How ironic that the first goal tonight was scored by a man called "Cash".......
Another evening where all players played out of their skins...........that goal and peno shout will make interesting watching on MNS.
It is the first time I saw a linesman leave the pitch before the ref, did you see him fly down the tunnel and not wait for the other officials......obviously felt guilty
robbed AGAIN!!
stone wall penalty before the goal was tapped in. even a drogheda fan said we were absolute robbed
Robbbed
Game of the season til their 3rd goal,ref and lino the Jinks side were terrible.Best of all what Chrissy not killing Maher after geting a pretty nice kick off the ball
very disapointed with the result,
dont care if we would be happy with a draw before the game.
Why we would we be happy with the outcome of that.
By hook or by crook Drogheda were not leaving the Showgrounds with a defeat tonight. The officals were terrible to put it politely.
Rovers were brillaint again and tried to play football on what was the worst condition ive seen the pitch this season
Coleman was clipped when he put the cross in for the disallowed goal, was right in line with it. Definetely dodgy decisions tonight
Why was the goal disallowed in the last minute ? and I agree with red bellied the officials last night were very dodgy.
we played brilliant tonight. i hope to god that we can hold on to that bunch of players and build for next season. do the people of sligo realise how good this team is and the manager we have. its the best football i've ever seen being played in the showgrounds and i'm following the bit of red a long time.i was very dissapointed by the turnout because if we had got a big crowd it would have capped a great week financially. fair play to those who worked so hard to bring the funds in. its a pity that more people would not come to the games. we will have to keep plugging away for our beloved bit o'red until the end of the season so keep the ideas comming along and lets show the manager and team that we want them to stay. also the committe is to be praised for doing trojan work on this occasion i know that there are a few who work harder than others but i feel they are all to be congratulated. we can still generate big interest in the next home game in anticipation of a big crowd so keep the wheels turning lads
"No, she was robbed. They stole her."
I don't know how on earth that was not a penalty at the end. Seamus was chopped down. I can only assume the resulting tap in was offside, but with officials like these, you just don't know.
It's been said time and time again that officials are costing teams points left and right. Maybe we're only complaining right now because it happened to us, but it is a real problem.
Every player played out of their skins last night. Cashy and Raf took their goals brilliantly. Goals for Rovers really are like buses.
You do have to credit Drogheda for not giving up, and the decision to finally play 2 up front worked well for them. O'Brien and Zayed caused us a lot of problems. Fair play to Faz as well for not making a big deal of scoring, and for clapping the main stand at the end.
Felt happy at full time....robbed we may have been, but couldn't be disappointed. It was sensational....
What was the attendance last night ? afaik the home stand was full except for. i'd say there was more than 2000 anyways.
Also, WTF happened to the pitch over the space of the last 3 weeks?
It's gone into complete disrepair!
Yeah its back to a field again. They fell out with the Tubbercurry fellow who was looking after it and he walked.Quote:

the drogheda match reports are known for being so retarded and biased.
I was absolutely devastated at full time last night. We just deserved to win. We have had no luck throughout the season. Who knows how many points we would be on if the opposite were true.
Still though,you had to be proud of the lads last night(finally scoring:D). Look at the spending power of drogheda,the amount and the quality of the players and then look at us,no strikers,we've offloaded so many important players and yet we matched and bettered them! If only that goal at the end wasn't disallowed:(.
Well done to all who were involved in the various fudraisers and to all those who contributed. Sligo rovers will live forever:)
Also highly inaccurate. Apparantly we fielded 10 players, and one of them was called 'Rees'Quote:

Teams line-ups
Sligo Rovers
Brush,Coleman,Butler,Rees,Almieda,O'Grady,Cash,Ventre,Ryan, Cretaro
Who ? :p
I thought we were very unlucky during the week and deserved the 3 points. Seamie i thought was fouled for their peno and then his legs were taken from under him. Then we had a stone wall peno ref played on and O'rady who put it in the net seem to run on to it he looked a mile onside. Fair play to the players they are credit to the club and their profession.
Edit: Nice touch by Faz not to celebrate his goal.

Thrilling game. Scoring Straight after them was a huge kick in the teeth to Drogs and it showed great character from us to come back every time and score when they did. I say that as we still came back and scored after their 3rd, but for brutal Refereeing mistakes we would have won 4-3. Pity.
Great game and well worth the 20euro to anyone who attended that game.
