Never a penalty for Drogheda. Brush came out went down and collected the ball and their striker clattered over him. Poor defending from Ventre from it and thats what the ref probably gave it for.

Richie Winter is the worst excuse of a referee i've ever seen! penalty my arse! and every 50-50 challenge went to Drogs FFS!. What are your first toughts on Rob Turner ? Personally I think he looks a bit rusty but he did come into life in the second half. Does anyone have much info on him ?

The new lad Turner reminds me of Sean Flannery.
I agree, never a penalty. Dont know if it was Danny's fauly, seemed like Brush got the ball and the Drogheda lad just clashed heads. Winters is a joke full stop, dont know how he gave Rovers a penalty, ball was clearly outside the box.Originally Posted by red bellied
We're in a relegation fight now, whether we like it or not.
wil ya give turner a break he prob hasnt kicked a ball in a month. he held the ball up well and had a few nice touches plus one turn that got him into a goal scoring touch. unfair to judge him on tonight. i for one think he will be a success. i thought we played some our best football of the season tonight. boco and morrison were marvellous together. morrison had his best game in a rovers shirt !! the 2 centre backs were at fault for both goals and never looked comfortable. we could and should have won tonight. i would take a load of positives outta tonight. 2 points dropped but we attacked well and created loads
We'd have won that if Sean Doherty wasn't selfish. Kelly was in on goal, all he had to do was pass it to him. Obviously way too early to judge Turner, he did ok and also nearly scored. Hopefully we'll have as many chances in Albania and we might have some chance.
Special mention for Chris Kelly too, thought he played very well when he came on, his best game for Rovers I can remember.

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Are you serious ? I often try to back up Morrison but he was utter crap tonight, he may have had a few good touches but he could took on too many players and never broke into the box with players always getting the ball off him. I dont think anyone's judging Turner, as I said he looks rusty so time will tell. I tought Kizzy Kelly did well in the time he had on the pitch. I was dissapointed with Doherty when he had plenty of time and space to either score or pass to kelly who had acres of space but he just wasted the ball. Anyone know who hit the bar from about 30 yards for us ?

ohh the irony
Yeah, that sums it up pretty well. Boco did great from RB, hopefully Turner's arrival means he won't have to play upfront anymore. I think he did ok, it's probably 2 months since he played a game so we can't judge him yet. Raf should've done better with that chance in the 2nd half that he hit over, but credit to him for staying on in the first half. A lesser man would've been happy to go off.
However, we've gotta be realistic here. If we're not beating the teams around us, at home, then who are we going to beat? We can't count on surprise away wins over Derry every week. Somehow, we have to start turning these nearly misses into wins, because one of the teams near the bottom is going to go on a run sooner or later. We need to make sure it's us.
morrison hit the bar from 30 yards out.......... plus he played boco through for the 2 crosses for the goal. he also beat 3 defenders and made their keeper pull of a great save from the shot. believe me i was one of his critics but he played great balls to boco and the 2 of them down that wing caused drogs most of there problems
Yeah he hit the bar, but it still dosent make up for his performance though does it ?ohh the irony

Im always disappointed with Doherty.
Morrison did OK first half, looked very lively.
come on your judging peoples performances and ya didnt even see the work they done !!!
people have different opinions, I always try to back up Morrison but there were alot of times in the match where you had to agree, he should and could've done much better, hes a shadow of the player he was at Derry unfortunatly
Come to think of it, he did go off injured which may have contributed too what makes me think he had a poor game, hopefully thats only the case but There have been times in the season where he has produced a perfect ball for players. He just lacks doing this game after game.

Morrison is the most creative player in our squad, we'd be lost without him this season. He was fantastic tonight, felt sorry for him at times.
morrison has the ability wheras doherty has nothing apart from a good cross. he should be bombed outta the club and apparently he is going. hopefully he is gone soon. he is a drain on the clubs finances. also dont think morrison will ever turn outstanding as my cousin played at sheff wed 01/02 with him and alan cawley and said he was the same then. plenty of ability but trys to do too much
I know now what people have been saying, regarding the abuse people in the crowd give him. If anything doesn't come off for him, the first thing you hear is "Ah for f***'s sake Morrison!" He's the one trying to make things happen, yeah he tries to do too much sometimes but when it comes off it can lead to a good chance. People here seem to value hard work rather than creativity. We need both.
i thought it was a very entertaining game & we created the better chances in the 2nd half & should have won. howerver i'm reasonably happy with the result. i thought turner was defo not fully match fit but looks to be strong & can win the ball in the air. when he gets fully fit and at games pace he will be a huge addition. peno was v. harsh(such a difference in the match officials between the europa game and tonight). i though rommy was outstanding tonight .i can see why he plays for his countyr in that position. morrison has loads of ability but he takes the wrong option more than he should. if he would only realease the ball that bit earlier after creating space for himself it would improve his game 100%. we have cork at home next weekend it will be v. tough after the european game but with the few new faces & gavin back i think we can do ok. i want to wish all the lads the best of luck on thursday & if we can keep it tight defensively we could surprise them. to all who are travelling out enjoy yourselves & shout yourself hoarse for the bit ' red
If anything, he's the exact same., hes a shadow of the player he was at Derry unfortunatly
