Out of jail............yes!
Well we certainly got out of jail tonight.
Fair play to the team though for grinding out this result.
I think the team showed a lot of guts and character to keep plugging away right to the bitter end and what a great header from Beanno at the end. Dolan nearly had him "for tea" after.
When some quarters start getting on the players backs ( funnily enough primarily the younger ones - Kearney, Behan, K Murray etc all U-21 ) it is particularly satisfying to get the result we did.
What it means now is that with Pat's losing 1-0 to Shels, we now have the 3rd spot back in our own destiny ( our goal difference is much better than bothe Pat's and Rovers - the only teams that can catch us ).
Overall we probably shaded it although they did look dangerous on the break.
Great game by Hoggy at both ends of the field, though Nawanko had some nice touches and was part of the late equaliser.
Roll on Tuesday night.
Hope there is a good crowd travelling down.

kearney needs badly to be dropped, he's ****ing brutal, cant pass, cant tackle, cant hold the ball, he must be bruised to ****, cos he keeps getting rammed off every ball he gets. Dolan what the **** are you doing starting him. Hes being rated on "that" goal.

They only stated plugging away 10 mins from the end, for the other 80 the pressure was non existent on Rovers. their defanders had a real easy game. It was only when Nolan and Colin P started running and turning defenders did it look anyway good.
The corners and free kicks were simple to defend, all the City players bunched into one corner. No one breaking and trying to make defenders run. Very poor ..... Why were SPA called set piece athletic under Dolan when we are brutal at set pieces.
Behan doesn't put any pressure what so ever on defenders or keeper, Flynn covers so much ground when he is on always chasing everything. Very poor.
Murray was alright at times last night but still should not be there.

We sure did. Alot of credit should deservedly go to City on the result, and in the context of other results it was a HUGE point.
IMO, Rovers played us off the park. Fitzatrick predictably destroyed us as we were missing so many regulars; but, that said, it was nice to see City find some fight in themselves and keep going to the final whistle rather than lying down and accepting things. Bring on Europe!!
