i try to be factual why dont you give it a go .

Except it's laced with opinion...the main default being that Sligo are contenders. You become contenders by getting results, not getting results by being contenders

Can't really say that after 3 games. If there is another contender to the title this year, other than Shamrock Rovers, it is Sligo Rovers.

sorry i beleive i said supposed contenders . this is not my opinion but is a fact backed up by the bookies no less ." laced with opinion",
please feel free to point it out . Rovers were expected by most to win the game . To do this they would have to score a goal . WTF is your problem if I want to criticise my teams lack of ability to score a goal . I made a statement that it not a good sign for us if we cant even score a goal against a team that had conceded 2.5 goals per game up til then . Sligo Rovers were tipped by most if not all as the closest chalangers to shams for the league . They have so far not lived up to that . Good result in Derry even if lucky (thats how you win leagues) , bad loss in Sligo against shams and a team to chalange for honours would have come out after that and (while facing one of the SUPPOSED weaker teams got all 3 points . Saying bray played better only supports my point of Rovers not being good enough . Last week it was said well it was shams and they are SUPPOSED to win the league so what now bray are to be second . We have not scored goals and have not even looked like we could . This is my problem with our team . I DONT BEGRUDGE BRAY ANYTHING . I would have expected rovers to have taken at least 7 of the 9 points from the 3 games after shams but the draw would have been DROGS not bray , now i see them losing the next 2 . I hope to be wrong . It appears that BOHS are the only contenders but dfx that is only my opinion .

[mypost]

Jesus what a complete ****. Your team has a slow start to the season and already your coming up with crap like this. you had a poor night and Bray worked their socks off and got a well deserved point, and dont presume when you play BRAY, GALWAY, or DROGS that you only have to turn up to get the points,it dont work like that.

Now you know what we put up with every time we beat them.

Contenders? What Contenders? Miles off the pace already. I'm sure though they have a Cup or two to fight for, to keep them busy.

what exactl, me complaining about my team?

The 5 points wouldnt be a worry MP its our lack of goals im concerned about so while I agree were not contenders the cup or two comment is pretty unnecessary . Still its what you have to put up with that matters , right .

[OneForTheFuture]

So after 3 games you are writing them off.....

Don't open a bookies!

[SkStu]

exactly. Rovers were miles off the pace after 5 games last season and ended up winning it but, then again, arrogance causes blindness...

there are other things that Rovers fans are synonymous with that also apparently cause blindness... ;)

mypost is my hero. :kissed:

[harleyleeds]

jesus harley chill the beanos if football was as predictable as you imply it should be it would be a sorry sport .dont come over all shams expecting people to tug their forlock when you play them, the result says to me that the gap is not as big as in some peoples minds


OK where did I say we should beat them or any such thing . For the love of god read what I said . We can not seem to score goals and if you cant score against the team that has let in more than anyone else bar one your in trouble . What the f**k is wrong there . What is not true there . Oh yes btw football is very predictable if you can't score . Im upset that MY team isn't scoring and I said so why the F**k are you and the space cadet , I mean rocket feeling so bothered . I see nothing wrong with me expecting to beat bray either , in fact the majority on here thought they would . I now however have great concerns about us staying up due to the fact that we CANT SCORE .THIS SEEMS LOGICAL TO ME . perhaps you can enlighten me without insulting me .

[mypost]

The Linfield fans popped into the Windsor Bar for a Harp after the last match.

You wouldn't know much about pubs in Dundalk. ;)

Understandably.

Went to Dundalk a couple of years ago, on a bank holiday. Later looked for a bite to eat in the town in the early evening. Trying to get one in a pub was an unexpected issue, as none of them served food after 6pm. With the best only option fast food stuff available, I headed back early. I doubt much has changed since.

[redobit]

Relax your head harley. The season has just started, we have played 3 games and conceded only one goal (which was a gift) against three decent teams. We might not be scoring but were creating good chances, give it time instead of ranting from New York about games that you havent even seen.

[Rasputin]

Thats your witty retort? am i wrong about bray ? about galway? If you want to call me disrespectful to bray at least back it up with something other than they defended well . easy to defend well against a rubbish attack . we have scoared 1 goal in 3 games and your concern is that im dissing bray , take the log out of your own eye first please .
There is no easy way to say this but you are turning into our equivilant of Mypost.
Its not nearly as comical when its one of our own fans coming out with that drivel.

[passerrby]

in throught the nose out throiugh the mouth breath deeply....I suspect it is beyond my ability to enlighten you

You shouldnt be so quick to assume I havent seen them RED . I also have friends who go to the games . I am concerned at our lack of ability to score and neither you or anyone else has addressed that other than to insult,slight or slag me off but not a bit of football talk out of any of ye . If you think that its ok that we cant score then thats ok but if I dont agree then surely thats allowed too ? Please dont have the cheek to bring up my location in the world as a slag as Im pretty sure I would have been in the Showgrounds long before you were aware of where they were . My son made his first visit at 4 weeks old . Support your team ,love your team and voice your opinions , thats how it is supposed to be . To Rasputin OUR LACK OF GOALS SHOULD BE YOUR CONCERN NOT MY DRIVEL . Also if my concern for my team is drivel to you I'd say you would be more of an embarressment to our club than me .

I never insulted you harley all Im saying is that the season is young, we are notorioulsy bad starters and the season is long. Give it time. I did addreess our goal scoring abilities - we are creating chances which is important, it will come. (Another night against Shams if our chances went in we could have beat them by 3 goals).

Have you seen the games this season or not? If you havent your opinon is watered down, no matter what anyone tells you.

And what your son or how long you have been in the Showgrounds has got to do it, well I dont know.

Jeez lads take it to pms. At the moment I'd be more worried about our mid field I didn't see to much to inspire against Bray.

There is no point in you two fighting with each other. What you need to do is turn your frustration and anger on the players. Let them know how you feel. They are the ones causing the mess.

[passerrby]

ignore him he is just trying to defect that blame away from where it should be at the doorstep of shamrock rovers , i dont know how but they are always at fault it must be them and maybe the fai.

That would be a quite rational attitude if it wasnt that your early season form last year had a big hand in you not winning the league. Understandibly the first few games this season would come under the microscope especially amounst your own support.

[El-Pietro]

i think ye are giving harley a rough time here

all hes said is the fact that Sligo havent been scoring is worrying. It should be.

City are top of the league (game played more) but we've only scored 1 goal a game and we've only played one top half team so far. I'm extremely worried about where our goals are coming from. Teams like Sligo should be expected to win by a goal or two against Bray, similarly we should be winning by a goal or two against Mervue and Wexford.

Neither team did, thats not the end of the world. These things happen, but its still a worrying sign and improvements will be needed if either team are to achieve their goals for the season

[dfx-]

Sligo not scoring is only worrying if they are creating the chances to score and putting in the performances. Bar the last 10 minute panic, they didn't trouble Rovers very much, especially second half and by all accounts they didn't trouble Derry or Bray too much either in general play.

Doesn't bother me obviously, long may it continue :cool2:

You may want to watch MNS again.
Against Shams and Bray we had a hell of alot of chances without ever playing to our pontential.
The fact that Mannus was your man of the match against us says it all.

Wouldn't go on MNS highlights, especially for the Derry game.

[avvenalaf]

Agree. We were poxed to take any points out of Derry.

[Rasputin]

Yup we were lucky to get 3 points out of Derry and unlucky not to get something from Shams and some glaring misses to get the 3 points out of Bray.

Contenders? What Contenders? Miles off the pace already. I'm sure though they have a Cup or two to fight for, to keep them busy.

Whoops! A win for Sligo tonight and its all even on points.

[mypost]

We'll still be top with a massive goal difference.

A goal difference in comparison to the mere 5 minute flight between Sligo and Dublin.

[Rasputin]

We'll still be top with a massive goal difference.
I would follow you to hell and back mypost, hero.
