Really annoyed at Shamrock Rovers.

I was looking for tickets to the Rovers v Bohs match and there was nothing on ticketmaster so I phoned and emailed the Rovers office but they didn't answer. This afternoon I heard them advertising tickets are still for sale, but by then I had made other plans!

I'm tired of League of Ireland clubs complaining about poor attendences, and then don't have the basic competance to reply to people who are trying to buy tickets! I haven't been to a LOI match in years and if this is how they carry on then I won't be rushing back. They need to get their bloody act together.

It's on TV now and there are loads of empty seats. Ridiculous.

Eh.....why didn't you just turn up and pay at the gate???

Captain Havoc · 30-03-2012 7:48pm

I've never been to a sold out LOI match. I've travelled up from Kilkenny assuming there'd be tickets. Plan B was to head to Tolka.

Nalz · 30-03-2012 8:44pm

fúck it

Mars Bar · 30-03-2012 8:45pm

Brilliant touch and excellent finish from Twigg!

ShamoBuc · 30-03-2012 10:02pm

Another 1-1 draw at home, another 2pts dropped. It's taking us a little longer to get used to playing in the higher division, but I'm sure we'll come good in the weeks and months ahead.

Hammer Archer · 30-03-2012 10:07pm

Some quality goals in the UCD - Monaghan game. Definitely worth a look on Monday night. Deserved win for UCD.

Shocking result for yous if you have top 5 aspirations.

From what I saw of Cronin's sending off it looked like just a late tackle with Kelly getting a bout of penis envy. We weren't excellent regardless. Neither were Pats though.

Of course we have top 5 aspirations.
Mid table finish would only be a place below that though;)

Tonight was the night to get 3 points, but like said yesterday if I was Bray supporter I would have felt they could get something from the Cross.

Leaving in too many late goals now also.

_blank_ · 30-03-2012 10:29pm

Decent game in Tolka, draw probably a good result.

Cronin's red fully deserved.

I'm very pissed off.

At every footballground in the bloody world, the away fans are held back before the home fans get to leave. Not this time, Whitehall's finest ovetimers decide to hem us in crushing against a door.

Cúnts.

Very true. Scoring the 2nd goal is the issue, it would give the lads the comfort to control and close out a game rather than feel the need to defend a one goal lead.
Bohs next - probably going to be 1-1!

Yep draw looks most likely or Bohs to win by single goal

5th is certainly a midtable finish too. 4th I guess can be either way depending on the gap.

If you can't master the act of buying a ticket at the ground on the night of the game, you would probably find stuff like finding toilets, buying programmes or paying for chips impossible so it's no loss.

Has to happen sooner or later and will probably be a late equaliser against us.....get on it!!

Get off your armchair and just go to the ground and buy your ticket.

I swear to God, i'll end up bald by the time the season is over from tearing my hair out watching Pat's. Whilst i was happy with the squad that was being assembled, it was glaringly obvious that a lack of goals would be an issue and that's the case so far this season.

We dominated tonight, certainly in the second half, even before the sending off, but we just don't have anyone to finish chances and put the ball in the back of the net on a regular basis.

If we had a Danny North in the team, i reckon we'd have four extra points this season by beating Shels and Monaghan.

It isn't the lack of a finisher in your team as far as I saw. For all the posession you had in the second half, you had very little penetration, and never looked like creating many chances for any striker.

Yeah, there weren't as many chances created as there should have been considering the possession, but even when got chances, they weren't taken. I mean, Jake Kelly's chance! :rolleyes: Jesus. We didn't even test your keeper.

By the way, who's your number 17? The left back? He had a decent game, i thought!

Sean Byrne, wasn't overly impressed with him myself. Thought Cronin was our best up until the sending off followed by Dawson in the second half.

I can see Pats style of football eventually doing the business against the weaker teams in the league, but I do think a lack of really quality players to play that system will hurt you badly against the likes of us (maybe if we keep up our first 5 games), both Rovers and Derry.

Mushy · 30-03-2012 11:50pm

Delighted that Bray managed to snatch a point down in Cork, will be much needed I'd say.

Went to the UCD-Mons match, the first half was dire bar 3 or 4 moments. Really picked up in the second half when UCD started playing, and they definitely were thebetter team from there on in. Been to two matches there this season, seen 10 goals now.

dreamers75 · 31-03-2012 12:01am

2 shots vs 11 men, 2 shots vs 10 men.

Shels are rubbish, a complete LSL side if ever i saw one with a fattie up front. Shels gameplan "clip" it forward....."clip" it forward......seriously lads your the in the premier league not the pheonix park. I would be worrying if i was a shels fan. red card was never a red cronin lost control of the ball and stuck a leg out russell was up fairly quick. but in loi it seems its a red nowadays.

We need a cutting edge and hes back next week, what worries me is he wasnt in the plan we kinda got him by default so to me we have no backup. We play all the football pretty as can be but 4 ****in shots vs a rubbish team.

Got caught outside with the shels fans, police wouldnt let us to the pats end where we were parked. the pats bus was outside fagans so we had to cross paths at some point what an utterly stupid exercise. Altho did get to see a Shels Schooligan run tru the park towards another shels schooligan before they reaslised they were both shels fans, i laughed.

Wow, wow!!! Gotta laugh. We've spent five years in the First and you reckon we should be worried for taking eight points from the first five games?

The "fattie" you refer to, you could desperately do with.

Pat's have spent big and have drawn with Mon U, Bohs

and ten men Shels. But yeah, we have problems!!! :pac:

From what I saw Cronin's red was justified-he had no complaints. Stupid lunge considering the part of the pitch he was in. :mad:

You were parked at the Pats end?

Seriously, wtf?

New gimp apperently in charge in Whitehall and he went against all the advice of Shels officials and his fellow public servant wasters. :rolleyes:

monkey9 · 31-03-2012 12:34am

I didn't see Cronin's challenge as i was looking down at my phone at the time :rolleyes: but judging by his reaction, i guessed it was a straight red. No complaints whatsoever.

How come our gates were opened at the same time as the home fans? I can't remember being to Tolka before when we weren't held back?

monkey9 · 31-03-2012 12:35am

Mick Cooke is doing some job at Drogheda!!

born2bwild · 31-03-2012 12:43am

Yeah - but I reckon a lot of their strength is down to the 3 Brennans, Fabio and Sava. In LoI terms, top class players - not only that, but top class players who really know how to play together. The difference with them on the field is immense. (Well, I only saw one friendly - Drogs/Lim pre season so this post may not actually be an accurate reflection of the real world -I think it's close enough, though)

Your gameplan is clip if forward....good luck with that.

Fairly sure our new team will get better, your team is over acheiving, i expected a to see a game tonight.

You won't be playing against a keeper like Skinner every week.

In fairness, i thought we played some decent stuff, just nothing happening much in the final third.

In terms of who will get out goals, i'm pinning my hopes on Dean Kelly. He would have put away the chance Jake Kelly had.

As for the Skinner comment, we didn't even make him work tonight. I could have been in goal for you's and it still would have finished one all so i think a the quality of keeper is redundant in this case.

Is Skinner really not rated?? Was he at Drogheda by the way?? He probably wasn't, but i just have that connection in my head.

Your right lads, i forgot i used to go to Tolka to to see 2 decent teams play ball, forgot how far you have fallen.

but yeah....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: that makes you feel better about your team.....well good luck with that. Us premier folk expect better fare, not the ****e you served up tonight. "clip" it forward and hope it sticks with fattie....... jaysis lads calla a spade a spade......

Mahons teams played ball, we had Bradley and Mc Faul and the "beast" in the middle guess thats convienentley forgotten when it suits.

Darkglasses · 31-03-2012 3:08am

Can't believe the Youths could be in the hunt for a play off spot this year. We've only three or four lads with proper league of ireland experience in the whole squad!

GLaDOS · 31-03-2012 3:34am

Despite the loss, I take some positives from our performance. Actually tried to get forward at times. Keith Ward caused some trouble when he came on. Get him back next week against Cork who aren't firing all cylinders and we might even score!

Except that McFaul rarely got a start and Bradley has a pass completion rate of about 20% and an attitude that makes Joey Barton look like Kofi Anan.
Mahon's team played ball? Karpaty Lvov would beg to differ.

We're so bad you couldn't beat us with ten men. gtfo tbh, your football was shíte too.

8 points from that run of fixtures is a decent return for us, expect about 15 more points from the next 6 games though. Probably get 10.

Dub XV · 31-03-2012 11:18am

I don't understand why Pats fans think Shels should be playing like Barca??

I can only guess it is alcohol related mixed with a drop of frustration.........and add a tinge of dissapointment.......No ice.

I am sure most Shels fans are happy enough so far with the points on the board. 1st season up after 5 down will do that to you. While I head back to reality, go take some painkillers for the head

Sean Byrne who's father played for Pats iirc. I also thought he had a solid game. One mistake near the end where he tried to carry the ball out instead of a hoof straight back to ye, and over ran it. Otherwise I thought he di well.

Your right. Those three ball playing midfielders were forgotten by Mahon! All it was for yous last year was Rogers with the long ball to Kavanagh, North or Anto Murphy. And it worked. And yous didn't complain then. So get off your high horse.

It was a lazy effort imo.

great result for harps down in waterford, especially after what happened to ciaran (got treatment on the pitch fro 20mins & was supposed to be out cold for a bit but its looking like the only lasting effect is a concussion,thank god). 16 year old patton came in and saved a penalty along the way (has 11 clean sheets from 15 for the u19s).
young paul simon tracey also stepped up also after o'donnells injury getting a goal and put in the corner for the og too.
good thing we brought in 39 year old peter hutton to stabilise the defence keep the age average up:pac:
