'Bout fookin time

dfx-

Pats is my local derby, so always enjoy beating them/hate losing to them. Winning the semi-final there in 2010 was great, especially having been asked 'was I feeling it slip away' in the previous few days.

Also I went home on the 13 after the game last week and it was an interesting experience with them returning from Drumcondra

Dub XV

I think there is a chance of Shels movin back up a few places this weekend. The highlights on MNS on Monday showed Dundalk playing half decent in the first half but I reckon Shels should be capable of a win.

Mon Drogs could easily be a draw.

Interesting to see the outcome of Pats -v-Rovers and Bohs -v- Cork.

That_Guy

Bohs 99 - 0 Cork

Making up for lost time.

ShamoBuc

City to get their first league win of the year in a 2-1 victory.


Bohs goal is bound to be an og!

stovelid

Going for a draw in Richer. Think it will be a bit of a battle.

GLaDOS

Big game between us and Cork. A win would be huge for us.

On another note, be nice to see Longford beat Limerick.

Is it a tenner for student tickets in every ground?

It is at Rovers.

Cheers. It's a tenner in UCD as well so I presume it's the same across the board. Gonna take a trip out to the Carlisle grounds.

According to this, it's a tenner:

Bit hard to find ticket prices on the club site.

upandcumming

I was very annoyed that an adult ticket and student are the same price in the Carlisle. A tenner for a LSC game is sad.

Also... COME ON THE TOWN! Back to winning ways in Jackman!

Hopefully.


As for our match, hoping for a win up in Dundalk tbh and no snow please!

Roar

If we don't win in Failymount I'll cry. Should be three points. But I reckon 1-1 draw.

Zebra3

Travelling in hope of three points on Friday.






And with a bag of cans. :pac:

Witchie

Its €8 for students in Monaghan and €12 for adult.

UCD students are a fiver at the Belfield Bowl, so I go there when Bray are playing away. Luckily its alternate weeks. Last I heard it was €10 for student alright at the Carlisle.

Can't see much from this game. Sligo surely have enough, I can see them winning by 3/4 goal margin:(

I'm glad you think so, a bit worried about this one for some reason. It's strange when we were bad I used to think on the way to places like Bohs that we could win or get a draw and now I'm worried about potentionally dropping points away to Bray, though we have a good record there the last 3 seasons or so.

Well I suppose anything can happen alright, but in reality, it won't be a good night. Brays defence isn't strong enough, although Dane Massey will be back. Hoping Mitchell is too, just have to wait for the team news to be put up. If he is, it might limit it down a bit, but I'm expecting nothing. Isn't helping that I've to go on my own, but will hopefully get some enjoyment.

Any of the rovers lads know what actually went on? Doubt it was just an fai decision.

Appears to be.

Rotten for the overseas lads. It's hardly like it's going to draw people in their droves away from MNS.

Typical really. You get more games on telly and then they put them at KO times that hurts crowds and then they cut off the only way that many overseas fans can see games.

_blank_

FAI in bad decision shocker.

They really don't give a shít about this league, the clubs, the fans or anything else bar themselves.

****, to a man.

AgileMyth

We have respected the commercial rights of broadcasters in not putting our highlights up until after the 9pm Monday night embargo, and in not streaming when a game was being broadcast by a commercial television station.

The above quote from SRFCTV highlights just how stupid this decision is from the FAI. Fair play to Shams for attempting this initiative and going about it in a respectful way. Pity that forward thinking isn't welcome in this league.

Hopeful of three points in Bray. With Quigley and Pascal both set to be in contention for the following game and John Dillon pushing hard for a starting place a lot of players will be looking to secure their own positions in the team. North in his current form will surely be too much for Bray's defence.

In fairness thats not entirely true, ustream has an option to record games (we do it for all of our audio as Pats asked us to ) SRFC left the games recorded in full from the final whistle. FAI/RTE seemed upset about the Shels game in particular but its not the only game.

Wonder if i getting a call tommorrow

Also, Failymount. I actually laughed out loud when I read that.

Do the FAI just copy what the bigger leagues do and apply it to our league despite the fact it makes no sense. We have this and the moving of kick off to stupid times like 7:00pm.

With the right results Drogs to go top with a thumping win in Monaghan

A draw might not be a bad result anyway, as I'm sure Monaghan will have a touch of the rabid dogs about them for this one!

Nope dont do tv games, far away saints can watch it on rte.ie

Can you elaborate? As far as I know there has been no communication from either organisation indicating disatisfaction with the Shels game being up.

Nope sorry, i asked people in both organistions and RTE said nothing to do with them. FAI wouldnt confirm anything. Said i was fine tho but i wait and see

CrowdedHouse

Mervue play in Fahy's Field

Terryland Park will soon be Deacy Park

Just like in Irish political life, passing the buck. :rolleyes:

Would I be a cynic in suggesting this is to help erase the memory of Galway United?

Bit harsh. I dont agree but i see his point.

I don't think that's the case at all. After all, Chick is a Galway United legend.

Hopefully there will be a GUFC/West United legends vs Aston Villa legends match in Deacy Park this summer.

Bray are without Massey and Mitchell this week...god help us. Its gonna be a cold lonely night down by the seaside.

dreamers75

SEI (god i love them kids) have possibly the most complicated display in the history of football planned for tomorrow.

If it works they deserve Olympic Gold medals in something.

Way too complicated too work with drunk football fans but should be fun to watch them try.

Hopefully it is at least a little bit better than that pathetic thing at Tolka last week.

So a week later your still on about it, this lad would call it a success.




I thought it was quite apt in response to you and rovers Ringsend love in, but SEI displays are not for away fans to "like" its quite the opposite. And well it worked.

NIMAN

Stewart Greacen possibly out for 2 months for Derry City.

If true, going to be a big loss for us.
