Predictions for st pats vs rovers

**ali2005** · 21/08/2005, 2:55 PM

2-1 rovers. what do ye think.

**The Stars** · 21/08/2005, 5:13 PM

0-0 and us to win the replay.

**redman** · 21/08/2005, 5:32 PM

In the circunstances with us now back on top I think the atmosphere will be electric. I think the 'stand fans' will join in with the 'shed heads' to make this a night to be remembered.

Pat's are not having a great season and we are now full of confidence. This is our opportunity to signal our return to the top and I think we will send out a message and make the eircom league sit up and take notice.

My prediction is Rovers 1 St. Pats 0.

I hope your right with that but I dont think the atmosphere will be any different to any other game

well it should be... St. Pats are one of those teams we are currently aspiring to be playing against week after week. Its been awhile since we've had a game such as this in the Showgrounds and the magic of the cup should give it that extra spice. This is not a pre-season friendly and Rovers fans have always loved their cup football.

I hope that Sean puts out our strongest team though and does not take it as an opportunity to rest key players with promotion in mind.

i think ye are being very optimistic.pats are not having a great season but they haven't suddenly turned into a bad team and are still one of the biggest names in irish soccer.let's not get carried away.remember how hopeful we were when longford came to town and look what happened.i don't agree with the person who said we'll win after a replay.if we are going to do it it will be at the showgies.i think if we have to go up to dublin for a replay we could be in trouble.having said all that though it is still a winable game,but let's just keep our feet on the ground.

**sligoman** · 22/08/2005, 12:00 AM

My prediction is 2-1 to us

. Brown and McT with the goals

**lim abroad** · 22/08/2005, 1:19 AM

Couldn't see us beating Shels in a replay in Tolka a few seasons ago but it happened

**Da Real Rover** · 22/08/2005, 8:32 AM

When its the cup and us anything can happen, anything.

**wws** · 22/08/2005, 9:51 AM

we're expecting a very tough game lads - our form is far too erratic to be confident about this - drew 1-1 and outclass Derry one week, lose 1-0 and look sh:t against longford the next - doubt if there will be much diff in class

like sligoman said,nobody said we could beat Shelbourne in the Cup,espically in Dublin and looked what happened then.....

**Rory H** · 22/08/2005, 10:01 AM

1-1...faz

**garykelly** · 22/08/2005, 12:42 PM

us to win 1-0. a draw and replay wouldnt be ideal as the league is most important and we cant afford to drop points coming off a midweek replay. mct to score.

**dublinred** · 22/08/2005, 4:13 PM

0 0 if we play the u21s or a 2 1 win if Sean puts out a full team.

**red arrow** · 22/08/2005, 7:51 PM

we have to be realistic here lads. my opinion if we play above ourselves we could sneak it. faz will be key player hear if he can create space with his darting runs and hold the ball (not loose it) we can create more chances. midfield will also have to be strong. brown could cause them trouble used as a foil for mct. looking forward to game and if we create the right atmosphere we can certainly do it. get the samba band out gary and fill the shed . best of luck to the lads.

**rockstar** · 22/08/2005, 8:18 PM

Ithink well do well to win on the night,Pats are no bad side they have a lot of quality players who are very good when they get it right,the win in Cobh will give us a boost.2-2 on the night.

**Red4Eva** · 23/08/2005, 12:14 AM

can't f*ckin wait for it. hopefully a few more ppl go to shed so we can generate an atmosphere for once. i'd be shocked if sc puts out ****t team.
rovers 2 pat's 0. st.paul&kaps
