Great save from brushy !!
Phew.
Same again in the second half would be mighty. Goin' to be a case of the Alamo in the 2nd.
Did well in that half, didn't they? Ok, a couple of good saves and a bit of luck, but fair play.
I watched a bit of it on Channel 5, and the English commentators were generally impressed, even if their habit of referring to them as "Shamrock" did grate a bit.
There was a classic Graham Taylor moment: "I like the look of this lad, Rice. He's always available to support his teammates, and he does a lot of good one and two touch stuff. Players like him never get the recognition they deserve. Oh, except he does. He was their player of the year last season." Genius :)
Isn't that their name??Quote:

I have never heard them referred to as "Shamrock" by anyone in my 35 years of watching LOI.Quote:

Aye but you're speaking as someone following from Ireland.Quote:

Great for the league but sh1t on my pocket lol
Edit: Spurs at minus 2 goals of course lol
I wasn't having a pop at them. In England, every team that I can think of that use the "Rovers" epithet, attaches it to a place name e.g. Doncaster Rovers, so they often drop the "Rovers" in common usage. It doesn't work so well when its a club name rather than a place name. "Shamrock" just sounds weird. They aren't to know that we don't drop the "Rovers" of course.Quote:

It was so sweet while it lasted.
Phew, got worried there for a sec. Now, time to take the lead...
Arsebiscuits.
Pish!
Balls. 2-1
Balls...hope the floodgates stay shut.
Thought Pat Sullivan was fouled in the opposite corner. That was a little harsh.
3-1 :(
3 in 6 minutes...this could get ugly.
Will Chris get booed when he comes on?
were the rovers fans singing ""we're gona win 4-3"?
how many are they if theyre silencing the spurs fans at 3 1 down?!!
4000 apparently.
Fair jews to them- LOLQuote:

Well done Rovers, hope they can kick on now and get a few results and make a good hand of it.

North London is sh!te London is sh!te full stop.would be class anywhere else.anyway in Tue Irish centre now on pretoria road goose craic.even if stutts and pineapple stu started helping themselves to a mates client dos food.
Anyway unreal atmosphere.best ive ever experienced.
Thought third goal was very unfair free on Sullivan.and def Peno at the end. Fair play to rovers did loi proud and anyone associated in anyway with football in Ireland
TV3 just said 6,000 :shock: This number could grow to the White Hart Lane stadium capacity before the weekend is out.Quote:
