    Wexford Youths v Shelbourne Draw

    Interesting call DesF.. Would have thought it would be a match that Shels would expect to win, albeit not easily. Hence my 0-1 predicition in the other thread.
    Or are you playing down Shels chances so if they win it'll look look a good result???!

    I don't know tbh.

    We haven't really hit form at the front yet, and only Anto Flood actually looks like scoring.

    Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if we got beat tbh, because our defence that looked rock solid in pre-season hasn't started well, and we have a few injuries there tonight too.

    How is Damien Brennan doing in Defense for ye? And that wanker Freeman?

    Great, he's a quality player. And the captain.

    Why is he not in the Prem?


    And that wanker Freeman?
    Meh.

    Wanker?

    Do explain.

    Yea Floods a decent striker i have to admit.. I do still expect Philly Hughes to score a few providing he gets some games. He'll probably wait till he's in Oriel to start scoring!!

    I'll take your word for it on the game playing. Although i have a feeling u tipped shels for a draw last week!! Are you really superstitious desf?? Do you wear a coin in your left sock, do you always wear the same matchday underwear..... Sorry, losing the plot there a little.

    I will hope for a Shels draw and a Waterford draw, and a massive win for the Lilywhites in Lisbon or Fingal or wherever the fcuk that team are from...!

    lol

    the only superstition I have is to wear the same top whenever Boardeaux are playing.

    :)

    Was surprised that Damien didnt join a team in the Prem. Was immense last season for Longford. Freeman decided to **** off and not tell anyone where he was going around the time of the cup final. Cup final suit bought, rooms booked etc. Did not have the decency to tell anyone.

    Yep, one thing though.

    Was he called "Daisy" when he was with your lot?

    It's a bit....er....wtf kinda nickname is that....isn't it?

    Did he go on holidays or what?

    Bizarre.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,154 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    He was called Daisy, and I have no idea why!

    He was meant to have been in New York.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_

    He looks a bit like a cow.

    Ah no.

    Damien
    Damo.
    Daisy.

    I'd say.

    It's still a bit ghey though.

    Interesting. Another reason to gloat tomorrow!! :D

    His record is quite poor against the hoops, one goal in 20+ games, and that was in 2001 IIRC.

    He has a few more than that but its a great day to bring back memories of the Santry Siro Massacre, cheers :D

    Think his last one against Rovers was the equaliser before McGuinness got the late looping header winner last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,365 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Not sure how to feel about Grand Slam Friday. I'd usually be confident Rovers could get a result but you never know in games like this. Taken the day off work for it and to be honest I'd be useless in there now anyway, can't think of anything but beating the Gypos.

    Grand Slam Friday
    :eek:

    problem? :D

    St. Patrick's Athletic 4 4 0 0 8 1 12
    Shamrock Rovers 4 3 1 0 6 1 10
    Derry City 4 3 1 0 8 4 10
    Bohemians 4 3 0 1 6 2 9

    We could go 4 points clear or 3rd by 9:30 :confused: on Grand Slam Friday

    Highlights of both games on Tv3 tonight, i do like tv3 playing catch up.

    Grand Sham Friday more like.

    ffs, get a better name instead of stealing of them over there.

    Yiz will be calling it eL Classico next.

    I think you'll find that El Classico was stolen by Barca and Real from the original 'DE CLASSIC', between Drogheda and Dundalk.....!

    One Derby to rule them all,
    One Derby to find them,
    One Derby to bring them all
    and in the darkness bind them

    Lads, I'm on about the only Derby match that matters.

    Shelbourne versus Sporting Fingal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    Cork City up 1-0 after a very dubious penalty decision. Pen converted by Mooney.

    We needed something like that to kickstart the season.

    Almost 3,500 at it which is probably a record for a Cork vs UCD game.

    The buzz is around the club again.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    we were poor and derry deserved the win, goal was a horrendous mistake by our keeper.

    Crowe takes over as Bohs leading scorer :)

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Bohs still struggling to find some form, hopefully we can kickstart our season against Bray next week.

    Agreed but if we keep grinding out results like that Ill be happy, Byrne had a couple of great chances aswell so a good few positives to take out of it.
    Rovers wont finish in the top 5.

    Really. It's all too beautiful.

    Delighted with the result over Rovers last night as had other commitments and could not make it so was updated with texts from mates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,121 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Rovers were poor last night. Kept hitting high balls, but only winning one header in ten.

    Rovers singing however was top class!

    Also, Super Mario Bohs, worst banner ever!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,365 ✭✭✭✭super_furry

    Commically bad.

    It was a poor game, with two teams playing poor nervous football. Bohs capatilised on a shocking mistake in the Rovers defence and held out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,890 ✭✭✭SectionF


    It was a derby played in a downpour, with a shockingly biased and excitable ref. So you were never going to get total football.

    But hey, in spite of Buttimer and Roddy, and not forgetting the fabulously foolish Rovers hubris here and elsewhere, guess what? We won! :D

    BTW, @ hoop who said Crowe rarely scores against you, his record, it seems, is 15/24.

    Worse than "SRFC Dublin's Club".:rolleyes:

    Drogs were pretty poor against Galway. A better team will stuff us if we perform as badly again. However, 3 points are very welcome after the last few weeks.
