What do you think the result will be?

I'd say it'll be close 1-0 or 2-1 to us of course

Lookin forward to it now.. Have the evening booked off work specially

Hopefully it'll shut up the Rovers fans who keep posting crap and stirring it in this Forum...

**Terry** · 01/04/2005, 8:46 AM

I predict a 2-1 win or 1-1. Either way it should be a close match. Hope the crowds will turn up as kick off is the same time as the champions league quarter finals !!!!

I remember on there old forum they stated they had a great travelling support down for a match one evening and I had counted maybe 25-30 of them !!

**Da Real Rover** · 01/04/2005, 9:47 AM

Theres a bus going, so there could be a fair bit of us on Tuesday!!!

**Terry** · 01/04/2005, 9:57 AM

Thats good, top of the table clash hopefully!!

**Da Real Rover** · 01/04/2005, 10:04 AM

By the looks of it we'll be the 2 teams battling out at the top of the table for the season, cause the 2 favs(Dublin and Kildare) were very poor and completely over-rated. You could also throw Dundalk and maybe Athlone into the mix!!!

**Terry** · 01/04/2005, 10:13 AM

We found Athlone very hard to break down last week, but they are nothing special going forward. Dundalk are the only team that haven't let in a goal this season so could be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.

hopefully thats true as would be nice to see galway back in the premier again. Hopefully we will win against kilkenny at the weekend.

**Terry** · 01/04/2005, 10:36 AM

I will be tough, I would be happy with a scrappy 1-0 victory. Pat Scully has put together a bran new team, and started pretty well with a 2-2 draw against dublin city, where they were leading 2-0 at one stage!

But i think there was something like 6 dublin players out for that match and its not like dublin are on fire. But any team organised by pat scully won't be a walkover.

**Conor H** · 01/04/2005, 12:12 PM

I think it ill be a very close game but i reckon weel shade it 1-0

I mightn't be far off with this post above! I see the sligo rovers supporters bus has been cancelled due to lack of interest!! I have a bad feeling about what kind of crowd will show up for this match tomorrow

come on united!!

See the Sligo bus is cancelled..

Going to be a poor turnout from them anyway

**Patrick Dunne** · 04/04/2005, 12:56 PM

... for all the guff on their forum, we all know that they are a bunch of blowbags. They allegedly brought 200 to Tolka Park on a Thursday night, a round trip of 250 miles approx. Right.

Bizarrely, they can't get 20 to make a 150 mile round trip !

If there was a league table among Irish clubs for gross over-exaggeration of support, Sligo Rovers would be way out in front. At this stage they are so funny that they are a parody of themselves. The Manchester City of Ireland.
Massive.

Galway United vs Sligo Rovers
(Terryland Park - 7:45 pm - Division 1)
Referee : Alan Kelly

Sligo Rovers and Galway United, local rivals on the West coast look set to be battling for the season and Tuesday could be a good yard-stick.
Galway United were held to a 0-0 draw by Kilkenny on Saturday.
Ryan Casey didn't feature in that game but could at Terryland. David O'Dowd should be back from suspension but Derek O'Brien is an injury concern.
