Dundalk 0-2 Sligo Rovers Friday 29th May, Oriel Park

Well lads, enough talk of the Galway game. A win is a win so lets look forward to this. I think it should be a good time to play them. Connor seems to have a lot of problems at the minute and with their woeful disciplinary record they must have a few out.
As the season progresses it looks like the most important thing will be to beat (or at least avoid defeat) to those teams around us to move up out of the relegation battle. Hopefully then pick up a few points from the top four teams along the way a la Derry. A win would be nice to make up for the last meeting but I'd be happy with a point in Oriel. Tough place to play and the astro turf adds another dimension.

Cook has won his appeal against his sending off in Drogheda too so he wont be in the stand.

**Rovers1** · 25/05/2009, 3:53 PM

I'd take a draw too. Dundalk are in a bit of bad form and are due to take it out on someone in the coming weeks. Different surface too as Dong said, gonna be a tight game. Wonder who they'll get sent off this week?

i fancy us to win again friday nite, dont think dundalk are all that hot. we also have the luxury of having an astro turf pitch in showgrounds so hopefully we will be a bit better prepared than most visitors to dundalk. the back 4 look more confident and solid and if can get the service the strikers crave we should come away with the 3 points.

Hopefully its a good time to play them as a bit of turmoil there at the moment looking forward to the game think we will get a result as showing good commitment again , haven't been to Oriel since 1991 wonder has it changed much apart from the astro pitch.

If the lads cant get motivated for this considering the result in the Showgies this season then things are wrong. It's not going to be easy, hopefully a good performance, a rare thing so far this season.

Team news from todays Champion says
Cretaro is suspended,
parkhouse is struggling
Doherty is almost certain to miss out
and Almeida will have a late fitness test

Cretaro will be a huge loss, especially his pace on the astro pitch.

**sligoman** · 27/05/2009, 11:17 PM

Cretaro's a massive loss. Will be difficult to get anything from this now.

Derek Tomney is ref.

1 man out does'nt make things impossible! Still fancy us for a draw.

Didn't say it did. Very difficult without Raf though.

Who did you hear that from?

Just wondering how many you will take up?

Would be surprised if they did given I would have thought he would be entitled to, another after Bohs court case, nice pay off from the club.

How long was his contract for that he signed at the start of the season.

**Dunny** · 28/05/2009, 4:26 PM

1 year.

Would Joe miller be a ready made replacement ?
Wasnt he brought in a assistant manager before Connor even got the job by your chairman

Ah well, always preferred Jonaton Ross anyway.
