Half time now. Radio said Turner is the best in midfield and McNamara is playing well in defence. Judge came off injured in the 38th min, McT replaced him. McT is up front with Mansaram and commentator said they have yet to click.

McNamara taken off injured at half time. McKenzie on in his place. If Keith O'Dwyer's comments are anything to go by, we're playing ****e

Hard luck Sligoman. Dead serious, I'm not smirking at or slagging you but that scoreline really is a surprise amigo.
Then again, UCD were never, ever pushovers but 3-0 FFS?.
Were/are Rovers understrength for the game?
Nope, not that I know of. Our best defender and a striker were injured and both came off before half time(but we were 2-0 down at that stage). Then we were down to 10 men with 30 mins left.Originally Posted by hamish
Losing to UCD 3-0 is a ****ing disgrace, I can't wait to hear what fans at the match have to say about the game and if it was as bad as been made out on radio.

3-0 final score. Conceded another goal from set pieces, we have to work on them!

You were terrible. A woeful performance. We were all over you and looked very comfortable in spite of not playing particularly amazing. Even when we beat Bray 4-1 they put in a good shift and had chances. You had one good chance at the end after we were 3-0 up. We ourselves had ample opportunity to score a 4th if not a 5th. The 3rd goal was a set piece wide left rolled to the edge of the box which McWalter blasted into the top corner.
Thanks for the compliments
My excuse is, we're not good travellers. Was their many Rovers fans there?

As I said to Sligoman, above, Poor Student - UCD were always a hard side to beat - regardless what position/division they're in. When I was with Athlone, a visit to Belfield wa always marked as a "toughie".
I'd hate, though,to see Rovers in trouble either. Have a soft spot for them, despite Sligoman's constant cruelty to me.
That's because ye were Athlone, we're Sligo Rovers though so it's different

Just telling it like it is.Thanks for the compliments.

i am!
Meh. One of our officials was asking about Sligo's away following, and he was told it was generally very (relatively) poor this season. Poor Student's guesstimate wouldn't be far out. Those who were there were booing Conor Kenna (no 3) for some reason - he was fouled for the sending off (and Brian Shortall was fouled several other times) - utterly stupid to be booing him 'cos Sligo deserved a couple of bookings and it was unlucky one lad picked up two.
An unacceptable, unforgiveable performance from a professional squad with a professional coach. For the third game in a row we conceded a goal from a set piece (well actulaay two goals) and teams playing us must feel each corner is as good as a penalty kick. An embarassing performance and with the exception of Keith Foy and Liam Burns, we looked fit for mid-table in Division One. A coach who was inspired enough to bring on a substitute in added time against Pats and cost us two points couldn't see that it was only the generosity of the ref that left Manseran on the pitch in the first half and that any kind of a tackle would result in another yellow. Inevitably, we played the last 30 with ten men. It seems to me that, until we can get a proper midfield, we should play 3-1-4-2 to offer some protection to the midfield and encourage O'Grady and Curran to bomb forward with the confidence that someone is protecting the back three. At the moment, the only decent ball forward is being provided by Keith Foy. In the light of the home performances, one can only hope that this performance was an aberration but the watching Pauk Doolin must have left wondering how he is going to get his lads up for what must appear a simple trip to The Farmers Field.
Support was probably 3/1 for Rovers in a sparse attendance.
No it wasn't. UCD usually have about 400 home fans, and there's no reason why that wasn't the case today. 400 UCD, fans, 100 Sligo fans. A Sligo official - as noted earlier - said Sligo's away support was poor this season. Poor does not equate to 400, unfortunately. It's a common misconception at Belfield that everyone's supporting the away team if they're not wearing a jersy, but that alas doesn't make it true...
There wasn't 400 fans ther in all !!!!!!!!!
There were 500, give or take a few.
Schumi counted a hair under 500, so 500's about right. 400 is definately off - I would know from the look of the ground. There were no more than 150 Sligo fans, and probably not even that.
You can't spell failure without FAI
