What a match can't believe we did it again 1.0 down in the final minutes to a rovers team in tallaght and go on to win it. Nice.

Top class. Well done to everyone. Even Glenn, right Paul? Didn't want to leave the stadium. Good to see the team acknowledging us at the end too. Legendary performance; Ger O'Brien is such a good defender. Love that crossbar.

Great win for us today.

Was one of the best games to be at all season. The finish just sent us mad, didnt want to leave and we where still singing when the lads came back out for their warm down. Great stuff and how much do fingal love Tallaght:D

I hope you got permission to repost those photos.

I missed the match but was talking to Clarke and he said he never touched him, if anything he kicked out to get the penalty.

Justice that it was missed.

This really makes the league interesting.

added in the copyright info, that any use???

Mcfaul was a great addition to have back without doubt. We controlled everything in midfield and rarely had any mistakes in defence. O'Brien was great against his old club. We defended well on the set pieces with Shane and Lorcan doubling up on thier danger men and left them little room to carve out chances. The penalty was a penalty but only for the reason that there was contact. Clarkey didn't take the man but as he ran on, he made contact with Bren's foot and 9 times out of 10 the ref will give it. Great to see it missed as it wasn't deserved. Was a poor view on Setanta as to whether their goal was offside so I'm not sure if it was deserved. The Setanta camera men must not have realised we were there as all they showed were Rovers fans. A great atmosphere at the end and I could have stayed all night but the blisters were gettin too much Our 2nd goal might have been a slice of luck but a goal is a goal and I'm now looking forward to European football next season
Until Galway peeps, Ravens march on!

The setanta coverage was muck pre match spend twenty minutes or more talking about the Ireland v Russia game, it looked as if it was an inconvenience for them to talk about the game. And apparentley we don't celebrate our goals because we didn't warrant the camera coming over to us. I know we ain't a big away support but do us the decency of showing us celebrate.

You said that like you know me, haha. Id love to make it to the matches on Fridays, but there's reasons for me never making them, and those reasons will keep me away from this one aswell unfortunately.

Another must win game on friday folks at home against Galway. A win will see us go into fourth and 1 point behind sligo in third and in that all important final europa league qualifying spot.
Spread the word folks that it will be another cracker of a game and we need as many people as possible to be there cheering them on to a win.

Woo, Im actually going to make this game. The Fingal have beaten them twice and drawn once against them so far this season, no reason why we can't beat them a third successive time. The challenge for a European spot is looking good!

Folks,

Does anyone know where you can get a Sporting fingal jersy or jumper etc part from inside the ground?

I collected my hoody at the office and I know of others who have collected jerseys and other stuff there. Hope that helps.

billyhead

Cheers,

Would you know how much the jersey and hoodie or jumper retails at? Also will they be changing to a new jersey for next season?

If they are still available, first years jerseys (the black ones) are 10 I think. The white jersey from year two is 25 or 30 I think. Hoodie is 50 last I heard.
Not sure about the black jersey from year 2.

I think it might be a new jersey next year but not sure yet. christ after re-reading all that im not sure about much am i

Im sure if I have any of that wrong someone can put me right.

Pre-match article there for tonights match from Extratime.ie. See we are without Williams (suspension) and Maher is a doubt due to injury. Zayed is back from his international debut with Libya so he might feature at some stage tonight. Have to take 3 points from this one and on form we should but as we have seen before we can drop points too easily. However after last weekends win our lads should be on form to win this one.
A Crowe hat-trick would do just nicely, the man has popped in some very important goals this season for us and while there have been some frustrating times as in the openning game against Boh's when he missed a sitter. His equaliser earlier in the season against Rovers at Tallaght his other one agains Pat's the other weekend and his winner last weekend shows what a great player he has been for the League so it would be nice to see his current form continue.
Second last night at Morton before the season ends and fighting for Europe. Lets give it a good turnout and hopefully some great football.
See you boys up there.
Come on The Ravens.

Just seen on the facebook page that all merchandise prices have been slashed for tonights game. This comes directly from the club. Might be an easy way to get a few things billy. The quality of the stuff is great and would definitely be worth it at lower prices. I intend to have a look myself.

billyhead

Hi,

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it down tonight. Do you think the tops they will be selling at discounted prices will be vailable to pick up from their head office in Swords?

TangyZizzle

Come on man all the contact info you needed was in the link Lamper already posted for you.

relax there mate, he was asking sporting fingal fans about things relating to sporting fingal, as we are trying to get as much fans on board as we can we are more then happy do give out information even is it means repeating ourselfs, we dont need people giveing smart answers back.

What a goal from Lorcon. Haha no way he meant it. Good win though hopefully we can finish strong now in the last 2 games.

TangyZizzle

Good night in the Santry Siro, freak goal from Lorcan but Im certainly not complaining. Got my home jersey for an absolute steal too, that lad workin the merch stand is a saint.

ViperGTS

From Lorcan himself. "had u been closer, you would have heard me shout 'watch out keeps' haha" Good result tonight and meant or not, a goal of the season contender

born2bwild

Loved Lorcan's goal. I guess Seanie Williams is favourite for player of the year but that goal tonight puts Lorcan in the picture now too. Hawkins played well; he's a top defender and Finner was again, brilliant. Lightning's positional awareness is very impressive: always showing for it, making the angle, tracking back, making the killer pass and he scores too (think of the equaliser against St Pat's at home a few weeks back and the winner away to Dundalk in July). I'll miss watching him play in the winter months. Have to make do with the premiership millionaires for a while. I'm off to tallaght to see the other semi on Sunday. I'll be a lone voice shouting 'hup hup hup' in response to Mr St Pat's Sea Lion. Hup hup hup!!!!

Finner for me with Williams a close second imo.
