Prediction for the Sligo game

[Derek]

I am afraid to say, I will go with a 2:1 win for us but maybe it's only because we cannot afford to lose this one. If we lose it then the second spot may not even be secure.

I hope that does not sound too downbeat but I don't want to come back on Sunday to a load of crap.

[Ringo]

We must win. if we lose, its Sligo's, simple as that. One would have to doubt on our present form that we could win this match , let alone the league.

[sligoman]

One would have to doubt on our present form that we could win this match , let alone the league.Present form? Your joking right :confused:.

Dublin's last 6 games:
Galway United at home, 2-0 loss.
Limerick away, 2-1 loss.
Cobh Ramblers at home, 1-0 loss.
Monaghan away, 1-1 draw.
Athlone Town at home, 1-0 win.
Kilkenny City at home, 2-2 draw.
----------
Total:3 defeats, 2 draws and 1 win.

Sligo Rovers last 6 games:
Galway United away, 1-1 draw.
Limerick FC at home, 1-1 draw.
Cobh Ramblers away, 2-0 win.
Monaghan United at home, 2-0 win.
Athlone Town away, 0-0 draw.
Kilkenny City at home, 2-0 win,
-----------
Total:0 defeats, 3 draws and 3 wins

Compare the two and tell me how are ye on good form at the moment? :confused:

[gustavo]

sorry to break it to you sligoman but he said one would have to doubt whether they could win it based on present form!

[Ringo]

that's pathetic from CHF. i think it'll take some sort of fu*k up(i.e. dundalk mcnamara) from us or ref(i.e. any rovers match duddy has done) for us not to win

[sligoman]

sorry to break it to you sligoman but he said one would have to doubt whether they could win it based on present form!Whoops! :o :o, read it too quickly I suppose :D

[Ringo]

Whoops! :o :o, read it too quickly I suppose :D
At the end of the day, the best will win & Sligo appear to be the best team at the moment.

[Rory H]

stop playing it down..ye have beaten us before..ye can do it... :rolleyes:

[Rambler1]

They are going to do ye and were going to pass ye out.....cmon the Rams

[The Stars]

I am so confident about this one that only a disaster like what Red4Eva said,sending off or something could stop us from winning this one comfortably.
I also think we will keep a clean sheet.

[dublinred]

Dire 0 0 draw

[Maynard]

Keely has to get this one very right indeed. I'm travelling expecting nothing to be honest. 2-0 Sligo. Doesn't mean I won't get behind the team though.

[The Stars]

ah ya the more Dub fans that come down the better for the atmosphere.
Ye will be going home in the knowledge that ye only have second spot to play for though.

[Rebal Boy]

I'm saying 2-0 to Sligo. Rams to pass out Dublin City by beating Kildare County.

[sligoman]

I'm saying 2-0 to Sligo. Rams to pass out Dublin City by beating Kildare County.Thought you wanted us to draw? :confused:

[Rebal Boy]

Thought you wanted us to draw? :confused:

Your right I did. That was when Rams were nearer to ye in the table. I'd say ye have the league and hopefully Rams will get the play-off place. ;)

[Derek]

balloxs to this, the Dubs will win that all there is to it, the game is too important to lose or draw, The Boss will have the players fired up. Although the players know how important this game is, we will not be going there just to make up the numbers, you have been warned.

C'Mon Dublin.

[The Stars]

Ya Dublin will win cos it is an important game for them...it isnt important for Rovers.And they will also win cos keely will have them fired up,Connor wont have his players fired up......FFS Derek,what are you on about?

[gustavo]

ah leave derek alone sure isnt blind optimism in a bad situation one of the things being a fan is based on

[Terry]

when is the last time that silgo beat dublin? I was looking back over previous meetings and the results all went dublins way or were draws since the 2003 season.:confused:

[sligoman]

http://www.sligorovers.com/match/match%20stats/2002_summer/2003_01_12_v_lge_dublin.htmWas at that game, such a sh!thole of a ground that is:D

[gustavo]

yeah i remember us playing Shams there early in 2000 and losing 3-0 :(

[The Stars]

Suppose its a bit late to ask now but anyone know how many dubs are coming down?

[sligoman]

Suppose its a bit late to ask now but anyone know how many dubs are coming down?PM'd a few of their fans on here a few days back, they said around 20-30. They will have a drum aswell:eek:

[The Stars]

20-30?seemed more like 5 to me,well including their board members,10.
Maybe they traveled down with the team....

[gustavo]

they made more noise than the two stands combined though

[The Stars]

No they didnt...

[sligoman]

No they didnt...In fairness, they did:(

[The Stars]

You should have kept them quite anyway...........

[sligoman]

You should have kept them quite anyway...........:confused:, wtf?:D

[The Stars]

you know what im on about....
Ringo,what were you dong at the match..ie.drum,putting up the flag?

[Ringo]

Unfortunately I couldn't go:( ; I was away with my heavily pregnant wife (due next month, another fan for Dublin City!!!:) ) & my three year old. I used to bang the drum, hence the handle! Now I’m just part of the chorus!! Derek does all the hard work, now. Hard to go to matches every weekend, with a family. Used to be great when our games were on a Thursday.

We are like a relay team, one passes the baton on and on, what we lack in numbers we gain in dedication. We are well organised on and off the field.
