Some night between ourselves and Longford though. We put in a very good performance barring the first 20 minutes and everyone in the ground nearly was refreshing extratime for the updates. Every game now is huge with Longford just about hanging in there at the top.

Found this a bit strange myself, there are 13 games to go not 3

Disappointed, but not surprised by the behaviour of the Shamrock fans last night. It would seem none of them went to Poland as self proclaimed "best fans in the world" would never spit on opposition players & there was no fields of athenry when 4-0 down & being outclassed

Good win for us last night. Is anybody else going to step up and start scoring a few goals for us? We are ridiculously reliant on North at this stage and he's sure to get a knock at some stage.

Fantastic news from Dalymount. I remember watching the Shamrock v Bohs game on TV early in the season. You would never have said in a million years that that Bohs team would put 4 goals past Shamrock. Callaghan has done a great job there. Shows you what can be done on a small budget if players are motivated properly. It also shows what can happen when you fill your team with too many LoI has beens who are trading on yesterday's glories.

What did it pay? Don't invest it on Shamrock to lift the title with the 15/8 Powers had up this morning, where did they get that from, their Loi compilers wouldn't price sausages in Lidl.

League table as it now stands. Main shock is that after last night, Shams have conceded the most goals outside the bottom 3!

Best odds atm =

Sligo R 5/6 (lads)

Shams 12/5(pp)

St.Pats 9/2(Bwin)

Drogs 40/1(lads)

Derry 50/1(lads)

The rest = Make your own odds

Shamrock have some classy element in their support.

I only had a fiver on (gutted), returned just under €75.

I was very close to sticking a few quid on Sligo to win 2-0 and North to score first, lucky I held back on that one.

Nice one Sammy:D

Another gem from the match delegate last night as the teams come out - 'Are At-low-en in white' as we came out in our traditional blue and black. :rolleyes:

Oh, forgot to mention, going by all reports, yet another shocking penalty decision going against us. It's almost a weekly event now at this stage.

I have to say that I was at that end of the ground for the second half and did think it was a penalty tbh.

The only thing remotely contraversial about that penalty call was whether it was inside the box or not. I certainly thought it was inside, but it was close. MacBride's behavior afterwards was crazy.

And the equalizer was scored in normal time.

4:20 in... Pretty apt...

That's insane. How did you manage to go look for that? Never knew that Spike did that.

Spike was a life long SlIgo Rovers man so I suppose the dig was against Shamrock was inevitable, what a lovely little film though, thanks very much for the link.
