We seem to have lost the run of ourselves a bit with Europe and the Dublin Super Cup. Back to our own teams now for the lot of us :D

Bohemians - Shamrock Rovers
Bray Wanderers - Drogheda United
Galway United - Derry City
Cork City - Shelbourne
Waterford United - Limerick FC
Monaghan United - Athlone Town

[SwanVsDalton]

Here's hoping for a triple European hangover and City to take advantage.

[Kingdom]

I know it's a tangent, but it's bad to think that Dalymount has fallen that far behind - it should be a super compact stadium, pity it's got tatty.

[total hoofball]

That 45 minutes already indicates Shels have commenced their annual bottlefest. Some turnaround for Cork

[dfx-]

As expected, a horrible 4-5-1 rubbish defensive formation at Dalymount again tonight. In fairness though, Fenlon only bothered to change it to 4-4-2 after Twigg's winner :cool2:

More convincing win than the scoreline suggests, but Agent O'Brien came to the rescue again. Heroic efforts from him..

[Jofspring]

Limerick 2up, Behan again

[hoops1]

Handy win.Scoreline not a reflection of our dominance. 1-0 Flattered bohs.

[sadloserkid]

Our best centre back starting in midfield....quality stuff :eek:

Didn't happen. Cory Tracey was the latest defender pushed forward but he played fairly wide.


5 minutes added in the Limerick match.....where did that come from.

Lots of injuries and the likes. We held on fairly well for a finish.

[BonnieShels]

Just got online now in London. Feck Ye anyway.

Was just going by the extra time which had Purcell down as a midfielder.

I know Waterford where missing plenty also but to be missing Gamble, Frost, Judge, O'Flynn and O'Leary and get a result in a place we haven't won in a long time is a great result in my book. Delighted with that.

[Charlie Darwin]

Was Anto Flood injured or just not used? He was immense in the first game in Dalymount. Kept the Rovers defence occupied for 90 minutes on his own - Fagan didn't cause half as much trouble.

Bohs have some good young players. Add ex-Rover Downes to the Belvedere academy and you have the makings of a good team, if only Nutsy would trust them ahead of senior loafers like O'Brien and Bayley.

[MariborKev]

City barely had to get out of second gear last night. Frightingly easy.

[pineapple stu]

On the game, Rovers deserved to win alright, but they must be the most one-dimensional team I have ever seen. In the second half, practically everything went down the left wing, and they didn't even get that much change out of that. Twigg once tried to run to the right, and fell over just as he entered the right hand side of the pitch. Finn (who I was keeping a half-eye on out of UCD bias) was completely unused again, same as last Tuesday. But I suppose being one-dimensional is one thing; doing something about it is another.

Any plans to resurrect the Brandy Blogs Kev?

The subject matter appeared to upset the manager at times.

Time doesn't really allow me , what with the commentary etc and getting stuff for programme done.

Cork destroyed Shels at the back last night. Shels were bad - an appalling display of ineptitude in defence and midfield - their passing was awful and I hate to name names, but holy Jaysus, Colly James, what was that? Played like they'd never actually been in the same team before. A 9.2 magnitude implosion.
Cork ran riot in the end.

[poster]

What's the story with Gary McCabe? Noticed last night Karl Moore took his number 7.

Picked up a knock against Copenhagen. Should be back next week.

So who's goal was this?

Finn is playing in the wrong team. Oh and PS, why are you talking about football? Don't you know this is the "you're a racist, you're a racist, you're a racist!" thread?

[horton]

It's nice to see Derry top of the table (even if it's brief) for a change.:cool:

Missing three of our back four and our first choice strikers, but that probably still wouldn't have made a difference. Limerick deserved the win even if ye almost let us sneak back in for a point. It was a decade since your last win in the RSC. The signings made a huge difference. Gaffney's cross and Behan's header for the opening goal were quality. Couldn't begrudge a few luxury signings to Limerick after your years in the doldrums.

[El-Pietro]

can this crap start getting moved to the bohs/rovers sections?

stop detracting from our 4-1 hammering of Shelbourne!!!

Shels looked very dangerous in the first 20 mins and could have scored more in that period. After that it was all City. Played them off the park.

By the way, to the Sligo Rovers fans, Daryl Horgan is class. Can we keep him please????
