We make the Back of the Advertiser and nearly other local paper every week.

Only exceptions been when the GAA teams are doing well.

Big Crowd expected tonight.I'd say we'll be looking at 2500-3000.

That was funny 5 months ago.

We can drink the water now.

Any chance of getting more than half of them to stay to the end this time?

I never had any problem with the Galway Advertiser bloke bigging up his team before the season opener. It was just a pity the poor insecure flute used up so much space having a go at Rovers.

Still, events since have shown he was right about one thing - there is one team in Connacht that can be taken seriously.

Galway were muck, we were slightly muckier. One of the biggest games of hoofball I've ever saw.

Faz and Judge were useless up front. Brush kept hoofing it up to them and it was a total waste. Faz is never gonna win a header so it should be played to his feet.

The only positive things are Gordon and Meredith[although dodgy with some passes] had good games. Foy did alright when he came on too.

utd fully deserved their win, fair play to them, we were awful, wes charles is a legend,

Thought the ref was excellent. He took no **** from either side and was strict from the very first tackle. But we were due a good ref after the last twit that reffed the Wahurford game. But Ive also heard supporters on other forums slating Buttimer so they,like us all,have their bad days

Just goes to show........i think every Rovers supporter who was at the game would agree that the ref was awfull. Made some very thoughtless decisions... poor poor preformance from him....

Ah geezer come on....

We've still only one once at home and 4 times all season.

7th is an attainable target but we won't finish ahead of them.

Our next 4 games are Cork(A),Drogheda(H),Rovers(A) and Pats(H).

Those losses to Bray and Waterford will haunt us yet.

Fair play to the Sligo lads that travelled,good crack before and after in Foxs.
