Hopefully I'll be able to get to this one. Like the Showgrounds, Jinks Avenue stand a good place to watch the game from. McNally went off injured against Cork so hopefully it isn't a reccurance of his lat injury as he is our most important player, as can be seen by the games he missed and after he went off on Monday. Tony Mc and Doyle should be back but Paul Byrne is still out of action. Sligo are missing Peers, who I've been impressed with this season, so their defence is somwhat weakened. I'd be surprised if either team fails to score so a 1-1 draw is my prediction.
Not going to make this one.
Anybody going ? Anybody available to do text updates ?
yes we will be coming down in our thousands just for the lad in the celtic shirt
BEWARE

possible team with all the injuries considered, in brackets is the team i would pick
GK : Quigley
RB : Mahon
CB : Shorthall
CB : McMillan
LB : Kenna
RM : C.Byrne
CM : McFaul
CM : Finn
LM : McWalter (Fitzgerald)
ST : Hynes
ST : Sammon
Defence is very untested but can't think of what else it could be really?!?
Think McWalter will play as he is the one experienced player in midfield however i would love to see all the young lads giving a run together!!
Fitzgerald is out, I think.
I'd have King instead of Hynes and move Finn behind the striker.
Won't be able to head down. The usual story in Ireland, no way to return via public transport after the game.:rolleyes:
Stay the night you cheapskate
Read the name.;)Quote:

Seems Ocean FM aren't doing this one.:mad:
Any updates on how the first half went, who is on top etc?
I hear it's a poor game with little doing for either team. Sligo winning 1-0 though.Quote:

doyle left back - bit of suprise, thoughts?
2-0 to sligo, handball by alan mahon and penalty scored by foy
What's wrong with Killian Gallagher? He looked decent before Bermingham came in.Quote:

i would like to see these play as in my opinion the season has come to the stage where there is little to play for so why not give them a go!?!
We've still to secure safety. Apart from the Drogheda game our form is woeful. Thankfully the teams below us are doing just as worse but if we continue this form we could sink back into the battle. It's a pity we're in such poor shape for the Derry cup game.
if only paul byrne was fit! how much we miss his goals! sammo's played about 22 games and scored 4 goals in the league - thats just brutal, even doyler has more goals and he's probably played half that amount of games
timmy subbed on but gone off injured in an ambulance! leg injury of some sort i believe! another blow
2-1 murphy with the goal. final score!
Murphy scored.
I got a text to say Doyle's ankle was broken.:(
ye're left back, not sure of his name...number 3 tonight has broke his leg or something. maybe his ankle but hes definatly f**ked! ventre won the ball in a tackle late on inside the box but his weight went on ye're lads leg it happened really fast, people could hear the snap 40 yards away in the main stand! players rushed to him frantically signalling to the bench.
hope hes ok
broke his leg.was sitting near the tunnel and heard the snap. he lay on his back with the snapped leg sideways in the sir.you could see how bad it was from other players reaction and pete mahon was devastated.when they carried him off you could visably see the break..horrific.was taken by ambulance within minutes.was talking to one of the players after, said it was real bad. get well soon.:ball:
yes doyle broke his leg in 2 places i believe. thats a correction on timmy being taken in an ambulance it was in fact doyle!!
unfortunate consider he has just found his way back into the team
Terrible thing to happen. No malice or bad tackle involved at all- Doyle went for a strike on goal, defender nicked the ball away at the last second and he struck the defender's leg full force. As feo said you could hear it miles away but the ref and a few players played on for a bit afterwards while there was pandamodium at the other end of the pitch. Never seen a worse reaction fromn players to an injury. He'll be lucky to play again I'd say.Quote:

Are you sure about that?:eek:Quote:

There is a chance he'll never play again. Alan Smith and Cisse had similar injuries but they were able to recover due to top class medical help, which I doubt we could afford.Quote:

news update - he should be alright! he had the leg set back into place in sligo and there is pins being put into his either today or tomo. should be out and home on wednesday i believe! so unlucky
Sounds awful, hope he recovers OK.
didnt think it was as bad as it sounded when he was been taken off, because they just put him onto the stretcher straight away and it took no time at all hardly.....usually it'd take 4 or 5 min
hope he makes a full recovery.
That was just your speculation so! Thought you had been talking to Looper or someone.Quote:

Was wondering a few weeks back how Podge would get back into the team with Doyler doing so well. How ironic...
Irish Times today says he broke his chin! :eek:Quote:

They must have meant shin?:confused:Quote:

Is the injured player any good for ye? What age is he?
