Cheating? :pac:

Yeah, he fouled the defender in front of him by pushing him in the back.

It's called cheating. Not just when a French bloke does it.

Brilliant. So, everyone who plays football is a cheat.

Yeah, the nudge in the back by Dumbo/Worzel as the ball came in was sly, but in fairness Rovers evened it out with the brilliant second equaliser. You could'nt make this stuff up over the last five weeks. Absolutely priceless.

Another tough and physical game to slog through for Rovers on Tuesday, hopefully it goes to extra time. The tank will be empty for Drogs.

It's part and parcel of the game. Defender was shoved off it far too easily, Twigg did nothing wrong.

I must catch a first division game again. I had no conduct was so gentlemanly down there these days.

The players seem to proving too nervy to hold a lead but I don't how you can legislate for three of the last four goals conceded in Tallaght: one O.G. a holwler from Aido and a deflected shot from Crowe. It really just is one of those things.

Nobody wants to play another game at this stage but at least it means the suspended players (I think) will be back.

While acknowledging MONs failings, losing Pat Sullivan and especially Dan Murray have cost us dearly. Chambers doesn't currently have the fitness for playing wide or at right-full imo and should be in the middle and Murray got the best of of either centre-half that played beside him.

Didnt think Twigg fouled Kenna, both went for it Twigg got it looked like a normal challenge. Bermo giving the ball away and not tracking back was a far worse crime.


We looked dead on our feet yesterday, fact Rovers can change their team if they want doesnt bode well for us. Will take penos

Yeah your right. It reminded of that flood lad when he basically assaulted quigley last year in the play offs. At least the ref did the right thing then hey. Sent that lad packing Honour in football is alive and well in Div 1.

Jesus have your ever seen what goes on at corners, Twigg done what he had to do to get an edge on the defender like all good forwards do.

Agreed generally, the own goal is not legislatable, but it had been coming from the minute Rovers scored. Price clearing from under his own bar from a couple of simple headers from free-kicks, Flynn knocking a Mannus save round the post on his own line. Head tennis and 3-4 clearances from corners and crosses.

A goal was coming (unlike Fingal), that it was an og is coincidence..

paulcorr

I wouldnt normally knock MON but his insistance on going to one up front when we are leading has killed us so many times,we invite teams on to us every week.At one stage with 10 minutes to go with had a corner and we had 1 player in the box.Billy broke forward a couple of minutes later 2 players in the box and he turns out of the box and heads for the corner.Bradley is a disaster in the middle but no real options when we have to play ricer at right full.Good thing for tuesday is sives will be back and ricer can push back into the middle. Chambers looks like he will be out i think 48hrs is a riduculous
amount of time to give 2 part time teams between games.If players have injuries how are they expected to recover in time another FAI blunder.

So some people reckon Twigg didn't push the defender? :eek:

All Rovers tickets 1200 sold out tonight to members and season ticket holders,another small allocation available tomorrow morning.

This on TV? It's bad enough working in Inchicore, but Inchicore with 1,200 Shams and too many Pats would be a nightmare.

Maybe they can switch the game to the Aviva for you if you lodge a complaint quickly.

dreamers75

Reason its not on tv is UEFA dont allow stations to show domestic games on a CL night so as not to take away form CL viewers.

RTE using that as an excuse but they were never gonna show it anyway.


Should be good atmosphere cant see us getting anything out of it tho, players look ****ed.

Us too although our squad is bigger even if we're carrying a few knocks at the minute.

Can see sloppiness abounding as a result.

First game in Richmond for me for a Rovers game in a couple of years. That's a bad omen..

Fairly long queue at 6.30 outside Tallaght. I went past the Supersaints shop this morning, is it ever open? I've never seen it open - could you get tickets there if it was?

Yep, say it opened around 10. I was down there twice today anyway and there was a fair few down there.

Tallaght Saint

Shop is open from 10 every morning. Only home tickets can be bought from our club shop

Have a foreboding feeling too. It's been a long, long season. Team are going to look like the war-wounded by Friday.

1-0 Rovers

edit: "..and rovers have kicked in ANOTHER advertisin' board:rolleyes:,"

"..theyve kicked in a SECOND one ya mean :rolleyes:,"

Pats commentary is gas

They've mentioned 3 hand balls since I started listening twenty odd minutes ago, so far not one of them has been punished by the ref.

1-0 FT

Pats fan runs onto the pitch and tries to start on a few.. hundred rovers. Rovers fans invade the pitch, Gards hold back Pats fans.

Not the first time that has happened there. Remember the season we went down they beat us there to leave us in real trouble and several Pats fans decided to leg it onto the pitch and 'celebrate' right in front of the travelling Rovers fans.

They then pulled the same stunt last year, running on the pitch to confront Rovers fans at fulltime and only the Gards stopped it getting ugly. Looks like they were slow off the mark this time.

Post 1

Cracking atmosphere absolutley unreal, we should have scored 1st half but missed 2 sitters. 2nd half they got into it and caused us problems. The sending off was never a sending off. Lynch wasnt last man and twigg was theatrical to say the least. Goal came shortly after and again with 15 minutes to go Rovers timewasting holding the ball in the corners with 15 minutes to go! We had a bit of push as they sat back but wasnt to be.


Atmosphere at that match was ****ing unreal up until well i get to that in post 2. But how can anyone go to that match and for 94 minutes not love football.

Post 2

94th minute onwards, Shamrock Rovers fans are ****ing scum serious scum. And this wasnt an element this was more than half their ****ing fans on the pitch a few got on to celebrate with the players fair enough stay in your half and pat them on the back etc:

But not enought for this scum, who marched up the pitch ****ing bottles and umbrellas at the pats fans who obviously were not gonna stand there and take it. Not one gardai on the pitch left to ours and their stewards to sort it. As i was leaving looked like a full battalion of riot squad converging outside. Stay out of inchicore tonight i doubt this will end well.

Hope to **** they get the baton charge their scummer fans deserve. Will link to 2 youtube videos in a few minutes the 1st from the start of the match and the 2nd form the 2nd. Really shows how Rovers are the best and worst fans in in the league.

Pure scum.

According to a Pat's fan on foot.ie - 'Re : The trouble - The first thing I saw was a lad in a white hoodie run the length of the pitch from the Pats end and start swinging digs down the shed end in the middle of about 50 Rovers fans as they ran on the pitch to celebrate.'

Jonathan Roches statement will probably read something like: "These were not Rovers fans, these were local Inchicore smack heads looking for Wayne Deans!"

How come you forgot to add in that Pats fans behind the goal goaded them? And ran away as soon as their wish came true? The first bottle I saw came from the stand.

I was the last Rovers fan out, nothing happened.

No stewards at the Pats end. Not a single one.

Saw that. He was bundled away by stewards. I actually called over to them as they were manhandling him very roughly.

Also heard that a few young D7 citizens were present at the game - as is their constitutional right of course.

I'm not going to defend anybody from our side but, like -dfx, I'm sure I also saw the first missiles coming down from the stand. Not that our supporters should have been anyway near that end of course.

There was always the potential for trouble from the last game of last season when Pats supporters tried to get into the shed at the end of the game.

The majority of people on the pitch were just celebrating with the players from what I could see - admittedly from the shed.

I was chatting to the one of the riot cops outside. He said there was no fighting (at that time - 10 minutes after kick-off - anyway) but they were just dispersing the supporters by separate ways. I parked in Inchicore and couldn't see any evidence of burning buildings, riots and the like but maybe they were bringing civilisation to its knees down the back-streets instead. I texted my wife some emergency amendments to our will just in case though.

P.S - anybody who wasn't at the game shouldn't spout their usual bitter guff.

Great game and great atmosphere. Couldn't have been far off a full house? Dessie Baker had an outstanding game. Didn't really catch the sending off incident but I thought Pat Flynn and especially Enda Stevens were a bit lucky with the ref tonight.

Game sounded good, atmosphere on the radio probably didn't do it justice. Supposedly close to a full one. According to the lads on the radio, the sending off was harsh.
