I'll go out on a limb and say Shels will lose.

The_Kew_Tour

Tomorrow will tell us a lot of where we stand in the Division.

We should be beating Shels as things stand, but after UCD put it up to us tomorrow will give us indication as to if we are better then that, our if we are something similar to last season maybe even slightly worse off.

I will go for narrow win.

GLaDOS

Result against Dundalk badly needed for Bohs. Another loss will be incredibly demoralising, there's only so long we can rely on the teams below us to be worse than us.

applehunter

Looking for this Cork City side to show a bit of composure. The amount of times players gave the ball away in Tallaght was criminal.

The big positive that can be taken from the game was the performance of Daryl Kavanagh. If other players can start making better runs around him I think we will improve our attacking play 100%.

Shels look in trouble because of a lack of quality. Philly Hughes will be their main threat.

Prediction

2-0

Kavanagh, Horgan

NIMAN

Big game at the Brandywell.

Hopefully Rovers will show some of their early season form, rather than last weeks, and we can turn them over.
Not sure if I want Pats to win, if they do, right on our tails, maybe better to have Sligo win?

gimmick

I hope the rain has stopped until after the game. Even as it is I'd imagine the pitch will cut up badly very early on.

I am fully expecting a drab game tmr. Shells have a decent record in Cork. They have to torn it round, or at least get their first win of the season, at some stage and I fear a smash and grab tmr.

Prediction 0-1.

dreamers75

Must not lose, be interesting to see how if pans out. We could easily win or lose this 4-0, stupid ****ing time anyway.


Not sure we have found our best team yet but players starting to click together.

The 'main threat' sits in the Shels dugout...

Don't worry Lars. I'll buy him a fine portion of Lennoxs chips so he will be happy out boy ;-)

Gavin "shels"

Can't say I'm hoping for much tomorrow, I'd jump at a point now, as Roddy (yes I know) we need to stop losing! Going to be one of the worse away grounds from us in Turners Cross tomorrow, unfortunately for me I've managed to weasel a half-day and will be making the trek, here's to alcohol!

Lovely Bloke

Philip Hughes will not be Shels' main threat tonight.

gimmick

Weather seems decent here today anyway. Hope it stays so and drys the pitch out.

ionadnapokot

Sligo to make it 9 in a row. Patricks play a similar formation but Sligo create allot more chances than the Saints.
Birmo v Cretaro will be great to watch. Bermo might have to curtail those bursts forward to prevent Sligo counterattacking through Rafa.
1v2 Sligo

Hammer Archer

First time in Drogheda tonight. How do you get into the away area can someone tell me?

It's beginning to look a bit ropey alright. Sickening defeat during the week off the back of two heavy home defeats (and the obligatory win over Shels).

This must be the third season in a row that home form has been mostly awful.

You might have to get there early to avoid the queues tonight.

It is the main entrance accross from the hospital on windmill road.

Hate playing UCD they are always a bogey team for us and there might be a bit of fatigue after tuesday night plus they are due some points.

Ah c'mon, buy him some fish with it as well, he always looks so sad, when I meet him in Tolka :pac:

Map here.
The car park is on the cross lanes. Supposedly you pay for your parking in the hospital but the lads always allow the football fans to pay cash on the way out (€4).
Home fans entrance is across from the car park. Head toward the hospital and turn right onto the windmill road and the ticket office is at the clubhouse.

Pity Lennoxes don't open an outlet in the ground so they can chase away the purveyors of pricey poison currently on hand.

[Thread title updated]

Rovers have an ok recent record in Derry which makes a change from the barren Liam Coyle and Jonathan Speake years. I've never seen Rovers lose up there anytime I've visited the Brandywell...but I'm not going.

Prepare to be demoralised. No way Dundalk lose this evening. Playing far better football than Bohs and we have a 100% record away from home. All our problems have been at home this season.

This will either end up a lucky 2-2 draw for Bohs or a deserved 3-1 victory for the good guys. What I do know is we'll be 2-1 up going into the final ten minutes.

Lovely Bloke

There was a meeting with the players, Matthews has told them he isn't going anywhere and that he has the backing of the board.

None of the players were happy, and he has definitely lost the dressing room.

Im thinking the same for Bray. Really need to start getting points, cos Shels and UCD will pick some up.

Heartbreaking stuff. Gonna be weird listening to Shels on the radio tonight.

Shels will be hammered tonight, and in the match after, and in the match after...

SantryRed

Pats Sligo has started on RTE Two.

Lawrence1895

Niall Burdon back in goal for Shels, it will only be a home win by a 4 or 5 goal margin :rolleyes:

SantryRed

Good start for Pats. Sligo been pretty sloppy so far.

Amirani

Dean Delaney is the worst Bohs keeper I've seen in a while. Completely at fault there again.

He kept a clean sheet in Tolka though...

Drogheda 2:0 up

SantryRed

Sligo have been absolutely ****e.

SantryRed

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I can't believe Davoren has just been sent off for that. **** me.

Neil Doyle you idiot.

Ebbs

If that is a red card then Ventre should be behind bars for his challenge.

Oat23

No wingers. Knew we would lose after I found out Cretaro was out. Connolly and Djilali have both been useless for most of the season.

Will I Amnt

That really was an awful decision to send him off. Probably not a pen either.
Great finish though

SantryRed

And now the penalty on top! **** me. I don't think Pats needed any help seeing out this game, considering how **** Sligo have bee, but they are two atrocious decisions.

Soups123

Two awful decisions by the ref

dreamers75

Oh hai guyz


Shocking red card and never a peno (reminds me of something ) but we dominated them, dont think Sligo had a shot in the game on target. Still dont think we have clicked getting there tho, slowly but surely getting there.

Brennan is quality him Bolger and Russell getting better and better each game.

kksaints

What a win. Some effort put into that match by all the Pats players. Bisto up front never stopped running and held up the ball perfectly. Brennan's peno was coolness personified.

That was never a red card for Davoren.

:eek:

Naughty FORAS

A Shelbourne player was down on the pitch injured, but Cork City played on. Daryl Horgan fizzed in a ball from the left side, which Danny Murphy happily stabbed home once the chance arose.

Matthews Out.

Lawrence1895

The rules of fair play say, if a player is lying on the pitch injured, you should play the ball over the line to have the injured player treated...

But with Shels being 1:0 again, I have to quote Homer Simpson...

CSF

Here Rovers, wanna swap managers?

The rules say ya play the whistle. Not saying that Shels didn't, I'm not at the game.

The_Kew_Tour

lol

2 **** teams.

We are no better then Shels

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :cool:

A goal under lucky circumstances on both sides, the point will do me fine.

We will take Dunne off your hands, if you'll take Matthews back?
