Drogs left feeling sick by UEFA ban.. and Aaron's winner
THE night began with a Doc saying he felt 'sick and devastated' over one decision and ended without a remedy for Drogheda United.
Instead of a cure, they were prescribed a further dose of injustice in a game-changing incident just before half-time last night.
After advice from his linesman, ref Neil Doyle opted to penalise defender Andrew Quinn for a handball on the edge of the area, booking the Drogheda No4 for his infringement.
That no appeal came from any Shamrock Rovers player is worth noting; that a stormy protest followed from Drogheda is even more relevant.
Still, Doyle was convinced he had made the right call, freeing up the game's best player, Graham Burke, to line up a free kick from a favourable angle. The Rovers No.10 didn't blink, striking his shot low and precisely to the right of Luke Dennison and into the corner of the Drogheda net.
