what ye tink?

**gustavo** · 01/05/2006, 6:33 PM

i wouldnt be surprised if we got some kind of result out of it

**sligoman** · 01/05/2006, 6:41 PM

I'd be delighted with a point but I dont see why we cant take all three. If we win, we overtake them in the league!

if cork play anything like they did on friday i'd say we'll defo come away with something. although midfield was decent on saturday it's great that turner's back and i think he could be key just even as a super sub. be happy with a point but without georgie&o'flynn cork ain't all that great so i think we could win.

1-1 mct

Probably right there, but cant see it happening.

With City not at full strength, you would have your best chance at beating us. Will ye be good enough aganist a half strength City team at the Cross with the crowd demanding a result after the last night?

Hopefully he'll get injured again early on so he cant cause any trouble with all his cheating.

None. Are you a fan at all?

Face, I think everyone who follows the EL knows well that Cork's precious Georgie is the most unsportsmanlike player in the league

Au contraire mon ami .... i think you'll find that its there is a section of the leagues support will say and believe things without making up their own opinion. But i fully understand that .... its far easier to side with others that having to go to the trouble of seeing for yourself. Sure how would sheep get home otherwise.

Will you be at the game Sligoman ??

I've still seen him play on TV to make up my own mind. For the moment I'll leave my opinion of O'Callaghan as it is, until he proves me otherwise when ye come to the Showgies.

I wont be at the game, I'll be at work unfortunately.

Definately.
How does age come into it?

Thought you were much older, in fairness.

Rogue Trader, i thought you were a Galway man but anyway ya should head out around Turners Cross early. There's always a decent buzz in the Turners Cross Tavern and the Horseshoe from half five onwards.
Don't know about racing.

Burns is out:

Sligo have midfielder Chris Turner back from suspension and he is likely to come straight into the side as Gary Curran (foot) didn't travel along with central defender Liam Burns(knee), both injured in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Shelbourne.

Jamie McKenzie is set to partner skipper Michael McNamara in the heart of Rovers' defence.

Biggest worry is the backlash - City can't be as sh1te again as they were against Pat's. They desperately need the points, and will be looking at a game at home to us as a banker. Also, it's a ground where if the home side get on top they can really get the tails up and shred you.
Having said all that, Rovers are growing in confidence, with several players making themselves very comfortable in the top flight. Tonight will be a big test of character - but get something out of this (3 points or 1 point and a comfortable performance), and we'd be well entitled to raise preseason expectations another notch.
Hopefully a good performance out of Faz when he doesn't have to listen to abuse from a bunch of pr1cks who think that's the best way to support your team.
So tonight, it's either a major coming-of-age for this team, or another reminder of the big steps still to be made, as in the Brandywell.
