wonder who the ref was,
it sounds like winters MO
Galway winning is a balls, but as they still have drogs, shams, bohs and cork to play they could easily roll down into the play offs.
Pats winning is a balls.
But sure feck it.

sounds like we were shooting from distance instead of hoofin the ball into their box and puttin them under pressure. three points there for the takin and we blew it! cant understand why turner was only brought on with 5 minutes left when they were down to 8 men. would have taken a point before the game but feel like its 2 dropped now. hope peers, ventre and o grady aren't injured!
Sligo far superior to Dundalk in the first half but when they went down to 8 men we lost the plot, build ups were very poor and we showed a great lack of imagination and shooting from distance. This is one we should have won as Dundalk have not much in the way of skill but are a robost team.
Bad ending and too make it worse the Sligo supporters were locked for a long time after the match. Missed opportunity and the results have gone the wrong way for us tonight. At least our unbeaten run goes on a while longer so must not be to critical.
Great chance for three points wasted, not as easy as all that to score when they were down to 8 as they packed the box but rovers hadn't a clue at that stage.
There was no pace to the build ups and when the crosses should have been flying into the box they were fecking around trying flicks that didn't come off.
Sligo were decent enough first half, no one was outstanding but looked easily as good as Dundalk, but when they got their second after half time thought they were all over us. Chrissy Turner was bossing midfield. The sendings off were all justified and after that Dundalk just wanted to hold out.
I agree that Rob Turner should have been put on with at least twenty mins to go, either lump it long to him and Blinky and hope for a knock down or get the wingers to get down the wing to whip in the crosses at pace at every available opportunity.
What happened was Richie Ryan playing square passes to O' Grady who played it out to Doyle or Marshall who were delaying getting it in. It was all slow and all in front of a wall of Dundalk defenders. It was poor considering the opportunity we had.
Were kept hanging around for twenty mins after the game, kip of a ground.
I think I am right is saying that we have only lost one game in the last fourteen in all competitions. Shams flukey win against us was our only loss, this is the kind of form I think we were capable of had we had the full squad available earlier in the season. Must have been very frustrating for the manager but fair play he kept plugging away and last night he could not have had any voice left as he was roaring and urging the team on. He looks totally committed to the Rovers, let hope it stays like that.
We bottled it big time last night. We could'nt cope with the pressure of expectation.We could'nt get the ball out wide and cross it, we could'nt take a decent corner. Why did we still have 4 at the back playing against 8 men? (Athough i did'nt think 2 of the reds were valid) VERY frustrating, we have to get something out of Derry AND Bohs now.![]()
lets look at the situation now. if anybody said 3 weeks ago that we would get 10 points from the next 4 games you would have got huge odds. ok playing against 8 men one would expect to win but thats football. we are still in a pretty strong situation and even if we do end up in the playoffs we should finish 3 th from bottom and therfore have the team below us at home. we must keep supporting the team & remaining positive. every game is a cup final now but we can be the twelfth man. keep the faith, sligo rovers history is littered with what i would call "pressure cooker situations" but this is our club & thats why we must believe that at the end of the season we will still bein the premier division & have won the cup
You got to love Dundalk..1st time ive been frisked going into a LOI match!!..asked to stay behind after the match!!..decent crowd at the game..as for the match i dont know where to start!!..i actually think Dundalk defended better with 8 men and we prob would have won the game had it remained 11 v 11 or 11 v 10!!
I was speechless, nearly, after the match could not even look at the players when they came back on for the warm down. To my mind i thought Cook changes were an absolute disaster last night and the main part of the reason why we did not win, Boco back to right back was probably the single most daftest decision he has made since Jennings in place of Brush. The players will have to accept a lot of blame too for last night, but this is a proper confidence blow i think.
I agree we are not out of it yet if we can win in Derry, i mean 10 points of a return from 4 games is superb, it's just the manner how we got the one last night. If you were to offer me that as a return before the pats game i would have taken your arm off, We have a major week for the club next week we need to lift for that. Derry we're badly beaten last night no reason we can't go and get something in the Brandywell and then go and enjoy a cup semi final at home.
