expect this to be a tough game, hopefully the injuries clear up but at least this season we have cover in every position, a win would be a great result but expect a draw

Would be more than happy with a point from this one but would be hopeful we might grab a one nil win. Id like to see John Dillon playing some role tonight, was really impressed with him after the cliftonville game and would definitely provide a bit more creativity.
tough game....i hope Brush,Ryan and Amond make it and Ventre doesnt(unless at full back)...with a footballer in midfield i'd be more confident of a result.dont like seeing us play a rooter in central midfield..BRAINS over brawn everytime please.
Hope he starts tonight.Originally Posted by Rory H
Me too. Thought Ventre was poor enough against Shams. I wouldn't be as anti-Ventre as yourself Carrickfan! He had some savage games last season against Bohs but he is limited.
McFaul looked a class act for them last week and they played all the football in that game.
A draw would be an excellent result.
I'd probably take a draw from this one, but while a win wouldn't make up for the Cup Final heartache it'd be great to come away from Morton with all 3 points!
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

Roy Keane is still a pri*k!
""The Showgrounds is a great place to play when it's full like that, and that's what you want, as a player, a big gate for a big game against someone like Shams," added O'Grady, who follows the proud Sligo tradition -- it's bred into them -- of only referring to their own club as 'Rovers' and calling the Dublin side 'Shams'."
I do like the "shams" comment...proper order!
Ha..i doubt many are!!!...ah no to be fair im not completley ANTI Ventre per se..i do recognise his attributes and think he has been decent as a full back on both sides so he's versatile and "committed" in the tackle....i would be anti Ventre in Centre Midfield...very much so....call me old fashioned but i like midfielders with a bit of guile,that can pick a foward pass out of more than 5 yards,spot a run,create chances and have a pop at goal themselves when the chance arrives..i think Richie showed last week he can do a lot of that...I think Conor is better equipped also to do that and im hopefull Doninger and Russel also have that...i think Danny did v well at left back and him,Keane,Gavin and Mauro would be my preferred back 4 when all are match fit..having said that would need to see more of Whelan and Davoran.
Definitely, it was doing my nut in the way the lot of them on MNS last week kept going on about 'Rovers' as if it only applied to the Dubs whilst we're just Sligo. It's always been that way so I know I should be over it by now but it just gets on my tits! Good on ya Conor
Keep on keepin' on.
We will win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Till d End!
Any coverage anywhere?

anyone got commentary on game
There can't be too long left now. A draw would be a good result.
1- 1 not too bad
a good result and two good points after two tough games. Better start then last year anyway!
Happy enough with a point. Fingal are a decent team and will beat a lot of teams out in Santry this year. We were poor in the 1st half and were lucky enough to go in level at the break. Ventre and Ryan struggled to get to grips with the 3 man Fingal midfield. The 2 new full backs started off shakey enough, but improved in the 2nd half.
O'Neill turned Keane inside for their goal and took it really well. Was glad that Amond got on the scoresheet. It will improve his confidence, after missing a similar chance in the 1st half. Our goal must have been the only mistake, by the big lad Paisley for Fingal, as he dominated Blinkhorn throughout. We played much better after scoring without creating a lot.
For all Blinkhorn's work up front, he doesn't provide a goal threat. We could do with another option up front, preferably someone with a bit of pace. McCabe gave the ball away a lot on the right wing. Dillon looked promising when he came on, even if he too gave away the ball in bad positions a couple of times.
A win against Galway next week, following these 2 draws, would represent a decent start to me.
