That is pretty much what I was thinking. They have a seriously cocky crowd for obvious reasons this year but their memories are short. We have a decent record against them in the Showgrounds in recent years apart from this season.
They will be up for it. Their next two games could put them well ahead of Bohs. We must be up for it too. You could argue we have even more to play for.
I for one would love to see them **** themselves for a while anyways! And I'd still prefer to see Bohs win the league than those ferret heads.

Traditionally we have seen shams as our biggest rivals but i would like to see them win the league, after we beat them of course. They are a well run club owned by fans, get great crowds and appear to live within their means unlike bohs. Like it or not they are the model club now and good luck to them.

And they also managed to successfully pull off a glamour fixture with Real Madrid, something all the people who atteneded may never experience in their lifetime again.

I have great admiration for the way shams are run, particulary the commercial and marketing side of things i.e The Glenmalure Suite, season tickets and their merchandising. But aside all that, I absolutely hate them.

Either you're joking, or want me to list off the injustices we've suffered against Sligo in recent years. I don't know which. ;)

I was never more serious in my life about refs favouring Shams, still remember the dreadful decisions that were made in your favour at Tolka in the Cup a year or so ago when we played you. Obviously you were not there or you would be be keeping your head down now. Can only be grateful that Bleak Winter is not in charge of this one although the appointed one seems to be no better. What I am saying is I want to see a cracking game between two good teams with no messing from the officials.

Vital game this one. If we beat Shamrock and get result in Inchicore, we would be only 2 points behind Galway going into the game with them!

Come on Rovers!

You do know we're playing Cork before we're playing Pat's? Or are you just ruling out getting anything down in TC?

Wouldn't rule it out. A draw isn't unrealistic anyway.

I only mentioned Pats and Galway becuase we're not going to reach Cork. We can reach Pats and Galway. Don't think it'd be the end of the world if we got nothing in Cork.
