0-0 so far, I hear its a pretty tight aka shiite game so far
1-0 to UCD. Conor Sammon header. Commentary disappeared from Ocean FM in the last 5 mins. I missed the goal.
Foy missed a penalty. Commentator claims Quigley was on the 6 yard line by the time he took it.:confused:
UCD take all three points. Our first win in 7 games and Sligo's first home defeat of the season.

but anyway, heartless tonight, disappointing performance from Rovers.
Asiein, was quiet when he came on, and Mansaram and Singh played well i thought. (singh came on for Cash, who was disappointing).
It really seemed that the defence was missing Burnsy!
Rovers were brutal long balls up to Flash and Judge all night, the two boys won f uck all in the air with the UCD centre halfs coming off the best. Terrible fare to look at. UCD played some football and deserved the win.
Ya missed Turner badly in the middle.O'Grady ran his socks off and was the only one who really can say they tried their best.
Choice looks like a class act,only got a few touches on the ball but everytime he did,he got something going and if he starts the next game he will make a big impact.
Judge was horrible again,there keeper couldnt kick snow off a rope but everytime he had it on the ground in the box,Judge just walked up to him before he would kick it.He put presure on him once and when he did,the keepr kicked it straight to Cash.
we were afraid to shoot all match,one in the first and a few in the second.
Id say Sean will give them an earfull about the result and more importantly the performance.
Fair play to the UCD fans,sang the whole game;)
only thing, he didnt seem to want to head the ball much!Quote:

yeah, from what i seen i would agree with that, seems to have very good touchesQuote:

i would agree with most comments made. judge has to be dropped at this stage. i though tha choice was very good on the ground good touch and strong. he will be a great asset was a bit off tempo jumping for the ball but this will get sorted out. i would agree that mcnamara was vey poor without burns. he needs him beside him as burns controls the defence. we played into there hands in the first half second half was better i also thought that the referee put foy off by delaying the peno and that keeper was off his line.maybe with the bogey team out of the way we will get back to playing well. players need to remain focused as the next few weeks for the club are very important financially. if we can get a result in drogheda and beat bray in league and cup the crowds will improve comming into the dark evenings. incidently crowd was 1100 last night i have it from good source
About right, I'd say. Kept on visibly increasing even up till a quarter of an hour in.Quote:

That said, how Foy missed when Quigley was sitting down as the ball was struck is a mystery!
Number 10 is Ronan Finn. Quality player. Hasn't played ten games for us yet either. Looks a massive prospect.
Incidentally, did youz go through the First Division unbeaten at home last year as well? Is it possible that last night was your first home defeat since...UCD in 2004?
When in Rome... ;)Quote:

shows again that faz MUST be dropped..hes not fit(or else very very lazy) doesnt play for the shirt and hasnt since last season (apart from one or two games) sean,its time to drop Kudozivic and make him work for his place...hes in a comfort zone,and he knows as long as he turns up for training and games,he'll get a starting place! i dont know whether sean is trying to prove a point by playing faz,but Faz obviously isnt good enough for the premier!
didnt like how all the boo's rang around showgies last night...very unfair i think.
Actually - was Mansaram the black forward who started? He had a brutal game, I thought. Looked really clumsy with the ball and didn't do much - even fell over trying to cross at one stage (though recovered to knock our captain out...)
Worst Eircom league game I've ever seen. Worst performance from Rovers I've ever seen. Not worth commenting on:mad:. Drogs will kill us next Sunday!
Crowd was easily 1500 stand was three quarters full a couple of hundred around the rest of the ground. Sean Connors tactics of hoofing the ball towards the front line have paid dividends until now but came a cropper last night. He needs to get the side passing the ball from the back instead of looking to feed off the scraps off the long ball up.
i can actually see us getting a draw up there,Drogs have a great team but arent unbeatable...a Rovers backlash,me thinks!:D ;)Quote:

No way was there 1500 there though, red bellied!
no way was the crowd 1500, it was around 1100. hopefully the MC give up on their stupid experiment NOW! most frustrating disorganised performance under sean connor. we're lost without burnsy, no leader or organiser on friday. service was terrible to judgey but there's still no excuse for how little he did. faz has to be dropped now. thought cash was ok but no1 could be happy with their performance apart from brush. thought ucd were quite good when they beat us 3-0 but didn't think much of em on friday. if we were at the races at all we would have beat em easily. bunch of f*ckin panzies too, hit da deck for 5 mins if they got hit with the ball. ref was ur typical eircom league standard, must have felt guilty for giving the penalty so he did everything within his power to put foyzer off&quigley was at least 3 yards off his line as well. not looking forward to playin ucd again. i'm willing to forgive this performance as long as they learn from it
I think I've deciphered what you're on about with that above post, and if so, you clearly didn't read mine fully before waffling away. Try reading it properly and having another go. Thanks.Quote:

What's your sig refer to, by the way? Or do I want to know?
Well what's George O'Callaghan known for?(apart from his bags of skill that is:)).Quote:

Close. But really it's about the diving, timewasting, cheating scum of a team ye have:p.Quote:

Maybe you oculd start up another one of those cauldron of hate things you were on about last week. That calmed me down anyway.
Actually I never said anything about abusing yer man Kenna. That was Rogue Trader and a few others. I will however be shouting constant abuse at Darren Quigley at our next game in November. Mightn't necessarily bother him but it will certainly make me feel better;).Quote:
