No offence but hope they do and we beat Bohs at least once this year .
We have 2 must win games in the space of 4 days Bohs tonight and Sligo on monday.

Gavin "shels"

Must win for Shels tonight against Athlone, should be back to normal woeful play from Shels tonight.

Zebra3

Yeah, no space for slipping up to sides like Athlone.

No doubt a 1-1 draw with them getting a late equaliser. :rolleyes:

GLaDOS

Hoping we kick on from last week and beat Fingal, who are the only team we see to have any luck against

Even better when there's a red card at 1-0 and Turner scores supposedly a controversial goal.

Sweeeeeet:pac:

dreamers75

We scored after 3 minutes and should have been 4 up inside 30 minutes, 2 mistakes and galway take the lead (lovely 2nd goal they got) also the end of Havertys career with pats 2 shocking mistakes

after that we were all over the place and game opened up faherty equalised (cracking goal) and Doyle x 2 we ran out easy winners in the end.


very entertaining game, not liking this conceding lark!

Couldn't go. See Europa League thread for reason.

I can usually do the drive door to door in about 2.5 hours, sometimes a little less.

The faces were bitter. I don't need to be there to see them.

Bohs 1-1 Franchise

I'm not a fan of any particular team in the LOI but go to about 20+ games a season. Was at the Bohs Fingal game tonight, fairly poor fare but Fingal did well to draw.

On another matter this naming of Sporting Fingal as Franchise or Fungal is really starting to wear thin on this forum. Would ye not grow up and call them by their proper name? Its really childish.

Junkies are what we are called.

Seriously its only Shels fans that call them that, we call them our B team

Fungus is another one.:pac:

Franchise has kinda stuck with me over the past few months.

Disappointing but a draw was fair result I'd say, we sat back too much having taken the lead. If only Madden had put the chance away, but can't be too tough on the lad, scored some essential goals for us lately

CiaranC

What a result in Shligo. Have a read of the thread on foot.ie if you want to see the bitter red in full swing. Unreal the ****e they are posting, absolutely hilarious.

You're right as it could just as easily apply to Cork, Derry or Limerick.

Tolka hosted one of the more bizarre games in its history last night. Onwards and upwards. :cool:

monkey9

I got to Richmond Park about five minutes late and didn't realise we were nil up so i thought we were two down at half time and that we ended up winning three two. I couldn't understand why Galway weren't pushing more for a goal in the last couple of minutes.

Only discovered the correct score on the way back into town!

Wexler12

I wont say anything about MON or the players but it was great to see Shams fans up to their old tricks.

Robbing from Centra, attacking Centras owner who was on crutchs, racially abusing Joey N'Do, one fan wrote 'SHAMRROCK ROVERS' in black marker on someones car bonnet, throwing stuff at stewards.

Cannot wait for Aug. 17th

I like to consider myself a level headed fan. Sure, some of the stuff posted on foot.ie that I read was a bit exaggerated but a lot of it was unfortunately true. Some of the racist crap coming from the Shamrock Rovers fans directed at Jo N'do was shocking.
Add to that the reported attacking of a personal friend of mine who owns the Centra shop across from the showgrounds and you have a successful evening for the Shamrock Rovers scum element.

Looking forward to seeing the highlights on Monday. I wasn't in a position to see if the ball crossed the line or not.

I fully expect us to go 451 with faherty up front on his own with all intentions of getting a draw.

I would take a draw now tbh, with a 451 if we go behind i dont think we are good enough to create a goal, but if we score i reckon we could play for days and Rovers wouldnt a shot in. This is an Absolute must not lose game.

To be honest, every team in the top four should be pretty ashamed. Nobody has shown the form to win the league - it's there for the taking. If you had a team like Bohs the season before last, it would have been over two months ago.

Disagree there, we have all played very well and very badly. Feel we are the ugly sister in this race when we play badly we lose when you and Bohs play badly you get something. Our best chance is you lot being in Europe but tbh our squad/team is very weak and our manager is getting an extra % out of them honestly cant see us lasting the pace we only ahve 8 actually good players.

The form to win the league is the last 9 games someone will go on run (bohs) and win it by a few points. Only way i see us being in around then is if you lot win games in Europe but highly unlikely (oddly i would reckon we would take any of the teams on offer for LOI this year, we have pedigree). Dont see any team getting thru 3 rounds like we did 2 years in a row :cool: But i hope you do

Not to mention the Sligo fans smashing two of the rovers supporters club bus windows and the "dirty orange bastard" chants directed at O'Neill, or did you forget about that in your little rant. Level headed? Sure...

Ok sir, why don't we add in Mr O'Neill going after Dermot Brannigan on the sideline for no reason and the Shamrock Rovers knackers picking on a bunch of local kids as they walked back to their seats at HT?
And no, the kids they picked on were not trouble makers, it was 2 of my nephews and his friends from school.

You could go on and on to be honest. Someone writing Shamrock Rovers on a sligo reg car with permanent marker, stealing from a shop. These are all uncalled for acts. I don't know who smashed the windows on the bus and this is the first I am hearing of it. I don't agree with it obviously, but it's not as if it was done for no reason. It never happens here, where as it's a regular occurance at other clubs.

Thats three times in two years your fans have attacked our bus, the most family friendly of our supporters buses mind, full of older fellas with young kids, the brave lads.

I've no idea if half of this is true but if you want to appear fair and balanced in your assessment, you should discuss the incidents caused by both sets of fans rather than just focusing on the opposition. There are some muppets supporting Rovers and there are some muppets following Sligo.

However, easily the most serious incident to happen at the game was the two windows being smashed on the bus, carrying mainly families including small children, and there is no valid reason for it as you seem to suggest. You say "It never happens here", actually it has happened several times. It happened against rovers before and also happened against Galway in 2003. I guess some Galway fans stole some sweets from the local Spar and in doing so justified the smashing of the bus windows...

CSF

Rovers fans racking up the tally of clubs where their fans are called scum over their actions, they accuse the opposition of being just as bad, yet when all those other teams play each other, nothing really ever seems to happen. Everyone else's fans become scum when they play Rovers. Couldn't just be that there is a massive problem at Shamrock Rovers football club, never. It is a two-way thing. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

I'm sorry if it came across this way, I was just responding to CiaranC's post.

I agree with this, it was stupid to attack the bus, wsther or not it was carrying children or not, forgive me for taking the ''families and small children'' bit with a pinch of salt, because it seems everytime at everyone's stadiums when a bus is attacked it's claimed to be full of the helpless children.

Also, I don't remember saying the incident of stealing stuff from the shop was related to the windows of the bus being broken.

I think the 2003 incident was when the Galway keeper, believe it or not, attacked one of the Sligo Rovers ballboys for not giving him the ball back fast enough.
I was quite shocked when he pushed the kid to the ground.

Yeah nothing ever happens when other teams play eachother :rolleyes: There is a long list of incidents that don't involve Rovers. I won't even bother start to list them...

I'm not justifying s**t. You said ''I guess some Galway fans stole some sweets from the local spar''. I was correcting you and giving you the reason why it happened, not condoning it.

Correction 1: It was a lot more serious than stealing sweets.
Correction 2: It was a centra, not a spar .

And the Galway keeper was arrested after the match too I think.

Clearly it was not Sligo fans. It must have been Shamrock Rovers fans that turned up at a Sligo - Galway game in disguise to smash windows as they are the only supporters in the country to cause trouble, no?

Well it obviously happened outside the ground, hence asking were they Sligo fans?

It's just schooligan knackers that Sligo Rovers have small problems with. Whereas with Shamrock Rovers the people that cause trouble are not kids. They have the biggest fan problem in the league.

Shamrock Rovers - That would be my guess.
Galway - I can't remember, it was 7 years ago.

The knackers collect stones just down the road from the showgrounds. I saw a couple of young lads gathered there.
