In the circunstances with us now back on top I think the atmosphere will be electric. I think the 'stand fans' will join in with the 'shed heads' to make this a night to be remembered.
Pat's are not having a great season and we are now full of confidence. This is our opportunity to signal our return to the top and I think we will send out a message and make the eircom league sit up and take notice.
My prediction is Rovers 1 St. Pats 0.

well it should be... St. Pats are one of those teams we are currently aspiring to be playing against week after week. Its been awhile since we've had a game such as this in the Showgrounds and the magic of the cup should give it that extra spice. This is not a pre-season friendly and Rovers fans have always loved their cup football.
I hope that Sean puts out our strongest team though and does not take it as an opportunity to rest key players with promotion in mind.

i think ye are being very optimistic.pats are not having a great season but they haven't suddenly turned into a bad team and are still one of the biggest names in irish soccer.let's not get carried away.remember how hopeful we were when longford came to town and look what happened.i don't agree with the person who said we'll win after a replay.if we are going to do it it will be at the showgies.i think if we have to go up to dublin for a replay we could be in trouble.having said all that though it is still a winable game,but let's just keep our feet on the ground.

When its the cup and us anything can happen, anything.
we're expecting a very tough game lads - our form is far too erratic to be confident about this - drew 1-1 and outclass Derry one week, lose 1-0 and look sh:t against longford the next - doubt if there will be much diff in class

like sligoman said,nobody said we could beat Shelbourne in the Cup,espically in Dublin and looked what happened then.....

us to win 1-0. a draw and replay wouldnt be ideal as the league is most important and we cant afford to drop points coming off a midweek replay. mct to score.

22/08/2005, 4:13 PM
0 0 if we play the u21s or a 2 1 win if Sean puts out a full team.

we have to be realistic here lads. my opinion if we play above ourselves we could sneak it. faz will be key player hear if he can create space with his darting runs and hold the ball (not loose it) we can create more chances. midfield will also have to be strong. brown could cause them trouble used as a foil for mct. looking forward to game and if we create the right atmosphere we can certainly do it. get the samba band out gary and fill the shed . best of luck to the lads.

We'll sneak it 1-0!! Feeney to score(if he plays)
What do ye think the team should be??? :confused:

What do ye think the team should be??? :confused:Our strongest 11 where possible. No fringe players or reserve players in my opinion. We have to take it serious.
1-1...faz

I'd expect to see the biggest crowd of the season at this one. What worries me is that in recent times Rovers teams freeze on the big occasions especially at home. I suppose we go into it as underdogs us being the first division outfit and all. Pats are not the team they were though saying that they are still a very good side. I haven't been speaking with any of the players so I don't know what frame of mind they are in or how we are approaching this game. Is the league our main objective? I would like to think so although on saying that I'd still expect the team to give their all in the cup.
What kind of side will Sean put out? That will be the deciding factor for us. A strong eleven and we'll be in with a shout. I firmly believe that we have the footballers that can get the ball down and go at teams. In the first division it's nigh impossible to do this, against Pat's it will be much different as they are a footballing side so I'd expect to see a good game of football which will be a welcome change from what we have become accustomed to.
Bring it on and let's hope the lads do us proud, win lose or draw.

Definitely a big crowd for the game and hopefully a great atmosphere.

I think Pats will have a good crowd heading down, I was chatting to a few people up here (dublin) who will be making the trip, although there are a few more now not going down as dublin are playing at the weekend
Gaa smaa...
where do away fans go now?
last time i was there the new stand wasnt built - do we just head to the end behind the goal?
its a pity the dubs match is on as it is distracting from this "tie of the round" - stupid summer soccer!
not that ive any interest myself in gaa but some deffo wont travel as they are goin to Croker!
the official pats forum is here if yis wanna chk out the pats view of this tie - http://saints.myfreebb.com/index.php

You can sit in the old stand on the upper end away from the entrance and behind the goal on that end.
Sometimes some away fans go into the new stand.

In other words,Pats fans can sit in the 'Blue Stand'.
what about that open terrace behind one of teh goals - the place we were last time - unless its raining we'll proll go there
wot sort a crowd u expecting?
SRFC Head
24/08/2005, 10:44 AM
I'd hope to see 2500... am I expecting too much ?
Open Terrece behind goal isn't a problem at all.

Ya i think you are.2000 would be the most we will get i think.
When they say open terrece behind the goal i hope they mean the railway end because if it was the shed end they might be a bit too close for comfort...
railway end is teh one im on about
is the shed thing still there?

People seem to forget that he scored against Cobh in the Showgies. It wasn't credited to him but it was obvious that he hit it into the net:).

Lads yer Daft, concentrate on the league one or two serious injuries Saturday night & we could be in the 1st division again next year. Look at the bigger picture :ball: This is our year for the league not the cup; we don’t have enough dept in the squad to risk injuries to Key Players. Concentrate on the league, the Cups a bonus! Only new to this craic, still trying to catch on.

Hopfully this will bring back some of the fair weather supporters to the all important push for promotion.
