So the Pub team are up in Sligo tonight provided Sligo are serving at least a €9 meal within the ground.
Will John Sheridan do media tonight or send out his wingman again??
Chance for Cabo to show they will be there at the end of the season tonight, win or at least take a point and people will have to start believing in them.
They signed two players at the weekend Steven Kinsella back from Everton and Jack Connolly back from Sunderland.
I fancy Rovers to get a result in Bray (13/2 with PP) Thomas Olluwa is a goal machine and Dean Williams needs minutes , playing together they are as potent a strike force as there is in the league.
The 105 minute restriction will make things tight for Waterford to get in and out.Quote:

The Sligo game is tomorrow night.
Hard to keep track of all these games at different times!
Whoops :o
See Galway are losing again.
Would there be pressure on Alan Murphy up there or was this shortened season more or less wrote off?
I know he has a lot of youngsters but there's a few there like Shane Duggan that wouldn't be playing for free.
Murphy has to go after today.Quote:

Definitely were going for promotion this season. I think top 3 would have been the very least expected.Quote:

I think Everton - the two moves to LoI were loans. He's had a lot of injury problems though.Quote:

Big winners in it though were probably Cabo, as our suspensions will be in effect from our trip to Stradbrook on Friday.
Big win for Cabo.
Talk of American money coming in must make them realistic contenders.
I was very impressed with Cabo last night. They are a very strong team and a great ex GK of ours Mick Kelly so cant see past them imo.Quote:

That Waterford defending for the free kick was really dreadful.
Huge result for Sligo. Harps are buried at the minute.
Really enjoyable game that,Waterford went to bits when Sam Bone went off,looked the better side till then,Sligo well on top second half.
There's only one team we can look at to catch and that's Cork and it's a big longshot.Quote:

Yeah really enjoyable game. Buckley beginning to get them to start passing the ball a lot more. Interesting to see how we go against Dundalk on Saturday.
Sacked this evening alrightQuote:

Carlisle Grounds or Belfield?Quote:

Their underage set up is closer to Bray in Kilbogget Park not sure how much if any influence that would have.Quote:

Rovers 2 very like Rovers B under Colin Hawkins. Growing into the league and will take some scalps before the end of the season.
What are the requirements for grounds in the Premier. A stand I presume. Would have to work with Rock if they want to stay in Stradbrook. Need to build their support base especially amongst their young members.
There's a lack of turnstiles, an away area, seating, and pretty much any facilities at all.Quote:

Rovers II are a far better outfit than the 2014 set upQuote:

If they go up it would be great if they could stay within the areaand hopefully significantly improve their crowds. Early days yet.
