3-2 rovers....to be honest i dont really know how this game will go..all i know is it will be nerve-racking

**red metal** · 02/10/2006, 1:22 PM

Ya just heard Burns and Mc Namara are a real doubt!

**Rory H** · 02/10/2006, 1:56 PM

burns is defo out...mc namara might be risked....flash is out

**feo123** · 02/10/2006, 3:48 PM

we had a bit better luck this year with injuries but now there heapin up! 1-0 rovers.......mc tiernan! after extra time

**red arrow** · 02/10/2006, 9:12 PM

our central defence unit is missing (burns mac) we didnt have this problem before. burns is going to be badly missed as mac isnt 1/2 the player without him. in one way it might be a good thing that mac is out as his lack of pace can be exposed. then however we dont have any height. if we cam master midfield i think we can just about do it. i think he shoud give choice a run at some stage more than 3 mins that was a disgrace the other night he should at least be given 1/2 hour as i said before he is the key to us progressing now is his time to shine. i go for a win fir rovers but its going to be tight.

according to rovers.com,he'll defo be out as is burns

**Rory H** · 03/10/2006, 12:18 PM

im hoping he drops judge and plays choice....judge had his chance saturday to score against them..now choice should...john bellew is worthy of a place on the bench too i think

as supporters i think we will play a big role thursday..they will be vocal and fans from clubs in their league are coming to support them so we have to just sing for 90 mins and show them we are superior

From Setanta Sports:

Tuesday, 3 October 15:54 BST

Sligo Rovers defender Liam Burns has been ruled out for up to three weeks after sustaining an ankle injury against Killester United in their drawn FAI Carlsberg Cup quarter-final on Saturday.

Rovers will now be without their star defender for Thursday's replay with the non-league Dublin outfit and may have further injury worries to contend with as regular central defensive partner to Burns, Michael McNamara, is struggling with a thigh strain, while top scorer Darren Mansaram is also a doubt with a groin problem.

Sligo boss Sean Connor told the club's official website:

"It was a big blow. I think Liam Burns is the one player on the park we don't like to be without. I certainly don't like to be without him, he marshals the back four, reads the game well and he keeps everyone on their toes."

Killester produced a spirited performance at the Showgrounds to hold the Premier division high fliers, and the AUL side will be confident ahead of Thursday's rematch at Tolka Park after their defensive display on Saturday.

Having defeating Leinster Senior League outfit Wayside Celtic in the second round of the FAI Cup the northside outfit were then handed a bye into the last eight following the demise earlier this year of Dublin City football club, and Connor is full of praise for the little known team.

"I have a lot of respect for Killester. They came here with a game plan, a very good game plan. We watched them and saw them play 3-4-3 a lot. We thought they would play 3-5-2 against us and they did. We did not get the ball wide with enough urgency or early enough, and our balls when we did get it wide were not good enough. They stuck to their game plan and fair play to them."

Having already reached the penultimate stage of this season's FAI Carlsberg Cup, Longford Town, Shamrock Rovers and Derry City await the winners of Thursday's clash in the hat for the semi-finals draw.

**Rebal Boy** · 03/10/2006, 8:16 PM

A shock 1-0 for Killester Utd.

**SligoBrewer** · 03/10/2006, 8:29 PM

jealously does funny things

**Red4Eva** · 03/10/2006, 8:33 PM

if it's still 0-0 after 70mins killester will be f*ckin juiced and we prob get a cupla late goals but i don't think it'll come to that. 4-0 foyzer to get his confidence back with a 30 yarder&harps to make sh*te of em and tee choice up for a hat trick

**SligoBrewer** · 03/10/2006, 8:39 PM

killester were building up to that game for ages.
the rush is gone now, they've faced the lads and got a result.
they'll not be in the same state of mind on thursday
eg. Burton Albion V Manchester Utd last year
