Matches 21st-24th February

[RathfarnhamHoop]

You seem to be able to recognise a poor challenge on Lopes, but lapse into apoplectic rage and a string of invective when reminded that Pico is no stranger to horrific lunges on others.

Relax

You do realise that your club you claim to support played yesterday yeah? Might be an idea to post about that as opposed to trying to make some sort of weird point about a Rovers player as if it's somehow relevant. Should we just not mention any bad challenge on any player? Because let's be honest every player in the league has or will put in a bad challenge in their career so by your logic that cancels them all out.

Now try go put half the energy you put into caring about Rovers into Dundalk instead, might actually help the club and spare us all your weird obsession.

EZ as I’ve said before clearly demonstrates a range of concerning behaviours associated with obsessional idolatry - best thing is to ignore his posts as responding to them only fans the obsession and prompts even more boring commentary from him- in one way I’m loath to make this post as most likely it will prompt the type of outburst no one here wants to be bored by him but I’m allowing myself one attempt in the hope that we’ll see an end to his ‘tripe’ and the rest of us can enjoy the new season and having some reasonably adult debate

[sbgawa]

Wasting your time, imagine being so sad that u would trawl the internet for a clip of a player making a bad tackle because it proves what........that he wasn't fouled badly this time??
Some things never change.

Some chaps are well able to give it, but just can't take it.

Bad foul on Lopes who is well able to give it as well as take it.

Get over yourselves

[sbgawa]

Lol who says lopes can't take it.
Nobody even said that
Good attempt at deflection go back to trawling the net for clips of rovers playing..
Did your own team play?

[sbgawa]

Or did u mean us responding to your usual guff.

[Johnnie C]

That was absolutely horrific. Worst I've ever seen from us. Dalling should've put is one up early on but that's as good as it got. Could've been double figures. Very long journey home now.

A team packed with inexperienced foreign loanees who lost at home to a limited enough Shels against one of the top teams in the country was always going to be a home banker. Did they show any bit of fight in the second half or did a lot of them just chuck the towel in?

[sbgawa]

Def didn't throw the towel in. As RH said above , cork even though it was 6 nil did show some potential, decent football , st nil nil after 20 mins I thought they had weathered the storm.

[Kingswood Rover]

Ah thanks for clearing that up. Some were convinced. <br>
<br>
Couldn't see from where I was what it was about. Seems like a scuffle between fellas from different factions of our support.

<br>Saw somewhere that they were scuffling at the Shels game in TC week. Whats the deal with the Cork City fans , and they seem to be casual type fans that you always see from the away end in left hand side at corner flag. Are they ex shed fans and or a distinct set within the general fanbase.

As predicted QED.... I’ll leave it there

Cobh Ramblers 0- 2 Drogheda United

I liked the looks of Drogheda in the friendly we played against them. I’m not sure how Longford are looking in general but I’d say it’s between the two of them.

Making a mockery of the league our second team are, a disgrace how we allowed minnows like Lexlip Town to pick up the 3 points there which could prove vital in the promotion race while we'll probably go and play Jack Byrne against Galway next week just to deny them 3 points, absolutely disgrace we are.

[Nesta99]

Get a ****ing life you sad soul

You see no similarity between the respective tackles?

[RathfarnhamHoop]

You see no similarity between the respective tackles?

I've replied already to that, if you want to know what I think about the comparison of the two challenges go back and read what I said

[YendorsMOT]

Are Rovers pulling their U19 or U 17 team

Actually we arent training in Leixlip btw we are training out in Donaghmede now just to keep you informed.

[Martinho II]

Jaysus this rivalry between Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk is turning into a Rangers v Celtic warfest.

I think this originates from the time Neale Fenn walked out on Dundalk to go to Shamrock Rovers.

Fenn walked out of us to go to Cork. Its us that should be bearing the scars of Fenns habit of walking out of clubs.

Just get a grip of it lads!

It goes back way longer than that. My father has been going to games since the 1940's and he tells me that Rovers were always the bitter rivals.

Only cause Dundalk happen to be decent so there's obvious competitive rivalry, when they go back to being **** they won't be given a second thought by Rovers fans.
