expect this to be a tough game, hopefully the injuries clear up but at least this season we have cover in every position, a win would be a great result but expect a draw

Would be more than happy with a point from this one but would be hopeful we might grab a one nil win:). Id like to see John Dillon playing some role tonight, was really impressed with him after the cliftonville game and would definitely provide a bit more creativity.
tough game....i hope Brush,Ryan and Amond make it and Ventre doesnt(unless at full back)...with a footballer in midfield i'd be more confident of a result.dont like seeing us play a rooter in central midfield..BRAINS over brawn everytime please.
Hope he starts tonight.Quote:

A draw would be an excellent result.
I'd probably take a draw from this one, but while a win wouldn't make up for the Cup Final heartache it'd be great to come away from Morton with all 3 points!
""The Showgrounds is a great place to play when it's full like that, and that's what you want, as a player, a big gate for a big game against someone like Shams," added O'Grady, who follows the proud Sligo tradition -- it's bred into them -- of only referring to their own club as 'Rovers' and calling the Dublin side 'Shams'."
I do like the "shams" comment...proper order!

Definitely, it was doing my nut in the way the lot of them on MNS last week kept going on about 'Rovers' as if it only applied to the Dubs whilst we're just Sligo. It's always been that way so I know I should be over it by now but it just gets on my tits! Good on ya ConorQuote:

Best I can find
fingal one up
oneill again
1.1 almond great
anyone got commentary on game
There can't be too long left now. A draw would be a good result.
1- 1 not too bad
a good result and two good points after two tough games. Better start then last year anyway!
Happy enough with a point. Fingal are a decent team and will beat a lot of teams out in Santry this year. We were poor in the 1st half and were lucky enough to go in level at the break. Ventre and Ryan struggled to get to grips with the 3 man Fingal midfield. The 2 new full backs started off shakey enough, but improved in the 2nd half.
O'Neill turned Keane inside for their goal and took it really well. Was glad that Amond got on the scoresheet. It will improve his confidence, after missing a similar chance in the 1st half. Our goal must have been the only mistake, by the big lad Paisley for Fingal, as he dominated Blinkhorn throughout. We played much better after scoring without creating a lot.
For all Blinkhorn's work up front, he doesn't provide a goal threat. We could do with another option up front, preferably someone with a bit of pace. McCabe gave the ball away a lot on the right wing. Dillon looked promising when he came on, even if he too gave away the ball in bad positions a couple of times.
A win against Galway next week, following these 2 draws, would represent a decent start to me.
