I thought it was an FAI rule too, and even possibly a UEFA or FIFA rule - to stop accusations of players/ teams going easy in games against the permenant club. However, that may be for league games only. Not long to go now either way to be confirmed or not.
Unless the FAI ruling is different as far as I know you can play against your parent club once its in the contract but the FAI seem to be different to everyone else so who knows
missing the game tonight, damn you to hell pv fallons
Just read in the sun that walsh and cowan are defo out but no mention of victor so I take it he's playing
They get more and more condescending on the Rovers forum....please please please Town, pull a performance out of the bag that we've never seen before this season and beat these *****.
Rovers have intermittently seriously screwed up in the past outside the Pale in the cup..
Waterford and Athlone in the 90s, Limerick, Dundalk, very nearly a truly atrocious Athlone side in 2006
Lets hope ye add a crap Longford Town to that list.
We must've lost in the cup at Strokestown Rd before...definitely did at Richmond
Yep I remember that game at Richmond alright, Shane Barrett scoring in ET to win it for us I think. I'd take that again this time around too, only at Tallaght instead of Richmond. :)Quote:

Thank God they boycotted this forum let them live in their own little world were Rovers are a model club that has never seen bad days and their fans have never caused any trouble in.
Were are the Hoop fans been housed tonight anyway? Behind the goals id say is the most likely destination for them.
I'm missing the I party to be at it, C'MON TOWN, beat these w******!Quote:

Fantastic performance from our lads and totally deserved a draw at the very least. We handed them 2 crap goals. Sickened to say the least.
I hope Richie Winter dies roaring what a c**t
Best Town display since we went down I'd say. Great football from the lads on the night and we really should have got something. Nearly all the lads were excellent but special mention to Aidan Roche (first time I'd seen him he was excellent), Mark Salmon who bossed midfield, Michael Lee who seems to play better in every game and the oft maligned Peter Hynes who was tremendous in the lone striker role for me. Michael O'Neill and Trevor Croly were not happy with their lot. Not a bit of bother in the ground or outside the ground either which was good. Aside from a couple of Rovers stragglers apparently giving abuse to some of our native members of the travelling community in town and running when they saw they'd picked on the wrong crowd, that's not really trouble though, just amusing.
Yeah, JP has gone back to play with Newbridge Town....Quote:

A shame at the end that many in the stand seemed more interested in booing the ref than applauding a great performance by our lads. Left a bit of a sour feel to it.
The lads in the stand gave the players a fantastic standing ovation and the players had all gone in before winter left he was a disgrace and should never ref again
yep fans in the stand were a credit, quit finding things to complain about
Anyone know what the attendance was extratime.ie said aprox. 1000 but im not so sure sure there was nly about 200 rovers fans.
