sligo rovers vrs athlone town..predictions etc

the last team to make their way to the showgies in series 2,the only 1st div team who havent played there yet this season finally do.

athlone,on the back of a poor loss to kilkenny will be looking to get their disappointing season back on track against in form rovers

tim mc cann is unlikely to debut due to lack of match practice...expect him to play vrs lincoln city tuesday.

murtagh could debut

mc tiernan is a doubt after missing last week

new prices and a healthy lead at the top of table should bring a big crowd...hopefully pushing 2000

prediction:1-0...3 points,ill be happy

2-0 to rovers.

Where's the pre match pints lads?
Judging by our usual travelling support we'll have a whopping 8 supporters
on our bus! We still managed to outsing every home crowd we've come up
against though :D

knowing our fans it should be 8 of ye singing vrs 12 of us singing

theres a pub across the road from the stadium..and an off licence...and another pub down the road from the stadium..... :D

Athlone will come to get a point and so will defend from the start.
If we can get an early goal(before 20mins)they will have to come at us and then the floodgates will open.....
Im going for 3-0 Rovers,Alvarez gatting at least one,

3-1 Rovers with Athlone getting a goal in the last minute.

We should get into Sligo early so will probably have a
few in town before tipping out to O'Neills and Harloes.

I was talking to Murtagh in Monaghan and he was saying that he will be playing against Athlone, he was supposed to be able to play against Mons but the league rules were that only players on loan could of played but he is definetely eligible to play this Saturday ;)

Good stuff,looking forward to seeing him play but where will he fit in.
Would Sean change a winning team.......
Is Steve Feeney going to be fit after his injury against Monaghan.
Will McT be back?

This game has nothing to do with you shower, so, would you and your obsession with crowds ever fcuk off back to your own forum. You are really p1ssing me off. Who gives a fcuk how loud ye are? This topic is about Sligo Rovers v Athlone town. Get it.

I'm going to go for a 3-0 win to Rovers. With Feeney to get another goal that he didn't get his foot to:D

Sorry, I was in Israel so couldn't get to that game.

Mad As Cootes - Independent Athlone Town Supporters Club
was only founded in mid April so I only meant since then.
