Thank funk for Raf. Ye reds.
i'm just after getting the news. great result well done to all
Looking at this run in, Pats are in big trouble and they way they appeared to play tonight indicates they are serious contenders to be up thier a...s in the dog fight that will take place with probably the bottom four clubs. We may be finding a bit of form at the right time and fair play to the BOR.
Was working at the match, Sligo went out to kill the game early, they done that and very well at that. Played very well and took there changes in the first half.
Pats never looked like scoring at all. Couldn't even string 3 passes together.
Your fans were a credit to you club and brought down a very big support. They didn't shut up for the 90mins!
I'd say you could nearly double that.Been told theres about 100 Rovers fans at it
Good result and a great crowd for a tuesday night, would say maybe 200, we have a proper chance to get out of this now.
We really need to go and beat Galway now, no excuse! Pat's made it too easy for us tonight, their players didn't seem to care at all. Blinkhorn did brilliant for the 2nd goal, great player. Couldn't fault anyone tonight.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Well done to all who travelled and especially to the team.....maybe we can make a late challenge for the title????
Well done to the Rovers supporters that turned up in numbers last night and they certainly made themselves heard for the 90 minutes and it must be a great lift to the players to see the support they have. Also well done to Ciaran Kelly stepping in for Brushy, he had a fine game and will do his confidence a lot of good and we are lucky to have a replacement of that quality.
Yes, well done to the team for travelling. (Sorry - couldn't resist)
Goals from last night. 19 minutes in.

Delighted!BRING ON THE CRUSTIES!
Would not expect anything less from a man like yourself - in fact i would probably have been dissappointed!
Great performance. Raf is a legend. Gifted player. Goalie solid and calm. Cash is rejuvinated and a hard worker. As we've proven in the cups we can beat any team on our day. Magnificent fans. Tuesday night, heavy rain and a relegation dogfight didn't deter at least 200 fanatics! Great night. Just when you're not expecting it with Rovers!
from listenin to the pats commentary near the end last night they said that there seemed to be more rovers fans at the end of the game than at the start!!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Every game is a cup final now. We are finally starting to look like a team and with the exception of the shams game, where we were robbed, we have put a great string of results together and are looking in better shape than most of the clubs around us. Galway is another must win as is Bray, and positive results from these two games will really crank the pressure up on Pats and Drogheda. The Drogs are fightin for their lives but lack quality. Pats have no cutting edge and not much desire based on last nights performance and could be in deep trouble. Once we don't become complacent and keep performing like we have been we might have Richard Saddlier eatin humble pie yet. If we had the same squad at the start of the season as we do now imagine where we would be in the league table!
We'd be challenging for the title!
There was certainly a higher percentage of the crowd seeing as most of the Pats fans were well gone before it endedfrom listenin to the pats commentary near the end last night they said that there seemed to be more rovers fans at the end of the game than at the start!!
we have been we might have Richard Saddlier eatin humble pie yet.
'If we win tomorrow night and then beat Dundalk on Friday were only a couple of points behind them. Were looking up the table rather than down at the minute'. LOL. After his comments about some of the top teams not reaching salary protocols etc and that finishing 5th might be imortant i think this guy might have been dreaming about europe...again...LOL. From what i seen last night and looking at their fixtures they are in big trouble but from talking to a few of their fans last night they think their immune to it!!
One big push now and winning our 3 very winnable home games and picking up even 1 point from our away games will bring us to 40 and barring any bizzare results goal wise Pats will need 8 points to finish ahead of us which judging by their fixtures and their players performance last night i dont see them getting that.
I dont want to be getting too far ahead of myself coz weve seen a few false dawns this season already but things are really looking up for us again and credit is due to the players and management for a great performance last night which could finally be our 'turning point' of the season!!
ROVERS TILL WE DIE!!!!!
