Was reminded tonight, depends on Bohs, and how their CL campaign goes.

[sligoman]

Was reminded tonight, depends on Bohs, and how their CL campaign goes.Obviously yes.

If Bohs go through, the 2nd leg of next round in CL is 4th/5th August and therefore our game would be re-scheduled.

[Rovers1]

Obviously yes.
.

Yeah.

[sligofan4ever]

Any chance of it being on Setanta Ireland ? I remember them covering the Final last year, not sure about the semi-finals though.

[rovers100%]

so lads what do we expect now? after pats i thought we had it cracked and on the way up but i said as i sat in stands last nite lose here and we wont beat bohs.............. well slept on it and maybe not as optimistic but tho we never were god enough to beat galway i dont believe we were poor enough to lose either. monday someone is gonna have to step up to the plate and become the leader on the pitch !!! we need a general out there to keep the lads organised, concentrated and confident. i still believe we can win it as any player worth their salt will wanna play in the final and if the lads turn it on we are capable of winning

After last night's 'performance' I wouldn't even expect us to win the toss in this one.
Damage limitation ........... only hope Brushie is in his usual great form as he's going to be very busy.

rovers to win 1 nil

[celticV3]

We never usually play great in Terryland so last night doesn't faze my optimism. Just hope the lads put a bit of heart into the display, at the end of the match if they do that and are outclassed can't really complain.

If the match is a draw is there a replay?

[rovers100%]

think penalties but i cud be wrong

[sligoman]

If the match is a draw is there a replay?No, extra time & penalties. I'm confident Bohs will have finished us long before it gets to that.

[rovers100%]

ah come on sligoman think positive, anything can happen

[sligofan4ever]

I think we can beat Bohs, there just has to be optimism and belief amongst the players now. They need to know this is the closest we've come to silverware in a long time (well 4 years) if they put in a performance like they did against Cork City in the FAI Cup then we should be very optimistic. They need to remember they held Bohs to a 0-0 draw with both teams having thier strongest teams out, and we beat Derry City the week before. If we make it the Final could it be held in Sligo ? or if you UCD go through would the FAI try to keep it in Dublin :(. No reason we cant get, Wexford got the final at thier ground. We;ve got the right size ground,in good shape and what better way to attract out the town than a Cup Final ?

[Well Red]

ah come on sligoman think positive,
anything can happen
If I was a betting man I would not bet on anything that Rovers might do even though my heart bleeds for them to put the smile back on our faces.

[bigredtruck]

No, extra time & penalties. I'm confident Bohs will have finished us long before it gets to that.

now thats just the attitude i like to see goin into a cup semi final, would you like to give the team talk before the game?

[red arrow]

rovers to win 1 nil

[Da Real Rover]

A comfortable win for Bohs with some "heart" by Rovers but lets face it thats never enough when you face a team like Bohs.

[rovers100%]

lads we should have beaten bohs at home and they were very mediocre in dalymount, alot is been made out of the defeat against the crusties but we were all overconfident after pats, the game against pats we had 3 debutants gelling into the team but pats were brutal. we came up against an organised galway who were no better than us and tho we were never good enuf to win we should have drawn. the lads have now had 2 games to gel and its a SEMI FINAL...............if the players dont up their performance for a chance of a trophy they are not worth havin. monday will tell us a lot about who is up for the fight and who is a passsenger. monday for me is the bigest game of season we will see a lot of true colours and then we can evaluate, until then lets be confident. cork match has to be a sign this year the cup favours us

[Rovers Maniac]

For some reason i actually think we may sneak this :). I can't see Bohs playing a full strength side with a big league game v Cork on Friday. Some of their players have had a tough couple of weeks and i think seem a little jaded as Drogs had a fair few players missing the other night and nearly beat them. Going for 1-0 or 2-1 us :)

[Rory H]

We have to forget what happened in Terryland. Cook should get a performance out of them and if we play well, and bohs don't, then we have a chance.

Cash and Camano for McGrath and Doyle?

[rovers100%]

can camano play midfield, young marshall maybe out the left. i know he is right footed but so is doyle. i have to say doyle does nothing for me even after his wonder goal i said he does not do enough and never closes down. as for mcgrath i dont thik he is bad. wins a lot of header,very composed on ball and puts a boot in every now and again. has anyone notced conor not really getting the tackles in. fair enough does a lot of closing down and covering but we dont have a real enforcer in midfield. maybe ventre could do a job there we know he loves a tackle !!!!!!!!!!!

Trust me we'll be putting out a full strength team as this is a semi-final and with 40k for the winner of the tournament we need ever penny we can get. 2-0 to Bohs.

[karlalb10n]

Good luck to the Rovers

[sligofan4ever]

I know, i'd love to see us win on penalties, but I hope it dosent go that far in the game with our luck in penalties.

[rovers100%]

is keane still our peno taker or is one of the new lads taking over duty. surely outta 8 signings we gotta have 2 at least who can take a penalty

[dublinred]

Yeah heard bohs need the win badly to get their expenditure back within the 65% cap and stay up at the end of the season going to make it tougher for us but overdue a win at dalyer.

[sligofan4ever]

Hopefully Peers will pass fit tonight, he was one of the main reason's we got that 0-0 draw with Bohs this season, I remember he took down Byrne in the box when he was certian to score, havent seen any of our other centre back's do that yet.

[Rovers Maniac]

We should bring another decent crowd with us this evening !?

[sligofan4ever]

Anyone know if theres a live stream or full coverage on any radio stations for tinights game ?

[avvenalaf]

Inspired by what Kerry did to the Dubs today, I predict a seven nil win for Rovers.

[red bellied]

Cash, Camano and Turner all start. Ventre in midfield.
