If we had lost the last six matches, hadn't scored a goal in any of them and had conceded 30, there would still be a big crowd for the visit of our biggest enemy. This is our Old Firm game.

[sligoman]

Danny O'Connor sent off tonight, suspended for this game.

[sligofan4ever]

Yeah I Fancy a win for us and I expect a big crowd for our Dublin rivals btw anyone know the score from tonight in st pats vs shams My TV reception is bad and so is the PC (sort of) and I can't get the score, also i know this is off topic but do those red and black balloons and posters got anything to do with the match because they say theres an invasion onMarch the 3rd and maybe its a little fun thing meaning theres a load of shams fans coming up

[deecay]

Pats won 1-0 Lynch

[sligoman]

but do those red and black balloons and posters got anything to do with the matchWhere are they?:confused:

Posters will be going up tomorrow night by the Supporters Trust so if anyone's available to help then go to GPO tomorrow at 7pm.

[sligofan4ever]

go up to North Sligo this week around grange and look out for them and these posters say stuff like the night of May 3rd there WILL be an invasion if you were listening to ocaean FM this afternoon you might have heard it

[deecay]

Half of Grange and all those areas will be at the game,their geting a section in the Tracey Ave stand aswell.Cliffoney-Grange FC that is

[sligoman]

Great post there, you should include a section for what'll happen here next week. A highly charged keyboard warrior debate about who's fans were louder, how many Shams fans were actually here and how many people were at the game in total. There will also be some minor incident (bit of banter between fans) blown way out of proportion. . . .

I would have, but I was busy listening to the Sun tape again. Interestingly, the bit where Scully says "I hope the ref has the courage to protect our young lads", played backwards, sounds something like "Jaysusyou'renotthinkingofgivingmyjobtoSeanConnor?"

[Da Real Rover]

there would still be a big crowd for the visit of our biggest enemy. This is our Old Firm game.

For the older generation maybe,
as for the fans I know, a total exageration.

Don'y judge people by there age to know that Shamrock Rovers are like our old Firm not just the "older fans" would know that there somewhat of a rival to us

sorry I was typing fast :rolleyes: what I mean is people believe that only older fans would know that Shamrock Rovers would be dublin rivals for us but im a younger fan and i know well that Shamrock Rovers are our rivals so don't say that all the younger fans wouldn't think this is a big match for us

WHATS Haul ? (Never heard the word :rolleyes:)
Definition (http://www.answers.com/haul&r=67), and use in the idiom long haul (http://www.answers.com/topic/long-haul?cat=technology).

[redobit]

I heard a bit of that alright, Cliffoney-Grange are the local club invited this week.

From what i heard, the cliffoney grange club was given somtin like 500 tickets for the game to sell as best they can, then rovers and themselves split the money 50/50 on the the number of tickets.

[dfx-]

To say I am not confident of Rovers winning would be a slight understatement. It could be a long bus journey back.

For some reason I thought this game was on Friday:o

[Jeebus]

For some reason I thought this game was on Friday:o

So did I until a few weeks ago. It was originally down on sligorovers.com as the Friday when the fixtures came out.

[avvenalaf]

It's all a part of Baldrick's cunning plan.

[sligofan4ever]

8:00 K.O as usual is it ?

[red bellied]

O Grady is suspended for this.

[red_away]

We should win this game 5 - 1 ...no probs!!!

[placid casual]

We should win this game 5 - 1 ...no probs!!!

you should. but you wont.
i predict a dour 0:0 draw.
Our specialist subject this season appears to be hoof ball so i'm not exactly brimming with confidence.
this is your cup final i guess(tho talk of old firm is a bit ott) so i'm assuming paul cook will have the team up for it.

hopefullly a good crowd and a half decent game to watch

Extra time and penalties ?

It is our Old Firm game for long before Galway, Harpic or Derry were ever heard of, these were our games, our cup finals. If you know your history...........

If you doubt me, ask Fago the next time you meet him.

Personally I think saying old firm is a bit OTT,its my second favourite game after Harps

[sligoman]

The older fans will always class shams as main rivals. Majority of younger ones won't even know a rivalry exists.

[Rovers Maniac]

I am probably younger than you and most here i am guessing but i know my history ;). Please read some history about our club.:mad:

[sligoman]

Please read some history about our club.:mad:I know there's history, just saying a lot of younger ones won't. Not all, but a lot.

[sligofan4ever]

Looks like were starting another argument over younger fans :p. Well me and Rovers Maniac are younger fans but were well aware f the rivalry between Sligo Rovers and Shamrock Rovers.

Paul Cook is the latest manager to fall foul of the powers that be after being hit with a four-game touchline ban for his recent sending-off against Galway United.

[Only1Rovers]

Pat Scully has already crticised the pitch in the Mirror this morning.

Brilliant!
