KdjaCL

Should be a good spectacle (wont say game as both sides ****)


But Rovers have to score twice and their fans will make it a decent atmosphere and watcahable only for them

No away goals so a one-goal win for Rovers will take it to extra-time and penalties afaik.

Totally OT: Search is back!!

Pighead

Rovers to stay up by the skin of their balls with an exciting extra time victory.

Pigman II

Mixed feelings about this. I know I SHOULD want the Hun to go down but I think I'd still rather have them up if only for something to laugh at. It'll be a shock if they drop tho!

Kingp35

I was sure this match was in TV tonight so I checked the TV listings on NTL digital and I couldnt see it.

Are you lads sure its on TV?

MrJoeSoap

Yeah it was in one of the morning papers yesterday, its probably just a late change to the schedule.

Because I love them. Just like you call MsPiggy your Hun.

MrJoeSoap

Its all to do with some bloke called Attila who apparently played for Rangers and Rovers thousands of years back.

Pigman II

Still 0-0 16mins. Rovers have most of the territory. DC seem to be hoping to just attack on the break.

Pigman II

Malloy just wide with a curler from outside the box

legend is it he had connections with Barbarians and didn't like AS Roma or Lazio .

Pigman II

O'Connor just o/t from 25yards

Pigman II

Apparently the DC goalie is a 'fat bastard' and the referee is 'a wánker' according to the SR support.

Raskolnikov

Any update on the score?

Pigman II

DC score! 1-0 53mins Robbie collins

Raskolnikov

Ciao Rovers.

Pigman II

Tracey for SR 1-1 55mins

Pigman II

BTW there's no away goals in this game so 3-2 4-3 etc will lead to ET and penos

woodyg

Shams are heading for the 1st division im afraid.
i hope im not right but i fear for the club if the result stays the same.
financial disaster looms

1-1 shams could pull it out of the fire yet

Raskolnikov

Oh dear!

Are there many DC supporters at the game?

Pigman II

DC are pushing up in this half. I reckon it's a bad move. They were comfortable in the first half but they look all over the place atm.

YeatsCounty

I wish I was able to watch this Game.

From a Sligo Rovers point of view, I hope that Dublin City get promoted as that will boost our chances of staying up in the Premier Division IMO. I'd be quietly confident that we'd finish ahead of them over the course of a season. Also, Shams would not be as bad again as they were this season, surely? Their off-field organistaion is very good from what I read and hear.

From a League of Ireland point of view, I want Shams to stay up. I also want the Rovers Derby to return to the Premier for next season. If Dublin City do get promoted, well then best of luck to them. Still 20 minutes to go though, excluding any possible extra time.

YeatsCounty

Apparantly, Shams had a penalty appeal turned down. Thank you Foot.ie.

Can anyone tell me what the game is like? Are Shams throwing everything at Dublin City at this stage?

Pigman II

80mins 1-1. DC have reverted back to 4-5-1 with 9 inside their own half. SR haven't resorted to long balls yet.

Pigman II

83mins. SR have just started with the long balls into the front 2.

Pigman II

85mins SR have switched to 3-4-3

YeatsCounty

Cheers for the update Pigman II. It's good to hear that Shams haven't resorted to desperation tactics yet and are still trying to stay up by playing football. Dublin City are obviously holding on to their advantage.

Who would you fancy to win the tie if Shams score again? Would the force be with them at that point?

Sorry for all of the questions.

EDIT: Just seen your other posts. There is a time and place for long balls if passing football isn't working, and this time is now. Survival is at stake.

Pigman II

If SR can score they'll probably win. But I can't see them scoring tbh.

Pigman II

TRACEY!!! ..... misses by about 6 inches with a header for SR. 89mins. I reckon that's all she wrote.

Pigman II

Well you heard it here first. Shamrock Rovers are officially a Division1 club now.

If Shams can sort themselves out on the pitch and regain their confidence, i would fancy them to strongly challenge for first spot at least.

Next season is going to be very interesting.

EDIT: Does this mean that Shoddy has lost his "never been relegated" record? He was suspended for this match, but he's still officially the manager of Shams, right?

20 Times 20 Times

They cant afford to sack him either hahahahaha

Oh dear

Never let it be said Dublin City have done nothing for the league again.
