[A face]

I have a horrible feeling about this one, fingers crossed we can keep the score down.

[Pablo Escobar]

I've never seen so much pessimism surrounding a home game of ours. It is well-founded and we are missing 2 fantastic midfielders and, basically, have no goal scorer, but City 9/2 in Turners Cross? That's pushing it. A good performance and a bit of luck and you'd never know what'll happen.

[dong]

Ye should be fine. Ye bought Daryl Horgan.

[CrowdedHouse]

Was thinking of going to Fahy's Field tonight to see the great Limerick FC...(if I do I wish to be recorded as an away supporter:p)

Just have a feeling the Rovers - Cork game could be a good one

If you do drop over to us. We'll give you a Supporters' Club membership form. :)

Grand so...I'll have a black overcoat and a discreet Galway United scarf

[dfx-]

I have a horrible feeling about this one, fingers crossed we can keep the score down.

As far as I remember, Rovers have scored more than one goal just once since the 2-2 draw in 93/94 and that was the last win in 2002.

I'd take the usual nervy-injurytime-holding-on-for-life-at-the-Shed-End 0-1 off Murray's backside in a shot.

Don't worry shams are crack at the moment

[theworm2345]

Cork City - Shamrock Rovers live on RTE, going to check it out...wasn't really enthralled by Drogheda - Rovers on the first day of the season so hopefully this is better.

[superfrank]

Why did Cork switch to their away jersey too? :confused:




(Finally, a jersey clash that doesn't involve ourselves :p)

The referee thought green and blue were too close. There may be a colour-blind player or official, it's hard to know.

[passerrby]

Mons 1 up

[passerrby]

1 1 all square

[Aaron]

Limerick 1 up

Gamble

[askmehoop]

Bray 1 up. Jason Byrne up to his old tricks

[theworm2345]

Oh my. Some very poor keeping there from this guy on loan from Spurs.

[peadar1987]

Cork's pitch 1 - 0 Shamrock Rovers

[askmehoop]

took an odd bounce apparently

[peadar1987]

took an odd bounce apparently

Yeah, took a nasty kick when it bounced just in front of Jansson. And the commentators have been singing the praises of the Turner's Cross pitch all game as well!

[askmehoop]

Pats down to 10. Dean Kelly sent off

[gufcfan]

Any idea who's playing for Longford tonight apart from Gillespie?

[superfrank]

Daniel Purdy just scored for them.

[Charlie Darwin]

Powell straight red for Rovers. Bizarre decision. It was a foul, nothing more.

[SwanVsDalton]

Powell straight red for Rovers. Bizarre decision. It was a foul, nothing more.

Yeah, yellow max. Purcell just got put clear after a blatant handball too. Great chance for Turner there.

I can see what the ref might've seen, from one of the angles it looked a horrible challenge that could've snapped his leg in half.

[SwanVsDalton]

Looked a bit nasty, but no follow through. Just a kick. Thought he was unlucky.

[DannyInvincible]

Shels 1-0 up against Derry.

[peadar1987]

I can see what the ref might've seen, from one of the angles it looked a horrible challenge that could've snapped his leg in half.

Yup, it was studs up, into the shin, but with zero momentum behind it. From the wrong angle it could look like he steamed in with a leg-breaker

[superfrank]

Ouch.

Not a fan of Cork City but that's really tough on them, they were defending really well and would've deserved the three points.

[theworm2345]

Looks like the Late Late Show started early. :o

[DannyInvincible]

Bejaysis, Twigg gets a headed equaliser four minutes into stoppage time at Turners Cross.

[peadar1987]

Gary Twigg! 1-1

[Spudulika]

Great 2nd half, but some very naive defending from Cork (and ball retention). Well done Cork City and the fans (and the Rovers crew), looked magnificent with half a dozen non-Irish enjoying it.

[askmehoop]

Sir Gary of Twigg. Happy with the draw tbh, always a tough place to go. lets hope other results go in our favour

[micls]

Absolutely gutted. Would have been delighted with a point beforehand though, strange game.

Thought we played excellently in the second half right up to the last minute, then we left Twigg on his own.

Ignoring the sick feeling, I think a good performance overall from us, show a lot of heart and put a few decent moves together. Plenty of work to do but we should take heart from the performance.

[Trainee]

Mervue 1 Limerick 1

[bullit]

Crowley sent of for Drogs. Still 0-0

[dfx-]

Felt eerily like the 1-1 draw at Dalymount last season. Goal from the last attack from a corner on the right too, a header into the far corner..a red card with 15 minutes to go and 1-0 down as well.

Twigg was awful amongst a few others, but you can never take him off :worship:

[Trainee]

2 - 1 Limerick

[bullit]

drogs down to 9,name to follow

[bullit]

eric foely off still 0-0

[gufc2000]

Longford 2-1 up

Athlone 2-0 up

Sligo 1-0 up

[Longfordian]

Gillespie sent off for Town. Both sides with 10 now. Still 1-2

[gufcfan]

Straight red for an elbow apparently.

[CrowdedHouse]

2 - 1 Limerick

.......and pretty dismal stuff it was too

[Jofspring]

Ya we where ****e tonight. We'll take it though.

[Longfordian]

Top of the league, 3 wins from 3. Can't remember the last time that happened, if ever. Martinho will be along soon enough to tell me I'm sure. Waterford next week is a big one already

[bingoballs]

Good stuff out of Neil Doyle, gettin shams out of a hole again!
