I want lots of goals at the Cross.

Mint Sauce

Hopefully the League Champions continue to push for a great finish to the season.

No match this week.

The_Kew_Tour

Cork should win, but hate to think we will ruin our fine run of draws this season.:o

I go 2-0 though.

Lucan Bohs

Feels like a whole off-season since my last Bohs game (vs Cork, 21st September) so looking forward to tomorrow.

Should be a good footballing game

Cant beat the Carlisle grounds for an away day. Few tins on the Dart and a blowie on Bray Head (hence the name).

Ye Dubs have it easy. I suppose we have time for more tins though!

Should be 10000000/1! We are bad at the best of times but this evening nearly all of our first team are missing through injury. No Foran, no Mountney, no Shanahan, no Griffin and no Liam Burns. Those five have probably been our only decent performers all season. No McDonnell, Walsh or O'Brien either.

I actually think this could end up 5 or 6-0 in Cork's favour. A defence without Foran and Burns mean we're absolutely goosed. Cork (-1) @ nearly evens is cert I reckon.

Anyway it's all about the playoff for us now. As long as we have most of those players back I'd be quietly confident of maintaining our premier league status. Will be absolutely nerve-wracking though.

Cup Final warmup game at the Brandywell tonight.

Fancy a draw.

Hammer Archer

First time in Tallaght stadium tonight. Still a slim chance of moving up a place or two if we win tonight. But I'm expecting Twigg to get at least one goal and Rovers to win pretty comfortably.

Make or break for Longford in the playoff. Hard to see much of a future in the first division with only 7 teams in it next year (pending additional clubs gaining entry and equally the risk of losing some). First leg in Flancare tomorrow night, would be nice to take something to Waterford for next week although we seem to have better luck in away fixtures!

Need to stop McGuire running riot like he did in the RSC a few weeks ago.

Biggest game in years, roll on tomorrow night.

Boring, a matchday without Shels

The Internet

Sligo Rovers ‏@sligorovers
Team: Brush, Henderson, Gaynor, Peers, McGuinness, Cretaro, Ndo, Cawley, Lynch, Connolly, Buchanan

Looks like we're giving Drogs a chance with that line up

Decent support you have down there, a bit of smoke and stuff

Cork City 2 nil up already.

Bloody typical that couldn't go.

In fairness that's one of the adjectives that some people use to describe a matchday with Shels.

Shels supporters or the opposition?

Fair play to Drogheda.

2-1 down to 10 men.

Great finish.

Lawrence1895

Fair play to Drogheda indeed, welcome to Europe

Frequently both. I haven't personally been bored very much but then I'd watch two dogs fighting over a football.

Derry City 2 - 1 St Pats

But we are still underdogs for the final ok?

Have you heard about pats and the cup?

Would have liked 2nd tho

Nice win at the Cross. Dundalk not up to much though.

Pighead .......is ........scary!!!!

Hammer Archer

Well I was right about Twigg getting at least one but it was anything but a comfortable win. Deserved at least a point but Tuite was determined to make sure Rovers got the 3 points. Unbelievable that he only gave Jansson a yellow for taking down McMillan when he was clean through. Jansson then went on to make a fantastic save with 5 minutes left. He also missed a handball in the box from a free kick.
Really going to miss Dave McMillan next season. He's now scored 7 in just 14 appearances. His goal today was absolute quality. Hopefully he gets a few against Shels next week to sign off in style.

Mahon called him inspector gadget and not in a nice way

No surprise at the result. For me though the more positive thing was the attendance.

2,800 odd at the game.

Only a few years ago a meaningless end of season game like that would have only drawn a few 100. Shows how much the club has established itself.

Great to see.

Maybe in 10 years time we will be getting 4 an 5 thousand every game. With the current structures its not just about short term goals but about the long term. It's the kind of thinking that has been lacking in Cork soccer since day 1.

2800 is impressive, would love that at a home game

79 goals in 89 games that He has now, 20 goals a season. Wheeling back the years with the take and finish for the first goal.

Drogheda supporters were deadly. Terrible game though.

Its great losing and not caring in the slightest.

Back to winning ways against the minnows next week.

Great to see so many young lads singing and jumping about!

Good performance by Derry last night, and sets it up nicely for the final as we know that Pats are a strong side.

Both sides played good football and went for the win. Roll on 4th Nov.

He was in Australia for a good chunk of the season but came back to do a semester in college. No idea if he's going back to Australia or if he's staying in Ireland but he won't be at UCD next season anyway.
I seriously think we'd be in the playoff instead of Dundalk had he not been around. Our great run over the last 10 games or so coincided with him coming into form.

I say bar 98/99 and 2005 this has been our best attendances for season.

Hopefully it will improve next year and so on.

Great atmosphere in HD park last night. The Drogs fans had a group of Trabzonspor fans in with them. It was the Turks who lead the conga:D

I think the Sligo fans were doing the conga as well. Mick Cooke was like the pied piper when he went over to congratulate the Sligo fans and all the Drogs fans followed him to have the impromptu singing love in.

I wonder how much the FAI will fine us for the pitch invasion :rolleyes:

southlouth type

Deadly Buzz in Utd pk last night . We battered them in the first half and should have had at least 3 goals ! Poxy decision by the ref to send fabio off .... Ruined the game tbh . Oh well Europe here we come ... Great great season .. Delighted ...

Omackeral

Bohs fans in Bray last night....

probably looked a bit better through the claret and blue tinted specs, but it was one of the better games i've seen this season. the young drogs fans were great alright. actually got the rest of us going for a change

anyway, well done Sligo. worthy champions.

applehunter

Waterford take a big step to a showdown with Dundalk.

0-2 at the Flansiro tonight.
