Hurry up Friday

[outspoken]

It's only Monday but I've managed to book half a day in work and I can't wait for what will be in my opinion the game of the season in terryland park on Friday night. For me this has a 3-2 scoreline written all over it and I just have that feeling Dave Sully will bag 2 of hopefully 3 and level up Richie's record. Vocal away support expected as ever. What's everyone else's thoughts?

weve been very solid at the back so i think it will be anoter 1 nil or 2-1,if we can get 4 points out of the next two games ill be a very happy man

[Martinho II]

I cant make the game as working that night so expectin loads of txts! I too am confident with the lots of clean sheets we are keeping and I am going for a one nil win.

I heard Stephen Rice is suspended, does anyone know if Rhys Gorman is ok, his head should be healed by now, so I hope he plays at least some of the game on Friday, he was the difference the last time, sublime pass to Sully for the winner

[Longfordian]

Rice didn't get booked vs Harps as far as I can see so I don't think he will be suspended. I think it's usually the next game after your fourth yellow that the ban kicks in but I could be wrong.

Dont understand how Rice could be suspended as he has only received 3 yellow cards this season, 1 v wexford youths,harps and rovers b... maybe the person ment that if he was booked in galway he would miss the shels game, i think wille tyrrell is suspended as he got another yellow v harps... as for rhys he said he was 100% earlier today

[outspoken]

I was told today that Rice apparently IS suspended don't know why that is, Tyrell also suspended afaik. Tyrell probably wouldn't have started after Glenn's winner in Harps but he's a great option to have as showed in the first game up here so it's a blow but Rice is a complete blow as he is the heart of our midfield. Rhys should be back but whether he's fit for 90 or not I don't know so big night ahead for Salmo and as ever hel live up to expectation I'm sure. Just feel wel lose Ricer's experience and 'how to kill a game'' attitude but hopefully Sulli and Flynner can help us in that regard. Draw isn't a disaster as long as we beat Shels next week which I'm confident about especially with a fully available squad with any luck.

so its still not officially confirmed that Rice is suspended ?

[hollocaine]

He was booked in the drawn game in Cobh, according to the LOI's website. That would make it 4 for the season. Strange then that he wasn't suspended for the Harps game.

[Longfordian]

Not suspended as per this list anyway

No suspension for ricer a huge boost!

[Darklordsbane]

I heard it (Rice suspension)from a Galway guy, he is usually correct when he says things like that, I thought he knew what he was talking about, must have been winding me up, sorry.

[nigel-harps1954]

I'm a bit suspicious of the suspension list given to media by the FAI this time round. By your count, Rice is due suspension, and Finn Harps Damien McNulty should also be due suspension, but isn't on the list. Harps have been caught out in the past by this, with the end of season fiasco between Limerick and Monaghan a few years ago where Monaghan were awarded 3 points after Harps had allegedly fielded a suspended player, media list had no name down, but apparently the club should have got a separate suspension list.

[atfconline]

An amended suspension list has been issued with Rice on it.

Huge blow

samo and rhys in the middle so ? thats if we go with a 4-2-2 which i think he will.. if it was 4-3-3 samo,o conner then rhys in front

Will rhys be fit for a full 90 though? I agree hel go 442 and set up solid, probably play a counter attacking game and hope to catch them late like we did in the first meeting. For me TC will select

Hunt,
Havo, Sulli, Flynn, G.O'connor
Mulhall, K.O'connor, Salmo, Shannon
Sully, Shaw

I don't agree with playing Jamie out there at all and I don't think K.Connor has the legs to play the game Rice does but hel certaintly keep the ball for us leaving Salmo to do his box to box job so hopefully we are not too badly effected.

imo TC will go
hunt
mulhall,sully,flynn,o conner
russell,rhys,samo,nkololo
shaw,sully

dont think he will put mulhall on the wing, is o brien not available to play now, but i suppose you never know with tc!

[Longfordian]

Yeah O'Brien was on the bench against Harps. I've never seen him play so no idea whether he's a central player or a wide player. Or if he's any addition, but I do recall Willie Tyrell praising him in an interview in pre season.

[Town Legend]

Is Don out for tonight's game? I don't see him in any of peoples predicted line ups.
