1 all full time. No good for either team
1-1 ft
Good man John Russell.:highfive:
If your name was Jack, I'd throw you a bone.
Good result for us tonight, hopefully we can capitalise on Friday, Might even catch Bohs now and finish second
As said earlier a bad result for both although id imagine bohs were the happier to get the point in the end. Wind dictated the 1st half with bohs playing with it although we created a good few chances in first half hour. Bohs had a few bits and pieces of pressure without really creating anything and then Quigley buries a free kick which should have never been given and our keeper will be disappointed with not having saved. I didnt have a great view of the sending off which to me looked harsh but if brennan did kick out at him he only has himself to blame. When we scored after a period of sustained pressure i taught there was no way we wouldnt go on to win the game but Bohs probably had their best spell for bout 10 mins after we scored. For the last half-hour it was again all us with blinkhorn missing a great chance and Russel nearly heading a winner in the injury time but was a little disappointed with the amount of clear cut chances we created after scoring.
Wouldn't be overly disappointed if I was a Bohs fan. A point still gives some hope whereas a loss it would have been game over for sure. Always disappointing to get a man sent off and then lose points though.
I would also say that Cook, like any ambitious manager, is in the job primarily to do the best for himself and by extension the club. If he makes the right decisions, the club does well. Any changes he made for the Bohs game last season (although I disagreed at the time), were to give himself and his team the best shot at success ie to ensure we won our last league game. I would have thought he could have played a full strength team in both but it paid off for us by staying in the PD. That's why he's the manager and if it had backfired he may not be in his job today.
The fortunes of Shamrock Rovers would have no influence on him whatsoever imo.
Thanks Sligo.
Some Bohs claiming Brennan was hard done by but decide for yourself ...

thanks Mario. It looks to me as if Ballastdesigns is either holding Brennans leg or that Brennan has gone in so hard that he has put his foot right through Ballastdesign's thigh splitting it almost in half... but decide for yourself.
Easy mistake, I think you'll find that that new lad we signed during the Summer Transfer Window is actually Ballast Signs.Quote:

*que more of the model clubs crying and whining.
If you want a laugh you should read the shams ultras forum before the match yesterday with all their conspiracy theories
There was a great conspiracy there about the cup semi final draw the other day (was linked on the Pats forum). A guy said his sister (or similar) worked for Ford and they didn't want Pats in the cup final because we're sponsored by Nissan. Apparently they forced us to take down a huge nissan banner that we had up at the corner of the 2 stands. Which might be true except we took that banner down 18 months ago ;)Quote:

EG..."The fools on Junkie/Gypo/Homeless/bitter/Web are saying ....(insert some ridiculous rumour here):rolleyes:.
Very good point Rasputin.So going by your take on things Sligo finished in the bottom half of the table sweating on your premier division existence during the last few games due to your own "ineptitude".And to bring the thread into the present,its through our "ineptitude" that we are 3 points clear,with a game in hand!Quote:

Judging by this photo, if anyone should have sent off it was Keane for jumping in with both feet off the groundQuote:

I clearly said only one guy posted the rumour. I don't think I even implied that anyone at the Rovers site believed it so you can slimba wee bit down off that high horse of ours on this issueQuote:

There really seems to be a need to spell out every word on here in baby step form:rolleyes:
Exactly, you can't, just as you can't judge an incident solely on the other photo, they are obviously taken form the same incident, just pointing out how two photos from same incident can appear to show two different things, that's all.Quote:

Original question answered. I'll hold my hands up, I didnt think Cooke would play as strong a side as he did after I read the original news feed yesterday morning, so all credit to him for that.
Its cook!Quote:

Hardly a stupid question given the similar circumstances from last years title run-in,also the original report linked mentioned sligo resting players.And as the OP mentioned Cooke has form in this regard-Hardly "womens intuition"(I didn't even realize GGAJD was a woman-You learn something new every day!)Quote:

theres no such thing as a stupid question. Just stupid posters.
in fairness, it should have waited until at least the team was announced and not on the back of some press release... Osam was doubtful for 20 years.
A bohs fan!....speaking out against a "living in the now" philosophy;)Quote:

Nor are they wind ups in any way.
If you or others have an issue just report any posts that don't fall under the rules and I'll fall on my sword.
I love the way Shams are still harping on about the team we played in Dalymount last season.
Here's the team we played in Tolka against Shams last season - only 4 of that team started the cup final (Brush would have started only for injury).
Sligo Rovers: 1 Richard Brush; 2 Jason Noctor, 3 Shaun Holmes, 4 Alan Keane, 5 Ger Rafter; 6 Christopher Kelly, 7 Brian Cash, 8 Romauld Boco, 9 Matthew Blinkhorn, 10 Rob Turner, 11 Dean Marshall. Substitutes not used: 12 Rafael Cretaro, 13 Gavin Peers, 14 Danny Keohane, 17 Ciaran Kelly.
And here's the team we played in Dalymount - 6 of that team started in the Cup Final.
SLIGO ROVERS : Schlingermann; Boco, Camano, Keane, Kendrick; Marshall, O’Grady, Meenan, Ryan (Cash, half-time), Doyle; Turner.
Final score in both games. 3-1
The old saying about these things evening themselves out over the course of the season comes to mind
As opposed to the model club who live in the past but conveniently forget about bankruptcy, non payment of creditors etc.Quote:

I've moved on now-A good result for us but only if capitalized on by us tomorrow.
The term "model club" was,to the best of my knowledge given to SRFC by other clubs fans because when we got our house in order very few,least of al, any of the title contenders since our take over.The harping by the fans of SRFC may not have been what you/they wanted to hear but recent history surely has proven them/us right!Quote:

Why this period is not a shameful one for me is because when we seen just how deep the idiots who were in charge of the club at the time had us buried we decided to do something about it.This not only involved taking over the running of the club but in doing so effectively relegating ourselves by coming clean with the books.
No Hoop can dismiss the debacle that went on before our take over but then no supporter of any club can seriously fail to admire what has gone on since.
The model we have adopted is the ONLY one that can really work in this league where very few people care about their local team but those who do care more than they really should.Of course bohs although being probably the pioneers of the members model in this country have managed to make a balls of it but this shouldn't deter others from following such a course.
IMO all clubs should have a members club independant of the current owners for 2 reasons.
(1)The help out the club if they are in need of financial support,or
(2)To act as a warchest to take over their club should the suppport base become unhappy with their current owners.
As for conveniently forgetting important times in history-Just how much did bohs give the FAI for the home of Irish football in the 80's-Dont hear much about that one any more!!
One last point-Something tells me bohs current creditors will be doing well to recieve 4% over the coming close season so maybe that'll be one less broken record for you to churn out when Rovers occasionally are given the credit they deserve
No offence to you btid1, but you've been handed your ar$e there. :eek:
