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
