Sligo Rovers 1-1 Cork City
Decent performance. Solid start and showed good spirit to pull it out of the fire.
Good game, controlled the game throughout. Every player played well, I think Shaun Holmes could be a danger to other teams from free-kicks. Such a shocking referee tonight, was it Richie Winter ? he was playing favourites but he still dished out the cards too the Cork players. That goal will do a world of good for Parkhouse's confidence.

Coleman for Ireland
And also a danger to Rovers when he plays for us.Originally Posted by sligofan4ever
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Nice to see parky silence the doubters, for now anyway. Weather kinda wrecked it and probably hindered the attendance too, twas feckin freezing! We were the better side and should have led at half time. Brush had very little to do and they were pretty ineffective going forward. Great save by connor from o'grady but was the follow up defo offside? Holmes made a few errors, including one for the goal but did a lot of positive things also. All in all not too bad, great to score straight after them and silence the langers(who travelled in good numbers btw). Still though, these are the type of games we need to be winning but it always takes a few games for things to gel in to place. Bring on tallaght
he played very well before his **** up.
At times yes, also made a fair few mistakes.

Thought he had a great game bar the mistake which unfortunately led to a goal.
Sounds like it was a good performance by Rovers on a bad night and thanks to Sligo Rovers website for giving those of us too far away to be present tonight a very good report on the match. Waited in vain for Aertel to give a match report but it had not happened when I switched off. On to Tallagh now and we will be all there to drive the bit of red on to their first win.
Attendence 1700 - seems a bit low
On the balance of play we were unlucky not to win.
But scoring the equaliser so late in the game felt like a victory.
It was really important not to get beat in the first home game of the season,
the lads showed great character to come back.
Just goes to show how deceptive pre season games can be,
We looked a lot sharper and fitter
rov v cork
i thought we did very well on a very bad night weathwerwise. the pitch was very heavy and the team showed great character. overall i though the defence was very sound and even if homes did make that mistake i thought he played very well otherwise. its a pity that the crowd was not bigger although at one stage (7 oclock) there was thunder and lightning and i thought the game might have being called off. we need to get more people to the games or we will be in trouble again as we all know that the budget is circa 1 million. the club needs all the help it can get so lets put a big push for the pats game and get the numbers up.
Thought we played well in patches, poor game overall and not helped by the pitch. Thought Peers was superb and Richie Ryan done well too. Terrible evening for the game, thunder and lighting less than an hour before kick off would have kept away the fair weather supporter. Parky took his goal very well.
Did Alan Keane play? If so, how was he?
Keane was solid, in fact I thought the whole defence were. I would have liked him to get forward a bit more, but then again I was used to Coleman bombing forward and it would be unfair to expect similar.
The only thing I didn't like about the team was playing Doherty on the right and Morrison on the left. Am I mistaken but isnt Owen right footed. Cook could have at least done a swap during the game. Doherty is far better on the left.
Overall we certainly deserved the draw.
"Overwhelmed"
Good to hear, Keane doesnt go forward at all, completely defensive minded player, very solid. Can take great penos though!!!
That'll be handy in The Champions League Final.
We could have done with a few of them over the past two seasons. I hope he teaches Danny how to take one.
"Overwhelmed"
What was up with the burberry (as one of the lads put it) Im as hard as Danny Dyer crew that Cork had with them. Funny really.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
The more I see of him the more I like. Very solid.
This was very baffling. Both players were too easily marked being on the wrong side. I hope Paul isn't trying to be too clever.The only thing I didn't like about the team was playing Doherty on the right and Morrison on the left. Am I mistaken but isnt Owen right footed. Cook could have at least done a swap during the game. Doherty is far better on the left.
Poor game not helped by the weather. I thought Ventre was one of our best players on the night. Good start for Parkhouse and while getting the equaliser felt like getting a winner it is still two points dropped.
Worst Cork team I've seen in years. Showed very little ambition and were playing for a draw from the kick-off. Can anyone confirm the rumour that Faz was on the pitch Saturday night.
