I heard today that Liverpool er.. ex-players (all-stars, retired, mature-ultras, I don't know the correct term) are playing in the Showgrounds during the summer. Theres a function after to meet them, one player seated at each table, tickets e100.

None of this means anything to me, but I thought it might to ye!

beside sligo I support Feyenoord and Chelsea and in that order! liverpool maens nothing to me (LOSERS) hahaha thanks mentioning there will be people who would like it, is there?;)
(Please don't forget Dundee Utd.!!!!)

hate liverpool:mad: but this event should be a good fundraiser for the club, it will be costing the club a lot to bring these guys over so really need a good crowd to make sure rovers make a decent profit, here is a link for more details

galway, ucd and bray all got good results tonight so bit more pressure on rovers, if we can beat shams tomorrow will be in 5th place, a pretty good incentive to have, a lot of people predicted we would be involved in relegation struggle, look more like european contenders at this stage rather than relegation material

its a 'legends' match, match is in june, tickets went on sale at the match against galway a couple weeks ago, and were for sales at all home matches, not sure if would be any left

C'mon Rovers!!!!

great result...3-2,we got lucy near the end but deserved it as dominated for 70 mins of the match

garth-marenghi

brilliant result, the score flattered shams a bit, we were definitely better than the 3-2 suggests, up into 5th now! wasnt far off with my 3-1 prediction;)

tulipandthistle

the only thing the rovers can learn from the shams is to keep fighting! I liked watching this match and loved it a lot that we could tell the fans from shams who stayed in the pub that they missed two goals, I would never do that!?;)

A couple of your lads had refs whistles at the last game, i saw some people giving out to them and they got dogs abuse

any chance you could have a word as it:
WILL Get the club in trouble,
A rovers player could stop running when he hears a whistle/ cost us a goal
Its poor form in general

Cheers!

garth-marenghi

tough game tonight i think, id say cookie will definitely rest a few players with cork city game coming up, still think the squad is strong enough to cope though...i hope! Galway will also have something to prove after the hammering they got a few weeks ago and they got a very good result against derry, im going with rovers to get a 2-1 win:)

gustavo

I'd hope we still do put out a strong team as the League cup is there to be won not sure if Peers is available

I'd go with
Jennings
Coleman McKenzie Ventre Foy
Cash O'Grady Murphy Moore
Faz Judge
with Boco , Butler Brushy Almeida and Raf on the bench

With all due respect, they sound like a great Ballroom Dancing team.

Where were you Saturday? There were no high heels to be seen! I was looking EVERYWHERE for you..... well, no I wasn't, I was following the wee man ALL around the Showgrounds! We ended up going home at half time (me and the wee man)due to sheer exhaustion on my *cough* I mean his part.....

Don’t know what you’re talking about but it had nothing to do with Forza Rovers if some individuals have whistles and use them it’s up to the stewards to remove them. We’re not going getting involved in policing/stewarding matters in the Showgrounds especially when it wasn’t organised by Forza Rovers

Was there not the odd whistle in Finn Park too?

there was one guy with a whisle and nobody paid any attention (players i mean) to that. a shame though coz he only used it when the sham had the ball. dont really think it does any harm. i was more anoyed with the guy telling people to sit down when they ran forward out of excitement. he was in the bit where every one is standing anyway. some people should stay home and watch the match from there!

what a horrible way to be knocked out on penalties, keith foy missed a penalty in last minute or two of regular time(awful game by the way), another 30 mins of uninspiring stuff in extra time and then the agony of penalties, good turnout from the mature ultras by the way:rolleyes:

so you were the only one then? We're going to cork though!

If an opposition player stops or uses the whistle as an excuse for a mistake THAT is when the club would get the trouble & serious at that, history of clubs/countries across world getting trouble for crowds using whistles.

And yes it does do harm, for reason above and its poor sportsmanship, it is a sport isnt it!?
