Cork City

[feo123]

Time to forget the last few games, no point looking back, clear underdogs for this one...o'donovan in the form of his life will be really hard to handle.
would be pretty happy with a point i guess
1-0 rovers, judge :confused:

[Red&White Rover]

dont see anything but 0 points and 0 goals coming from this for us...

[avvenalaf]

Will O'Grady be fit?

[SeaniesRedArmy]

Judge looks like are best chance of scoring. Great to see peers back. i have a feeling we might get a draw

[Pablo]

looking forward to this trip lads.

I reckon our team will be:

........................Devine.................... .......

Hoggy.......Dan......O'Callaghan.........Ryan

Softic........COB.......Gamble.............Woods

..................Flynny.........ROD.............. .....



Thats who i'd play. O'Callaghan in the continued absence of sean Kelly.. Even though i reckon Rico will play Kearney for Woods.


Darren Murphy, The Lordans, Behan and Kearney/Woods on the bench.

Hopefully enough for the 3 points.


Whats a good spot to head out on Saturday night?

[Rory H]

myself and fivesilver are getting a few flags and the like to add to the atmosphere for saturday which will be distributed to our singing group in the jinks'.We need a bit more colour and a few of the flags are going to making pretty massive one[which is midget is kindly putting together] which by the end should hopefully extend to about 30ftx18ft . the cost of it is €60, a couple of donations will be welcome saturday:D :p

:cool: fair play lads...

[Rory H]

said the same myself at the trust meeting last tuesday.our run of results sort of shoots in down though


sligobrewer had added €30 to our flag fund which means we have 40 flags now. which is 200ft x 120ft worth of flags. we'll do something anyway with them anwyay

[Fivesilver]

I know some you may laugh at this but the club should have promoted this as saturday evening football returns to the showgrounds !

Laughing alright - because I can't believe they haven't. A good few of you are old enough to remember the first night game in the Showgies. Incredible buzz. I was living in Crozon Downs at the time, and I remember the feeling of seeing the light in the sky above the trees as I headed down.

Home Farm were the opposition if memory serves me right. Hammered them four nil, think that was the night Johnny Kenny went on the wonder run before finishing it off in front of the Shed. Crowds kept getting bigger and bigger after that, seemed like Rovers used to win all their home games then by three or four. Great buzz alright and around the town afterwards. The only down point was that you would be caked in mud heading into Xanadus

[Shiba]

No Home Farm for sure and even remember seeing the lights for the first time on the approach to town, some buzz back then.

Remember that feeling well,I was working evenings at the time in saehan,i remmeber leaving work and seeing the lights for the first time was unreal and the buzz was electric.should be promote the same way again but I dont think even the local papers are promoting Rovers as well as they used to OR is it the club that is at fault!

[Fivesilver]

The club PR person should be constantly on the phone to Ocean and the papers - maybe she is and they just don't respond?

[Pablo]

Wheres a good spot to watch the SC Final lads?

[avvenalaf]

Hampden Park.

[gustavo]

Hampden Park.

Doubt there would be much demand for a Drogheda -Linfield game over there. :rolleyes:

Probably Foleys would be the best spot ,But I wouldnt be sure

[Tir Oilean]

Johnny Kenny

Now there was a great players what is he at now?

[sligoman]

Doubt there would be much demand for a Drogheda -Linfield game over there. :rolleyes:I think avvenlaf is trying to be funny(as usual:rolleyes: ) and imply he means the Scottish cup final.

[feo123]

[Rory H]

WTF!!!:D How the hell am i gona put that together?:confused: :D

[Rovers1]

[Rovers1]

[GavinZac]

Why didn't you go? stuck in work, i have my work schedule specially designed to let me have fridays off :D

How many is on the bus:confused:. They staying over or up and down in one night?not sure but i'd imagine its a 20/30 seater rather than a 50 seater. they'll be coming straight back, they made good time on the way up.

[gustavo]

Great craic with the Cork lads in Foleys , they brought down a good enough crowd fair play

[Red&White Rover]

aye fair play...was talking to a few after the game briefly...nice bunch and well friendly....fair play for coming up...

[Midgit]

obviously we're not going to use all of them! the rest will just be handed out

Hey rory in that bag u gave me there was only 2 flags!?!?! The rest was.....well i don't know what to call them.... miniture flags on strings???:confused:

Well anyway i cant really make the flag much bigger now but i will be at the Bray game if you want to sort it out then. Another 10-15 flags would make a nice big one.

[SligoBrewer]
