    Series 6

    Limerick v Cork City is postponed after the rugby yesterday.

    This means effectively that Limerick cannot host a scheduled game (it's not due to the weather). What are the rules surrounding this?

    There's definitely a precedent that if a team cannot host a game then home advantage is forfeited, it happened with Rovers in the 90s, including when they once played a home game at Turners Cross cos of rental issues.

    Monday 07-04
    7:45 p.m. Athlone Town v Bohemians
    7:45 p.m. Bray Wanderers v St. Patrick's Ath
    7:45 p.m. Dundalk v Derry City
    7:45 p.m. Limerick FC P-P Cork City
    7:45 p.m. Sligo Rovers v Drogheda United
    8 p.m. Shamrock Rovers v U.C.D

    I'm hoping Sligo continue their form lol. They are too good to be where they are in the table, I hope this game isn't where they start winning.

    According to Ian Baraclough, Sligo can still win the league
    http://extratime.ie/newsdesk/article...ll-win-league/

    Can Sligo fans fill us in - Is Baraclough talking through his pipe or is there any reason for optimism that Sligo can start turning their season around?

    Very hard to see us winning the league seeing as we can't score a goal! Will see where we are after the first series of games but if we keep going the way we are then he's certainly talking through his pipe. Scoring the first goal in a game would be a big help. Thought we were unlucky against Dundalk and Shams and didn't play well enough against Derry and Bray by all accounts.

    Collins also criticised the Lilywhites' Oriel Park 3G surface, but he wouldn't be using that as a excuse if they don't get anything from the game. "It's the worst pitch in the world, not even in Ireland, but the world, but we won't be even mentioning it because at the end of the day we are going to have to play on it".

    It's going to be a war of attrition for the first hour and the side who are conditioned properly and can sustain things after the war of attrition will, in my opinion, come out on top. "There won't be a lot of great football played in that hour. I watched them against Shamrock Rovers in the Setanta Cup and I don't think there will be a lot of attractive football in that 60 minutes, but then we'll see who can come out on top after that."

    I'm so glad Roddy decided not to make an issue of the pitch. That would be tedious.

    He should really only speak of his own team when talking about how attractive the football will be. I'm sure Stephen Kenny has a different game plan and intention regarding the quality of football his team will play.

    Worst in the World, deadly.

    We are missing Brennan and Bolger tonight but hopefully Fahey will start. I also hope tonight see's and end to Mark Quigley playing in our midfield 3.

    A win and a clean sheet would be lovely.
    Here on a technicality.

    Apparently we had an easier game against Pats as we won 4-1? Makes Tom the gom sound like a philosopher of football.

    Classic stuff from Roddy.

    I love this bit -
    "But it's going to be a war of attrition for the first hour and the side who are conditioned properly and can sustain things after the war of attrition will, in my opinion, come out on top.
    I put this into Roddyspeak on the old google translator and it spat back -

    "We're going kick the ****e out them and see if they can take it"

  9. Thanks From:

    Spoke to a few Derry fans at the weekend who reckon Sligo were the best team they played yet. They were saying Derrys goal was a freak wonder strike and Sligo were badly lacking up front or would have won the game easily.

    Saying that, they were very critical of Roddy for dropping Molloy and playing Enda Curran in midfield. Also he's trying hard to put his own stamp on the side, 7 of the starting 11 were player Roddy brought in.

    Another gem from Roddy:

    Collin said: "Don't even look at the table. The only table you look at is the kitchen table at home. "It's too early to look at the table. You look at the table with six games gone not now."

    I could have sworn that a while ago he was saying to wait for 10 games!

    I was at Sligo V Athlone and Sligo V pats in the SSC and they are playing good football and creating chances but not taking them. I expect them to turn it around.

    If Bray defend like they did against UCD, it could be a long night. Pat's should be too strong and Quigley normally plays well against us (especially up front).

    Dunno exactly what's happened but he's been worked on for 6 or 7 minutes now. Hopefully not as bad as it looks.
