For a neutral I'd say it'd be Shams v Rovers.
Come on Rovers

v Sligo Rovers
FAI Ford Cup, Second Round
Tolka Park, Saturday June 7 (KO 7.30pm)
Referee: A Buttimer

TEAM NEWS
Shamrock Rovers' lengthy injury problems persist – but boss Pat Scully is optimistic that some of his sidelined players will be available for Saturday's FAI Ford Cup tie against Sligo Rovers.

Chris Mulhall (cartilage), John Martin (hip), Robbie Creevy (ankle) and Pat Flynn (ankle/suspended) are all out, but the five other injured players could possibly be fit to play.

"Aidan Price (calf), Stephen Rice (ligament) and Darren Stapleton (thigh) are doubtful, while we're hopeful Ger O'Brien (back and hamstring) and Dessie Baker (thigh) will make it," says Scully.

"Darragh Maguire and Barry Murphy, both suffering recently from a stomach bug, should be fine – but we won't make a call on the other lads until just before the game on Saturday."


SCULLY SAYS ….

Pat Scully's thoughts about:

Last Friday's 1-0 defeat against Bray Wanderers
"We were sloppy, and it summed up the last 7-8 weeks. We created plenty of chances, they had two, but we squandered our opportunities while they got a wicked deflection to win the game.

"We're in a cycle where we're doing the same things again and again so we need to focus and concentrate on learning. We aren't getting any luck – but we need to start taking our chances.

"Although our form has been poor, the fans haven't reacted negatively. I believe that's because they respect the players. But we got ourselves into this situation – it's up to us to get out of it."


Saturday's FAI Ford Cup game against Sligo Rovers
"It's always tough against Sligo – games between us tend be tight and it's important that our players focus on their own performances. We need to forget about league form for this game.

"The most important thing for us is to get into the next round of the Cup, and in order to do that we need to perform at the level we know we're capable of, and be confident in our play."

OhNoYouDidn't

Hard to see any of the Premier division sides except for Sligo not being in the pot next week.

Game of the round should be Shels and Dundalk.

2-0 to the Hoops. Sooner or later I'm bound to get a prediction right! We then have the break to rest players and reduce our injury list and get back to winning in the league.

"But we got ourselves into this situation – it's up to us to get out of it." Dam right Scully - now lets get on with it!

Doesn't make sense. If that's true of Sligo, then it's not hard to see Shams out of the pot.

Roar

couldnt be arsed to go to limerick tonight, so i'll be taking in douglas hall and drogheda at turners cross.

drogheda will be far too strong for hall, but, ya know, the magic of the cup and various other cliches....

city should beat limerick, but it depends on which city turns up, the city from the last 20 minutes in the brandywell, or the city from most of the game in the brandywell..

Is that some form of attempt at bozo logic?

Liffeys Pearse players are out and about enjoying the sights of Derry.

You seem upset. I'm just pointing out the absence of logic from yours.

Hopefully a win tonight.

I'm not into all this crap about being "the league being priority, to hell with the cup".

4 extra cup games won't do us any harm.

3-0 to Bohs. Town's keeper played a blinder!

gimmick

Went to see Drogs play Douglas Hall at Turners Cross. As easy a win Drogs will ever have against a team not managed by Alan Mathews.

Interestingly, or pathetically - whichever way you look at it, the Drogs fans songs last night were all either about George O Callaghan or Cork City. The most obsessed bunch I have ever come across.

Any truth to the mutterings I heard that his name is Gabrielle Sabatini?

Ref was shocking for Shels-Dundalk.
Keddy was an asrehole whit what he done. Dundalk fella running with the ball so he punches it away.
Didn't see the sending off.
But as said before ref was shockin and the linesman wasn't far behind.

My command of Spanish is not what it should be, but I think that RTE.ie gave him a sex change, and that he should in fact be Gabriel Sabbatini.

Hoops beat Sligo 2-1.

Not a great gate, considering the weather. Sligo down to 10 men quite early on as Butler got sent off. Hoop's goals from Amond and Price. Looked like the latter scored with his face. We could have had another when Purcell tried to walk the ball in after a gift of a keeper clearance.

Two great saves: Murphy half way through second half and the Sligo keeper to deny Podge literally in the last minute.

Well I got the 2 goals for the hoops right anyway!

Winning games in the Cup - now that's more like Rovers!

Thought he was quite good. One of their busier players, and got in and around the Bohs area a couple of times when they broke out. Hard to assess, though, as it was very much one-way traffic.

bohsman

Decent bit of skill on him, a bit lightweight maybe, Owen Heary made had him in his pocket.

event

ah thats grand

he used to play with us, we were his first club in the MDL as well as a school team
he only started playing about 4 or 5 years ago, when he came to ireland. i played wiht him a few times, was just wondering how he got on. He is quite skillful but not always an end product. cheers lads
