non event why did you bring it up?

If it happened it is NOT a non event. Typical nothing to see here attitude just makes things worse. As Ace once said "Denial is a terrible thing".

Good luck to both teams tonight, unfortunately the way things appear from the outside at Pats I can only see them getting beaten tonight, perhaps well.

2 teams in the 4th qualifying round of the Europa League would be a very good achievement.

I've often thought that seeing Irish lads up against foreign players but really, it should be one of the simpler things to rectify, an extra half an hour a day pumping iron should sort it.

If it happened, can we find some report of it? Otherwise we'll descend into the usual pantomime of "Yes it happened - you've your head in the sand" "No it didn't happen - I saw nothing beside me anyway" that we could do without.

Stu you don't hear about every fight on a saturady night outside a nightclub.

It doesn't mean it didnt happen.

This is something I also mentioned during the first leg that richardson mentioned a few times the last night, the conditioning and physical build of the players was far superior for all to see.

In other sports in Ireland be it rugby/GAA this is what they focus on over the winter/when not playing. Its very little cardio and all weight training. I cant understand how this can't be rectified by a proper weights programme, especially at somewhere like rovers where they are paying a sports scientist.

But it does mean that threads can get particularly tedious if unsubstantiated allegations are being thrown about the place. That's why we have a rule against it.

Good luck to Sligo and er..the silly ****s tonight

**punkrocket** · 04/08/2011, 1:42 PM

Oops..didn't realise I was being rude there, rhymed with Pats

**paul_oshea** · 04/08/2011, 1:51 PM

Haha Br@ts very good PR. The pats players should give 110% tonight after this big hullabaloo. I'm sure everything would be forgiven-from the club and fans- if they won 3-0.

**punkrocket** · 04/08/2011, 1:54 PM

No Paul it started with a Tw

**paul_oshea** · 04/08/2011, 2:12 PM

HAHA ya i was wondering alright when brat wasn't covered. D'oh

But brats also ryhmes and is less forceful....

**sligoman** · 04/08/2011, 2:18 PM

Alan Keane failed fitness test today (injured in training yesterday) and will be out tonight.

Reckon we're gonna lose by at least 2, but I'm never really confident before games anyway.

**paul_oshea** · 04/08/2011, 2:25 PM

Sligoman ye were honestly the better team the last day. Take that from a neutral, nothing to fear, and definitely capable of scoring but you need to take your chances not like last week or like rovers over the 2 legs v copenhagen.

Don't think you'll lose. A score draw would be a total sickener but it's quite likely.
I've seen Vorskla play 3 times in the last couple of weeks - most recently against Karpaty on Sunday - and they can be beaten - they're especially weak from crosses and corners, rubbish keeper and dodgy centre halves.
I'd love to be up there at the match anyway. Sligo are the best team in the league now and deserve to go through - just hope they're getting paid enough in bonuses!
Best of luck.

Yeah the word you posted means gowl, goother, flange, minge...I wonder if these will get censored?

...seems not...Gee, maybe we need a more hibernophonic swear filter?

**pineapple stu** · 04/08/2011, 2:33 PM

Or nun's habit, which isn't rude at all. So I'll assume that's what he meant and won't infract.
