Mick O Donnell was sent off, he went to strike a rovers player and got a straight red

Finished 1-3 in United Park. Drogs with an injury time penalty. What a display, both defensively (soaked up non-stop Drogs pressure for first 30 minutes) and in attack. Steamrolled! ;)

et al. is the abbreviated form of the Latin "et alius" which means "and others". That doesn't really fit into the context there.:confused:

No you didn't.The better team lost and you know they did.We domintaed most of the game,had a goal disallowed and looked most likely like the team who would nick unitl O Donnell was sent off.

You'd have to ask the officials of Drogheda about that one. I got two different reasons, but they seemed to settle on one then. However I was told up to arriving at the door, that we could film, but after getting a cameraman and lugging the equipment to the door, we were refused. :)

That's hilarious. It never ceases to amaze me how fans only see what they want to see in matches.
The first half was very even because both sides were rubbish - no chances created, no attacking flair, just 20 men in the centre circle kicking lumps out of each other as is the done thing in this God awful division.
Second half, however, was all Rovers. Granted, the red card did swing things in our favour (he got red for elbowing the Rovers player off the ball, btw) but the last 20 minutes was just wave after wave of Rovers attacks. We got the ball on the deck and actually started playing football. Galway resorted to time wasting with around 20 minutes to go. How you could possibly say that Galway dominated the game is beyond me.
As for Cousins, his entrance was quality. He waited in the changing room for around three minutes after everyone else was gone just so as he could soak up the applause. It would have looked arrogant for anyone else to do it, but Cousins deserves it. Total legend at Rovers, it would not be possible to overstate his God-like status.
As someone made the point on the Ultras board, it was ironic for Cousins' Galway to go down to a last minute goal considering last minute strikes were his trademark as a player.

Total rubbish.We were easily as good,probably better actually than yee in the second half.
Remember our disallowed goal?For what?
Rovers were very lucky and i still believe UTD will win the league.

The Galway goal was disallowed because Barry Murphy ended up in the back of the net. It's normal practise to try to put the ball in the net. The whistle was long gone before the ball ended up in the net. Apart from that, Barry Murphy didn't have one single save to make.
Passive is spot on with his analysis. The first half was dire. The second half didn't start much better but gradually, Rovers took control, even before the sending off. A well deserved victory in the end.

Jammy homeless baxtards! A 0-0 draw was just too much to ask for...
When a team sets their stall out for a draw from an early stage they deserve nothing, and Galway, like Athlone last week who were intent on breaking up as many Hoops as they could, got what they deserved

Derry,Cork etc have been much better.
It was an even game right up until the sending off.Got what we deserved?Hardly!
Rovers will drop alot more points before the season is out and if UTD react well in Limerick on Tuesday im confident we can win the league.Yee lot still have to come to Terryland-again!

We're 4 points clear, with a game in hand, and with 2 games on several others. The league is all over bar the shouting. Why? Because we have the best GD, least goals against, less games played, and comfortably clear. Unlike Limerick, we won't lose a 4 point lead. Why? Because we are simply better than everyone else.
Another fully deserved win btw, payback for the defeat in Galway in June.

You watched a different game to me Passive.
How the second half was all Rovers is baffling. We had the ball, but we can have the ball we like, we did NOTHING with it. A few nice passes from side-to-side and a quite a good few random hoofs from Murphy when he collected the ball. And from where I was it looked a perfectly good goal for Galway. Wave after wave of attacks? How many shots on target can you remember that owed to a wave of attack? I said to the lad standing beside me as the fourth official put the board up that there's only consolation winning 1-0 and saying everything's alright...because it isn't and despite the winning goal from a Galway mistake after another fruitless misplaced pass from Rovers should win the league, I'm not going to be fooled into thinking otherwise.
Galway came for a point to keep the gap at a point with us at home and half the season left, of course they'd hold for a draw away to us. It didn't look like we could do anything about it..like whene Dundalk did...and Kilkenny a...
And given that I was up at the Ballybough end of the main stand, all I could hear was Galway fans until the last minute.

Did you keep a straight face when you said that? I have been to all three of our games against you lot this season and you really are nothing to write home about. We definately deserved a win from one of the Tolka games. We are in great form at the minute. I'm certain Rovers have enough time left in the season to slip up and when that happens there are enough teams waiting to take advantage of it.

All I could hear was the faint sound of a few drums being drowned out by our singing and we brought 150-200 atleast to galway and made lots of noise.Yous are second in the league,have won big games in the last few weeks and you bring 30(thats as high as I'll go,stop kidding yourself),and derry and cork are at the top of the premier and we still outnumber and outsing them why?,cause we are Shamrock Rovers,who the f*ck are you?

I was wondering how you could come up with this mind-boggling boll*cks until your last sentence.If you had been up the right end for the second half with all the other hoops giving it socks you might have seen the game.I've been critical of this rovers team all season but the second half performance was something else,they came out and decided to pass the ball and use the width which all great hoops teams have and galway had no answer but to boot the ball away if they got the chance.A little more experience and a better final ball and it would have been a massacre.This rovers side has huge potential and heart and ger rowe is a class act and you must have been the only hoop coming out of tolka with a negative view.If the finishing improves and we continue to pass the ball well then god help borehemians!

Jaysus, I know Tolka isn't in the best state, but I didn't think sitting in a particular area of the ground makes an impact on what I see on the pitch..
More experience, finishing and passing? Is that all? That's alright then - only two fundamental parts of the game to catch up on..:rolleyes:

Not perfect,but getting better as all good hoops fans will tell you
To be fair the atmosphere at pretty much all of our games this season has been poor compared to previous seasons, i for one purely base this on the fact its first division football we're watching & in that respect difficult to get excited about, the fact we're playing a workmanlike brand of football more often than not (it gets results but is no Brazil circa 1970) with the sole intention of topping the division says it all, i'm treating this season as something to be endured rather than enjoyed, i would imagine i'm far from alone in feeling this.
Fair play to the Galway lads for travelling, they did indeed make a bit of noise & could be heard from the main stand for spells throughout the 90 minutes, maybe not as voiciferous as they would imagine but definitely present & correct! I look forward to the final installment in Terryland in October, a sound (if understandably disappointed) bunch of lads!

I realise you're a sad Shels WUM but seriously ask yourself two questions - 1) Which club has the higher attendances? 2) Which club is in which division?
The day when I accept utter codswallop like "spent force in the stands too" from a Shels fan is still at least 2 millenia away. :rolleyes:

Definite sending off, he was getting booked for the tackle but decided to lash out with the elbow.
Sorry,what I meant was he won the ball so it wasn't a free and therefore the scenario in which he hit our fella should never have arisen but I think the ref gave the free because he did it to us all game when we won the ball
