Wasn't really attacked, just when he went over to shake hands with Byrne, a bohs fan pushed him away and I think he made a gesture towards him. Stupidity rather than an attack.

Very little mention of the fact that they failed to beat Galway which still gave them a mountain to climb for next friday had it gone down to that.

Michael O'Neill was right, I can't understand why Sligo fans were so incensed with him. ****ed off with the referee, of course. But ****ed off at O'Neill? What did you want him to do, tell his players not to take the corner kick? And he's right, it's not like the ref gave a goal for the bad decision, he only gave a corner which Sligo had the chance to defend. I'd be ****ed off if it went against us, but blaming an opposition manager is ridiculous when your gripe is with the referee, especially when it's not like it was something as obvious as mistaken identity or that.

Sligo's approach tonight was extremely dissapointing and unprofessional of them. Reminded me of that time Rafa Benitez played his reserves against Fulham, meaning a terrible, terrible Fulham team won and stayed in the league. Sligo owed Shamrock Rovers nothing, but did owe something to the integrity of the league. For what its worth I hope we don't retaliate and do go out to beat Pats despite having nothing to play for next week.

Top of the league with 4 games to go. Lose and draw at home yet it's our fault ye lost the league. We played our full team in the cup quarter final and I still don't know how we got a draw. Best team won the league. Best footballing team by a country mile

If we spent shelled out the amount of money they did, we'd be the best footballing team in the country as well. It's not hard to be that, when you have the league's best players at your disposal.

Even so, we've managed to bring the title to the penultimate night of the season, so what we lack in flair, we made up for in consistency.

Strand Celtic would have put up a better first half performance than we did last night! We have a team of professional players and to be outclassed the way we were was sickening, regardless of players being rested for whatever reason. We are better than that and thats what really gauls me. We were so poor in the first half it looked like we were going to loose our goal difference advantage by the time the night was over.
We have the rest of the winter to sink pints and slap each other on the backs and reminisce on what a great season we had. Until the final whistle of the final game is blown nothing should be taken for granted. We are supposed to be a professional side and should show a little professionalism for Gods sakes. Stories of players on the beer THREE days aftert the cup semi final really disturbs me.

Need to support the bit o red no matter what and trust the manager.Lets keep behind the team and Paul Cook 100%.I am sure both he and the team recognise when things go wrong as they will from time to time.Now lets move on and focus on winning our remaining games icluding the Cup final.

Comon lads keep the heads up.
There are enough people out there (barstoolers, layabouts around town, The FAI) lining up ready to knock Rovers and keep them down without us adding to it, especialy when we are on the verge of something great.
Last night was disapointing, it was a risk that didnt work out.
The highs and lows of following Rovers.
Keep the faith.

Simple fact is it is all pointing to Bohs breaching the 65% rule so if I were Shams I would be getting my case together for the protest and courts if they want to go that far. Everyone plays by the rules or nobody does.

The prizemoney for winning the league will mean that Bohs are compliant with the 65% rule come the end of the season.
That's what they believe anyways and to be honest I can't see them being penalised by the FAI.

Most people were not annoyed about his comments regarding the corner insident - in fact he was the only one who confirmed that it was a goal kick- it was the overall tone of his comments after the match as he refused to acknowledge that Sligo Rovers were hard done by or deserved something from the game and his moaning that we were over physical. he seemed to be very annoyed that we did not stand back and allow the Shams players to do what they wanted to with the ball.

As Paul Cook stated on MNS last night his one and only responsibility is to Sligo Rovers F.C. and the people who pay his wages. He also reminded people of the team he put out for our second away match in Tallagh - not too much complaints from Shams fans that night

Agree , what more do shams want we gifted them 12 points this season and took 5 off bohs its not our fault they bottled it bigtime against cork and galway in their rented ground.

Going back to friday night we are absolutley brutal without peers at the back , richie ryan in centre of midfield does not work anymore either I assume Cook copped onto this also and this is why he hauled him off at halftime worried about our options in the cup final now if O'Grady is suspended.

Bad team selection, the book stops with Cook here. No excuse for playing Camano ahead of Peers for instance, unless Peers is genuinely badly injured
I dont want to hear about the ****ing cup, what good is that if we are playing 1st division football next year?

Cook made the right decision. We were never going to beat that Bohs team. They were quality and wanted it more than any team we could have put out. Now we have a full team of rested players for Drogs on Friday, we win that and we are safe, simples!!
That is absolute bull**** and the attitude that seems to be common among the people supporting the theory that Cook was right.
How can anyone say that we were never going to beat that Bohs team, who are they, Man Utd??
They are 11 players, playing in the same league as us, we have had some great results against them this season iv seen them many times this season and know that we could have got a result if we went with the right attitude. To do that you need the manager naming the strongest possible team, that game was last Friday, the next game is this Friday, how many ****ing days do professional layers need to 'rest' ?????? Absolutely terrible if they need the guts of 2 weeks.

The last time i remember, the league is the bread and butter of any clubs season, anywhere in the world. The cup isnt for a month and it will be a sorry wait if we have to go into playoffs or have extra games.

All i hear about is the cup this and the cup that, if we dont get a win on Friday night, **** the cup. Theres more pressure on the club now for Friday night because we didnt get anything from the Bohs game

Had we gone up there, with the right attitude, tactics and personel we could have got a result. Even a point, that would have had us still ahead of Galway at the worst of times, meaning we would be a point ahead of Pats and level but ahead of Galway, leaving us in a great position.

We may not have got anything, but there was one way about insuring we didnt and Cook made sure of that.

i think people saying we wouldnt have beaten bohs with a full team is crap. we've beaten them twice and drawn with them twice (90mins league cup game) in dalymount aswell this season already. i think if peersy had have been there friday night then the two first goals may not have been scored. no point dwelling on it now, we're good enough to win friday

he's the manager, he calls the shots, we need to get over it and get behind them friday

Correct me if I'm wrong but if Peers or Raf played against Bohs and got a yellow card, they would have been out of the final.

Please don't bring englinsh football into this!!
That bohs team was ten times the team we played ealier on in the season. They controlled the game from start to finish ans played lovely one touch football at times. We had 5 in midfield and they still ran rings around us. They would have done the same to any team we put out.

To do that you need the manager naming the strongest possible team, that game was last Friday, the next game is this Friday, how many ****ing days do professional layers need to 'rest' ?????? Absolutely terrible if they need the guts of 2 weeks.
and what if we Peers, Raf, Blinkhorn etc. all picked up injuries and missed the drogs game? we'd be rightly ****ed then and people would be slating Cook for playing them.
Yes they're professionals but they are also human and its been a long season playing in 4 competitions, they're bound to start feeling it now.

The last time i remember, the league is the bread and butter of any clubs season, anywhere in the world. The cup isnt for a month and it will be a sorry wait if we have to go into playoffs or have extra games.

Where did I mention the Cup? I'm more worried about having all players fit for the game we must win against Drogs to stay up, as I hav previously stated.

We may not have got anything, but there was one way about insuring we didnt and Cook made sure of that.
But he has made sure that all of our key players are fit and ready for Friday, which is now the most important game of the season and is alot more winnable than Bohs away ever was.

I would love to see Morrison play in the centre of midfield. His vision and ability to pick out a pass are second to none. Maybe put Ventre beside him to provide cover for the back 4.

So if we were playing that Bohs team in the cup final we shouldn't really bother turnin up?

We are fighting a relegation battle. One would have expected that we would have played our best team. We would have drawn and still be above Galway if we'd played our best 11. Certainly the lads who drove up from Sligo would have been expecting our strongest team to be fielded. I live on the northside so I wasn't overly put out. Not playing your best team against strong opposition in the midst of a relegation battle is baffling. If we'd won we'd be safe now and could have rested everybody for Friday and it's nearer the cup final.

Totally agree avvenalaf the amount of people complaining if Peers had been booked or Raf or somebody else had got injured, then you'd hear all the why did he play them !

Cook could not have won with the fans last friday with whatever the team that went out, but it was the sensible thing to do as he knows his players best. People who traveled still had a team to support, they just played poorly against the best team in the league.

Have to agree with Cooks team selection against bohs as seen on friday we can't afford to be without peers/raf/kelly for the cup final , before the games on friday Pats needed 4 points to finsih above us few would of thought they would of got anything in Drogheda but they did and coupled with Shams bottling it bigtime against galway we can expect pats to get another 3 points this friday so we have to beat drogs to avoid a playoff , worst case scenario I don't think the playoffs would be a bad thing as it will free up suspensions and as fingal are going to be involved in the playoffs and therefore will be a lot match sharper for the final we as we could be sitting around for a few weeks.
