New rules, keep playing until rovers score.
If they cant score start sending the opposition players off

**Charlie Darwin** · 15/07/2011, 8:47 PM

Twigg to the rescue again. I don't know what we'll do after he signs for Real Madrid.

It's a pity Sligo won otherwise we could look forward to one of their fans coming home and taking this post seriously.

pre-emptive edit: I'm joking!

Galways goose is cooked :/

**Hibs4Ever** · 15/07/2011, 8:56 PM

Unlucky Drogs. From what I seen on twitter you were by far the better team

**Dixie Dean** · 15/07/2011, 8:58 PM

Drogs 0 - Neil Doyle 1

Season ticket holder shouldn't be allowed to referee games with their club involved.

Pre-emptive edit: I am also joking!

Serious battle developing at the top now. Shams got to be relieved tonight, in fairness Twigg can always be counted on though in games like that. The guy could be anonymous for 90 mins and then hit you with a sucker punch.
Sounded like we had a big crowd in Galway from the radio coverage.

A few teams have had big wins in recent weeks and months. Some win by Sligo tonight. The other 3 games went as I'd expected as well. Should have put a few euros on it!

**Hibs4Ever** · 15/07/2011, 9:24 PM

Neil Doyle reffing and over 6 minutes injury time. 'Nuff said

They were very good. Mulvenna and Dinny Corcoran were superb. That big lanky number 11 was excellent as well. Oh and yer man, the number 8 that looks like Arshavin. Drogheda played a very tight pressing game with decent one touch play. They looked better than Rovers for much of it. Bit of a sickener at the end tbh.

Great match, actually, Drowda definitely deserved a draw.

There was a definite penalty for Drogheda about ten minutes in - I was stunned it wasn't given - offcials (especially Damien Hancock - 4th off) seemed more interested in imposing their own petty influence on the proceedings.

To be fair we've been losing and drawing the tight games recently so this is a nice change. Sligo will have the same pile-up of fixtures in a couple of weeks and Pat's are already in it, so Derry are in with a massive chance of stealing a march on everyone.

**MeathDrog** · 15/07/2011, 10:08 PM

Absolutely robbed tonight. Gary Twigg is becoming the new Mark Farren against us.

**Mario** · 15/07/2011, 10:25 PM

Rovers were camped in Drogs half for the last 30 mins and the pressure was building. It was literally the last kick of the game, if it hadda gone over, Id say the ref woulda blew up!

Rovers certainly got out of jail, 6 rested and turner suspended and Sir Twigg does the bizz for us!

**Terry-Lander** · 15/07/2011, 10:33 PM

A sincere THANK YOU to all the Sligo Rovers fans who bought programmes, raffle tickets and gave donations tonight. The large travelling support was a credit to the club.

That's being kind on Rovers. We were able to deal with anything they threw at us until the goal. It was only in the last 20 minutes did they start to take over, 30 is being kind.

It was only 6 because Rovers were celebrating for ages after scoring in the last 10 seconds of the 94th minute. 4 minutes injury time was more than justified as Drogs were timewasting from about 55 minutes with the keeper tying his laces delaying a kick out for a minute and a couple of "injuries" and also the subs. No doubt Rovers got out of jail, another shocking performance from us.

**PartySaint** · 16/07/2011, 12:47 AM

Hmmmmm 5 minutes injury time and Neil Doyle the ref, Interesting that!!

**Charlie Darwin** · 16/07/2011, 12:49 AM

It's good to see timely reports of all four matches on the Irish Times website. Even if it's just for European season, it's good to see more coverage of the league in the national media.

It's been great since Europe has started, I've seen Pats and Rovers on the back pages on some papers for the right reasons, can only be a positive thing
