely that we're going the season without winning away. 3-1 to Bray was incredibly flattering for them. Their third came in the 94th minute and how we didn't score at least 2 more with some of the chances we had I'll never know. Quigley was immense between the sticks for them and Jason Byrne could have had a hattrick with better finishing.

Well I was hardly going to do anything other than travel up there and get behind the team. If we can maintain that level of performance, we will be grand.

BigBrownBear

Great tribute to Joe Merriman by the Ultras.
Decent amount of Corkies there too and very vocal.

Kenny hasn't got the tactical awareness of M O'Neil.
MON changed games with his substitutions....SK's are baffling

But booing a substitution is wrong. Kavanagh should have got a standing ovation

stovelid

Thanks to the Cork support for their applause and respect.

dreamers75

We can confirm that @BrenClarke1 has touched the ball ten times tonight. 9 times from back passes and once from a corner. #mns #rtesoccer

Should be ok to say we dominated Mons, they were rubbish. Not one shot in the whole game in fairness Bucko changed his tactics to combat teams that sit back.....play ****ing 5 up front!!! So we have the back 4 with someone sitting and everyone else pressing onto the centrebacks.

It works

Wont do it vs the teams that dont sit back vs us tho, too dangerous.

had 4 mondogs by half time
