Big test in Dalymount... though nice to be having a match at all.

Let's hope Drogheda play as well against the Shams as they did against us last week!

Id fancy Drogheda to get something from ths game, I know Rovers are unbeaten since may but Drogheda have been putting some decent from together, forget the Dundalk game.

Wouldn't get too carried away about them. They were amazing against us -- played out of their socks -- but I don't know if they can replicate that.

Seconded. We could do with a good performance. Although Clarke and Shiels are suspended which will hit us hard. We've a few strikers to choose from so please god we can manage a win. A point would be nice enough all the same.

Heary supposed to be on the bench -- apparently still not ready to start. Have a bad feeling about this one... Murph said to be in talks/deal with Ipswich... same for Deego. Let's hope their heads are not elsewhere.

Murphy is going to Ipswich in Jan.

We looked comfortable once we got the first goal, but before that it was very very dodgy. Bisto had a great match and gave 110%, even back in defence tackling at one stage. Casso, Crawley, Synott all had great games aswell.

As for the treatmeat by LTFC, what a joke. 200+ Shels fans caged into a tiny sector of the stadium with one toilet, when there was no more than 100 home fans with all but 10 on the complete opposite side of the stadium.:rolleyes:

Thought City deserved a draw on Friday night.

We were dominant in 1st half but never too advantage, while Bohs took advantage of their period of pressure in the 2nd half.

Joe Gamble was total class when he came on. Danny Murphy and Lordan also put in a good shift.

Special mention for Gutar Silage or whatever his name is. Up there with Robbie Hedderman as the most useless players to pull on the City shirt. No pace, bad attitude, poor control and pushed of the ball very easily. He is the complete package.

Very funny when he was substituted and fans were celebrating like it was a goal.:D. Some City officials needs to get their heads out of his asses as well. Any City fan that travels up from Cork on Friday night should be able to shout what they want within reason.:rolleyes:

It takes a lot for me to give abuse to one of out own players, but the guy is lost out there - I would blame Doolin more.

Great to see the big City following despite the recent off the field problems.

dfx-

Sligo 3-1 up and lost 3-4 to Dundalk?:eek:

Cost me €200.

The must REALLY hate Sean Connor up there.

Its totally Doolins fault. And no matter what, you never abuse one of your own players outside the usual "FFS"s etc.
