Hmmmmm, no First Division matches there my friend

I shall be at Shelbourne vs Sporting Fingal in Morton Stadium

I did look at the Sunday night match but there are no trains to Dublin by the time it's over. Some of us depend on public transport

Fingal -v- Shels, the real Dublin derby.:D

I'm going to Derry vs Bray. I hate Bray more than any other team in the league. It gives me great pleasure to see them get beat.

So, when SPA's wild spending ways catch up to them, when your American Sugar Daddy legs it, and when you lot get "Shelegated", you will stop supporting them, yeah?

You'd take 1-0? C'mon this ones got at least 3-0 written all over it. Its Cobh that your lot are playing.

I think he's missing tonight.

I have a feeling this will be a 1-1 draw but the 15/8 on Shels with Lads is a tad generous imo.

Limerick Dude

Will be going to Jackman Park tonight, Limerick have been playing some good football lately and were unlikely with only getting a point in Athlone last weekend. I expect a really tight game .
Pighead, are you coming down to Limerick for the match ?

SantryRed

Tough game for Shels tonight. Has draw written all over it.
Think we could knick it 2-1 though.

Pighead doesn't go to matches in Limerick.

I think a draw away to Limerick would be an really respectable result. Especially with Dundalk not being at their best in the last few games.

SantryRed

The place is a kip.
Hate it so much.

Trip down does be great craic though.
Down there in two weeks:D

ibh

Yea have been to a Limerick game before and it isnt the best ground but the craic was good. Cant go tonught though cause it's too damn far and dont finish work till 5. Also have a stag wkend which means i prob won't even know the scores till Monday, when MrJoeSoap has me sitting on top of the leaderboard!!!!!

i've a big feeling my local franchise are going to do one over the mighty Shels tonight, if 'Crest Kisser' Rogers or 'Big Time' Robbie Doyle score it will rub salt into the wounds

I don't usually feel the urge to engage at this level, :pac:, but, for once, Go Shels. The whole league is behind you.

Full times

Rovers 1 - 1 UCD FT
Cork City 3 - 0 Finn Harps FT
St. Pats 1 - 0 Cobh FT
Bray 1 - 0 Derry FT

KdjaCL

poor game as expected tho we looked tired and "lethargic" cobh threatened but not sure if they had a shot. Fahey played some good balls, Guy was good but tired and made schoolboy errors late on.

Biggest worry Partridge went off injured/ or in a huff cos he wasnt booked and didnt get to hurt someone.

Cobh arent bad but we are much much better just didnt show it.

18/21 not bad at all.


Cork winning and playing ball too......interesting.

bit dodgy, hard to tell though as the game was scrappy for first hour or so, then they changed to three at the back which left plenty of gaps.

keeper was very dodgy, seemed a bit nervous. should of put him under pressure with high balls into dangerous area but didn't.

paul byrne should have won us the game- hit the post with an open goal when 1-0 up, missed from 6 yards in acres of space in stoppage time.

Just in. Disappointing game. We didn't really turn up.

Coleman was quite shaky throughout, and was at fault for the goal. Not helped by what seemed like sarcastic applause when he took goal kicks.

Thought it was all over after Purcell's peno, but Amond took chance well with literally minutes to spare at the end.

UCD outplayed us and deserved at least a 0-2 win if not more. Your pace ripped us to shreds when you cleared the hoofs forward.

Panic substitutions at half time and sending eight players up for a hoof freekick with 2 minutes of the second half gone as if it was the last kick is real desperation time.

Awesomeness, will maguire be dropped? We have 9 days off till that game afaik only our subs/u18s playing on monday vs UCD.

Dunno. Could be anyone at this stage. Murphy and Ferguson were out tonight, Murphy supposedly injured. O'Connor in at centre-half from left back for the last few games despite being a central midfielder.

The pace running at back four/three/two/some amount was only a problem when Rovers couldn't win the second ball in midfield..which was all the time.

Good win for City last night. Pretty much stopped at the 3rd goal. Harps are an awful awful side. Easily the worst I have seen at th Cross since Monaghan in the 2001/2002 season. Colin Healy is beginning to show his class at last, while Joe Gambles odd season continues. Kearney is also beginning to show shades of his 2005 form.

That being said, if City play like that against Drogs on Friday, Drogs will walk away easy winners.

And this wouldn't b an eL post of mine without mentioning Mathews OUT!

I didn't were we all that good ourselves either. Brian King (our no. 6) had a brilliant game and bossed the midfield but we lacked a cutting edge, as usual, and I doubt we would have scored or created many chances in the second half if we hadn't gone a goal up, which was very fortuitous goal (but should have been dealt with by defence).

In fairness I think the subs were justified- Martin was doing nothing and McGill was a passenger in midfield.

Limerick Dude

Absolutely sickened for the Limerick V Dundalk game.

In fairness Dundalk were the better side overall but for Limerick to miss a penalty in the last minute of the game was a major kick in the nuts .

Final Score Dundalk 2 - 1 Limerick 37

P.S Ref was dodgy as fuuuuck!

I think you lacked someone to put the round thing in between the posts than picking the defender on the line, mis-hitting it or hitting the post. Rovers hardly got past the 18 yard line. Maguire and O'Connor were pulled apart and we bypassed the midfield. Couldn't pass the ball, caught on the ball by UCD strikers, it was a nightmare.

Rovers are great when 1-0 up. When it's 0-1, there's big trouble. Same as Cobh last week. Could beat and be beaten by anyone.

An honest Shams fan? Good Lord.

3-0!!!!:D:D:D yes,yes,yes! all in the first half, 2nd half was a matter of playin out the minutes, Mons hardley threatened. good times, can we play ye every week???:p

There was a decent turn out, big crowd of The SectionO lads and fair play to them, they had a large banner dedicated to Enda, I'm sure he would have enjoyed those 3 points...:)

Setanta, Drogheda, Bohs and a good bit of laziness have convinced me to stay home, tickets only on sale till 5pm today, no tickets at the stiles and Drogheda dont want Bohs fans travelling by public transport.

Fancy Drogheda big time in this.

Getting their big names back now.

Drogheda demanded that the Bohs ticket allocation be sold and accounted for by 2:30pm on Friday so that someone up there could knock off early. That's an expensive early finish!

Obviously, when your proposed new stadium involves developing half of Meath you don't worry too much about how you treat opposing fans.

Rather than hang around Drogheda for two hours (tickets sales there bizarrely close at 5pm today) this punter is going to walk the dog and watch the match on Setanta.
I'll be happy with a draw.

Gavin "shels"

Drogheda - Bohs live on Setanta Ireland now.

What a goal.

Gavin "shels"

Amazing goal indeed.
