Showground looks great when the tv gantry is on the other side. Could this be made permanent?

Nice of Con to congratulate the people at St Pats for Sligo's european programme!
Well done to Pat's on the production of Sligo's Euro programme..:D

The lads go to the trouble of puting up a gantry but yet the cameraman decides to still go to the red stand. Surely a stand that usually is full or looks full will look better on tv ?

Is the Cup draw not supposed to be tonight?

Watching with an English football fan who's never seen MNS before. Karaoke King was rather embarrassing. I'm hoping for a good GOTM competition and a gaffe-free Roddy interview.

The Vllaznia sub keeper didnt make much of an effort to keep out the penalty :rolleyes:

If he's seen Soccer AM then he's pretty much seen MNS. Same irrelevent nonsense in both and in fairness given the league recently, if Kareoke king is the most embarrassing thing MNS can show/say then we're doing well.

:D As bad as some of the programme is they still produce some nuggets of comedy gold.
Even Mrs Ash, who wouldnt watch a game if it was in our back garden, picked
up on Pats being congratulated for Sligos european programme :o

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...

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.

Drogheda lost 2-1 at home to Dynamo Kiev last year and were a kick away from knocking them out. Sligo still have a great chance.

well drogheda were a much better outfit last year in fairness, very tough to crack. didnt concede to many silly goals.

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!

Didnt get to see the highlights iof the game on MNS, but from where I was perched on Thursday heres what I saw of those incodents
Celebrations for the 1st goal

They appealed the 1st peno ...

Peno came off the bar and from what Im told it was the 1st peno Keane hit high all season

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.

I had a mate following the in-running too. Vllaznia were still an incredible 1/6 to win the game when they went 2-0 up with 15 minutes to go. Something was definitely amiss.

It's not likely at all, and with 15 minutes to go you'd expect it to be 1/20, not 1/6!

They better not be spending 5 minutes every week talking to Roddy Collins about the state of Maltese football. If I was a first division fan watching the love in with that gombeen when they never get any coverage I'd be very annoyed

I have a feeling RTE will do some mini documentary similar to the one when Roddy was in charge of Carlisle United.
