Rovers always seemed to be able to raise their game for the derby this year, no matter how their form is going into it. That’s what champions do I suppose. They’re sitting pretty now.
Shels four points off Pat's and guaranteed Europe all of a sudden. Life at the bottom too as Cork get within three points of Sligo. May be moot though unless Waterford can find some form. Only five wins in the last 13 games (since the break) and Coughlan with only seven in that
This is the softest, most spineless Sligo Rovers side I can ever recall.
No character whatsoever. I wouldn't fancy us in a playoff against anyone.
Shels Guaranteed Europe ? How do you figure ? Disappointing from us tonight. We were defending well until the sending off, and may well have seen the game out with 11 men, but we really offered nothing going forward.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
I meant Shels four points off third place (ie Pat's)
Fourth Euro spot mayn't go to fourth in the league with the way the cup is going.
Are Pats fans happy with Jon Daly? I've watched them a couple of times and havent been impressed,blessed to win in the cup and poor in europe,were'nt good against UCD last week either apparently....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Shower of absolute pussies. Can’t score and keep conceding ridiculous goals.
Superb by Rovers and the win was even more emphatic than score line would have you believe ….. game was well sewn up before Clarke and Farrugia came on but having both fit again is a real bonus….. Hopefully we’ll have Jack back for Derry game and rest of season.
Coughlan went off injured in the cup game at Turner's Cross. Hasn't played since, I think. Do Waterford fans on here know a bit more?
Huge night for Ruairi Keating in his first start at the Cross since his dad died onnthe way to see him play at the Showgrounds against Sligo.
We need to make up 4 points and I dont know if we can do that. We looked good tonight and we looked good with 11 men against Drogs last night but I think it's too little too late.
After Clancy he has improved a few things. We are normally solid defensively. Not overly pleasing on the eye lately and have little up front. If we get Europe he deserves a chance at starting next season. I’d give him a B - , on his report card.
I'd be happy enough although we have had some poor performances with tonight's a bad one.
The team didn't let me down. Showing up and putting a performance in when the form wouldn't have suggested we would. Clarke and farrugia (with a fabulous goal) make such a huge difference to us.
Great to see finner score in the Derby too.
If we can go and win in derry we will be sitting pretty. Great crowd 7800 plenty of people standing around edges I'd say more season ticket holders showed up then was expected
Wexford were very poor this evening,we had midfielders and full backs playing at CB and they could only manage 1 goal from a mistake from us,we played the last 20 odd minutes with 10 men aswell and could have grabbed the win,point means more for other teams more than us really,roll on the end of this season......

What on earth is happening with Waterford. ?
That was a very big and definitely deserved win for Shels tonight momentum was well with us before the sending off. Cult hero status instantly achieved for Euclides Cabral coming straight off the bench scoring instantly with his first two touches as Shels player for the equaliser. Duff's celebration towards the Shels fan at the final whistle was certainly memorable!
From the four games against Pats two with Clancy and two with Daly I couldn't have identified they have any different manager definitely don't look a improved side but no worse
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
I wouldn’t drop the head just yet - Sligo have the smell of relegation about them tbh - wouldn’t be surprised if UCD beat them next week - even though we beat UCD 3-0 tonight , they actually played some good football - score wasn’t a fair reflection.
Drogheda United in this together
Yes it was - but the ref was shocking - Bohs should have had at least one penalty in the first half - and a couple of Rovers players should have been booked early in the game for bad tackles - decent refereeing would have completely changed the nature of the game.
Even if they lose to UCD and lose the rest if their games we need to make up 3 points plus goal difference, so effectively 4 points.
Our opportunity to do that was in our games against UCD at home (draw) and Drogs last week (loss).
We have one more against UCD but even if we win that I struggle to see were we would pick up more points.
It's not over but it's gonna be very difficult
Jaysus rovers win 3 nil but its all down to the referee ??
It could have been 5 or 6.
