No they can't, the Bit O'Red will prevail!

It's a bit nerve wracking right now but I'm still confident.

They'll do it in injury time.

YeatsCounty

Full time: 3-3

It's going to extra time. Rovers could have snatched it right at the death but we like to make life difficult for ourselves.

Ronan|Raven

Sounds like a cracking game, listening to it on the web stream on ocean fms page.

Ronan|Raven

4-3 rovers.

YeatsCounty

Yes! 4-3 to Rovers, Paul McTiernan just before the end of the first period of extra time.

gustavo

4-3 !

Same as. I wish I was at the game but I'll have to settle for going to Montreal hockey games instead, heh.

I'll be back next year though to see Rovers play again.

YeatsCounty

*wipes brow*

We survived, just about. Rovers win 4-3. Semi finals, here we come!

Roar

big night at the top end of the table tonight. Tricky ties on paper for Cork CIty, Shels and Derry, but i'd expect all three to win easily.

City on a high after beating bray 6-0 last week, but hat trick hero roy o'donovan is out. John o'flynn is set to come back in, but will he last more than 45 minutes without stubbing his toe or breaking a fingernail or whatever "injury" he has this week? im not sure. we need a fully fit flynny for the run in, and 90 minutes tonight will do him the world of good.

While damien richardson is saying that we can still win the league, we're relying on shels and derry to slip up more than us winning all our remaining games..

Ronan|Raven

Well I cant see us putting up much of a fight against ye lot. But I have been proved wrong in the past

ye've always given us tough games.. at turners cross ye tend to sit back, pack the midfield and go on the counter attack.. i reckon there's only gonna be one goal in this one..

Ronan|Raven

Dan oconnor is a big loss for us, has been pretty solid all season. Matthews wont be at the game either due to the current issue with the FAI. Aaron O'Callaghan will be taking charge.

Roar

what issue with the FAI?

MrJoeSoap

He got suspended for something regarding the Pats game I think.

SectionF

Potentially, we have no fewer than eight out. Should I say good luck to Derry now, or should I wait for a bit?

Great night of results for us.

We are top on merit now, nine points clear of Derry and they have three games in hand, with us to play. They have to play Drogheda three times though, which will be tough for them.

A Cork City fan who posts not a million miles from here conceded the title in a text to me tonight.

splendid win for Galway United tonight, sure makes the run in interesting, Galway 6 pts ahead of Rovers now, but Rovers have two games in hand. down to the wire between us, Rovers and Dundalk.
great crowd as well, and i have to give credit to the Shamrock Rovers supporters who travelled in large numbers.with the athmosphere like tonight, i think both clubs have a lot to offer the new Premiership next season.
we wait to see how the Premiership numbers will be decided.

Ronan|Raven

Gutted! So so close but fair play to the lads, showed great teamwok and commitment tonight, im quick to complain when we show no effort but will gladly hold my hand up and acknowledge the performance we showed tonight. Least it is the end of the langers aspirations.

In all sincerity, if that is a word, I honestly thought at 7.45 tonight, we were going to win the league. To say I am gutted beyond belief is understating the matter entirely........Fark sake, after the game I, among others, had to tell other 'fans' why Rico is not the anti christ. There was almost trouble FFS.

Tonight, well, lets put it like this, Longford are a shíte team who only know how to defend. Their goal came from a dubious free. Dave McKeown reffed, so neither of us could complain.

Meh, hopefully CCFC can decide where the title goes. Thing is, I dont know who I want to get it!

MrJoeSoap

Great night for Shels last night! Pressure is all on the two City's now!

I reckon we eliminated Drogs from title race last and longford did Cork, god bless small teams and their little milestones.

Drogs were gone weeks ago. Nay, months.

Down for the match on tuesday Seansouth? Flandogs are on me

SectionF

Not a good feeling helping Shels win the title, TBH, but nice to have taken a point off St Stephen at last.

Töpher

A win is a win, very happy today!

Roar

arrrghhhh..

i hate longford.

Their manager last night was a disgrace, going on to the pitch trying to get john o'flynn sent off, then manhandling danny murphy.. he should have been sent off.. baker's a nasty piece of work and i was delighted to see him sent off..

on the actual football side of it, fact of the matter is last night, longford were poor, and city were poorer.. we had a number of chances, and were it not for a combination of poor finishing/that stupid fecking crossbar/and shay kelly having a superb game in goal for the town, we would have won easily.

while i wont be as hasty as gimmick in conceding the league title, i will say that after last night, its looking far less achievable. meh.. fingers crossed.

Ronan|Raven

you can cross your toes as well.

I'll (relucatantly! ) nab one!

Just about got the win on Friday. Was a deffo peno and comfortably put away by Stewie Byrne.

Very surprised to see Derry drop points at home to such an understrength Bohs team.

Pressure all on Derry now. They host Drogheda on Tuesday while we visit Longford.

galwayrush

i never thought i'd see the day when league of Ireland first division football is way more exciting than the International side. well, it's pretty exciting for the top three. no lacking in commitment from players here.

Bateman

There's no doubting who the big winners this weekend were, it's now Shels' to throw away; the good news is that they've thrown it away before, so there could yet be a few twists in the run-in.

Ha ha!!! Nice try. We've dropped the same amount of points as Derry so it's not exactly in the bag, is it? And given that we still have to play Derry in the Brandywell, many would see them as favourites. Although our far superior goal difference is probably worth an extra point at this stage of the season.
