Sligo Rovers 1-2 Bohemians

[feo123]

turner should have been booked for that

[Redkenrover]

Definately deserved a draw from that last night. Thought Anto was poor and didnt look interested at times. Cash looked lively when he came on, although should have hit the target in the last few moments. Likewise Coleman, went for power when should have placed it.
Would have confidence in the fact that we can produce a grand stand finish and with a bit of luck could have gotten a draw at least.
Awaiting MNS with interest to see "foul" for disallowed goal.

What about Boco and Ventre in the middle with Raf and Cash on the wings with Faz and Judge up front??????????
Gap between our midfield and front two was huge in first half. No creativity at all. O Grady doesnt seem to be firing on all cylinders.

Missed opener v Drogs but would like to commend the club on the effort to improve the atmosphere. The Cookie monster song is brilliant!!

On another issue, when did the Showgrounds become a hot bed for terrorist activity??????? Had my 3 year old son at game last night and he had his small rugsack searched by an overzealous steward on the way into the ground

Good job he had left his laser gun at home

Great crowd. Think there was enough to bring people back. DB was giving out small Easter eggs out at half time to the kids. Nice touch

Have to disagree there about Cash. He's never been the same since his injury. Gets the ball, runs with it, gets stuck between his feet, loses it is all he does. Anto is a better option.

Has to be one to stop people bringing in flares and whatnot. Its their job and we should be thankful of the great work that the stewards do. Although it's worth noting that with the huge queues at the turnstiles last night, my bag wasn't searched. Especially with the fines last week, I thought they would have been extra vigilant, but evidently not.

As for the eejits who threw something(a bar i think) at the bohs players after their 2nd goal and a bottle a few minutes later - grow the f*** up.

I think a large group saw what happened,nobody want to rat on anyone so thats good advice. its getting tedious now though.i got an earful when i said something to the individual/group. apparently i havent been supporting rovers for enough years to tell a man not to throw a bar of chocolate or whatever it was at footballers

Yeah I tohught I heard him say " I've been supporting rovers for x amount of years". Pathetic,by throwing something at the opposition and getting us a fine does he actually think he is supporting the team?


as for the turner thing why would he get booked? Its not actually against the rules.

I also felt butler deserved motm,he played very well.

[SligoBrewer]

He feigned injury.
He also gained an advantage from it.

Yellow Card offence.

Yes it is - it comes under unsporting behaviour, same as being booked for trowing the ball away, time wasting, etc.

but he might have been hurt*,ya can't know,he was fouled.

I'm not knocking the stewards and they do tremendous work, but obviously if you had flares and whatnot you would have gotten in. If I was bringing in a flare I would put it in my pocket and not a bag. If thats the case do we assume security is compromised if there is a big crowd at the turnstiles and no searches will be conducted?

He was down on the ground for at least 60 seconds beforehand looking for attention, and gets right up and plays on perfectly without looking for any further attention when he sees he can get the ball. If he had looked for the physio again, fair enough.

Our football last night was, on the whole, brutal. The players seem to have lost faith in their ability to play good football on the deck and the odd time we did do that - mainly after the substitutions were made - we caused Bohs all sorts of problems. Our midfield was terrible last night especially in the first half and our defence struggled in that opening 45 minutes as well. I thought Seamus was having a very poor game until the last quarter and cannot understand how he got man-of-the-match. For me Butler was our best player. I also agree that it would be worth switching Coleman with Murphy if he is going to persevere with Murphy.

We need to get back to the style we were playing during the middle of last season and there were a few glimpses of that last night.

The last time we won a competitive match was when we beat UCD 2 - 1 on 19th September last year.

I agree with every point you've made there. Butler should have been MOTM

i know i get whay ye are saying but I don't think any ref would have actually booked him for it. I know if a rovers player got booked for the same thing I wouldn't be too pleased

[Redkenrover]

Nice to see Boco has a fellow countryman in the Rovers squad with him. Should help him settle in

Robbed last night would be the answer. Bohs had the first half, Rovers were about to destroy them in the second period. Great delivery by Butler for the disallowed goal. The stuffing was well knocked out of them when Bohs broke and scored. The breeze was the major factor in the game.

its to do with any flares, pyro etc. not being allowed in the ground

[Boo_Boy]

what c**t would use a 3 year old to smuggle flares into a rovers game?

[Redkenrover]

This is about the fifth time in the last year his bag has been searched going in. I must have a very suspicious looking face!

well if theirs a turbin covering half of it how can they see?

Yes the stewards do a good job but there were flares at the sligo v drogs game
