And one game in the First Division:



Friday 14th September 2012

Athlone Town v Wexford Youths - (7.45PM) - Lissywoollen

Wexford Youths
Athlone Town

GLaDOS

Big game for Bohs tonight, lose and our season is essentially over. Tails will be up after the big win on Monday but need to keep our feet on the ground and get the job done. Hopefully the team have learned the dangers of complacency after Thor.

Live in hope.

Finally

Am heading to Tolka tonight, seriously hoping for a Shels win

dfx-

Would be hoping for a reaction from the players and the fact that the game is not in Tallaght is good going on form. Not expecting anything though.

So you expect to lose to a side that has won just 3 out of 13 home league games this season?

Lucan Bohs

Dundalk will be up for this and will be playing for a draw. Even if we draw I'm confident we'll beat them up there as their small squad will struggle to play twice in 3 days

dfx-

In a cup quarter final when Rovers have just sacked their manager, lost to Bohs at home, were lucky to draw at home to Shels 7 days ago, several players whose attitude is at best poor, their star striker hasn't scored in ten games and who leak goals with equally shocking home form. Yeah..

You make it seem like a pretty even match tonight.

We'd love to have sacked our manaager......

That's the only fear I have, Shamrock Rovers with a new manager...sometimes, this gives the players a boost.

Btw...if it's draw after 90 minutes, will there be extra time and pennos, or a replay? I really don't know

If it's a draw after 90 mins, there'll be no extra-time.

Replay, if needed, will be in Tallaght on Monday evening.

(Winning after a replay would be a great financial boost for the club).

Mr.Crinklewood

Bit of a bollox that there are no matches on live.

35% of the gates money, isn't it?

Think it's 60:40 for the home side (as they foot the bill for security, match officials, etc).

Not 100% sure though.

Youse got a draw against our ten men in the first game in '96.

We dont have a new manager, we have an assistant manager stepping up, who isnt fit to lace the boots of the players let alone manage them.

I think some players need to realise that they probably wont get a new contract next season if they keep up this work ethic. Twigg for one is a shadow of himself, we wont be breaking the bank to resign with his current record.

Live commentary of Pats v. Drogheda coming up here.

dan1895

1-0 Shels

dan1895

Rovers down to 10 men! Oman off!

LoonyLovegood

Half time in two matches, Derry winning 3-0 against Mervue (anyone surprised? No?) and Pats and Drogheda are scoreless.

I can't lie, I would have loved to see Mervue beat Derry, just because they're first division. No chance now though.

He is having a bad week, getting sent off and getting beat by Ireland

:eek: 2-0

Oat23

Looks like Shams are going out. 2-0 Shels now.

Could really go trophy-less now, and no Europe next year! :eek:

dan1895

C'mon Reds see it out!

dan1895

Full time, 2-1. Every game in Tolka I've missed this season we won. Should stay away more often!

The_Kew_Tour

Good win for Shels.

dreamers75

Drogs are hard to beat

Doubt we will get anything up there, Sava got man of the match even tho he didnt have a lot to do. Beating Drogs gets you an xbox achievement this year.


Shamrocks catching up on us in the stupid cup thing.

Fantastic footballer but doesn't half leave a dent on the pitch when he goes on a "run".

I'd start him every time

I did enjoy the night, great win, well deserved. Even if the last few minutes were a bit tense. But anyway...looking forward to the final now

Another game to navigate first there haha.

GLaDOS

Disgusted with that, we were really poor going forward and got what we deserved.

Season over now.

What the holy fúck happened for their goal? Bastard Shels conceding in injury time again.

First goal was excellent, Casso great winning the ball and squaring.

Header was brilliant for the second.

Was it a red? Yeah probably.

Alan Kelly is a shít referee.

dfx-

It says it all about Rovers at the minute that not even Shels could bottle that lead, despite their attempt.

Shels no 5 left it for the keeper and the keeper was expecting him to head it...it's about the only way Rovers were going to score.

Cracking header for the second. Leaped like a salmon..

In the first half, yes.

In the second, poison.

I think that cross might've been the only shot on target from Rovers, so Shels were well worth their win, but still..

Also, I've a sore throat from abusing Kelly.

Silly man.

It wasn't.

Bennion made a decent save in the first half, down to his right.

The save by the Rovers Keeper at the end of the first half was brilliant too btw.

Think thats a bit unfair, we badly missed Cronin and Gorman who had both really driven us on in terms of workrate in the first, but we defended well when we had to (except for the obvious howler) and really could have got more than just the 2.
