Cork in the cup

**Rovers fan** · 09/06/2009, 2:43 PM

Surprised there's no thread for this yet. I feel we can get a draw in this one. Cork probably haven't been playing as well as their points tally suggests. We outplayed them in the first game of the season and by all accounts we played very well down there in the 1-0 defeat, with a depleted squad.

We played well against derry imo, but looking at it on MNS, we really didn't create many chances. Boco was sorely missed.

It will be good to have Keane and O'Grady back, and we shouldn't have to be calling on our young players to start the game (I think?).

I'll be happy if the lads put in the same commitment as they did against derry, and if we do concede let's hope the heads don't drop.

It would be great if Morrison could step up to the plate, he has it in him.

Should be a good trip, with hopefully a big Rovers following and a good atmosphere.

Boco is available for Friday night, according to the Champion he will '.....interrupt his international schedule to fly back to Ireland......'

Jesus fair play to Boco, absolute star, hopefully this will give the lads a boost ahead of the game.

Edit: By the wat whats the story with the bus for this?

great news to hear that romy is going to be in the team. if you remember last year he got out of his sick bed in hospital to travel to cork for the 2nd last game of the season. nobody should ever doubt his committment. a great player with a first class attitude. thanks romy

That's really first class. Who pays for his flights, though? Surely not Benin's FA?

We'll have to play very well to get anything from the game. Hopefully Keane coming back in will be a boost. I predict a narrow loss.

In keeping with the policy of Sligo Rovers FC of always making life easy for the administrative section of the FAI, we will beat the s hite out of Cork, thereby making the other parts of your question irrelevant.

Glad to be of help.
