Only consolation I can really take is that we were still trying towards the end, and created three or four good openings in the last five minutes, albeit when Sligo were relaxing with the job done. Keep an eye out for the first goal in particular on MNS; would be surprised if it doesn't win Goal of the Month; cross from the left met with a rifle volley into the corner.
Four points from eight games for us since beating Fingal in July. But very tough to recover from a hammering like that ahead of Fingal next week...
Can't see us catching Shams but if we can win in Inchicore on Friday we've a great chance of second. Playing some great stuff.
did the salthill -v- athlone match finish 1-1?
You're on the internet and you can't check that for yourself? :p`
It did, yeah. No scorer details on livescore; Aertel notes "To follow" scored for both sides, but somehow knows that Salthill scored on 34 and Athlone equalised on 46.
Couldn't believe we were that comfortable! A 4-0 win, with Doyle, Peers, Russell and Ryan not starting. I don't think we'll win the league, but we'll have a big say in who does!
Bring on the Shamrock!! :cool:
By the way, who was that I was tlaking to in Mooney's before the match? The lad who had the dream last night where Boco scored a goal and went over to the stand holding up four fingers, maybe to signal a 4-0 win? Barsteward!!! :p
Daryl Horgan for SalthillQuote:

It's always better to be sure...
What a game, great atmosphere and general buzz around the club.
Coming into some great form when we face shams at home in the semi final of the LC, cant wait.
Great result for Rovers last nite. Was expecting a lot more from UCD.
We have a great squad in place. To be able to bring subs on like Blinhorn and Doyle as well as having Ryan and Russell in the stand and Peers on the bench shows the quality of player at the club. Great competition for every position and Cookie is not afraid to make tough decisions and put players that deserve it into the team.
To massive games ahead in the next week, Shams in the semi of the LC and a real six pointer against Pats on Friday nite.
why not, renters have to go to inchicore and i think dalyer as well, few pts easily dropped in those games.Quote:

Find that a strange comment dan. Considering Pats league position surely you should be looking up (win the league) as opposed to down (scraping in to europe). There is still a quarter of the season left too.Quote:

It still will not change my perspective that Pats brand of football this season is pure muck.
Horrible on the eye but effective like I have stated over and over.
Its not to say its talentless but it is certainly not worthy of praise from a spectator perspective.
Between the Setanta Cup and League I would say probably around 4-5 times this season.Quote:

Perhaps not from your perspective, but you don't speak for all spectators. I find it very worthy of praise, if it's done well.Quote:

John Russell and Eoin Doyle were part of the crowd that stuffed UCD last month, I'm glad Russell wasn't available/didn't play and Doyle only played for a little piece.
There are only two Premier Div. grounds where UCd won't pick up points, Richmond Park and The Showgrounds............ and that's where the comparison ends.
I was referring to MNS.Quote:

On the strenght of 3 minute highlight clips which is mainly just goals and chances
Disgusting goals like this presumably?Quote:

Now why did Coughlan never do that for Bray?!
