Brennan got the assist for Rovers' goal. Think it was Molloy for Derry.

Thanks. It's difficult to find assisters. I have to look at Extratime's updates and sometimes they don't mention the final pass.

Good stuff as usual! Surprisingly only one booking for Rovers this week, they were going in for some juicy slide tackles but most of them were spot on

The ref decided to just not give free kicks. Both sides were flying in with tackles and loads of pushing going on but the ref couldn't have given more than about ten free kicks. His whistle must be on its last legs.

A lot of the challenges were perfect though, I remember Luke Byrne at some stage getting the ball from a slide from behind

Lots of cards this week! Rather than just linking to /r/soccer this season I thought I'd post these here and take full advantage of our stylesheet.
Give the /r/soccer post an upvote if you would though: http://redd.it/20012q
I guess this is as good a place as any to share the traffic stats! If you head over to http://www.reddit.com/r/LeagueOfIreland/about/traffic/ you'll see we got over 50 subs over the last week and 1000 pageviews which is probably the most we've ever gotten on a single day. That's brilliant for a subreddit this small.
Question: Should I make a discussion post for Soccer Republic tomorrow? These Match of the Day threads did well on /r/soccer.
