I didn't hear no fat lady either ;)
Good craic down in Longford tonight. Not a fantastic game of football, but a really tense game all the same. Poor crowd, but still decent atmosphere for how low the crowd was. Delighted to take 6 points out of 6 in Flancare this season though.
6 games unbeaten. Haven't been able to say that in a while either.
The week in pictures .... from extratime.ie
Big games tonight. Shamrock Rovers have picked up a bit but if Sligo beat them tonight that momentum is gone again- they really need to win to entertain any hopes of taking the title.
St Pats could do with a win in Cork but there's usually an element of hangover after Euro games.
A couple of draws and Drogheda are the big winners.
A win for Sligo and Cork would see the title become a 2 horse race. Huge night. Pats need to win, then we can starting thinking about what score suits us best in Tallaght.
any streams for the battle of the 2 rovers?
One of the screens in paddypower in Fleet St had Sligo down as 'Sligo City'Quote:

Leinster played there on Saturday (by the time you see this I'm sure others will have responded...I'm on the 5 post/5 day thingy).
Cracker of a match so far,settling down a wee bit now but first 25mins were excellent :)
Biggest crowd in Tallaght for a good while. Rovers good first 10 all Sligo since.
Saw it alright. Cheers.Quote:

Brilliant goal by Squiggs,always capable of that.
Great strike. Defence went to sleep. Millien allowed chest down unmarked with 5 defenders around.
According to Extratime, the water sprinklers were turned on in the half of the pitch that Sligo were doing their pre-match warm -up. Really needed that after a night of torrrential rain. Players slipping all over the place now. Presumably SDCC are responsible for this waste of a public utility, as it couldn`t possibly be hoop inspired gamesmanship
Half time analysis from the East stand. Rovers started well with middle 4 playing very narrow and Finn and McCabe finding space. Sligo adjusted their shape to tighten up the centre, Quigley dropped deeper, and suddenly Rovers couldn't keep the ball and had no width. Sligo were happy to let the Rovers full backs take the ball out wide because they were both atrocious and generally just gifted it back to them. Ventre commanding the middle of the park with Millien looking sharp up front and Quigley, Ndo and Boco showing flashes of quality. Too easy for the Sligo centre backs and Ross Gaynor at left back should be the obvious weak point but Rovers haven't got McCabe out running at him at all. Decent game. Restless home crowd.
Thought Finn's goal took a deflection there but they all count,quality game.
