Didnt realise things were as tight as they were in the FD, I can't see Limerick not winning it (they had a wobble and still top), but Waterford have given themselves a great chance now of making the play off...............wouldnt that be interesting if it was v us, after the controversial match back in 1997, then again we did have a play off match since then, the 'no point playing' home & away games in 2006.............maxi-gate end to the season.Quote:

If only we could cut out stupid schoolboy defensive errors we'd be much higher up the table than we are at present.
Thats pretty bad actually, obviously needs to be looked at.Quote:

City one up v Sligo ..... From extratime

That goal came out of the blue. Ian Turner breaks and his shot gets a deflection and heads in past Gary Rogers in goal. Silence here.
Both teams ....

City two up now, Vinny Sullivan with the second
1-2 now, Quigley straight from a free kick. From the sounds of the game so far, it'll be difficult for Cork to hang on.
Someone put a poodle on Quigleys head as well :)Quote:

That will do.
Was always going to be a tough test to get three points against an in form Cork side and being two nil down with only around twenty minutes left you have to be happy enough.
Good job sligo, put a tenner on ye at 6/5 for win/draw when ye were 1-0 down
It was a smashing game of football tonight in the showgrounds
Excellent game of football alright. We've played a hell of a lot worse this season and won. Well on top for pretty much all the game but Cork were very dangerous on the break.
Strangest part of the night was Quigley and North having a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide who got to take the penalty. Quigley missed a sitter right at the end as well. How he wasn't started ahead of Dillon I don't know at all. Although he did give the ball away for their second goal.
That could be a huge point for the bitters come the end of the season, especially as it's only three days after a long European trip.
Obviously Quigley won but what did he pick?Quote:

Not scissors anyway, he hasn't seen that in a while.Quote:

Hats off to Mick Cooke and Drogheda United. They still seem to be tipping away under the radar without many talking about them.
Who considered it the best assembled LOI team ever? I think most Rovers fans at least acknolwedged it was weaker than last year's side. Sullivan is back now, but he, Stevens and Sheppard were easily the best players in their position in the league when they left.
I think they had to do it twice. Presume they must have picked the same first time.Quote:

It's going to stretch our squad, but things are looking better with Connolly in there and PMilly showing he's good for 90.
Funny enough, we had Rovers legend Mick Leonard on the pitch at half-time. My last memory of seeing him playing in the Showgies was in a game where we came from two down to draw 2-2 with Cork Alberts, with Mick hitting the equaliser past Alex Ludzic.

Quigleys goals and miss
Plenty but I'm not going to go looking for every comment. It was across a few different boards also. It wasn't Shamrock Rovers fans by the way it was fans from most other clubs. Some top players left but also some very good replacements came in. Regardless of who is gone I still think a return of 6 wins is shocking and no one expected it. A lot on this thought ye would be challenged for a while but end up running away with it.Quote:

Irrespective of the "best LOI squad/team ever (an argument/debate/discussion best had over a few post match pints :cool:) there is no doubt the current shams team have underachieved so far this season. when I have seen them this season they look very disjointed and not as good as the sum of the parts. Constnt changes (especialy in defence) and some dodgy new recruits have bled them of any consistency on the pitch. Some less than impressive team/tactics selections have also not helped Stephen Kennys case.Quote:

I'm not worried about Drogheda. Once we finish above Pat's we'll win the league.Quote:
