Say there will be a good few draws in the premier, all have very strong potential for a draw minus the Bohs match. Hoping UCD slip up and we can take advantage on Saturday in a sunny (ye right, never been up there when it's been dry:() Ballybofey.


All then the FAI Cup semi's we have,
23 Oct 2009 Sligo Rovers 7:35 Waterford United
25 Oct 2009 Sporting Fingal 4:05 Bray Wanderers

Hopefully Sligo or Waterford win, no poxy replay so we actually get to go to Waterford on Tuesday, and hopefully Fingal draw and goes to a replay.

GLaDOS

Don't have the money to go Galway Hoping for an assured performance from the boys, back in our hands now

Looks like they'll be up to 1500 Rovers making their way up to Dundalk tonight. Heading up later myself and looking forward to this: whatever happens there and elsewhere, it's been a season to remember.

Can't see Bohs slipping up and sadly, we look to have some very important players missing.

Hopefully a Sligo-Bray final with Bray winning it.

Be a good crowd, more than used to be at the majority of your matches in Tolka anyway,

Time to send out the FAI bat signal.

Or maybe the FAI only interfere when the game is a title-decider.

Some amount of guards there.:eek:

I'll be astonished if Rovers win tonight. Extra 1k Dundalk fans and defeat on Tuesday will see to it.

Will be heading to Richmond though.

They are one up

Makes it better when we win it.

well that was depressing stuff, lads. we had nothing, stu byrne was our best player. . .and that's just coz he manages to get in the way a few times. gifted 2 goals, Derry didn't even really have to try.

i'm seriously fearing a drop for the first time. . .who could we actually beat over 2 legs in a playoff with the way we're playing?

chopperbyrne

Some last ten minutes from Rovers.

It still just requires one slip up from Bohs and we can take it.

You're in big trouble alright. It was awful stuff against a poor Derry side. Could've been 4-0.

4-2, nice one.:D

It's the training ground that the ESB cut off, I would imagine the MFA would have the cross sorted for now. Nothing surprises me anymore with all the sh*te that has happened with Coughlan around :rolleyes:

0-0 result tonight, miserable evening and the game wasn't much better. Picked up pace a bit when Dav came on but still couldn't score. Dan Murray got sent off as well

Just back. Great match. Hone support in great vice in fairness. Thought it was all over when they equalized a minute or two right after the our second. Poor old Mannus - spilled the ball over the line for the second goal. The knives will be out. He made a superb reflex save soon after though. Rovers had some decent chances - a shot off the crossbar and an overhead kick from Twigg (I think) cleared off the line. Brilliant free kick from Baker at the death.

My mate told me that one of the ball boys (only a kid) was strolling across the pitch with the corner flag after the whistle and making wanker signs at us on the terrace. Classic.

Madden, why was he only on loan with us.:mad:

was that before of after your lot invaded the pitch ? Both teams pretty poor tonight , rovers scoreline flatters them but congratz all the same. Did you see yet another dundalk player getting sent off AFTER The final whistle ?

Not happy with the pitch invasion(s) myself although (not you personally) it never seems to get commented on unless it's us. Thought Rovers shaded it on the work front, but it was very close until the two late goals. Thought introduction of Kavanagh made a difference too. Would have been a good game for telly wouldn't it?

Somebody said there was a card after the whistle alright but I didn't see it. What was it for?

20 Times 20 Times

I think it was mouthing off at the ref , doesnt surprise me with the lack of discipline in the team. thats 17 this year. Rovers fans arrested in dundalk also did you hear anything ?

Heard there was an arrest(s) outside the ground just after. Wasn't sure who or why. The main body of away fans were kept in for nearly half hour after the final whistle.

Yeah 40 minutes your guys were kept in but to be honest i think that was for your own safety and prevent two fans meeting , which might i add there were doing in the pubs with no hassle. I also see that some of your scum bag element actually took it apon themselves to charge the barriers and knock them down. Great athmosphere last night.

Unfortunately, I think they met before that anyway.

The guards told us the hold back was to stop us getting whacked outside so fair enough but we should have been told earlier instead of such a large crowd having to stand that long in a confined area like that. One or two clowns shook the barriers true. No excuse for that.

On the bright side, fantastic game and atmo. Given the current state of the league, I think Dundalk Rovers has the potential to become a big 'un

Fingal 2 up.

Will be sad to see Bray go down, always a fun trip.

They deserve it obviously if the 20 mins i have seen is anything to go by!

elshambo

Very impressed with fingal, however.....

Its terrible to think that fingal will get half the tickets for the final

they will end up handing them out at bus stops and in the local supermarket

Waterford -v- Shels tomorrow, doesn't sound promising going by the weather so far down there I'm told, it better be on, not in the mood of missing another day of college and having to pay money for a bus to the m50 and back.:D
