And at least 100 of those were Longford Town. Was disappointed in those Shamrock "ultras". They got totally outsang the whole night barely heard a peep out of them

Around 150 LTFC fans, and yes, the only ones who created any noise. Tallaght is some ground but its souless.

Tbf I would have said closer to 200 LTFC fans but the stadium was dead because Rovers were playing a half team.at best and the game was over before it began. With 10 mins ro go the first chants from the rovers support started as we realised we didn't want extra timw.

“The game was over before it began” is a bit of a stretch considering Rovers lead the game for just 17 minutes before Longford equalised and rovers only won the game in the 84th minute through their second penalty of the game

I watched it and Longford played very well and it most definitely was not a cert that Rovers would have won only for the second penalty. Extra time you expect Longord would have ran out of steam

Felt sorry for the lad who gave away the second penalty, don't know what he was thinking

Longford offered almost nothing tbf and I'm a nervous ninny but wasn't worried at all. Once we introduced the 4 subs it was just a matter of time. People all around me were chating away all through the match and not really engaged..

Do Longford get a spot in the cup draw ahead of Rovers despite the result because their fans some noise?

I suppose that's why Bradley brought on a quadruple sub of all the big names 60 mins into the match so..

And I'm not saying Longford deserved to win but when you're in our position you'd be daft to go all out gung-ho against the strongest team in the country and not have a game plan. Played very will relatively considering our position and it took 2 penalties for ye to finally settle it. But for that the game was destined for ET. Different story considering we all thought the game was gonna be a massacre

And I wouldn't say ye pulled up any trees with how ye played yourselves, even with the big names brought on.

Im not having a go at Longford you came and competed and brought a decent support but Bradley bringing on 4 and then a fifth Mandroiu after 60 and 65 mins was exactly what i meant by the game being over before it began.

We were always going to start with a second 11 and if needed empty the bench to win which is exactly what happened, we hit the bar/post 2 if not 3 times and had clearences off the line AS WE SHOULD against 1st Division oposition.
That being said with 15 minutes to go we were a mistake away from being in deep doodoo but the quality off the bench did what was expected , i appreciate it was a Pen but people make mistakes when they are under pressure and thats what happened

Longford literally had the two best chances after going 1-0 down, deserved the equalizer. Yes Rovers dominated ball and territory but Longford keeper didn't make any spectacular saves.

Tallaght has plenty of soul when we're playing a team of consequence. That wasn't the case on Sunday. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the Premier Division League Leaders.

I've been to Tallaght for plenty of games of consequence, it's a library
