Sligo Rovers 1-2 Bohemians

but he might have been hurt*,ya can't know,he was fouled.


*obviously not badly i know

He was down on the ground for at least 60 seconds beforehand looking for attention, and gets right up and plays on perfectly without looking for any further attention when he sees he can get the ball. If he had looked for the physio again, fair enough.

Our football last night was, on the whole, brutal. The players seem to have lost faith in their ability to play good football on the deck and the odd time we did do that - mainly after the substitutions were made - we caused Bohs all sorts of problems. Our midfield was terrible last night especially in the first half and our defence struggled in that opening 45 minutes as well. I thought Seamus was having a very poor game until the last quarter and cannot understand how he got man-of-the-match. For me Butler was our best player. I also agree that it would be worth switching Coleman with Murphy if he is going to persevere with Murphy.

We need to get back to the style we were playing during the middle of last season and there were a few glimpses of that last night.

The last time we won a competitive match was when we beat UCD 2 - 1 on 19th September last year.

I agree with every point you've made there. Butler should have been MOTM

i know i get whay ye are saying but I don't think any ref would have actually booked him for it. I know if a rovers player got booked for the same thing I wouldn't be too pleased

Nice to see Boco has a fellow countryman in the Rovers squad with him. Should help him settle in:D

Robbed last night would be the answer. Bohs had the first half, Rovers were about to destroy them in the second period. Great delivery by Butler for the disallowed goal. The stuffing was well knocked out of them when Bohs broke and scored. The breeze was the major factor in the game.

On another issue, when did the Showgrounds become a hot bed for terrorist activity??????? Had my 3 year old son at game last night and he had his small rugsack searched by an overzealous steward on the way into the ground:eek:



its to do with any flares, pyro etc. not being allowed in the ground

what c**t would use a 3 year old to smuggle flares into a rovers game?:confused:

This is about the fifth time in the last year his bag has been searched going in. I must have a very suspicious looking face!:rolleyes:

well if theirs a turbin covering half of it how can they see?:p

Has to be one to stop people bringing in flares and whatnot. Its their job and we should be thankful of the great work that the stewards do. Although it's worth noting that with the huge queues at the turnstiles last night, my bag wasn't searched. Especially with the fines last week, I thought they would have been extra vigilant, but evidently not.

Yes the stewards do a good job but there were flares at the sligo v drogs game

Exactly. I mean obviously if you were trying to bring in flares into the groud you wouldn't be stupid enough to bring it in a bag!?!
What next, full body searches.:confused:

Thats where I had the flares:p:p

Disapointing result. Couldnt make out why the goal was disalowed.
But i still cant figure out why manseram was given a penalty in the corresponding fixture last season.
Sometimes it seems we have to score two goals against the self proclaimed big dublin clubs to win or draw a game as the referees are just itching to give a decision against us.
Nice touch by the referee to give j byrne a pat on the back as he was leaving the field after being substituted

Thought Butler had a very good game, i was critical of him in a previous post, glad he proved me wrong.

Great crowd, great atmosphere, live football hard to beat.

well in fairness, youd think it would be the last place a steward would expect to find them....so perfect place to hide them!

bad result - i can't see bohs been a serious force if that was anything to go by, anyway it was my first visit to the showgies since last july - (i don't live in ireland anymore) i thought we did ok, although as many of you have already pointed out we opted for the long ball option on many occassion, personally i think bohs deserved to win simply because over the 90 they tried to play football , so what impressed me - the attendance for starters , our left full, boco will cause a lot of problems for teams in the summer - looks like he has great control , touch,skill etc, every one else did ok overall , although i have to admit i wasn't impressed with murphy - no 7 - i thought he bottled alot of challenges he did'nt really look confident the majority of the game, from my own opinion so far this season my views are only based on those 90 min, on a sour note Foy looks a disgrace physically i saw him in the pre match warm up - and i'll never understand how fenlon get away with all the abuse he gives the assistant ref, if anyone has the attendance number please post
