yet again, the commitment and passion was there and they all played for the shirt but we created around one half chance all night. same story is guess, great commitment for 90 minutes, no goals though. 5 goals in 9 games now

We were very unfortunate to have lost. We really need to sign a good striker in July, until then I don't think we'll be scoring too many. Although Judge did alright and maybe when he's fully fit we might get a few out of him. Bit harsh on Choice there RT, yes he hasn't been great in games this season but, last night he was actually alright. Some of the decisions against us were questionable, although shams should have had a penalty.

Such an ending, terrible tackle on Hughes and he was right to go back and confront the shams player. Then a mass brawl started with every player and players/managers on the bench too. Nice huddle by the team at the end and great for them to show their appreciation so much, it was a special ending!

Finally, to the muppet that threw the bottle down at the Shams players on the pitch, why? Did you not know of the fines we got for this against Bohs and UCD? FFS cop on or **** off, you are costing the club more than you're giving them!:mad:

I agree with you Sligoman, it was a vey 'moving' jesture by the team at the end. But the lads made plenty of noise & atmosphere all night. The Ref, as he always is, was disgraceful & all the little things went against us. Thought Hughsie was excellent - he covered a lot of ground, battled for everything & gave us a real presence in the midfield. Vastas was good & Coleman's loss was felt. But not one serious chance in 90 mins & I thought they were playing for the draw from a long way out.

overall- we did ok- i have been to 6 games this season, it's my opinion at this stage 1 or 2 are not up to this level- choice been one, for the good things Foyser does i really believe he's gone downhill and will be lucky to survive come July, our problems up front have been highlighted in previous posts,. what we need is a big player up front, we will have cash coming back shortly plus a fit Judge coupled with o'grady,curran, really things aren't that bad- we play good football, and we are no worse at the back than last year, we are certainly as good as shamrock rovers based on last nights performance, i think they are very defensive minded, as for the idiot who threw the coke bottle, well done that could cost rovers a few quid, great so see drums etc- some great chants and great support

Lads, someone obviously knows who this cretin is. There should be a word in the ear of the people who can hand down a ban.

Get the bottle-throwing moron kicked out.

well to be honest i didn't see the UCD one either but with the description given by the UCD fans on here i think i know who it is.
did anyone see what badzjaik done? couldn't have been worse than what happened to mc cartney, a full thump in the face he got. Was their man that got sent off the lad that tackled hughsie or the one that hit jay? anyone know?

Was their man that got sent off the lad that tackled hughsie or the one that hit jay? anyone know?He wasn't the guy that tackled Hughes anyway. I confirmed that with a Shams fan today to see. Barry Ferguson was the player that tackled Hughes and an O'Connor fella was the guy sent off.

Shamrock Rovers manager Pat Scully has hit out at Sligo Rovers in the wake of the end-of-match fracas which marred his side’s victory at Tolka Park on Friday night.

A late goal from Ger Rowe secured all three points for the Hoops, but a row which involved players, substitutes and officials erupted shortly before the final whistle.

Shams midfielder Danny O’Connor and Sligo’s Piotr Bajdziak were both red-carded by referee Paul Tuite, but Scully was in no doubt about the instigators of the melee.

He told the Irish Independent: “I think their reaction was disgraceful. I thought they played for a draw and they retaliated because they lost the game in the last few minutes.

I thought it was a brave display by rovers. There was 100% commitment there but unfortunately there was no threat at all going forward. we were playing for a nil all from a long way out. A couple of new forwards in the summer has to be the no. 1 priority. We just don't look like scoring a goal at the moment. Can Cook get a decent performance out of Choice?

Will be interested to see the highlights of the goal on the tv as I thought the keeper had saved it initially, but it just dropped into the net.

Great travelling support again. But where has shams support gone, there can't have been more than 1000 at the game??

I seen it on TV on friday night! it was a shocker by the keeper. He should have parryed it away from the goal instead of trying to put it over the bar as he was so far off his line.

i watched the brawl in slow motion there about 5 times and i have 2 say i've to say i've lost every bitta respect i ever had for scully. o'connor punched turner in the face and then got jay in a headlock&punched him repeatedly on the top of the head. he should be lookin at a 5-6 game ban at least but shams are from dublin so nothing will happen. bajdziak deserved to go too & was an idiot for what he did

Have to say DFX you have what i would call the best programme in the league. I know it is a Euro more expensive but it is a good read i have to say and not to many adverts which is what some clubs have, although i loved the one at the back:).

Actually that programme was the best one we have done so far IMO. On the sligo fan who threw the bottle well there's always one idiot.

But what was your number 5 up to at the final whistle? Walking to the tunnel he was goading the Rovers fans, kissing his jersey etc? Truly pathetic stuff and he rightly got dogs abuse.

Compare this to the sligo assistant manager (I think) who applauded the Rovers fans and he was applauded back.

Why the huddle at the end? IMO huddles are just for the cameras.

It's appalling to see such a fat player like Foy play in the league to be honest.

Felt overall we deserved it on the chances and possession we had. Dreadful mistake by your keeper at the end:D

Well we won at the death so no reason for our players not to celebrate. The point about the bottle was that there's always a minority and that if it had come from our end it would have been all over the media so calm down there Arcaba.

The strange thing is that the Ref was looking straight at the tackle that started it all. It was a straight red card - no doubt. He just blew full time & took no action. Coupled to a number of bizarre decisions given against Sligo, it was bound to result in a reaction. He gave two yellows - one for a deliberate handball & one for not giving the ball back quick enough - but nothing for a dreadful tackle. He is a terrible Ref, at least he did'nt have far to travel after the match! Scully's contribution was'nt helpful. Glad Cook stayed quiet. Let's just all move on.
