What does everybody think about it? Hope we win and keep this run going.
C'mon the Rams!!!!!!!

this will tell a bit, athlone are strating to come on form and they were tipped for promotion at the start with the players they bought, but id say our form will make it a win by a goal id say, bit hard to call with there form and ours, hopin for another step up in the attendance with a good turnout for shels, we won that and won again the weekend, i hope the support will increase and come the end of the season were at dundalks heels,

rams to win 2 nil.

Hey Lads, hows things, it would be great if the crowd was up on the Shels game, thanks for the many suggestions that u posted recently. What du u think of the new signs, anyone get that flyer that was in the last programme, if u have fill it in as I need it for our new data base, great support for the Shels game, but we need to be more vocal, and flags, nobody seems to bring any flags! The ground is looking great as is the pitch, keep the suggestions coming in, also I need some help with flyers and posters to be put out for the next game, any one interested. Thanks.

Great start for Athlone the first few games but Dunalks 6-2 drubbing kicked the wind out of them. They have gained points the last couple of games but only against Mons and Finn Harps, the bottom two.
Rams have been winning but only just!
Should be tight again but hopefully we can nick an early goal this time and a second not too long after.
2-0, no doubt!
Kildare should hopefully cause Dundalk some problems too. A draw there possibly!

Think we might be looking at a 2-2 draw for this one.

Lavine(2 goals) and McT(2 goals)are playing really well as a unit and creating plenty of scoring chances between them. This will provide a good test for your defence.

Our midfield is pretty strong with Byrne, Gavin(2 goals), Heffernan(1 goal), Harty likely to start.

The main problem we have at the moment is that we are playing a centre half at right full and he tends to drift infield on occasions but it is happening less often as the matches progress.

In Danny O'Leary we probably have the best goal keeper in the division.

Our bench is strong as well with O'Dowd(3 goals) all scored coming on as a sub and McGee(2 goals) unable to hold down a starting position

Probable starting 11

O'Leary
Frawley
Sheridan
Hope
Casey
Heffernan
Harty
Gavin
Byrne
Lavine
McTiernan

Big loss for this match is that Ian Rossiter is suspended and would have definitely been in Athlones starting 11.

Looking forward to the match and hopefully a result from it.

around 5 minutes before the game there were people givin out pfai programs for free but no match programs, not a big deal first time it happened and i wouldn't have said anything had marco not asked about the fliers

**Rams Mc 7** · 04/05/2007, 7:07 AM

marco,the reason we have no flags is because you cant buy them anywhere,we had a few small ones before which we got made ourselves.if the club were to sell them in the club shop then people would buy them..your only hope really is to take a trip to villa park

**Rams Mc 7** · 04/05/2007, 7:15 AM

rams to win 2 0..they have some handy players tough..our defence will need to play very well to keep out Mcteirnan and eric lavine..Mcteirnan seems to have a good record against us...........come on the super rams.have a feelin to that kildare might take points off dundalk.they have come on latley

**thegafferman** · 04/05/2007, 9:22 AM

wil take a one nil now .... so far this season the table tells the difference between last yrs... GOALS CONCEEDED........so a clean sheet will do the trick.. we are also getting the rub with the late winners but fergie and jose will tell you its fitness and concentration...but we had that last season as well .... no mattter what the sport is .... you have to have a little luck to help you on your way...the harder you practice ..the luckier you get.

**MojoPin** · 04/05/2007, 10:39 AM

its gonna be a tough tough game on sat night. athlone are a side that have not reached their potential this year and i can see them near the business end of the table come november.... lets just hope we sniff out a win this weekend before they start their climb up the table... and that mctiernan always scores against us.....

exactly i said it before two or three times on this forum, its a disgrace the way we cant get a flag from the club shop, surely every supporter would buy a decent sized flag, we all want to have the bit of colour to support the team.

**Rams Mc 7** · 04/05/2007, 12:30 PM

well siad bellavista man..i totally agree with ya....

**MojoPin** · 04/05/2007, 12:53 PM

Yes, saw the one last night on the carrigtwohill roundabout. Looks good and big and professional. Great that we are starting to position them a bit further out too as before they only started at Belvelly. Hopefully we can get them as far as midleton eventually and get a couple of Midleton lads on the panel also. We would double our support... good work marco

polo shirts are available in fanatics, any club merchandise will be in fanactics, i think they have jackets not 100% on that, but i went to buy an away jersey there a few weeks ago and asked if i could get the Aura sign on the sleeve as he did the teams jerseys and he said it was for the first team only, i thought a sponsors paid to be on replicas also,
