Just watched it again on Setanta, we really were very good. Dan Murray is fast going from zero to hero.

What did it sound like crowd-wise?

Murray has made mistakes, especially judging high balls but he's done more than enough for me in the past, albeit perhaps not enough to displace Sives or Price or be captain. His recent form has been really excellent though and he more than deserves his place.

It sounded fantastic. All the broadcasters seem to set up their mics facing the east stand and catch the atmosphere really well. The last two TV matches really are great adverts for the club.

Murray is stuck or has been stuck between arriving at Rovers as captain and a decent wage. He also had a huge reputation..and got a lot of the abuse around May/June

I've been fairly happy with him, though I thought Danny Murphy had been doing better until Bray..

Deadly craic up at the Hunky Dory. This is turning into as memorable a run of final games as last year.

Something else for Pete to complain about

Looks even better now that Sligo won 4-0..

Still a lot of football to be played and there's still a few twists and turns but we seem to be hitting our stride just at the right time. The depth of the squad will be crucial in the next month or so.

Dear Jaysus,

I know I haven't been around much since my confo, but if you could arrange for us to:

a) Leather Sligo by more than 3 goals at Tallaght

b) Clinch the title at Dalyer

I promise to:

a) believe in you and your Da again

b) not care if we ever win the title again in my lifetime

That's really not that much to ask for...I would've added a Fenn winner in Oriel in the only game that Dundalk really care about for the season...

In return for attending Mass forever and ever..

How do you have 3 home games in a row?

Its an FAI conspiracy to ensure the model club win the league

So Tommy Stewart can get rested up for youse.

Great couple of days work v Bray and the students, some super play/goals and good crowds at both, fair enough not the best teams in the league but seem to be turning on the style a bit now, into the last series and i don't know how my nerves will hold out but one game at a time, we're in a great position, just need to keep it up.

7500 punters through the gates in one weekend, its mad really. Might have taken us a month to match that number in Tolka

I reckon 500-700 will travel. I wont be one of them, in work myself.

Would be nice if our fans were treated with a bit of respect this time

Hopefully cam make it but reliant on babysitter.

Would be nice if clubs started treating their biggest gate of the season with something approaching respect for once.

Be nice to see Don in action. Is he getting his game down there?

Again with the respect thing, your fans wrecked the place the last time they were there. Why in the name of jebus would the people who run Longford think anything has changed.

Has the model club forgot the last time they were in Longford? Good luck getting a pint.


My eldest will babysit for you tenner an hour :pac: plus something from the fridge, preferably coke

I can name other clubs that have pulled up seats this season if you want. Indeed the SDCC could tell you a few stories about our away end.

Longford are getting like the sillage heads in Sligo and Dundalk.

just smashing glasses in pubs in tarmon and fu*king glasses out onto a main road doesnt exactly bode well for the vast majority of rovers fans,and acting the **** trying to get down to an end of the ground that is actually closed off and for insurance purposes no one is ever allowd sit into it except a steward doesnt exactly bode well for the vast majority of yer fans either! as someone already said respect is earned not just granted! would be alot easier if the rovers fans got rid of the nacks with tucked in tracky bottoms but sher rovers fans know this themselves!

ye will be happy to know that the FAI is providing the stewards for the rovers end tomorrow night so no complaints can come back at the club!

by the way,just having a look at the srfc ultras forum, the stuff said on there about longford being a kip is funny when consider tallaght is the 2nd dirtest town in the country!

LTFC, more succesful than the great shamrock rovers in this century! and the facts dont lie! :P

hope its a cracker of a real cup match with the underdogs coming out on top! tomorrow night is our cup final!

S.R.F.C.

Out of genuine interest and not trying to start something but what are Longford's average crowds like?

The Model club should win this comfortably enough.

Jesus them bandwagoners have well and truly left the building, tomorrow night should be a few quid for yas so if nothing else, although with the split of the gate maybe not so much!?

Just get your board to moan at them, that's what ours done and we were actually allowed out of the fencing this season.:rolleyes:

flas

to be honest that fencing is a fcuking joke, basically its there since the setanta cup matches against linfield and its like someone in the hierachy was walking around the place one day,seen it there and goes,i spent a couple of hundred euro on that chicken wire and metal polls and we aren't using it anymore,lets lock up some opposing fans in it! stupid decision in every sense of the word!

the bandwagoners are well and truely gone, unless there is a chance of a big piss up they wont be back either, more interest in the legends game that is happening soon in flancare than in this match!

I was going to head to Longford tonight but this talk about the facilities/fencing etc has put me right off. Don't think I'll bother. What's the entrance fee?

Longford caught the disease long before Sligo..Sligo were safely in the FD while Longford were at it circa 2004/5.

Pulling up seats at a pre-season friendly?

I didn't mean we did. I don't know what incidents were being referred to in the other posts.

I just meant that seat-breaking sprung to mind as examples of other clubs misbehaving and it not being picked up on.

dfx-

I was referring to dreamers75 saying it about seats the last time Rovers played there...I doubt there was that many fans there to wreck anything

Rovers have a habit through the years of slipping up outside the Pale in the cup.

Athlone, Waterford, Dundalk, Limerick in the league cup semi final..

Was thinking of that myself this morning, though remember that great turn around in Athlone during the 1st Division season, what a night! Still though i think we'll do it tonight, anyone know for sure whether our players on loan are not allowed to feature?

Players who go out on loan are allowed to feature, the only reason they wouldn't would be because of a gentlemen agreement. There is no law in league rules to say they can't play, because you are simply transferring his registration to another club.

Yeah, that game was a prime example...Athlone were whipping boys for Rovers home and away in the league that year and yet I still remember being at the game, Rovers should've been beaten 3-0.

Athlone had a shot crawling across the line which hit both posts with 10 minutes left at 1-0...and Rovers got away with it...

Having said that, Rovers should win easily

flas

God talk about leaving a game behind... 3 peno shouts, well at least 2 were clear cut absolute stone wall peno's and hit the up right! was a good game, dont think i have ever heard the rovers supporters so quiet!

See Bohs are trying to get Rovers fans to fork out €20 to be housed in the Connaught terrace for the game in a few weeks time :pac:

Did the same last time and were told where to go, can only presume they'll get the same response this time around.

Anyway that's miles off, can't wait for Sligo on Friday, hopefully Podge has moved on by then.

iregk

Of course Bohs asking us €20 to stand on that death trap is absolute fine and nothing compared to the shock threatment that they constantly complain about in Tallaght.

stovelid

I really hope they won't engage in childish tit-for-tat and mete out the treatment on us that they get in Tallaght: making the stand structurally secure, providing toilets and access to food. That would just be petty and mean.

super_furry

That stand should be condemned, asking anyone to pay €20 to risk life and limb there is a joke.

S.R.F.C.

Galway at home in the cup, that'll do.
