[Poor Student]

The game on April Fool's, when does it actually kick off?:confused:

[SligoBrewer]

midnight.

we'll have an illumious kit ala barcelona last season thanks to magic jako and with no floodlights were gonna hammer the seven shades of s***e out of ye

.. probably the only way we will too.

[Poor Student]

Good stuff, our new away kit is totally black. We'll take you by stealth.

Seriously though, is it set for a 3:00 ko? There's no time listed on the site yet.

[CollegeTillIDie]

Poor Student

The Showgrounds have no floodlights for a few more weeks so it will be a Sunday afternoon game.

[SligoBrewer]

yip...

probably 3:00

[sligoman]

Sunday, 15:30 k/o.

Subs:leo(2nd choice goalie),foy(if fit)julian,faz,mc kenzie(jus 2 make up da numbers)

I thought Mc Kenzie was excellent Friday..showed a lot of maturity.

[SligoBrewer]

whopps with the 12 players

whopps with the spelling as well:D :p

[SligoBrewer]

just like back in primary school,what spelling:confused:

whopps should equal whoops? no?:)

[sligoman]

So kelly, looking at your revised team there, you'd drop Manson, McKenzie and Faz. No offence but I hope Leo doesn't look to you to pick the starting 11:eek:. Faz I can understand but Manson and McKenzie?

[Red&White Rover]

.mc kenzie is awful

dont see any basis for this?

[Midgit]

whopps should equal whoops? no?:)

How come any time there is a spelling mistake Brewer is right on the scene?

[sligoman]

How come any time there is a spelling mistake Brewer is right on the scene?He's a closet UCD fan;)

[showgies]

I think the team will be

Brush
Coleman - McKensie - Peers - Kelly
Manson - Turner - Hughes - Faz
Choise - Raf

But, I wouldn't be surprised if Turner was slotted in left back with Faz in the middle with McCartney on the left wing.

[Bravo]

Is O Grady out?

[showgies]

Is O Grady out?

Suspended for the next 2 games I think.............I thought Hughes had a good game in Longford, so Connor could be on the bench when he returns

[Only1Rovers]

I think the team will be

But, I wouldn't be surprised if Turner was slotted in left back with Faz in the middle with McCartney on the left wing.

I wasn't at Longford but heard Coleman put in another impresive performace, surely he should be in at right full with Turner in Midfield?

[showgies]

Agreed! That's why I have him at right full......

[Midgit]

Cant see how you can leave Poitr out!!!

[showgies]

Cant see how you can leave Poitr out!!!

This isn't necessarily the team I would choose, but the one I think maybe played on Sunday. Piotr has only played a few minutes, although an impressive few minutes they were, it isn't enough to judge him on.

But, it goes to show that Leo as good competition for places in midfield.

[Redzer]

I've heard that we are looking for a 5P.M. kick off, as the 3 or 3.30 is clashing with the GAA.

[pineapple stu]

Sorry but I think it's a general rule in football that teams can only have 11 players on the pitch at all times;).
Dunno; with our recent record against you, I wouldn't mind playing yez with 12 players to give us a bit of a challenge. ;)

[Rovers1]

aertel says the game kicks of at 3.30 sunday,can anyone confirm this?

[Redie]

I know two ball boys who have been told to report for a 3.30 kick off

[neutrino]

I've heard that we are looking for a 5P.M. kick off, as the 3 or 3.30 is clashing with the GAA.

which GAA fixtures are these ? not even championship time yet so why worry about GAA. From going years and years with a regular fixture we've played games all over the shop in recent times. alot of people cant make 3.30 on sunday as it is with travelling back to where they work on a sunday, let alone 5pm.

[Rory H]

its 5pm

[Midgit]

Its Definatly 5pm. Was in the Champion as 5pm.

[Poor Student]

Disappointing. There's no way to return to civilization via public transport after 6:00pm from Sligo on a Sunday.

[pineapple stu]

Sure yez're all unemployed student wasters anyway, so it doesn't matter!

Say that again when you're cold and there are wolves after you.

[gustavo]

Your nerdiness is:

Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

So i can go:)

[dublinred]

Rovers have moved this game in a vain attempt to keep the Nerds/freaks/Trekkies/UCD fans away from the ground. This action was taken after years after last years in which they held spelling B's played draughts and held irritating disscusions Physical cosmology at half time.

Fans will asked to to complete this test http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.php?im before they are allowed to enter the ground.

I heard one of them has a car and is bringing a few of them and the rest of them are going to share a taxi.

[SligoBrewer]

Your nerdiness is:

High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!.

ah for fudge sake!

[feo123]

i got not nerd like or somethin? brewer ya big geek!!!!!!
lets not go off topic....manson or badziak???

[Midgit]

Bobic!!!!!

[feo123]

his name is badjziak not bobic

[SligoBrewer]

were we were versus derry...

get there early and occupy rows of seats

[Fivesilver]

Good stuff. Don't give up on a concerted effort to get the stand going.

A lot of the stiffs have been sitting there silent for years - they won't change overnight. But if you get a consistent display of sound and colour in a section every home game, you will get a few more - especially the younger crowd - wanting to be part of it each time.

If you can do that , you're not only increasing the atmosphre in the place, you're also setting the foundations for Rovers' support into the future.

[red bellied]

From the Rte website

Sligo Rovers must do without the services of several key players for the visit of UCD to The Showgrounds, with a delayed kick-off of 5.00pm.

Caretaker managers Leo Tierney and Dessie Cawley will have to plan without suspended midfielder Conor O' Grady, while Gary Curran (ankle ligaments), Keith Foy (dead leg), Chris Turner (neck) and Matthew Judge (ankle) miss out through injury.


However, the home side will have the versatile Rafael Cretaro available after returning from suspension as they look to secure their third win from four outings and keep pace with the leaders at the top of the eircom League Premier Division.

UCD, still without a win this season, are expected to start with the same team that lost 1-0 to Cork City last Friday.

[SligoBrewer]

ouch... mmm i dunno will we win today
