What a win 4 in 3 for Cretaro now, nice calm finish, and a superb first of the season for Boco. Brush was another stand out man tonight. This is great confidence for the Bohemians match now, if we can beat an in form Derry team, we can beat a Bohemians team who aren't as good as last season. I tought Boco coming off would effect our game but obviously it didn't. bring on Bohs!.

just look at the predictions thread for this, no one predicted a Rovers win, nearly everyone was going for a win (someone said they would beat us 5-0!)

[sligo23]

[showgies]

[Knappagh Red]

Great night apart from those rip off publicans 2 quid a pint, all in great voice on the trust bus heading for Mooneys FORZA ROVERS

[gustavo]

Fantastic result , great battling performance and we could have had 3 or 4 in the second half , I was very confident Raf would stick it in at the end will really set the lads up for next week and Bohs

[SligoBrewer]

Jays, Rw. What a prediction.

[Red Star]

Forza Rovers

[Rovers Maniac]

Superb result, just back did not drink si i was on babysiting service superb.

[Red&White Rover]

Unbelievable

[MMVIII]

Still havent got me head around it. What a fcuking night. Up there with the bests imho. What made it even better was the delight on the players face when they came over celebrating to us at the end.

Bring on Bohs

[sligoman]

Unbelievable. I would have been disappointed with the point tbh. Cannot believe we won. Hope we kick on from here now and give it to Bohs, league champions or not.

YEESSSSSSSSS!

[dong]

Absolute belter! Only down side was the boys banner getting ripped on the barbed wire in the second half!!
Disappointed that we hadn't a few more there but an unbelievable night. They had us pinned back for long spells but fair play to all the defence. Stand up Danny Ventre!! Great to see us so clinical as well.

[Rovers fan]

Superb result, just back did not drink si i was on babysiting service superb.

Haha,yeah right you maniac

What a trip Good craic on the bus. Elation to depression after we scored and then conceded straight after. Derry were dominant in the second half and were exploting us down their right wing,but we did well to hold on. As SM said a draw would have delighted me but what a way to ein it. In the 1-1 draw last season in the brandywell last raf was in the exact same position late on and he missed,I feared he would do the same again but that man doesn't dissapoint to often! Viva cretaro!! Celebrations at the end and the sing song on the bus home - Quality! This will really give the lads some confidence to push on. Inside Man - Where are you now?!

says it all really.

one of the best away trips ive been on.
so proud tonight of the players, management
and especialy the supporters who made the trip

[forza rovers]

what a win!we could ave bet them by more if we had taking our chances

[Fivesilver]

Stunning result, and what a turnaround in the last few days after the Dundalk debacle - shows this team has real bottle.
Everyone played well, but I thought in particular Peersy and Ryan were phenomenal. We had a bit of long overdue luck - two decent shouts at penalties waved off - but overall, away to the in-form league leaders, I'll take that.
Derry looked a top side, but we still created as many (more?) clear scoring chances. There was also no desperate hoofing the ball clear. It was generally passed and played out of defence.
Funny enough, in the closing stages I said to herself "We should be okay now. Derry have run out of ideas and they're just humping in long balls, betting on their big men." About a minute later we were 2-1 up. Somehow I had no doubt from the moment Raf got that ball nothing was going to stop him.
This team is only getting better. Roll on the rest of the season.
