Coming up to half time and we are three down. Sentence containing the words 'mountain' and 'climb' to follow

9 Minutes of madness.

Hopefully we dont fall apart.

**Fivesilver** · 31/10/2006, 10:10 PM

Think you meant 90 minutes of madness.

Still, I think we knew in our hearts our chance came and went on Sunday.

**mypost** · 31/10/2006, 10:16 PM

Time for a joint-Rovers cup post-mortem, methinks.

What the hell happened last night ? 5-0 ! it was a cup semi final and Sligo decide to roll over..... Even we did'nt do that last year against Drogheda.

**Red&White Rover** · 01/11/2006, 10:21 AM

well we were in the game until the first goal, and if we had kept at 1-0 til HT, i reckon we were still in with a shout. just as soon as we conceded the second we collapsed unbelievably...ah well next season eh?

still a good bit of craic!

**Rory H** · 01/11/2006, 10:38 AM

defensively once we conceded we couldnt handle them....we were doing well everywhere until then

o hara's dislocated thumb didnt help....

2nd half was...well once they got that goal so early we could no longer believe and singing until the end for sean hopefully shows him how much we want him to stay with us..we need him.

you're right red and white....it was a bit of craic...somehow

**BrayUnknowns** · 01/11/2006, 11:08 AM

It will be a great experience for your players, i bet you anything if you reach a cup semi any time soon that wont happen again.

unfortunately, i think the that Sean is going at the end of the season...his body language when he came over to us seemes to suggest it as well...

I think thats its 5 games in a row now without scoring a goal , anyone else think that Choice looked better in the few minutes he played than Manseram did in both games. Agree that squad isn't big enough considering the run of games we had recently.

Was Choice the big lad who came on in the 2nd half? Personally wondered why he didn't start as he looked very sharp. He has a better touch than Mansaram, looks quicker and probably created your best chance when he had a brilliant control, turn and cross to the back post just after he came on.

For me Mansaram provides nuisance value only and whilst he throws himself about, he seems to do it with little real purpose or conviction.

Was also impressed by Faz, aswell as McTiernan's effort, less so by Singh who is too lightweight for the EL IMHO. Although its tough to come on when you're 4 nil down Foy clearly had zero interest. He didn't move more than 5 yards and relied on trying to play 60 yard killer passes that didn't come off.

1. i think that o'hara will move to club (like derry) with europe on offer.
2. i think the squad is too small but if we overstretch ourselves financially? we dont want to go back to that!
3. I think connor will leave as an offer is nearly inevitable and his body language did suggest it.
4. Mansaram has had a poor second half of the season but the form of a lot of others has also deteriorated.
5. We shouldnt be too downhearted because if we had been offered our current status before the season started most people would have accepted it!

did the lunatic antics not re-invigerate you??

**The Stars** · 01/11/2006, 2:26 PM

So people are finally agreeing with me about Choice...i said it from the start,that he is as good if not better than Mansaram,and in the few minutes he got he did more than Daz did in the past 2 games.

Sean To Bohs: Forgot to say i say a car with a big BOHS sing on the side of it after the match on Sunday....maybe someone from bohs down negotiating something?

**avvenalaf** · 01/11/2006, 2:59 PM

Yeah, right, if you're coming down to Sligo to talk to their Manager you put a big sign on the side of the car. Pat Fenlon is going to Bohs at the end of the season so Shels is all that's left to Sean. Himself and Ollie would be some double act.
