4 Names: Mauro Alexandre De-Silva Almeida
And the man is a star!
If ever we deserved a point out of a game it was tonight. Justice was served in the 92nd minute, although it did take Faz two goes to score.( initial penalty was saved and he followed through on the goalie's parry)Mauro is 4 star

I think the Drogs fans will agree that we deserved our point. So proud of our lads, a great performance, especially in the 2nd half.
ROVERS TILL WE DIE!!!!!!!!!
Deserved the point,Jamie played really well 2nd half.Hope Brush is back in for Friday
RIP JOHNNY
Why did you desever a point? You had a few half chances in the second half when you pushed on, we had about 5-6 breaks where that were half chances. We dominated the game. Should have been 2-0, not 1-1.

Wow - that was an unpredictable response.

I'd say we dominated in terms of possession/pressure, but only had 2 clear-cut chances (Peers's header and Coleman's shot). Ye made our goalie work more with whatever possession ye had. You guys were winning those types of games last year, but not now. Not sure what's gone wrong up there?Why did you desever a point?

Personally speaking, I was disappointed with the booing of Hughes. The lad was a great player for us. Yeah, he made a rash tackle near the start, but it was just a rush of blood.
Nice to see Cooke in the away end too. How many of your Wengers would do that?
Great game of football in Drogheda last night, O’Grady gave Hughes a lesson in midfield and we totally dominated , gave away a stupid goal just before halftime, one of the Drogheda midfielders made a run and Anto Murphy failed to go with him , Murphy didn’t re-appear for the second half. We had Drogheda pinned in for almost all of the second half but are badly missing a striker who can head the ball as we got plenty of crosses in but they were dealt with by the best defence in the league they had a couple of chances on the counter but these were dealt with by Peers who had a great game. The referee and linesbird were brutal all night and we got nothing until the penalty , long kick from the back to Raf who beat a couple of defenders then sent in a low cross with hit a Drogheda players hand waist high, ref looked at the linesbird who took an eternity to award the penalty , Faz stepped up and did a slow motion version of Ronaldos champions league miss but followed up to score with the rebound. One of the most commited second half performances I have witnessed in long time great to see such pride and passion in the team, good noisy away support about 120 for a midweek game it’s a pity Drogheda are moving as united park is a great place to watch a game.

Fine result and definelty needed for morale after the Pats match. Pats match was the most annoyed ive been leaving the showgrounds in ages, so two defets in a row would have been tought on the players. Wel done to the players.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
In the report on Rovers website it shows 7 subs named for Drogs and 2 of them used.
It mentions Aidan O'Keeffe 3 times so that might be the problem?

a draw was the least we deserved last night. Drogs were poor but i think we contained them well. Bit crazy i thought taking taking off Anto, he was taken off for not not tracking back..one mistake, although it did lead to the goal. We showed last night we certainly are not far off the top teams.
You had no chances in the first half. In the second you had two shots from distance. You get a pen for handball which you miss but scramble it home, in injury time.
Yet you collectively nod and agree that:
You dominated the game. You deserved at least a point.
You didn't dominate the game. It was a competitive game and if it was dominated by anyone it wasn't you. You should be happy enough with a point as you clearly are but there is no way you deserved to three, no way. You played some good football at times - I've no probs with agreeing to that.

I seem to have missed the bit in the rules of football about penalties for handball in injury-time, that are scored on the rebound, not really counting.

I'm giving you an example of your "dominance". I am not saying it isn't as worthy was any other goal. You know this. You choose to dodge the truth in my post. Truth make you uncomfortable?

Theres also "an exception to every rule"....and your it...run along now.
Guys, relax! Thought a draw was fair enough result. Drogheda were on top in first half - aided by some soft frees, I might add! But paid the price for sitting back & really just played on the counter second half. I thought Faz was great & I liked Kendrick at left full. Have to say thought the pitch was as good as I've seen in LOI, good nite all round.
You mean Drogheda spent the second half stuck in their own end, looking for half chances on the break?
A word of advice, Clot Ron: it might be no harm to spend more of that nervous energy concentrating on future results, as you're probably going to have to win most of your remaining games to keep the title.

Cretaro
Sligo Rovers favourite Raffaele Cretaro has hailed striker Fahrudin Kudozovic, whose last minute strike at United Park earned the Bit O' Red a valuable point against Drogheda United on Tuesday night.
Cretaro says that the Bosnian striker is crucial to the club's attempts to capture silverware and has praised the club for fighting to keep the much-admired forward at The Showgrounds.
