Pats 0-2 Rovers

we havent gone away you know!!

looks like trev's less money for premier division football move was a good idea!!:D

queue the pats lads to tell us they arent interested in the lc:D

I was but the manager obviously wasn't with 4 changes (including 2 debuts)

You deserved your win though

Pats are getting alot more exposure these days - two threads in a day that should be sub-forums :confused: :rolleyes: :p

How did Lee Roche play? It was a bit of an odd signing as he'll never be good enough for the EL.

To be fair Dodge 3 of our better players didn't start either. I've seen Pats a few times this season and you seem to be set up just to hit teams on the break with lots of long balls. Like old times :D

And score two goals more than pats, obviously!:D

It would be interesting to see Rovers win this and qualify for the Setanta Sports Cup next season. No doubt Ollie Byrne and Co. would petition to get the rules changed when Shels fail to qualify.

Bit unfair. We've been very good in certain matches, particularly the last 3/4. (Poor in a couple I'll grant you)

Michael Foley and Sean O'Connor are our main footballing threats and they were both missing last night (O'Connor got 25 minutes) and the players that came in weren't up to it.

The kid believed the rubbish that Roddy fed him and thought he was a star in the making. Unluckily for Pats, they fell for it. ;)

We have at least half a dozen better young players in our current squad.....as Pats can vouch for after last night.

I think you'd find half a dozen players better then Roche down in Rinsend park at the weekend. ;) How is David Cassidy doing? He's another I can't see making it. They're 2 players who rarely would have stood out down in Ringsend park.

Doing brilliantly - and proudly sponsored by the Pride of Ringsend SC. Scully's started him at right-full but he does all his best work attacking from out wide on the right. Casso is the real deal, especially in comparison to Lee Roche.

whats the big deal rovers fans are making of Roche?

He seems a nothing player - hasn't got near the first team for pats in any league game. A smashing win for Shamrocks which will do their confidence the world of good in the very tight first division, where the goals have dried up for them of late. Scully could certainly sneak his team in the back door to setanta if future prem opponents dont take the games seriously in the league cup. But I'd strongly fancy say shels to beat them if the draw goes that way.

Pats tried to win last night with the minimum of effort expended so no complaints - the only team trying won easily. Still only League Cup though :p

even when we won the flamin thing you'd be embarressed posting about it :D
