This 3 at the back is suicidal
3-0. Superb stuff from Cork so far. Three quality goals. Long way back for Rovers now. Don't see it happening.Quote:

Two loud choruses of "**** the FAI" so far. John Boy will not be pleased.
Ha - now " John Delaney, you should be in jail" :D
Definite fines on the way I'd say.
maybe RTE wont show their matches anymore with rovers fans singing **** RTE!Quote:

Decent enough game. We hit the post; Dundalk have had about four penalty calls, of which I'm sure they really should have gotten one, but not sure which.
One of their players I've never heard of got injured and has been replaced by Horgan. So bad tactic on our part there
That's just the half time score of course!
Hope ye knock them out., and Wexford hold on against Derry. Would like to get either team in the semi, assuming we beat Cobh (tempts fate!!!!)Quote:

By the way (2). George Hamilton talking nonsense - nothing like this in the modern era for Rovers ? Just off the top of my head, I've seen Pats beat them 5-0 and 5-1.
It would appear that RTE is the least of Shams problems.
1 all at half timeQuote:

5-0 like what's going on there. Terrible internet on the train means my only source is livescore. Was able to watch afew minutes on the rte player earlier. Even the most optimistic cork fan couldn't of dreamed of this
Cork have been as good going forward as Shams have been bad defensivelyQuote:

Enjoyable game in Belfield. I was impressed with UCD, their centre half (Kuogun ?) was my man of the match. Outstanding game from him. I liked Sloggett as well, reminded me of Paul Corry.
McEleney coming on changed the game for Dundalk. UCD couldn't get to grips with him at all.
As for Tomney. Deary me.
Loads of quality and potential in that UCD side.
Maxi Kouogun was good at centre half, Greg Sloggett (brilliant name for a holding midfielder) also impressed, but I though Gary O'Neill was the pick of a very good team.
Would ye take Kilduff as a swap?
We've got Cork right where we want them now.
I was thinking that alright. Sacrificing the cup to make out ye are rubbish and then catch us out and take the 3 points next week. GeniusQuote:

Fair play to cork, they took their goals well. 2nd goal was a peach. best team we'be played this year, and would be my favourites to do the double this year
This game was probably the end of Bradley's ambitious 3 at the back experiment. the entire back 5 are a mess.
cup games really dont attract the crowds anymore it seems.
There are those that believe that John Delaney should be in jail. I'm couldnt possible comment on whether i believe thats true or not:dunno:
I devastated about the result in Tallaght tonight. I had really hoped to draw an easy opponent in the cup semis.
I doubt he will change, maybe against Cork and dundalk but any other team in the league we can make it work.Quote:

considering you struggled past a team from the division below you, I'd say the other teams in the hat are fancying their chancesQuote:

Credit to the Rovers fans for the great support they gave their side even when 5-0 down, singing until the final whistle.
Don't know what to think after our game, kamikaze defending for Pat's 3rd and we were looking at a hiding. Proud of the second half effort, would have been some feat to get it back to 3-3. Good luck to Pat's in the semi finals
Ramblers have the ingredients for a serious promotion push next season. Just look at the goal scorers yesterday, 2 smashing players. If you can hold onto Ellis on loan from us next season it would be a huge advantage.Quote:

this Ellis for cobh where did ye get him from?Quote:
