Rovers v Galway Match

How do ye think we'll get on in the second Connaught Derby of the season? The first match in Terryland was fairly evenly matched and a 0-0 draw was probably a fair result, with both Danny and the Galway lad unfairly sent off. United are having a good season so far when they were tipped to struggle and instead it's us who are looking at the wrong end of the table but I don't see any reason why we can't beat them at home. Our point away to Pat's and win against Fingal should give us a bit of confidence and hopefully we can go on a bit of a run ourselves. I'll go for a 2-1 win to Rovers to get us pushing up the table again!

Any word on Raf, will he be fit for this game after going off against Fingal?

were starting to come good now and well do the double on the them with us winning 2-0 and in the supporters game us winning 3-0

I think we are starting to have a better balance and shape to us, i think we are starting to see just little signs that we may be starting to click finally. I think we can win it for certain if we continue to improve, although we need to step up again to beat Galway but we are more than capable of it.

sat nite will be a big test. was at the galway away tie earlier in the season and although we were not great i felt they were worse. jay o shea was missing that nite so be interesting to see is he living up to all the hype. this wil be a big test for us i feel this is the one we need to win to get our season going. a defeat will be detremental so lets hope for the win. hopefully the crowd will get behind the team for this derby and give the crusties a hammering. we are badly in need of a win and i feel we will get it here.

I've got a good feeling.

Parkhouse double...

Gary Breen is suspended for them as he was sent off in LC last night and they're knocked out so it transfers to the league.

Jay O'Shea is a big threat, if we can keep him under control then we'll win.

Would be a great boost to get a win and keep the momentum going..pressume Conor will be back in,should Almedia be fit to start again?..him and Peers together is quality..looking foward to seeing Parkhouse from the start and hopefully he continues his recent form...Jay O'Shea is a big threat ana Galway have some other decent players but still think we'll get the win we need before two away games against teams around us.

Very Important we get a win(been saying that for a while!!)

7.45 kick off, is this a permanent change as I see the next home game vs. Derry (now on Fri June 5th due to International game) is also 7.45??

Ya Gaz is missing along with Kelly, Murphy, Sinnott. We will have a makeshift centre half pairing for this one.

I've no doubts we can beat these. If they're not demoralised after losing to the students then they should be. I suppose there might be a backlash after a result like that but we should be able to put them away. 2 nil Rovers i hope. I'd play the same team as started the second half against Fingal, but drop Cash and move Boco to the wing. Hopefully Almeida can play again instead of Feeney.

Personally speaking I could have done with the extra 15 minutes but everybody I talked to on Saturday night from people helping out to supporters were in favour of it.Also I think the majority of games in our division start at 7.45pm.
It's amazing the amount of people that are "allowed" go to the game on a Saturday night based on the promise of taking the other half out afterwards.So some of these lads have now scored some serious Brownie points by securing that extra 15 minutes of "quality time" with their other half.
At the end of the day the Club is about and for the Supporters so if enough of you make representations, then I cant see any reason why it shouldn't be changed back.This would only take effect from next season though if successful.

So the bottom line lads is that all our home games from now on will start at 7.45pm - so spread the word.

How many of those would get in the team though?

Probably better for bringing kids to games. No live tv games(soccer) to compete with for a while either.

Breen and Kelly definitely would be. Murphy might be.

Sinnott would have been if Breen wasn't if you know what I mean. Without either of them we're left with only 1 available centre back.

Ah sure ye're not so bad.
The way things are going for us on the injury front we'll
be starting with a makeshift back four
in mid field we'll have a makeshift middle four
and up front we'll have a makeshift front two.
Danny Ventre will be starting in goals this week.
we're still confident, no excuses

Prefer the 8 o'clock kick off myself, but if it means more people can attend games then i can live with it

This should be a smashing game... Well the start of it anyway ;)

Big gme for us,Got to keep the momentum goin from the late equaliser in Pats and the good cup win on Monday. I think that this may be the time when we start to put some good results together especially at home considering weve only won once here all year and see us winning 2-1. First goal is crucial tho and if we dont get it could be a struggle.
