Predictions lads? Many fans coming up for this?:confused:
I'd settle for same score last time we played in Sligo. :D
I think 20+ fans travelling... Tuesday night reducing numbers a lot.

Devine
Horgan Murray Bennet Murphy
O'Donovan Gamble O'Brien Woods
Fenn O'Flynn
Long cross headed in by O'Donovan. 1 nil City!
jammy *******s!;)
in fairness though ye didnt deserve to win tonight and im sure the cork fans that were at the game will agree with me. if we continue to play like ye did tonight i cant imagine you'll win anything definetely.
ah well, football its a funny old game...
Yeah, 0-3, you were robbed, we nicked a jammy win in the 89th minute! :rolleyes:Quote:

You'll get turned over by Derry and Shels again and end up right back down the table. You're in a false position at the moment and everyone knows it.
In relative terms we are having a better season than ye & yes we most likely will get turned over by Derry & Shels in the league but so will Ye & we'll be happy with a mid table finish this season, Will you?
Oh my god, ffs. Wasn't at the game but yet still thinks he can comment on it:rolleyes:. All of what you've said there is total ****e Peadar, nothing new their I suppose!Quote:

Did you actually read the match report on our website? Or just the heading? If you'd have read it, you'd see it says we dominated the first half.Quote:

I think if you read it again it says that it was a game of two halves,Quote:

Sligo have been winning of late........ However, the second half is one they’ll want to forget, a reality check
Despite Rovers going in search of an early goal, it was Cork who took the initiative after only ten minutes
Rovers stepped up the pace immediately playing a slick passing possession game that created half chances
Cork must have said a couple of novenas in the intervening period as Rovers had two gilt-edged chances to draw level on thirty seven minutes
Rovers lost their rhythm somewhat and apart from a couple of snapshots from Chris Turner they didn’t trouble the Cork goal in the third quarter.
It got worse for Rovers in the seventy sixth minute
Rovers fell flat in the closing minutes
Now explain to me how that is jammy??? The word dominate isn't ecven in it, you are dreaming.
Sligoman - I was at the game , does that qualify me to comment ????Quote:

Is moderator boy going to try and ban me again?Quote:

You're entitled to be biased but to say 0-3 was a jammy result for us takes some fair amount of tunnel vision.
We "should" have beaten Waterford, we "should" have beaten Derry and we "should" have beaten Pats. We didn't though, because we didn't take our chances, so we only took one point from those games. We took 3 points from you because we're a better team than you.
Even when you play out of your skin, you can't score against us, not to mention beat us! You're hovering around the level of Pats and Bohs but you'll finish below both of them this season.
were you the dude staying on pearse road??:)Quote:

well done to the cork fans.nice group of fans..i admire bahrons:p although you shouldnt have jumped on the pitch and not giving the ball back is pretty pathetic.....
No that wasn't me , I went back straight after the game but I know the lad you're mean.Quote:

What I saw of ye last nite , Connor has ye playing decent football , good in possesion and fast passing,and that lad up front and the Singh fella are very good players ,likewise O'Grady .Key will be can ye hold on to them all though and get quality additions .Good to see a decent crowd as well ,believe me ,there was more at that game last nite than there will be at our next away ( on a friday) ,must say though , it was a very quiet home crowd.I hope ye stay up for a while ,as I said earlier , ye'll bring more to the league than some of the dublin teams currently there
thats loud for our home crowd.....we only sing when we're winning really:pQuote:

they were good at the headers in fairness but i still didnt like it..when ye scored i saw a couple of them on the pitch...not very important anyway i suppose....
hope we stay up for a while??? ha ha...we're here to stay...the title is ours before the end of this decade
Not being smart , but when I said I hope ye stay up , a decade was the type of time span I meant, and your comment is similar to one I got on here from a harps fan after we beat them in Ballyb last season ....Yer doing well,playing good football, with a manager who looks like he wants football played properly...sadly for you ,he'll be in demandQuote:

I'm gutted that the game was last nite tho , the original saturday date would have meant a huge City crowd ,even had a bus ready to go myself but too great a distance on a tues nite unfortunatly
I take it you missed the Derry game???Quote:

i think we could have had a bigger crowd too and maybe it could have been a different scoreline...theres always next year anyway..i hope:p if we beat killester i think the semi finals are on the weekend we play ye in the X.....so that would make it 3/3 postponed:rolleyes:
We'll see at the end of the season.I know for a fact, however, that you will be wrong.Quote:

I hope ye are different to harps ,the more Strong non Dub teams in the league the better for all of us .Make them travel more than 5 or 6 games a season for a change.....yer not too different from Derry tho , that gear is too similar , and we passed a pub called " The Brandywell" too ;)Quote:

i hope we are different to harps!the thing that worries me is with our poor crowds this season we will have to sell one or two...we need some more money from somewhere...
Dromod I think. It's between Carrick and Longford anyway!Quote:

foyzer has something to prove 21st october...
The steward smacked him into the barrier and could've hurt the fan.Very un-professional ,he went flying in to him and as soon as it happened ,he turned and walked off to the other side of the stadium ( or was told to) and was replaced by another lad .It was a ott reaction that in a different circumstances /teams could have needless probelms.Quote:

I actually won a tenner on the lotto.I must be gifted.Quote:
