Can't wait, its the type of game we should be filling 2 or 3 buses for, but we know that wont happen. hopefully we can geta couple of hundred at least upto it and create as good an atmosphere as possible. probably best to sing nothing about sean connor as he just thrives on it, and loves the attention. but i suppose i'll even find it hard myself to stop abusing him.
as for the game itself our midfield has been shot in the arm with the loss of captain and vice captain. id probably push Raff into the middle with boyd and then pick one from 2 or 3 others for the left wing! hard to know what cooky will do, whether it be manson, gordon, meredith or foy even on the left all can do a good job. hopefully judgy will be okay. id take a point but i know we can get all 3!
any thoughts?
Vital game really , they are only a point behind us , winning would create a nice gap , not too sure about Raff in the middle there , might be a bit too lightweight , they will most likely have Hunt and O'Donnell or Turner there . I presume Turner will receive the same abuse that Mansaram received last time in Dalymount.
Not the whole game. And about thriving on it, i think we really got to him when we beat them at home.Originally Posted by feo123

coleman peers mckenzie foy
cash boyd raff gordon
faz judge
thats the team i would pick, central midfield is going to be a huge problem, agree raff might be a bit lightweight but havent really got a lot of options, id be tempted to put someone like gary curran in there if he had a lot more match fitness, think he is a player who hasnt really had a fair chance this season, would also be tempted to play ventre in centre of defence (think he has done well when played there) to cope with with crowe and mansaram but mckenzie still edges it, foyzer too has been solid since he has come back in and gives us an added threat from set pieces,
i wont abuse turner.
he gave 100% for the bit o'red. unlike mansaram
wrong thread.. sorry
possibly play faz a bit deeper and play 4-5-1/4-3-3 to compensate for lack of conor's energy?? all depends on what tactics the poison dwarf goes for though. turner doesn't deserve abuse like clunk or cripple boy, he might have been a d**k for the way he left but he only did that cos he's thick
If Mansaram got abuse I dont see why Turner shouldnt , I know he gave us 100% but he left at the first oppurtunity for more money , Im sure Sean Connor gave 100% to us when he working for us
Mansaram stated publicly that he wouldn't leave Rovers unless he was going back to England.
Mansaram was our top scorer last season , didnt see too many people complaining about him last season , I understand Burns not getting abuse due to the circumstances of his departure
sorry completely misread that there...
RT is completely right here...
Turner, knowing him personally wouldnt be the sarpest knife in the drawer. But when you're offered the type of money he was to play ball elsewhere then you dont need to be a rocket scientist to take the offer up. Its LOTS more than he was on in the showgrounds, and lets remember he has no sentiment for rovers, hes a young man who came here to play football and earn a wage, and he did his best whilst here. Dont think he deserves abuse tbh, same with burnsy. On both players contracts rovers just couldnt compete. And on another note it looks like it will be the same story with Hughes. On the other hand sean connors is a canaiving **** and mansaram after his antics in the showgrounds deserves dogs abuse. He was only here for a holiday.....
No point giving Turner abuse, he has alot of time for the club and fans,
I'll be applauding him if anything.
Massive difficulty in midfield, I think i would have to go with Curren, we need a physical presence there which we're not gonna get from
Raf. I'm worried about Boyd, for a big lad he doesn't seem to get into the rhythm of the game. He was missing for large parts of the UCD game. Cant afford that against Bohs.

Whats that comin' over the hill
It's the Monster,
The Cookie Monster!
really don't agree with what is being said here.to say mans was here for a holiday is completely wrong.when that lad was on the pitch he always gave his best for sligo rovers.if any of us was in his situation at 22 years of age, being offered the sort if money he was at bohs we would have gone too.i wouldn't mind if he was an arrogant ******** or something but he's actually a sound lad and doesn't deserve the stick he got.chrissy turner was always top quality for us so i don't get this mentality of "let's abuse him"!!connor deserves every bit of abuse he gets so i say if you want to abuse aim it at someone who deserves it, not lads who don't.
thread becoming pointless, we should be concentrating on our own situation coming into the bohs game and not on what player does or doesnt deserve abuse!
I'm gonna miss this game as I'm away but I wouldn't abuse Turner anyway. Mansaram and Singh[if he's not still injured] should be booed every time they get the ball. Obviously, Sean Connor should get the abuse too, and maybe Rossiter for forgetting where he's from when he scored the last game. Burns and Turner shouldn't get abused.
To the game itself, with O'Grady and Hughes out, I can't see us get anything from this match.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
I will have a few drinks b4 the game and i doubt i will have any energy left to abuse individual players once i have finished with abusing Quasimodo!!!
On the other hand i am slightly worried about Chelsea poaching Paul "the really special one!" Cook

look what that wa**er mansaram was like in the last game, clapping for the penalty, asking for coleman to be booked and celebrating over pointing at us in the stand. what a pr*ck!
I hope Turner plays up front again so Ventre can crunch him in the first few minutes, I think its vital that he plays because we are very lightweight without Hughes and O' Grady. I think Mansarem atitude wise is the worst of our rejects up there.
singh?
