ALL 10 PREMIER DIVISION clubs were in action last night as the third round of fixtures were down for decision in the new SSE Airtricity League season.
The big game of the night was the Dublin derby at Dalymount Park, where Bohemians saw off Shamrock Rovers, who had Aaron Greene dismissed in the first half…

A brilliant late goal from Cory Galvin wasn’t enough for Waterford to take something from their game against Derry City at the Brandywell, where two visiting players managed to put the ball in their own net.

That’s a lovely bit of news
@samstheman: Still bitter I see
@John Connolly: you’re the expert Johnny boy
@samstheman: but you don’t follow a Spanish team and you’re still bitter about Salah getting injured in the final.
@John Connolly: I’ve been to the Nou Camp several times John. Barcelona countless times. If you’d have asked I’d have told you but you jump in with your assumption buddy
@samstheman: You didn’t even mention Salah, no alot of people like Ramos, particularly Pool Fan’s, similar to United Fan’s dislike for Messi after the merry dance he led them on in not 1 but 2 finals. Pay no attention, real Fan’s don’t care really.
@Virgil Van Rock: Johnny is just frustrated I’ll let him hit out as he doesn’t like hugs
@Virgil Van Rock: child
@John Connolly: the irony of that John. “But you don’t follow a Spanish team…..” he hasn’t mentioned salah or Liverpool. But you have on an article about a Spanish footballers. Also not following a Spanish team means nothing when we are talking about a player playing in an all European championship here. Nor should that even matter. It’s football related. A sport we like . Get a grip lad. Obsessed
@Seaniecp: Completely, well put.
@Seaniecp: the cough has been softened on the lad
Should have been given a life sentence for daring to tackle Salah back in May
@Chris: Liverpool fans are still complaining about this,Salah dives and Liverpool fans defend him but they signed a petition to replay the final when Ramos fairly tackles him
@John Connolly: Must be great to be you.. any subject remotely related to Liverpool you have the time talk through your hole. I’m delighted Liverpool occupies so much of your peanut brain.
Nothing but sad saps in here , grow up
Was stupid to admit it. Can’t blame him for doing it. I bet the likes of Scholes, Keane, Nedved, Terry and many more wish they did.
@irishoverseas: true but they may never have reached those finals without them in an earlier match so there wouldn’t be too much point in them over thinking that one.
He gets a two game rest for his efforts. Fair play to him……..
That’s a bit of a joke really. I know he got himself booked on purpose but that’s just doing the smart thing and ruling himself out for a game he could afford to miss. Yes it’s cheating but you see players cheating in almost every single football game played these days. Diving or feigning injury should be top of their list. These are fully grown men rolling around on the ground, pussies!
Ridiculous everyone does it
@Johnno Byrne: yeah and they know it, that’s why it’s only a one game ban. He was already banned for the next game.
