QuoteGame isn't the greatest, but that was a great finish from Shields.
Good set piece there and Shields with the finish, one nil to Dundalk

Super goal, awful game. The pitch is a bit better second half but Rovers still hoofing everything.Originally Posted by Conroy
Dundalk fans chanting at Ronan Finn: "You're just a **** Richie Tool."
Now Shams aren't going through, rumour going around the final will be in Showgrounds.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
You'd hope it won't be at Oriel anyway.
Windsor Park...
The final should be played in Longford, nice stadium, neutral venue and near half way between both clubs...
Think the final should be in neutral venue, Longford/Athlone would be ideal IMO.
I'd say that's what a Trevor Croly team talk does to you
Or equally inconvenient for both sides. I think a neutral venue will always hurt attendances.
I'd say Ronan Finn must have an awful crick in his neck after watching the ball sail over his head all night. Ridiculous amount of hoofing from Rovers all night. We weren't great but did enough.
To have a player as good as Ronan Finn but then hoof balls so that Andy Boyle can have some heading practice???
Terrible tactics from Shamrock Rovers tonight.
Dundalk and Sligo have good support and both sets of fans will travel for a final.
A venue with two stands is needed.
It was an awful strategy. You'd think with this game basically a write-off, Croly would have instructed his players to try and get to grips with the difficult surface as practice for Friday, but he seemed to just want to avoid anything along the ground. Rovers' only decent spell of the game was after Brennan came on and they were able to manufacture some space quite easily out wide.
Shamrock Rovers took Route 1 football to a new level tonight.
We got a rare clean sheet.
Just imagine if we'd had somebody over 5'9 in the team.
Rovers should coax Rory Delap out of retirement - he would be a perfect fit
He'd be fairly useless for a team who can't win a throw-in.
He would hardly be out of place then.
I'm not sure though that he could meet the high demands that you have for incisive passing!
Dundalk passed very well today, I was impressed. Rovers have been passing well most of the season but Croly seems to **** the bed whenever he needs a result.
