I thought we were worse in midfield in the second half when O'Grady came on. They threw everything at us and Brush saved our asses. We missed Cretaro as he had been doing well. Fair play to him, he keeps producing the goods.
The linesman on our side was shocking. The ref was poor as well. He was very keen to dish out yellow cards to our team. Peers' card was very debatable, Parkhouse got one for nothing unless he said something. Fingal got away with a couple of dodgy ones. Wasn't a dirty game or anything.
Parkhouse did well. Nice touches and good strength on the ball. If he keeps improving I'll just have to revise my opinion on him - again!
Fickle doesn't even come close to describing it.:D

Congrats on the win lads. Felt it was an even enough game. Pity we where missing so many of our first team( 5 or 6 players). We have a fair few injuries at the mo. I would have liked to have seen how our first 11 would do against top flight opposition. Best of luck in the next round.

Even enough game, lucky to get through really. Brush made some great saves and Parkhouse has been improving lately, which is great to see. Hopefully he keeps it going.

Semi-Final:)

Best game from holmes and parky yet imo. Parkhouse is exactly what we needed. An alright rovers crowd. Fingal were all over towards us at the end and had 5 chances wiith Brush doing well. Rommy has been very good recently aswell. Not the best of performaces but we're into a semi so who cares!

Great result last night and i thought we deserved it, should have killed off the game on about 4 occassions after we had taken the lead. The goal was a massive confidence boost and for a spell in the second half i thought we played some good stuff when we created 3 or 4 good chances. Cretaro was really brave for the goal and took a boot to the head and had to be taken off at the half with the injury he picked up.

Richi Ryan shaded my man of the match i thought he fought a lone battle at times in the middle and in the second half tracked back to deny a Fingal player what would have been a certain goal. Parkhouse and Peers were both excellent with Holmes playing well as well and Steve Feeney having a decent game at centre back. We opened them up at times which was good to see somethig we have not being doing to teams of late.

The only thing i seen that i did not like was Boco playing in the centre of midfield, he aint a centre of midfield player he is better deployed elsewhere imo. He is a quality footballer and beter playing him a position that suits. To be Fingal would not look out of place in the premier and played some good ball and up until we scored give us some real concerns.

Anyway roll on the semi final and the Galway we need to beat these in the Connacht derby this weekend, as i think there are signs that we may be starting to click :)

Edit: The penalty that was given against was very soft , linesman give it even though the ref had a perfect view of it and was right in front and closer than the linesman. The officials and i thought esp the lines the far side were the worst i have seen at a match in a while. The inesman the far (Ohe one lino give the pen) was the worst i have ever saw, they looked out of their depth.

A home tie against UCD would probably be the best draw for us but any one of them will be tough at this stage!

Rovers played with strong wind in first half, wind seemed to die in second half but sheet rain most of the match. We were much better in the second half as we tended to overhit the ball with the wind in the first half. Thought Brush's penalty was very good as he needed a very strong arm to put the ball over, never a penalty, referee was in great position but only blew when the hopeless linesman went mad with his flag. I suppose we have to live with the officials that are been dished up, can you imagine the uproar there would be if we had four officials doing a Sligo v Shams match in the Showgrounds and them all from Sligo . We will always have this problem. Fair play the rovers for working hard right up to the end, Cretaro was taken off after the injury just on half time but seemed none the worst of it when he came into the stand.

With 1/3 of the population from Dublin, it'd be hard to not get Dublin officials. They are highly unlikely to support SF anyway.

Parkhouse was magnificent second half, he is improving.

Easy up Rory... lets not lose the run of ourselves....

Anybody at home.Ideally waterford but we're capable of beating anybody in the showgrounds,including bohs.

This is shaping up nicely Shams knocked out last night and the semis ain't till August,looking like Bohs will have to offload a load of players/bar staff in the window similar to what us and Galway diod last year so expect they will be a lot weaker then also.

well done anyone who won a few pound it was a decent bet as most home teams last day of the season want to sign off on a win for the fans plus bolton and portsmouth had nothing to play for. will get around to collecting my winnings today had a few on the ponies yesterday so has been a good weekend for me
