Tickets will now be on sale outside the ground before the game.
The FAI backed down from their bizarre dictat and neutrals can now come along and watch us hammer the filth.
15 Leagues and 24 Cups.... :oQuote:

Though I'd take the most boring of matches if the result was right. Following on from backing Bohs to beat Shels 2-1 last Friday, I'm going for 2-0 for us ;)
TV money works out at €5k for the 'home' side and €2.5k for the away side to the best of my knowledge.
I'd be confident enough of a Bohs win after our win last week against Shels. As far as I can make out a lot of the Bohs players will have played in this derby before: Rice, Byrne, Caffo, Harkin, Ward etc. but a lot of the Rovers team are young and have maybe one or two who have played in this game before. This may stand against Rovers or the young team they have might be energised by the atmosphere.
Suffice to say it is a big derby match and the only opportunity we have of meeting each other this year so despite Rovers having a 1st Division side it could be close enough.
The Bohs side? I'm assuming that both McGuinness and Farrelly are suspended for this one and with Hunt out and presuming Leech isn't cup tied I'd say the team will look something like;
---------------------O'Brien--------------------
Rice--------Ferguson------Caffery------Byrne
Harkin------Joxer-------Heary----------Ward
-------------Devlin------Leech-----------------
Needless to say I can't Fücking wait for the match and at least common sense prevailed regarding the availability of tickets.
C'mon de Bohs!
:D Keep it coming.Quote:

Why won't Farrelly be playing? + Hunts back in full training!Quote:

apparently the fai have backed down and tickets are on sale on the night now
We beat $h€l$ without them both.Quote:

Nobody can predict the outcome of a Rovers-Bohs game, ever. You can't predict it in the league, so you certainly can't predict it in the cup in a car-crash style, one-off grudgematch.
dfx is right,they are expected to win as they are all full-time professionals in the premier and have just beaten this years champions but I think this will suit us as you couldn't blame them for being cockey especially against a first division team full of kids.As illustrated in the recent programs,our boys are up for this game and know the importance of it to the fans and if they go into the game with the right attitude I think we will win
The Bold bit is news to me.Quote:

nshoop, you're talking more rubbish. Shels may be favourites but they're behind Derry with a game more played so they're hardly a shoe in for the league.
Let's be realistic, they've taken 1 point from their last 6. Not all their opponents cave in against them like UCD, Waterford, and Sligo. Unlike other leagues, the NL Premier Division is fiercely competitive, which usually goes down to the wire, and rarely is the title retained.Quote:

Sure it's just like the way we were supposed to collapse in the second half of last season. "Any weekend now, the run's gonna come to an end...."Quote:

The most important aspect of this game for us is that it provides a much needed and well deserved break from the monotony of Division One football. If we even come close to creating an upset it will be a bonus. I think our players realise that they are not under the same kind of pressure a Rovers side normally would be in a game like this. They are a fantastic young squad with a great attitude. We've nothing to loose and everything to gain here. Obviously none of us want to see us get a hiding but, thankfully, our defense is very strong (six goals conceeded in 22 games isn't bad, regardless of the quality of the opposition). My only concern is if we fall behind early on, as I just can't see any way back into the game if we do. We simply simple don't have enough quality in two thirds of the pitch so I just don't know where the chance are going to come from. But as mypost says, the longer it stays 0-0 the greater our chances - it's the Cup, so you never know. That said, if I had to call it now I'd go for 1 or 2-0 to Bohs.
:ball: TICKETS WILL BE ON SALE OUTSIDE TOLKA PARK ON THE NIGHT :ball:
That rumour has been doing the rounds since last night, but still no mention on our website:confused:

We went behind early to Bohs in the away games last season, and took 4 points from 6. Given the nature of the match, and our record at Fortress Tolka, I won't regard it as a shock if we win.Quote:

are you for real?
or should that be reel as you were obviously born with a fishing rod in your hand. classic wum.
do you honestly believe that shels are too good for this league??
they are the football equivilant of diet coke.
kinda sugary and make you burp but ultimatley take the copper of pennies.
Who's as good as them?They have a great defence with hawkins and heary,hawkins out being the reason they lost to the scum,fantastic midfield,ndo is top-class,cahill has really found his place and is brilliant on the wing and what can you say about their strikers,absolutely lethal.I'm sorry but when shels are at full stenght they can hammer anybody,it's quite scary but understandable as they had all the cash and it's finally paying dividends.Quote:

Eh,no please try againQuote:
