Harps lads, is that new covering on the far side, to the right of the terrace behind the goal? I was there last season and it was uncovered, or am I mixing it up with the side that the camera faces?Quote:

That's Aldi!!!Quote:

Longford - special in so many ways. :)
Better view of the Harps winner. A truly brutal penalty, but despite saving it, Schlingermann really made a balls of it handing it back to O'Connor instead of pushing it to the side.
One thing I must note about last nights game in Finn Park, the IFA referees are lightyears ahead of the FAI referees in terms of taking control of the match. I couldn't have a bad word to say about any of the performances, even down to the 4th official who was in constant contact with the referee from the sideline.
to be honest the way we are going at present it could be up to 15 seasons like up to 99/00. the bad days are here again. Look I will always go to matches especially away but it does test you massively.Quote:

and you think you are getting anything from that game do you? In the cauldron of noise that is The Market's Field?Quote:

Have you ever considered why Shamrock Rovers attract so much mirth and amusement when the regular implosions are happening?Quote:

I have no doubt that Rovers will improve on their current 8th place (especially with Harps, Drogheda and Sligo being the next 3 matches) - but it is always good fun watching the soap opera unfold.
Remember when Bradley called Cork City a "so called big club". That was funny.
Brilliant !!!!!!!!!Quote:

Rovers will be grand. They'll get something out of their games with Sligo and Drogheda.
If they can't get anything out of their game with us they'll be in serious trouble

Not bitter at all, I'm enjoying the impending Rovers meltdown!
It must be very exciting for Harps fans, getting to a cup final so early in the season
Highlights from Waterfords 2-0 win over Wexford. Which saw Waterford extend our unbeaten run to four games. https://youtu.be/MeTR2aUVEBo

Was delighted for Shep he was always one of my favourite players when he was at Rovers, always thought he should score more goals but he gives a lot for the team always.
Don't worry about Rovers we will come back, life is a rollercoaster nothing surer :)
Nil all draw so?Quote:
