So as the season nears the end just wondering what was your most memorable moment so far this season
ive a few
1.my three year old daughter going bannanas when bohs scored against ka Ghent on her first european night in the home of Irish football
2. our last minute winner against bray (although this should not have been followed by that ridiculous pitch invasion )
3. j.p kelly's first goal against athlone in the cup
The Whole 90mins Away to Glentoran
Has to be the two goals v Shels in the league cup semi.
It's been a fairly quiet season at Rovers:
- Supporter boycott of home games
- Coup against the directors
- High Court appointed accountant running the club
- Fans takeover
- Manager getting in a punch-up with a rival director
- Placing our entire squad on the free transfer list
- Player facing deportation
- Seeds of civil war between rival supporter factions
- Couple more punch-ups
- ERU on patrol at matches
- 8 point deduction
- GAA trying to rob our new stadium
- Manager spreading lies in the papers
In between all this, we managed to fight a relegation battle, beat Bohs and Shels, and see Paddy McCourt score three of the best Rovers goals ever.
More of the same next year, hopefully.

For the record I thought the pitch invasion was funny when it happened (an isolated incident at the time) but that's a whole 'nother debate I don't want to get into.
P.S. I've never invaded the pitch during a game
1. Atmosphere away to glens
2. performance home to glens
3. bohs at home
but best of all, CITY IT WASNT OVER THE LINE!!
High Point - Tarzan's winner Vs. St. Pats (Bray won 1-0) his celebration was priceless.
Low Point - Loosing 1-0 to Bohs in Dayler, we played them off the pitch and any other day we would have scored 5 or 6 at least
(1)Coming from 2 goals down against Shels in the Carlisle and draw 2-2 to wreck their chances of ever winning the league this season.
(2)Our first game and first win of the season against Pats.
(3)Our draw in the x, not many have gone there and done that...
(4)Losing 3-0 to Drogheda and singing for all of 35mins non-stop...
(5)As Roo said, The uncles goal against Pats. Talk about a celebration!!! I was nearly on the pitch....
so not much happening this season with rovers then...Quote:

Wrecking Shels' chances of winning the League Cup with two injury time goals. :D
And Conan's equaliser in the League Cup Final. UCD don't get very many moments when 30-odd fans will go absolutely mental at a goal (think Robbie Griffin v. Drogheda in the year we went down was the last time), but that goal felt good. Until Podge McWalter scored three minutes later...
Last minute winner to beat Doolin's Drogheda away from home was also nice!
No No... That game was the pivitul moment when Ollie, Fenlon the players and You guys knew that the title wasmslipping ever so slwly away from you. Sure we drew with Cork a week after you guy's drew with UCD so what are ya on about!! They were the exact same...Quote:

I realised for sure we werent going to win it after our second game against Rovers.Despite the fact we won 2-0,it was all about the performance,if Gough had scored the peno in that game,i think it might have ended very differently
1. Sean Flannery's goal away to Monaghan
2. Sean Flannery's goal at home to Galway
3. The atmosphere in the Showgies against St.Pat's in the cup
4. Beating St.Pat's in the cup.
5. Been robbed against CHF in Dublin by poor refereeing and diving cheaters:mad:
6. Drawing to Malahide at home in the cup:o
1The 2 games against Cork that we should have won.:mad:
2 The atmosphere created by us against Sligo in the showgrounds.
That's it...pretty bad season:(
Was waiting for you to pop up:rolleyes: :D :pQuote:
