Cork in the cup

Surprised there's no thread for this yet. I feel we can get a draw in this one. Cork probably haven't been playing as well as their points tally suggests. We outplayed them in the first game of the season and by all accounts we played very well down there in the 1-0 defeat, with a depleted squad.

We played well against derry imo, but looking at it on MNS, we really didn't create many chances. Boco was sorely missed.

It will be good to have Keane and O'Grady back, and we shouldn't have to be calling on our young players to start the game (I think?).

I'll be happy if the lads put in the same commitment as they did against derry, and if we do concede let's hope the heads don't drop.

It would be great if Morrison could step up to the plate, he has it in him.

Should be a good trip, with hopefully a big Rovers following and a good atmosphere.

o grady is suspended

Boco is available for Friday night, according to the Champion he will '.....interrupt his international schedule to fly back to Ireland......'

Jesus fair play to Boco, absolute star, hopefully this will give the lads a boost ahead of the game.

Edit: By the wat whats the story with the bus for this?

That's really first class. Who pays for his flights, though? Surely not Benin's FA?

We'll have to play very well to get anything from the game. Hopefully Keane coming back in will be a boost. I predict a narrow loss. :(

For Cork i take it?:)

not much choice wit the startin team, hopefully keane will be fit to play

In keeping with the policy of Sligo Rovers FC of always making life easy for the administrative section of the FAI, we will beat the s hite out of Cork, thereby making the other parts of your question irrelevant.

Glad to be of help.

Keeping the fingers crossed for this one. Looks unlikely but I'll go for a two-one win for us.

would have thought that this game wou have been the tie of the round and on telly?or is there any of the cup games on live over the weekend?

Will there be live coverage again this year of this one on Ocean FM ?
