Sure what are they playing Rovers for? The Rockmount U7's would provide a stiffer challenge

Yes you're right - we are in meltdown, and even still everyone else is just as obsessed with us as ever!

Crap team, **** crowds, playing our home games in a kip - Christ it's nearly as bad as being Bray Wanderers, but as a Rovers fan I wouldn'y know what it's like to be in the First Division.

Dont worry, you'll have plenty of time to know what its like in the 1st division next season. By the way, how's Tallaght coming along ? any chance of the homeless getting re-housed soon ? Sure ya only need a patch of grass for the 1st division so when Pats turf ya out ya should be grand.

We've played eachother once this season and because Rovers are homeless and dont have their own ground good old Bray had to put them up for the night, and with half a u21's team we p*ssed all over your lot !

Even the crappiest of Rovers teams always avoid relegation, as we will again this year. If I had a penny for every time I've seen Bray get relegated I'd have enough money to finish off our stadium myself. You may laugh now, but we are at our lowest ebb, and, as they say, the darkest moment comes just before dawn.

They did?! I'm heartbroken about your U21s winning

Think we've hit the all time low. Bray fans abusing us! BTW we're not going down. Dublin s**ty have to win 3 out of their remaining 8 just to go level with us.

If we do go down I'll buy you a pint and a rock shandy for A Face

Ya would'nt even have 10 cent ya dope ! jesus if materials and labour are that cheap oout in tallaght i might build a stadium out there meself ! On a serious note though, i personally think things are only going to get worse before they get better. Players havent been paid in 5 weeks, its really having an effect on the playing field, Rovers play DC on the last day of the season, could be a massive match ! especially the way things are going at the moment. I'd prefer Rovers to be in the premier anyway, cant say DC hold a place in my heart

Worst case scenario: we fail to gain a single point out of our remaining games, not all that unlikely a prospect given the way we are playing at the moment. In order to just catch us up, CHF would have to win at least three of their remaining eight games - a team that has just won 5 of the 28 they have played already (and only won 1, albeit against us, since Roddy took over) Face it, it ain't going to happen.
