The Vllaznia sub keeper didnt make much of an effort to keep out the penalty
Things are not right in Terryland...the boos have begun!

any1 else notice the caption under tony mcdonnell's name just before the interview with roddy? it said "still uses his old student card to get discounts on cinema tickets"
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
I wonder what clubs refused the karaoke thing.

enjoyed the show last night, thought the showgrounds and terryland looked really well on camera. behans goal should win goal of the month this time i think. thought the kareoke bit was funny with the bohs lads.
Think Lesters goal will get it!Saying that though they did leave out Mickey Daly's goal down in Cork when he lobbed it intot he net from an acuate angle at the edge of the box!
I thought Gary Deegan's sending off was very harsh.
GOTM is between Behan and Byrne for me
Having just seen the highlights, am I the only one who found aspects of Vllaznia's performance a little bit...odd? Celebrations were conspicuously muted when the second goal (an own goal, remember) went in, they didn't appeal the penalty decision, and then the keeper thumps someone in the box for no reason and his replacement stands rooted to the line for the second penalty.
They seemed very keen to win, but not necessarily 2-0...
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
the defending for the first goal was very poor and i dont know how they got mixed up for the second one. seemed unlucky with the chances. if we could get an early goal then who knows...maybe.
Absolutely. I followed the betting in running for the whole game.
With 5 mins to go, you could get 13/10 or more on under 2.5 goals (i.e. no more goals) which is crazily high, would normally expect about 1/4 or less.
At HT, with the game at 0-0, over 2.5 was very short odds also, compared to what the odds would normally be.
This was with asian bookies where money taken influences the price changes as much if not more than form or performance.
I'm sure you've heard the fix rumours before the game... about 700k matched on betfair on Sligo
My theory .. and that of a lot of other gamblers is Vllaznia tried to throw the game ...evident by their lack of tackling and general slowness in the 1st half when Sligo attacked. By fluke they scored from a long range shot, .then when Sligo scored the OG there followed very muted celebration...another fluke they could not go and concede 3 deliberate goals and have the weight of UEFA breathing down on them for match fixing. So they got somebody to heavily back over 2.5 goals to recover some of what they lost due to Sligo not being able to take the chances handed to them on a plate, gave away 1 peno which Sligo missed (not a save though!), then gave away an absolutely ridiculous 2nd peno..and when I saw the keeper not budge on MNS last night my mind was made up!

In fairness, the celebrations for the second are very quiet (or maybe it's just the one lad in picture who had himself at 10/1 to score, or is possibly breaking his sh!te at one of the most ridiculous own goals I've ever seen), and late challenge or not, the sending off was utterly retarded.
The betting figures are interesting though, even if the rest is speculation to fit the theory.
Brilliant last night
