sligo rovers vrs dublin city..predictions etc

rovers,on a high after once again going 5 points clear at top of 1st division will be looking to extend their lead to 8 points vrs dublin city

city,who are the only team rovers havent beaten this season lost to kilkenny at the weekend so will be looking to get their challenge back on track

this game will go a fair way to deciding who get promoted this season...a win for rovers could send them drifting away on their own,leaving the others 2 go for 2nd,a win for dublin and they and 3 others will get a huge boost in their attempts to catch the league leaders

prediction :0-0....it'll do...it will be a battle and a lot depends on connors tactics and forward selection..

i'll go for a draw. 1-1.

2-0 win for Rovers. I hope the red army travel in huge numbers for this game it's our biggest game of the season so far

2-1 Rovers. Wont be able to go to the game as I am going to New York on holiday the very same day.

Hope to go to this one.
Going for a 1-1 draw

Dublin City 2-3 Sligo Rovers

2-1 to Rovers with Saint Paul and Kupuno getting on the score sheet. Itll be a real battle though with us getting through by the skin of our teeth. I feel Connor will be pivital in this game.

3-2 to rovers,mc t(2) browne(1) :D

Oh ye of little faith.
Rovers to win 4-0...........yes 4-0.McTiernan back with a bang bagging a Hat Trick.

:ball: 1-1 DC very strong on thereown patch and we know they have probaly the best back 4 in the division,we need to be patient a draw would be a good result for us also the referee will need to be strong in this one and not be influnced by dermot and co. 1-1.

Whatever you are taking I want some :eek:
it's a hard one to call but I think 4:0 to Rovers is a joke.

I reckon Dublin by 1, maybe 2:1. Injuries are our biggest problem.
A draw is more likely but this is a must win for the Dubs.

maybe 2-1 rovers.the team i would put out would be:

O Hara
Raf
Burns
McNamara
Low
O Donnell
Murtagh
O Grady
Faz
Flannery
McT

dublin need to win so i expect them to really go for it.thats why i've put murtagh in the centre instead of feeney.murtagh offers us more defensively but is still good going forward.McT is a must.i think we are going to score on the counter attack and we will need the pace of faz,o donnell and st.paul to do this.pace of McT on the counter would have more chance of getting us a goal or two than having the two big men up there.sean over paul brown cos he works harder and has been excellent all season.

Neither team is firing on all cylinders at the moment, so I’m going to predict a painful to watch 1-1 draw.

Having not being able to see much of the rovers due to living in dublin, I can't predict the result, but hopefully rovers will create a nice gap for themselves at the top of the table, a win or a draw for rovers would go down well.

Can't wait for thursday... come on the rovers...

I think a draw will be a good result for us remember we havent beaten them this season two draws so i woulld say its all set up for another one ill say one all with flannery scoring for us.

Cmon Sligo!!! I never really liked Dublin City. Especially after the 2003 First Division title decider at Whitehall. :mad:

Amyway, what were the scores earlier in the season?

1-1 in Dublin and 1-1 in Sligo ;)

A real Six pointer here...

Not in the best of form recently....back to my old complaint of not enough goals.....that had changed for a while there, but recently things have dried up. In saying that we have been scrapping games which in itself is a good sign..

Thursday....what till happen.......its a game that Dublin City cannot lose...if they do it would be a bitter, bitter, blow......

I`m going for a goals bonanza and a 4-2 win for The Rovers..

anyone know who the Ref is....can we have another girl??

Its a must win for Dublin, and if it's a draw we will go away the happiest. But if we are to win this league, then it's up to us to win this game. I believe we can and will win this one. It would be a major blow for Dublin if we came away with all 3 points.
0-1 to the Bit O'Red.

I'm going to say......1-1.

Seriously going on recent form, I haven't seen either of yez playing this season though, I'd say Rovers to sneak it 2-1.....

........and Dermot Keely get's sent off.
