how much did ye win by in the end?:pac:

Mushy

I thought UCD were odds on for the drop....Bray are gonna surpass them at this rate.

NIMAN

Great comeback by Drogs, I had a tenner double on them and Derry.

GLaDOS

Good results for us with everyone below us losing, need to pick up something against Limerick though.

7-0 is some trashing. Great Rovers performance, ****e from Bray, or something in between?

**** Matthews

as I was queuing for my ticket this evening a steward approached me and said "be careful tonight, the president is in, don't be abusive to the manager". You see, the last two home games I've walked by the dugout just before full time and told that c... him to get the fúck out of the club.

I know the steward personally, so said yeah, I'd be on good behaviour.

Well, when the pen was given I started to leave, down from Section E, passed the bar, on to the dugouts and stopped to tell matthews to fúck off.

the bleedin police had to move me on, hardly an appropriate response.

Hammer Archer

Think if we had a referee that could do his job properly we could have gotten something out of that. No complaints about Kavanagh's second yellow but his first was a fantastically timed challenge. The linesman who was 5 yards away deemed it was a fair challenge yet the referee who was 30 yards away deemed it was worth a yellow.
Best performance of the season (that I've seen anyway) but once again ridiculous defending cost us. Looking forward to Drogheda next week.

Mars Bar

Salthill concede in the 93rd minute to lose a game they should have won. Football, eh?

Nearly lost two cameras up on the balcony when a wayward shot came up my way.

Lawrence1895

Michael D. in Tolka tonight. Don't know what he was doing there, maybe he didn't have a good laugh in a good while?

And as usual, the lads in the away end had some fun...but this might apply to each and every away supporter in Tolka these days...

AgileMyth

Statement of intent from Shamrocks. Not going down.

They should have removed you from the ground.

no shots vs 11 men, loads vs 10 win 1-0

Saints dont do draws but we are going to click and when we do someone is getting a hiding or we will lose.

We like a coin toss Win or Lose....there is no inbetween.

Hope we do but dunno we have the makings and ability of a great great team but final balls or midfield passes go astray.

Europe pays the wages......**** the league and every other compo.....we get more from Europe than any team winning every single compo in ireland gets.

dfx-

A great performance. Third goal was terrific. For once, no Robinson, 2 upfront, no Rice being the attacking midfielder nonsense, no McCormack at right back. Simple stuff, Finn and Quigley ran riot with Kilduff excellent as well.

Sullivan booked for dissent on 62 minutes (I was so close) and had to be subbed off to not get sent off and made a fuss going off. When your club captain is having to be taken off to avoid a red card for dissent when you're 5-0 up at home, there's a problem.

I'd be worried if I was a Bray fan. Devlin is usually out marshalling them, he was sat in his seat for the majority of the game and all second half. Everyone but Waters basically gave up, very poor body language. If you lose Waters who was chasing everything even at 6-0, I'd say UCD could have an escape clause..

Lawrence1895

A quick reminder for all football supporters from all over the country:

Are you looking for a great night out? Are you looking for a great party venue?
Just come down to Tolka, you only have to be an away supporter, and you will enjoy three points, get a lesson of how to take the lead and loose the match, and you will certainly have a great time.

In fairness to Mick he's a huge LOI fan. He was president at Galway United and was a regular there too. He's been in Dalyer a few times over the years and got a great reception both times. The last time the Derry fans even gave him a better reception than the home fans. In fairness to him he stopped to sign programmes and to get in pics. Top bloke!

I just thought, he would be a lucky charm for Shels

drumlover22

Shels fans, is it bad subs from Matthews or just lack of concentration that has you's conceding so many late goals?

Some game in Cobh - Mervue 5-3 down and down to eight men. Four penalties, three sendings off...

Sounds like an entertaining affair!

One was the first choice and I think the second was an outfield player playing in goal.

Bit of a selection dilemma for the visit of The Youths next week.

Was it straight reds for the keepers or how'd they manage to get through so many?

Up to the 60th min we were doing ok, Drogs pressuring, Mathews should have replaced Philly Hughes with Robert Bayly to add break up the potential attacks. Instead Mathews waits till we're 2-1 down! :rolleyes:

SantryRed

The team isn't fit. They're set up awfully. There's no organisation. It's a ****ing joke.

Ebbs

Raf Cretaro on late night TV ads for hair growth. Looks like he went down the Mooney route and sold his soul.

It's not all about fitness, imo. No real communication between midfield and attack, the defense goes all over the place, once Shels concede a goal, no patience, just hoofing the ball towards Philly Hughes,,,

It needs someone with motivation skills, someone who is able to build up the player's confidence.

If City do not start showing some massive improveemnt soon I can see a lot of people turning on the manager. Once again we were utterly clueless on Saturday. Sligo were not great shakes either, but they didn't need to be as we possessed no threat whatsoever.

I have questioned Tommy Dunnes signings before and I will do so again. Rundle looks a nothing player. Dennehy is a sick note. Behan. Enough said. Furlong will take time to get used to the Premier. Kavanagh looks ok. But only ok. He is not a scorer. A worker most certainly mind.

Shells on Friday could be a very grim game indeed.

Would not be surprised if Shels won.

We are not setting world alight.

In saying that we were not so bad Saturday.

We lack creativity in final third. Behan is like playing with 10 men.

Pighead

Still haven't managed to win at home this season. We started off great against Derry with Keith Ward running the game for the first half hour. Scored the opener and looked like we'd score the second. Then we gave away a stupid penalty (everybody around me said it was very harsh but it looked like a push in the back to me. Soft maybe but a foul nonetheless) and fell to pieces.

Neil Doyle was the ref and he was awful. In fairness to him he got most of the big decisions correct but some of the yellows he gave out were ridiculous. Also missed a blatant peno for Derry where he gave them a free kick even though their player was fouled near the penalty spot. hope they show that on MSN.

Bohs up next. Away from home which is good as we seem to play better away from Oriel these days.

geeky

Friday night in Tallaght was basically the Mark Quigley show. I hope we keep the set-up the same: Having Kilduff up top keeps the defence honest so ol' mushroom-head can go wandering, and lets the midfield actually play with the ball. He looked different class, and improved other players like Powell as well.

With better wing play, it could have gone into double digits. Bray were dreadful, but that was a night I felt Rovers could have beaten any other Irish team.

Will be a very grim game if the pitch is that sandy!

Ye have a decent record in Cork.

And the pitch has been prtty poor this season as well, so yes, expect a fair bit of sand.

This has got to be the most poorly advertised game ever.

But supposedly Shels are playing Pats tonight!

Paddy Power say they will wait until Wednesday before making a decision regarding the penalty market in the @shelsfc v @DroghedaUnited. #LOI

lads any tips for tonight?

Be mean if you dont share them.

Peppa Pig

That penalty thing is a bit strange, there were four penalties in our match against Limerick. The penalty on Friday was fairly straightforward as well, Daly pushed over in the box.

Real pity we're playing in Thomand after the rugby.

Think we could have turned Limerick over on a normal pitch.
