If Dundalk hang on here or even win, i eagerly await Pighead's post with great anticipation!!

Must have been a great match, the guy on Extratime is 'catching his breath'

Going to Limerick - Pats game on Saturday evening in Thomond. Probably a good time to be playing Pats after the spanking they took off Rovers last week.

Pighead

Ha! Will take that point all day long. We were absolutely brutal this evening. No idea how we came away with a draw. Well actually I do. It's most likely got to do with our never say die attitude and our warrior spirit. Defeat is a word we do not contemplate.

Ward got us back in the game with a nice free kick and less than a minute later Mulvenna was bundled over in the box for a clear peno which Dillon despatched. Drogs were hanging on in the end and only scraped a point thanks to a decent Sava save late on.

Think I'm right in saying that all nine of our goals (League and EA Cup) have been scored in the second half. Not one goal scored in the first half in seven games. What a fcuking team. Only bother playing for 45 minutes a game and still lie third in the table. That's why we're champions (elect).

Don't agree. Although disappointing as it was to gift the only goals Shams have scored in the league this season, i do think we're going to go down there and see out the victory. Possession football, Limerick to have a man sent off out of frustration and we deliver the killer blow.

I have a feeling Kenny Browne gets the winner from a set piece, but i truly hope that Christy Fagan stabs (pardon the pun Limerick) home the winner to get his own season underway!!

1-0 Rovers already.

Raf Cretaro with the goal.

Live on RTE TWO.

Enjoyable game so far. Nice bit of football being played.

SantryRed

What a goal! Strike by Greene!

applehunter

Doesn't reflect the flow of the game at all.

Bohs playing some great ball.

They are lacking quality up front though.

It might be a quiet evening for Niall Burdon next Monday

Balmed Out

Great to see the tv game having such a good goal.

Lawrence1895

Decent away support at the Brandywell, from what I can hear on Drive 105.3 :cool:

applehunter

HT

Shamrock Rovers 0-1 Cork City

Colin Healy with the goal.

Would be a huge win for this side. ...:o

Lawrence1895

Anyone at the Brandywell? What's the story with the penno not given for Shels and the not given red card?

Mars Bar

Not in Athlone tonight with SD which inevitably means I miss a goal fest. 3-2 at half time!

ShamoBuc

Harps get 2 fast goals....2-2 now.

applehunter

Galway United fans with secret clenched fists hearing that update.

The_Kew_Tour

Rundle should of made it 2-0 to City

Jason Molloy missed a peno to take it put them ahead!

applehunter

Cork City down to 10 men.:o

Mars Bar

3-3 in Athlone! SD pull one back in the 89th minute. Hopefully they can hold on!

applehunter

No way we hold out.:o

ShamoBuc

Derry bang in a 3rd against Shels

Lawrence1895

Make it 4:0 to Derry. Back to the drawing board. Balls :mad:

Mars Bar

Not a bad evening for Galway football although it sounds like Mervue threw their game away. Athlone 3 - 3 Salthill Devon. Mervue United 2 - Finn Harps 2.

Also, lol at the airtricity league twitter feed. They got the FT result of the Mervue game incorrect.

applehunter

Dreading how much added time ref will add.

edit : 4 mins

One time!!

The_Kew_Tour

Hang on City!!

Hang on!!

ShamoBuc

Fúck sake

**** off.:mad::mad::mad:

I hate being right.

first Ireland now City

**** **** ****

applehunter

That's a killer.

Same as the game in the Cross last season.

The_Kew_Tour

Happy with a point before the game, not throwing it away in the 94th minute.

He could do with it after tonight.

Are the Shams fans starting up their 'Croly Out' campaign yet?? :pac:

Waterford United lose to Wexford Youths tonight. 1 point from 9 for the Blues. Wonder why it's all gone wrong down there at the RSC?

NIMAN

Derry 4 - 0 Shels

Good win tonight without playing overly well. Sean Houston looks like he has the potential to be a very good player. Hope his injury isn't too bad. Team starting to look like it has a good basis for a good season, with Patterson, Rafter, Houston all playing well, with Kavanagh to come in too.

Another few goals on Monday now v Bray and it will be a good Easter.

United looked absolutely useless tonight. Particularly the back four and keeper. Vinny Sullivan looked lively up front. Was standing behind the blues dugout, think the manager had lost interest altogether in the second half. Actually the whole performance reminds me of when we beat them 6-0 last season, just total disinterest. The only difference being the Youths were lacking Tom Elmes and Danny Furlong to put all the chances away.

Youths were very happy to walk away with the three points

overshoot

i was never a big fan of o'brien but thats been an awful start, poor start last year too tho, i wonder will he get the time again this year tho?

yea always liked him, could see good ability in him back when he was a teenager making his senior debut and has progressed well since

happy with 2-2 after being 2 down, would have jumped at that result at half time... and given ciaran had to save a penalty too

kev mchugh up to 7th on the all time loi list on 158 after netting 4 in 4 so far, 1 off glen crowe in 6th. hopefully a good crowd in finn park next week, 732 or so last week another 100+ would do nicely

Rafters goal was a peach. Worth the entrance fee. Peno just trickling in off the keeper was funny. Good win for Derry. Pity ill not see the bray game. Need to build on this strong performance. Thought shels were poor.

Glad with a point after being down to 10 men. Hate how I havent made a match this season yet. Quigley will be out for Mondays match against Derry it appears.

Is their forum down yet?


Shels match sounded dire. Monday should be interesting.

Between those two games, Rovers have used up all the luck from late goals conceded in front of the Shed.

Up until the red card, Cork were well disciplined and Healy never left Chambers' side other than scoring the goal. As a result Rovers were toothless, Finn rendered anonymous. Red card, Cork resorted to booting the ball away instead of keeping it. Still Rovers were extremely fortunate even then. Goal was the fourth last touch of the ball.

You can see that he worked with Pats last season. Everything goes through Chambers and the centre halves and when Healy never let him get on the ball, Rovers created nothing at all.

Have to hope he comes up with some alternative.

Everything goes through Chambers - -that's what Croly is relying on?

Shams might as well give up now.

Two in a row for Sligo.

There is a way around that, took us a while but we figured it out.

In fairness Croly was leaving mid Sept and thats when it happened, but we figured it out, our end of season results showed we figured it out.

Just cant believe they scored 3 goals against us

Oat23

Feel a bit stupid now predicting 3rd for us, but that prediction was in 2013 BE (before Eldinho) so I get a pass.

Ohh Anthony Elding...

Huge game on Tuesday for Shams in Limerick. Hopefully we'll do a professional job on UCD the day before and put more pressure on them to get a win down there.
