So to save that embarrassment I'll just say .............

[atfconline]

For anyone travelling to the game tomorrow night:

Approaching Athlone on the Roscommon Road (N61), join the Dual Carriageway at Ganly Roundabout, bound for Dublin. Leave Dual Carriageway two exits later (No.4). Turn right on leaving Dual Carriageway. Take first exit off Athlone RSC Roundabout (100 yards). Continue on this road until you see Athlone Town Stadium on your right.

[south sligo red]

[Only1Rovers]

Dunno, its all very quite, surley someone has sent someone a text?

[redtildead]

Finished 1-1. Rovers went 1 nil down. Boco equalised with a penalty. All I know so far

[south sligo red]

Cheers. Was goin insane not knowing! Result is a bit disappointing though.

[Only1Rovers]

Doesn't sound very exciting. At least Boco got off the mark.

[red arrow]

was not at the game but rang friend who was at it . boco did not play to long and 5 athlone players booked. thats all i got. dont be to dissapointed friendlies have no bearing on real competition and it will take a bit of time for players to gel. exciting times ahead

[Rovers fan]

sure remember monaghan last year and we still started the season well

[redtildead]

Cheers. Was goin insane not knowing! Result is a bit disappointing though.

Wouldnt read into it too much though. Apart from Coolaney its the first game back and its all about gettin players games and fitness at this stage. Better performances will follow...hopefully:p

[sligoman]

Jennings
Butler
McKenzie
Mauro Almeida
Cretaro
Murphy(Cash)
Moore
O'Grady
Doherty
Faz
Judge(Boco)

Cook said before hand that their was not much point in starting Coleman, Peers and Ventre as they're suspended for the first game, they did travel though. Also said again about Boco being a good signing and that we'll really like him. Athlone were fairly physical, tackles flying in early on, O'Grady and Levi Tierney(playing for Athlone) had a couple of 'incidents' with each other. Not too exciting of a game but still a good run out. Athlone had ex-Rovers players Jason McCartney, Jim Sheridan, Rossi, Jinks, David O'Dowd and Levi Tierney in their team. Levine scored their goal with a header.

About 25-30 Rovers fans there.

[deecay]

Good night,the flare,Boco and Section O's leader Martinho were highlights.Coldest night ever

[deecay]

Also heard we are playing Carbury the 29th,friday before Pats

[feo123]

wasnt the best of games we didnt play great until the last 20/25 minutes, we passed the ball around well in that spell, i liked Boco he looked to get on the ball alot and never gave it away, result isnt the most important thing either, moore looked good also.
also thought almeida was decent, no nonsense defender by the looks of things

[redtildead]

Why was Levi playing for Athlone?
Dd he sign last week

[Ash]

Any more word on the return leg in the Showgrounds?

[DRDoc]

Levi hasnt signed yet - but he hopes too as he reckons he needs to get some games in at this stage

[DonalE]

Any more word on the return leg in the Showgrounds?


Nothing yet, thought i'd have heard something last night but no.

[feo123]

heard we might be playing carbury friday week.

[deecay]

heard we might be playing carbury friday week.
Whered ya hear the Feo? Try 6 posts up:mad:

[feo123]

[forza rovers]

Athlone had ex-Rovers players Jason McCartney, Jim Sheridan, Rossi, Jinks, David O'Dowd and Levi Tierney in their team.he plays for us:confused:and ciarn kelly also played for us

[DonalE]

Must say I was impressed with O'Dowd last night

[Boo_Boy]

all players in the list played for us!

thats why sligo man said 'ex-rovers'
