what do ye think for this one.id say it will be a tough game but we will beat them 2-0
I'd like to see Anto go in centre of midfield again for this one.
I was very impressed with him against Shams. He put himself about and was challenging well.
I'm sure Kenna will have Galway up for this game though.
Hopefully we can heap more misery on galway!!
I think Cook will rest players for this but still put out a strong enough side. It will be interesting to see what both managers do, Galway themselves have a make or brake game against Harps on Friday.
Hope Judge and Foy start. I'd say Jennings will.
2-1 to Rovers.
We will win this one 5 - 1 ...no probs!!!
Gavin is out for this game.
Hamstring trouble. Jamie will deff play, I'd say
I know it sounds silly, but this is our best chance of a trophy this season. It really is a must win.
Nothing silly about , it's been a while since we made a real impact on the League CupQuote:

If Murphy is still injured after Saturday night Boco might move back and Faz and Judge start up front.
Murphy had his best game of the season Saturday night.
it is silly and only 9 games goneQuote:

Should be a good match Galway might put up a fight this time round for any hope of some glory this season too so Sligo Rovers shouldnt be layed back if they take a 3-0 lead for example remember how close it was on Saturday also can see Pat Jennings getting a run out
Whats your team for this one ? I can see some top players being rested so heres mine maybe the likes of Curran and Foy will play too and maybe rest Brush,Butler,Faz,o grady etc... for the next game. Or maybe even make them subs.
Jennings
Coleman McKenzie Foy Almeida
Raff Curran Ventre/Moore Cash
Boco Judge
Subs:
Brush
Faz
O 'Grady
Butler
Peers
Still 0 0 , foy missed last min penalty
Extra Time.
Foyzer just hit the crossbar.
**** sake
Rogers SAVED last min penalty................Depends which side one is watching from:DQuote:

Foyzer's first penalty was more of a good save than a bad penalty but his one in the penalty shoot out was poor as was Ventre's.
Dunno why Boco was taken off, and tbh Judge looks very very low on confidence atm. A shadow of when he was on song last season.
****e game, and thats not even getting round to the penos.
Galway, well they've tightened up at the back, but are an absolute horrible football team. And im not trying to antagonise yee, im sure you know this already.
Foyzers two penos were within good reach of the keeper. Dannys went three Hordings wide of the post!!
Bad night all round, never really seemed up for it apart from last 5 mins.
Wasnt a great game neither team deserved the win. I was surprised at Foyzer having two penaltys saved :( and Judge wasnt very convincing he dosent seem commited to playing for us unlike last season Faz really got into form despite getting tired near the end. Danny Ventre had a dreadful penalty too and those anyone know why Boco got taken off so early ?.
Hard luck Sligs !
the game was a total bore.very scrappy and very little passing.galway are very poor in fairness and they will struggle to find the net this season i think.we had a couple of chances but due to our performance a defeat probably will act as a good wake up call to the lads before cork.shams was a good win but that effort and football must be produced every week.great performances by almeida,anto,mckensie,raf and butler aswell were all superb imo
boco had a groin injury. judge was pathetic. even if he is low on confidence that does not stop him jumping for headers. at least 10 balls came in his direction and fitzgerald won every header. not even a jump from matthew. if he wants his place in the team he will have to earn it.
I disagree that neither side deserved to win. I thought Rovers did, as we created 3 decent chances (4 if you include the peno)
First chance fell to Murphy (who had a very impressive 2nd half) and he ballooned it over the bar. Second chance fell to Raf, (from a superb pass from Anto) if his touch was better he would have got one on one with Rogers and the third chance was when Raf floated a great ball to Judge, who could only weakly head it into the arms of Rogers.
Defensively we looked sound, at no time did I really believe Galway were going to score. Galway were no better or worse than the last time they visited the Showgies. Except this time nobody was able to produce a wee bit of magic to turn the game.
Had Boco and Anto not gone off injured I think we could have won the game handily.
I do worry now about the fitness of some of the players for the Cork game.
Why didn't Faz take the peno??
Cork will be happy. Extra time and penalties 3days before we play them.
When was the last time we won on penalties ?
worst penalty ever
'Cause Keith Foy did.Quote:

Is he not aware the objective of a penalty is to shoot at the goal. If I were Cookie I'd check his trouser pocket for betting slips; surely he had GALWAY TO WIN......
Oh! thanksQuote:

How can you find that funny? We go out of a competition, and your laughing head off. :rolleyes:Quote:

Yes it is not funny at all.
Anyways, back to the game.
Anto had a stormer of a game in the middle. What a player and I think he's the creative spark we need to replace Hughes/Turner. He was nearly involved in every chance we created tonight looking at my notes from the game. He's got to play centre midfield from now on.
Notes? are you a coach at the club? GC?Quote:
