Talk fkn english and stop with the crapola !!
Scoreline flattered us last night, should've been more for Sligo. Stating the obvious I know but they were much the better side. One things for sure it'll be the last time Michael O'Neill is in charge of Rovers in the Showgrounds. A little aside, the pitch was in fantastic nick there again. Fair play to whoever looks after it, especially to hold up as well with all the rain.
that's fit sure, is it? Think you're being a bit premature there.Quote:

Corry bombed forward to cross it for the first(still reckon out defence should have stopped it. Neat finish by Marshall.
Then UCD were comfortable for the start of the second half. Couldn't honestly see how we were going to back into it. Boom, Lafferty header and we are back in the game. Then absolute disaster from Doherty to put them 2-1 up again. We starting throwing the kitchen sink at it then, Greacen gets the equaliser.
Then another Zayed miss from 6 yards out. To be fair UCD could have nicked it with one of the post near the end, whilst we had one ruled out for offsider which I think was dodgy.
UCD players that stood out of for me: Corry and Harding.
Back to the Bowl on Monday.

Cheers for that, Hoopy. hell of a game and, despite all the yellows, played in a good spirit so, well done, Champs, for that. As to the pitch, the guy who did the pitches at the last World Cup is from Sligo (George Mullan) and he advises so the difference is huge from the time when Nutsy was describing it as 'a farmers field'.Quote:

Happens after every game Shams lose. Fans are fickle, there were people calling for Cook's head at various stages last year and even this year.
In fairness though, given the strength and depth of the squad he has assembled, they should be top by a good margin by now.
Every time I've seen Shamrock Rovers on telly its been nearly a different team. Well up front and a few changes in midfield anyway. Sometimes you can have too big of a squad trying to keep everyone happy. Just look at St.Pats, they seem to have a pretty settled team and its paying off.
If they get a settled 11 I think Shamrock Rovers will go on to win the league by a good few points but until then they will drop points here and there and give the other clubs incentive.
Gary Rogers unbelievable 93rd minute save last night

I would be totally shocked if we didn't win the league but imop it would cover a multitude as far as O'Neill is concerned.Quote:

Mind you Ndo was not as good as the tv lads were saying as he mispassed several times. Alan Kirby was the stand out player for me and deserved his standing ovation near the end but Sligo were the more passionate side and this was confirmed by the way they all piled on top of each other when the second went in. Blinkhorn wound Sives up something chronic and Doyle has the potential to be a very good player at this level whilst possibly making Sligo some money if this does happen. Buttimer was very good apart from not giving a penalty to both sides. Very good atmosphere generated by both sets of fans by the way and it sounded good on the telly - well done for braving the elements.
2nd.:-D
1st! :P
wooo-hoooooooooooooo
4-0. I dunno what to make of Harps now.

Anyone at the game will understand, what a legend.
Pretty good summation - except the bit in bold suggests you didn't see much of him over the second half of last season, when he was dispossessing opponents for fun.Quote:

Also you're dead right about not seeing much in the 2nd half of last season or any 2nd half of a season as RTE seem to stop showing matches later on apart from the cup final. FWIW Sligo could push for the title but only if they work as hard as they did the other night - the psychological win over Shamrock Rovers should raise any lack of belief some players might have had, as the skill, attitude and togetherness is there. It is now over to the management of Sligo, Shamrock Rovers and St.Pats and barring injuries the strongest management team will see their side over the line - because if any of those were a lot better than the other two plus Derry then they'd be running away with it - and no team is.
A good won for the mons but made easy by the sending offs
Cork 2 Blues 3. First time I properly enjoyed a match since October. Caretaker manager Paul O'Brien is having the Dalglish Effect. Massive improvement in team spirit, attack-mindedness and overall quality. Still not getting promoted, but things are a lot brighter than they were a month ago.
This time last week Shams were 2/5 for the leauge.Now double that price @ 4/5,with Pats 100/30 and Sligo 4/1 .....

F/T @ The Carlisle grounds : Bray W 1 DundalkFC 5 (Keith Ward got the 5th.)
The 5-1 did not flatter Dundalk tonight, but does not tell the full story. With Bray down to 10 men after only 30 minutes with Joe Kendrick's red card and concession of a penalty, it was always going to be an uphill struggle to get themselves back into the game - but they certainly gave it a go and were unlucky not to equalise before Quigley completed his first half hatrick.
Even at that Bray continued to make chances and the match was still alive before Mark Griffin scored the fourth - thats his 6th goal in only 9 starts.
MOTM performance from Mark Quigley, who is in exceptional form lately, with Griffin, Bolger and Ward also doing well.
With 13 goals scored in the last 3 games, Friday night against Bohs cannot come quickly enough.
