UCD 7:45 Shamrock Rovers Belfield Park..Rovers

Hopefully revenge will be a dish served cold at the RSC. We owe them big time.

Division 1 Fixtures:
Limerick 37 V Dundalk: Draw.
Monaghan United V Athlone: Home Win
Wexford Youths V Kilkenny: Away Win
Cobh V Shelbourne: Home win

Anybody who does a coupon on a Saturday would be well advised to stick in Cobh @4/6. Ridiculously good price.

Tough game for Dundalk down in Limerick, not too confident what with poor recent form and Williams still missing. Hopefully they can snatch a scrappy 1-0 win and keep the pressure on those Cobh fcukers.

Good new tips column here...

hopefully we can give the blaahs a good thumping, but i wouldn't be so sure. one nil to us is the best im hoping for, sad reflection with the way things are going recently.

looking forward to cobh and shels tomorrow night, fancy cobh to continue their unbeaten streak, and hopefully get a few goals too

I'd say you're wetting your pants in anticipation.

Shels' away record was horrific prior to the Kilkenny game, Cobh are a decent price alright. That guy on the Bohs site looks a shrewdie.

yes being 4-0 down with 20 minutes to go would be a tough game

Drogheda lucky to get a draw at Dalymount.

JP Kelly was unstoppable tonight.

Excellent game for TV, what a comparison with the opening day of the season with that drab 0-0.

NEVER!

I was getting text updates all the way through.

Great result considering we always seem to struggle in the RSC

KdjaCL

Bit of luck the accent is gone and you speak dublinese now.

Limerick 4 Dundalk 1 :eek: bottle, bottle, bottle!

popped along to Belfield Park tonight to watch UCD/Rovers, smashing game. i've not given Rovers too much credit this season but i have to say they were so well organised and disciplined that if they play like that til' the end of the season they could give Drogheda a run for the title. UCD defensively were a mess, and quite simply Rovers took their chances scoring 4 without dominating the game, Andy Myler's 2nd goal of his hat-trick was goal of the season material, one to watch on eL weekly

only caught the last half hour of the drogs match. we were fairly poor jp kelly was on fire. I think Garto could have got a red for the takle on him ouch:eek: we will defo look at it as a point gained instead of 2 dropped.

Keeper kept you in the game, and ref incompetence kept your 11 on the pitch.
Joxer was superb last night, but there were other good signs around the team too. We played some football!

How that thug Connor wasnt sent off Ill never know. I have no love for Bohs, or JP Kelly, but that was an horrific, and un needed challenge.

Drogs are disgrace, worst team to ever top the league for a pro longed period. Stay it all about the rest of the teams though.

sour grapes anyone?

Pats lose 2-1 to Longford.

Who's fault was it this time Johnny?

Ive heard some of the money being splurged down at Inchicore and when they cant even beat lowly Longford, coupled with their humiliation in Europe I cant see Johnny Mac being there next season.

On Monday night Connor cost us 2 points against Galway. In this game he definitely won us a point we didn't deserve.

I agree that this is a point gained rather than two dropped. Bohs look the best side we've faced this season. They deservedly knocked us out of the cup and we were lucky to beat them in the last league match at United Park.

Be lucky is there in the morning, plays Paisley ahead of Darragh player of the year Maguire. Paisley cost us 2 goals tonight and tbh at least he was still on the pitch after the peno he gave away.

game should have been over after 20 minutes but fair play to longford they stuck at it and deserved it.

What a night, it had everything from madness on and off the pitch. Much needed three points. Longford battled very hard for every loose ball etc. Threw themselves of everything. Ya cannot beat the atmosphear of a live game. Better than any premier**** imo

OhNoYouDidn't

Best results possible for Rovers!!!

Cork and Pats are falling down the table, the slime cant win at home and Drogs starting to shake too.

So much for our sqaud not having the legs!! Starting to think its possible!

KdjaCL

Guess we looking for a new manager.

Roar

2-2 now.

Liam Kearney set up both City goals.

After being two down.

Seven minutes left.

applehunter

City 2 - 2 Bray.

Good point in the end. Too many average players in the City side.

Darren Murphy sitting on the bench is a total mystery.:(

correct on all three points.

of the starting 11, only one player is a definite starter every game, and that's neal horgan.

brian o'callaghan appears to be made out of concrete, our back four is a total shambles.

if colin healy couldn't be feckin arsed to play for the club he can just leave.

we're about 6 players short of a decent squad.

and, IMHO, a change of manager is desperately needed. he's lost the confidence of the players.

bloody frustrating night. i knew i should have stayed at home for the coronation street double bill

gimmick

We were appalling last night. Bray are a very poor side, and very nearly took all 3 points. City played for 20 mins and got the draw. Pity we didnt get going earlier.

This season cannot end quick enough.

Claire and Ashley got back together, Norris is acting a bit strange, and Eileen and yer man from Brookside went for a drink.



Liam Kearney was the impetus behind the revival imo, he just seemed start running at the Bray defence.
