We had a team of kids and loanees and we got badly beaten up that day. The ref didn’t want to know and we seemed unable to fight our own corner. It happened a few times that year. I have a feeling a lot of our lads have grown up since then and it won’t happen again.
I don't think I will ever forget that game. That was the game that nearly finished me with the sport. Referees get stuff wrong, but what went on in that game was criminal. I was bang in line with the shot on Keyes. So was the linesman, who thought it was a fair shot, then 1 minute later, came storming onto the field with his flag as he noticed the interference by ourseleves.. It was disgusting TBH Then Thomas been thrown into the railings. The ref thought it was only fair to sin-bin a player from each team!! Never come away from a game feeling as angry as that. If it happened now, I think the entire team would pile in.
On Flanagan Nothus, I do agree that he may inevitably cost us a game. However he is exactly the horrible b*sta*d of a player we've been lacking. He's also arguably been our best player in the crunch games. The championship is a different league but I'd have him in the team.
