Galway -v- Rovers

[Ceirtlis]

Some dirty challenges going in alright but Ciaran Foley put in plenty of them. no 19 and for rovers certainly put himself about as well. I thought rovers probably had more of the play but we had the better chances. Gethins was excellant up front and ran all night but he looked shattered for the last 15 minutes or so. O'Brien played well before he got injured also but united didnt get him on the ball as much as they probably should have. an excellant performance alround though.
A question for rovers fans as well why do ye like that build me up buttercup song so much. Fair play to ye for singing but i nearly went round the twist listening to that for the whole of the first half.

they ref played at least 7 minutes injury time at the end of the 2nd the board said 4 but he was really bustin a gut trying help rovers out. they could be playin till next week and they never would have scored!

He played 49 minutes in the second half, but as the game was stuck in midfield for the last half hour, we couldn't get into the penalty area, never mind create a chance. I don't think the ref helped us at all, tbh. He played a lot longer then the time allocated at the end of the first half, and as a result, Galway scored, following terrible defending and goalkeeping. :(

Great result, great night, I had 3 young fellas me and they could hardly speak when they got home. Does anyone know what the attendence was?

[Patrick Dunne]

3,092 official attendance. There were over 2,000 people in the stand, and certainly more than 1,100 outside it, so the actual figure had to be at least 3,500.

[GUISAUltra]

yeah id say there was definitely 3500 and ,maybe a bit more

3,092 paid in. Kids are free and there are season ticket holders too.

Great night all round. Great to see a sell-out in terryland, not too often that happens and not an ounce of trouble, segregation worked well, rovers fans were sound and ever (apart from during the last ten minutes of the game). Lets try and get a similar crowd up the dyke in two weeks time against Dundalk. Nice to see the Tifo flags back, and as I said in the other thread, how about putting the gufc flags up on the green mesh behind the car park goals, at least TV3 and the fair-weather fans would see them - they are class in all fairness.

My brother was at the match and said the atmosphere was unreal.
He was a regular at Terryland back in the glory days of Tommy Keane and co, when the "stand" was at the west end of the ground and we'd clatter the corrugated iron for an atmosphere.
He said the fans didnt stop singing once with flairs and everything going off.
Sounded brillaint.
Fair play to all who were there.
