    Shamrock Rovers (A) 02-05-14

    If we play anything like we did against Sligo last week, we'll get a bit of a battering. Funnily, it's in these types of games that we seem to excel, we sit back, play without the ball and try nick a set piece or an individual bit of brilliance. A lot will depend on how well we manage Finn and Kilduff. Can't see many changes team wise, maybe Prince coming back in for Rainsford. Curran looks to be out again too (possibly a late fitness test)

    Prediction? We either grind out a 0-0 or we lose by a couple of goals.

    Thoughts?

    Just like Sligo the shams will prove to be too strong and win 2/3 nil

    More importantly if you have time kildare village is good for shopping. On the way home macaris in kildare town is a far far better option then suprmacs further down the road.

    Finn is suspended for the game as is Conor McKenna.

    Can't see us getting anything out of this. They are playing far better than they were last year and we have gone backwards a bit. Our record in Tallaght is terrible also. The only way we will get something out of this is if they underestimate us and we can nick a goal either on the break or through a set piece.

    could be a tough night ahead and events of late will hardly help team morale.

    Only following along online, sounded like a tough battle. A point out of Tallaght nothing to sniff at I suppose. We'll miss Ryan for his suspension. Galbraith got a run-out, how did he do?

    Damn so close where in the hell did 8mins injury time come from??? I suppose the only consolation with Barry Ryan is he will only miss one match but 2 yellows in the space of 4mins of injury time mad or what , would have taken a point so good result but to be so close to three real shame

    Missed the game but an excellent point that nobody here (me included) expected us to get.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    Was just following the ET updates myself, but all credit to those involved in taking a point last night. Superb effort and another very creditable performance in the capital also.

    a performance that certainly deserved a point and maybe it should have been three.Rovers had all the ball but didn,t do alot it with it and in fairness taylor had the team well organised,i could not see the second pen incident properly from where i was positioned but it seemed a poor decision ,all that injury time did not help matters but a point offered before hand would have been taken with glee.very good team effort,great heart shown by all the players ,for me gaffeney and the ...mistake[gaels pal folan]were the pick of the bunch.crowd wise by rovers stds small.maybe 2300 i,d say.

    Im still a bit baffled by the first penalty but the second one was absolutely stonewall, Barry Ryan went wwf on one of them.

    Stephen Folan would be a much better LoI centre half if he didnt insist on trying to play football every single time.

    Very good team performance overall and probably the first game i've actually enjoyed this year. I thought the manager could have been more graceful towards the end, his carry on was childish imo.

    Still unbeaten in Dublin!

    Lol the mistake did play well, but then only BR let the team down on friday. Gaffney, oji and williams for me. We're set up as an away team so maybe this is why we're so awful at home. Our midfield is by passed a lot of the time. Prince is an excellent sitter in front of the back 4
