I think that�s the first bit of optimisim I�ve ever seen from you Gus

Of Course Sligo can beat Cork!
I ask you Rovers fans this do any of you remember the cup game against
Shels a few years back in tolka? Sligo won 3-2 it was one of the best games i ever seen in EL. The first two goals for Rovers were unbelieveable one was a 30 yard screamer and the second was a dipping swerving shot from at least
40 yards.I kid you not!Couldnt tell you who scored the goals though!
Think it went to et as I seem to remember the missus having to sit outside
for an extra 30mins a being slightly ****ed.Well it was hard to try to explain
to the uneducated the chances of the Sligo taking Shels to extra time that
night!It was a real I was there game.Do any of you remeber it?Im sure it will
have legendry status in a few years. If not already

Of course we can remember it! Ollie Keogh, John Gaffney and Steve Feeney scored them. They can still be seen on the net somewhere, afaik(

maybe this will haunt me but.........having seen you against Cobh twice, there is a big gap in quality tbh.

just my opinion

Remember that now alright .... great goals to be fair.

I dunno ... Still think City will have this .... if nothing goes wrong that is.

it pi$$es me off that any1 could say 3-0 to cork. have ye no faith? galway 0 cork 0, cork 0 harps 0, shelbourne 2 sligo rovers 3. i think o'callaghan is class too but he's not fast&not great defensively. burnsy will cope with o'flynn. fenn is gifted but sometimes looks lazy. if faz is on da left he can defo cause cork serious problems. i think occasionaly cork's defence looks a wee bit uncomposed hopefully saint paul can capatilise

**akearins** · 21/09/2005, 2:48 PM

if feeneys starts he may get some joy going forward as fenn is not 6teh bast at tracking back, however he sits in front of midfiled and behind striker so will need to picked up or he could do damage

Everyone has an opinion that's the beauty about the beautiful game.
I sincerely think we'll be outclassed, I'm not saying that because I hope we will be, I'm hoping we win the game just as much as you do Re4Eva.

A Shams supporter calling us Rovers

**gustavo** · 22/09/2005, 8:00 AM

hehe i can seee why most eL fans call us Sligo and them Rovers just that we would never call us Sligo ie whenever i hear a fan shout "come on Sligo" at games it just feels strange .

**Bravo** · 22/09/2005, 10:46 AM

a few Years ago the regulars in the stand use to pipe up once or twice a year with Sligo clap clap clap & it was the weirdest sounding thing, Leave it to the Gaa

**Red Forever** · 22/09/2005, 12:34 PM

paddy powers have cork 2/7 and rovers 15/2 to win which is ridiculous, our recent form is better than theirs amd they will have Europe to consider, cork are there for the taking, rovers to win 2-1, happy days

**showgies** · 22/09/2005, 12:50 PM

Cork will get chances, most teams do against Rovers, it is all a matter of whether they take them or not...............we will need a bit of luck

Lads - let's get some perspective...

shels 2 rovers 3 sounds a bit like england 4 west germany 2 - know what i mean? amazing result for us a few years back and jaysus was i a happy man that day but all it shows in the context of tomorrow's game is that upsets happen in football, no news there, doncaster and grimsby are recent proof of that.

but to draw comparisons is a bit ridickulos - we have a completely different set-up to when we beat shels...you can'y even compare the starting 11

i feel if we play like against pats then we could nick a draw - if we did i'd be DELIGHTED.
