Suffce to say I can go on and on about what was a blatant injustice but I won’t dedicate an entire editorial to giving out about our great rivals as Rovers did about us some years ago. Our performance last week was one of the best in a while, we were treated to some beautiful football and some fne individual performances; one of our columnists described the tireless sprinting of Ross Tierney Premier Division as being ‘like Iniesta crossed with Jack Russell’ and in fairness that was an 1923/24, 1927/28, accurate description. It was great to see him get on the scoresheet too and 1929/30, 1933/34, hopefully he’ll continue as a goal-scoring midfelder. 1935/36, 1974/75, News that an extra €500,000 is being thrown into the Dalymount 1977/78, 2000/01, redevelopment pot courtesy of a UEFA Euro 2020 legacy project is 2002/03, 2008, 2009 certainly welcome. With Ireland surrendering our four-match hosting duties and for obvious reasons, it is quite comforting to know that the FAI Cup long-awaited project seems to be well on the way now. With the Shed roof 1927/28, 1934/35, set to be dismantled and scrapped this year, purely for safety reasons, it will 1969/70, 1975/76, be sad to see the Dalymount we know and love surrender what’s left of its 1991/1992, 2000/01, character and the wheels of change roll with greater intensity. The ultimate 2008 completion of the project will of course be very welcome and much needed, but, well, Dalymount is Dalymount, if you get me... League Cup Finally I’d like to weclome Bohemian FC Honorary Secretary Stephen 1974/75, 1978/79, 2009 Lambert to the programme team. Stephen will step into the breach left by the resignation of Chris Brien and his notes will keep us up to date on Setanta Cup what’s going on behind the scenes of the club. 2010 Leinster Cup 1895/95 - 2016: A record 32 titles Alan Bird, Editor LoI Shield 1923/24, 1927/28, Contact: [email protected] 1928/29, 1933/34, Editor/Production: Alan Bird 1938/39, 1939/40 Contributors: Tony Magner, Stephen Burke, Robert McDonald, Dan McSwiney, Ryan Clarke, Aidan Fitzmaurice, Paul Walsh, Declan Irish FA Cup Farrell, Gerard Farrell, Keith Long, Stephen Lambert 1907/08 Photos: Stephen Burke, Eddie Lennon, Martin Doherty, Conor Ryan, Peter O’Doherty, Sportsfile Dublin City Cup Sales: Gerry Juhel, Ray Larkin, Killian Molloy, Timothy Boland, Joe Collins, 1935/36 Cormac Hurrell, Oran Tully RIP Printed by: Just-Print.

Ruaidhri got his reign as Derry boss off to the best possible start with an away win at Sligo on Saturday and his team will come to Dalymount with great confdence and belief. Reecting on last week there is no doubt in my view that our performances deserved more with some good football in both games against the two Rovers and unfortunately a combination of some bad defending, poor fnishing and some dreadful offciating cost us. We need to be more clinical in both boxes, cutting out some basic errors defensively and taking our chances when they come our way. We have been guilty of missing some really guilt edge chances in the last two games and we must take those opportunities and become ruthless in front of goal. We will stick to our principles and we will not allow set-backs to set us back. We have a frm belief in what we are doing and we will do what we have always done by trying to move forward and to become better. Unfortunately a great game in Tallaght last Friday and a great advertisement for the league the case and we were punished on the double. was spoiled by a refereeing decision that saw On balance decisions tend to even us ultimately lose the game and also James themselves out over a season and maybe our Finnerty to a red card. We as a club must fght good fortune is yet to come. It is important this and although the mechanism for an appeal however to demand an improvement from our against a red card is only applicable in the offcials. They are a very important stakeholder case of mistaken identity, we feel that the card in our game and there are some really good awarded to James is unjust and needs to be guys doing a diffcult job but we must not be overturned. held to ransom by them. Friday’s decision was equally as frustrating Offcials in my opinion need to be more as the foul on Danny Grant in last year’s game accountable for their actions and the process in Tallaght which again we felt was a stonewall to which they are made accountable needs to penalty decision which went against us. I be more transparent. I know I am at risk of do not have selective memory so in terms ridicule but I cannot help but feel that if we are of balance it is important to note we have to improve all aspects of the professional game benefted from some decisions in previous in this country that all parties including offcials derby games, most notably when Lee Grace need to raise the bar. was sent off for a handball when the ball hit his face. My argument to that is that it only Enjoy the game became clear upon watching the replay back several times to realise the ball actually hit Lee on the face and not in fact the hand and it was almost impossible for the referee in real time to think otherwise. Friday’s decision was not like for like and the referee gets it wrong in my opinion and he obviously feels that James action was serious foul play to deny a Keith Long, Manager goalscoring opportunity.
