Nil all draw! :(
I,m a bit gutted by that result. I really thought we could take the 3 points before the game started and going by radio 1 we should have them in the bag! A win against cobh is now essential!
Easy there.Quote:

I thought the match was even enough. Both sides played poorly and had few decent chances. A few of the Sligo fans were booing the players after the match, don't know if they were joking or what.:confused:Quote:

It really really was. Wind and pitch didn't help, but even still. Only consolation I can draw from that game is that youz are as bad as us. And the officials are worse.Quote:

We really need to get a win next week to kick start the season. When was our last league win? September? I can see a big divide developing in the league this year and we have to beat the teams in the bottom 6 to ensure we steer clear of any trouble
for years we would have taken a draw away to ucd so why now be disapointed
ok we need to win but its another point on the table and a clean sheet
season starts now v cobh
The big guy at centre back, Almeida I think, had a decent game. Won everything at the back in the air.
This is critical season for Rovers...we have to be ambitious enough to want to win against UCD especially as we were not far off in the matches aginst Bohs, Drogs and even Pats.Lets keep behind the team.
UCD away is always going to be tough, and never a pretty game to watch, so i wouldn't get too dis-heartened just yet, i would though if we don't get 3 points next week, it was a shocking performance last night but it was a poor night all round, hard for the players to get motivated for the game id say, which i know is no excuse.
That was absolutely terrible,no heart shown except for the couple of players mentioned earlier. We didn't even create chances. I really hope we can pick ourselves up in time for cobh next week otherwise we are in bother. I think we need a target man up front.
Not strictly true. Anto really should have done better with his chance in the first half - considering he was Pat's third-highest scorer last season, he should've done better than just hitting the target. Moore's chip near the end of the 2nd half was quite audacious too!Quote:
We didn't even create chances
Apart from that it was a dire game, as everyone has already said. The exposed nature of the ground doesn't help matters at all, but still. Raf is really coming along on the left wing, and Almeida looks stronger every game. Can't see why Raf was subbed, did Doherty even touch the ball?
same aul ****e at UCD, there always a gritty and tough team to beat...wouldnt hit panic button just yet though.
Almeida and O'Grady were the only ones who half excelled, Seamie and Raf did well too. think its time to drop Faz and Murphy, dont seem to have any interest at all. And i know im not the first to say this but, does Murphy look unfit?
As for Judge...needs a kick in the hole
did any1 else think seamie looked awfully tired or sick? defensively i thought we were ok but apart from raf no forward player did anything. i know cash only played 25 mins but that's the worst i've ever seen him play. anto always seems to fade in 2nd half of games so he mustn't be fit
What's this about 'sitting down at the start' ?
UCD is a soul destroying hole. Second time i've been to see us play them there, and 2 of the worst matches of football i've ever seen in my life.
We were very poor last night, all over. However where we are really struggling, is the fact we have no target man! 2 goals in 4 league games, none of which have been scored by a striker. Our forwards are too similar.
And lads, as bad and all as we were last night, what exactly did booing achieve? 4 games in and some of our fans were booing? Have we turned into Newcastle fans overnight?:rolleyes:
yeah that was stupid alright. Ok they hardly deserve a huge cheer after that performance but there is no point in booing your team off,its pointless.Quote:

no player goes out on the pitch and gives less than 100%, they all do there best. every player on every team does. it just didnt happen last night, simple as
They all do there best?:eek: If that was all our players best last night feo then we should be releasing most of the squad.Quote:

We were very loose at lot of the time. We have serious problems in centre midfield - O'Grady doing all the work chasing all night and left very exposed.
Our home games are of key importance. I think we can give anybody a game at home. We've played St Pats, Drogs and Bohs in our opening 4 games. Very tough for any team. Looking forward to next Saturday - need a performance from the lads and the vital 3 points against Cobh to get us up and running.
there is no point in making excuses for them only 4 tried connor,raf,almada,seamie.that's it and judge he is rubbish he could be descant if he ran for the ball and put his foot in and faz it seems he dos not want to be here.Quote:

I'm all for Rovers til we die attitude but the players[apart from Almeida, O'Grady and Raf] need to put in some effort too.
Belfield is a joke too, never in my life have I seen a steward asking fans to sit down...what's worse was UCD fans actually got a chant going while sitting, quite comical.
Think that's an eL/FAI directive.Quote:

we didnt bother making a scene sure he wouldnt take no for an answer, went out into the rain instead
Was a post of mine deleted or is that just my imagination playing tricks?
Was wondering why yez were out there actually.Quote:

:eek:That's a bit mad. Don't see much wrong with it myself...Quote:
