Shels up by 3 and so are Shamrock Rovers

**Poor Student** · 28/07/2006, 8:24 PM

Shels 3-0 up courtesy of another goal from Byrne and Rovers 3-0 from another Purcell goal. That takes Shels to 14 goals in their last 3 games. Poor Ollie and the goal bonuses.

**joema** · 28/07/2006, 8:26 PM

Rovers 3 up now

**Conor H** · 28/07/2006, 11:02 PM

Rovers v Galway in Tolka next Friday will have massive part in deciding where the title is going.
Bring it on!

Well done to Rovers who really took advantage when we went down to 10 men. They deserved it.

On a final note I would like to say

"Padraigh Sutton you having a laugh"

See you in Tolka whenever we get to play there.

Updates from the Shels Sligo game and all the action / reaction etc

Good win...still doesn't justify Purcell's continual inclusion though..

Of all the games I've seen so far this season and Limerick are the only ones I haven't seen...Athlone have to be the most ahem *physical* side by some margin - kicking anything that moved from the minute 1 to 92 - they must've had a policy of if you're not 6'3, then you're not playing. The 'biggest' wingers I've seen, 'biggest' right back - at least 8 centre-half type players, I felt sorry for Lavine..

I understand that you are excited, but the game in Terryland in October is likely to be far more relevant in deciding where the title is going. That's assuming we haven't pulled away from the pack by then.

As for the game next week, the onus is on Galway to win, because of the games in hand we have on them. With our next 3 matches after it against the bottom 3 sides, a point is more use to us next week than yous.

**Conor H** · 29/07/2006, 7:21 AM

I would have thought the onus was on Rovers to actually beat one of the top sides.

**The Stars** · 29/07/2006, 12:14 PM

Shels were awsome last night....should win the league,by far the best team we have played.

You win the league by being the best side over 36 games. So far, we are top because after 18 games, with 18 left, we have a GD of +18, with the most points. We would like to beat the top sides, but if it doesn't happen, it's not a disaster. We only have to be the best after 36, that's what matters. We have up to 2 games in hand on most of our rivals. So the onus is on them to catch up. Draws in big games keeps them at arms length from us.
