Mahons mother died yesterday so doubt he will be there and should be a minutes a silence.

Any truth in the rumours of Mahons second in command going to Bohs?

Metro this morning had him ahead of the usual suspects, buckley, etc

GLaDOS

Be surprised if we got anything out of this

He applied for the Monaghan job, so reckon if he gets a managers job he be gone. Well liked by players and fans.


Roderick wants the Cork job seemingly :eek:

The Connacht Derby. Time to move on from the Cockhill shambles and beat the Sligs.

We'll probably play the team that beat Bohs except Sean Kelly will come in for the injured Gary Curran. Fleming, Maher, Bobby Ryan and Cash should all come back into the team.

The obligatory LOI weekly thread without 1st division fixtures I see.

Roddy stiring the poo in the build up to the Cork City vs Monaghan game. Should make for a good atmosphere.

Headline on the Back page of the Echo down here on today(Wednesday). Can't buy that kind of publicity.

"Roddy attacks City boss Dunne"

Some quotes from the Rod.

“They’ve got the finances, the players, the best stadium in the league…if you can’t achieve promotion in the First Division with a club like that, you should be shot"

"But, unfortunately they have a boy doing a mans job as their manager"

“It’s a no-brainer. Cork City getting out of the First Division, that’s a piece of cake. What pressure? Pressure is when you’re at the bottom of the league and looking to stay up. Pressure is when you’re one game away from dropping out of the Football League. That’s real pressure, not down in Cork. It should be a pleasure going to work down there at a club that size, not pressure.”

“There’s no doubt about it, I would have got them promoted last season for sure. There’s no pressure down there. Getting Cork promoted from the First Division is a piece of cake. It’s easier than being at any other club in the country, and I mean all 32 counties. You’ve got Shamrock Rovers and Bohs and then you have Cork City. They’re the three big clubs in the country.”

Quotes from extratime.ie & Evening Echo.

Two big games this weekend with the Corkies playing Mons and ourselves playing Stab City lads.

Can see it being a tough match for us, but hopefully we can hold onto our 100% record for this season.

Play like you did against Dundalk and good chance of getting a draw. Pats long ball game will suit Bohs defence

stovelid

Think MON needs to freshen the starting 11 slightly. Like most Rovers supporters, I'd like to see Ricer or O'Donnell getting more game time.

Do think the goals will spring out of this team soon though and hopefully it will be tomorrow night.

Play like we did against galway and we'll be embarressed. Considering the amount of crap that's gone on this week, I suspect the latter is more likely

Bit of a selection nightmare really. Nearly the whole midfield have scored, especially areas where theres a good bit of contention for. McCabe has 2, Paddy has 2. Rice has 1, Turner has 1, Kelly has 1.

Out of the strikers everyone bar O'Neill has scored, who IMO has been out best striker.

Its such a nice problem for rovers to have. Its been a long long while since our midfield actually scored goals.

Id say same team as Derry but with Ricer and Paddy coming in.

Turner is listed as doubtful so hopefully SOD or Ricer can stake a claim.

I too would start Paddy.

Finally nothing on a Friday night for the first time in years so bout to set off for Carlisle Grounds. Hoping for another good result for Bray.

dundalkbhoy

i think we will struggle against ucd ..draw.
irelands shame will beat the drogs.
derry will beat bray.
sligo will beat galway.
pats and bosh will be a draw.
shels v limerick will be draw.
cork will beat mons.
mervue will beat wexford.

Pighead

One way traffic in Oriel. UCD not showing anything after a decent opening 5 mins. Will be shocked if we don't win this.

Pighead

2-0 half time. Plain sailing in the North East.

Mushy

One all at the Carlisle at HT. Good play with few iffy offsides.

We should be deducted points for that travesty of a football match.

Easily the worst match i have ever seen and i shall never speak of it again.

4 team accumulator: Rovers, Rovers #2, Dundalk and Pats. Fúck off Pats.

4-0 win and a dominant performance against Drogs for Rovers by all accounts.

Pats let me down too. They were awful. Cant believe they didnt test the keeper, him injured and all. Terrible penalty too.

The worst game of football i have ever seen,with now without doubt the worst referee in the league.First Rovers match i have missed in years and i had the plessure of watching 2 of the worst teams i have ever seen in the league of Ireland.RTE should of pulled the plug at half time.

David McMillan should of got his shot on target 15 mins before the end, keeper couldn't move.

Thought we did well to hold out.

damn you and your quote, i intended to never speak of this again!

Never a peno and would have been harsh on bohs who should have won it, ye didnt have to hold out against much. O brien sent off and didnt leave the pitch i honeslty cant complain on that one.

We have a great squad but a **** team, Kenna out for 6 weeks i dont see us improving anytime soon. We need to play the ****ing deadly wingers we have not Doyle and Anto "diving **** " Murphy. We have proper ball playing midfielders but none of them show for the ball so defenders left to lump it.

if i have to watch that **** again im stabbing myself in the eyeballs.

Sorry 5000th post and all.

The linesman had to run over and tell the ref it wasn't a second booking for O'Brien which was an absolute joke.

Fairly sure Flood dived aswell.

Great atmosphere at the end even though the bottle throwing was bang out of order. Only 3 lads were thrown out for it aswell, surely there was more than that doing it?

Very poor match, point was definitely all we deserved anyway, desperately need Fagan back. We're gonna have no ****ing team to put out next week if we have that many injuries. Our centre half Feely is backup to Sexton now in goal after Murphys injury.

We dont throw away fans out? Only home fans we let the away fans do what they want.

Can play on the pitch if you want, we not allowed

RustySpoon

Rubbish game, brought my wife and she nearly fell asleep ( as did I ). Not a good advertisement for the league tonight, driving an hour to watch that every few weeks will soon get tiresome. Family enclosure also sucks.

Good chips before the game though.

applehunter

Very enjoyable game at the Cross tonight in very blustery conditions. Referee was pathetic. You thing the Premier Division is bad....

At one stage he game a penalty to City for their goalkeeper taking down their defender, only to be overruled by the linesman. Fair enough but then a few minutes later he doesn't give a stone waller after Cummins was brought down.

Cracking equalizer from Davin O'Neill 10 minutes from time. Rounded 2 players and then chip/shot into the top corner. Beautiful.

Overall a good performance. Still can improve but this is a step in the right direction. Monaghan were poor enough. got their goals on the counter and were happy to sit and defend for most of the game.

Atmosphere has really improved this season. Good craic going to the Cross again.

0-4, so comfortable even Billy scored

Unlucky for Bray last night, was an alright game. I knew the Derry number 11 would score, he was dangerous all night. Especially after the glaring miss for Bray.

Easily the most shocking game of football i ever seen but also one of the funniest atmospheres at a LOI game.

bottles were way out of order club will be fined no doubt but was never a Peno.

The refereeing in this League is shocking and needs to be addressed asap.

true bray really need to sort out their home form and fast. they need to make the carisle a fortress especially against the lesser teams

When will RTE learn not to put clubs like Pats and Bohs on RTE.

The punters want to see Rovers.

What a horrible game of hoofball that was...

We're absolutely clueless without Pete Mahon there. Shambles that we couldn't beat that Bohs team.

I have to agree. Sligo are the best team to watch in the league.

They are, in so far as it matters, and either the Sligo or the Rovers match would have been a much better game to stick on.

Bohs and Pats had 0-0 written all over it. Questions have to be asked why RTE picked that game with two poor teams. I'm all for spreading the games out amongst clubs, but if anyone new to the league watched that...

Sligo are top of the "best team to watch" table again this year. Unfortunately it only exists in the imaginations of the bitters and their thank-you-button hangers on.

Rovers did well last night after an initial 30 mins of Drogs closing down space very effectively. They eventually ran out of steam and we were very comfortable. Had a perfectly good goal disallowed and Kilduff slipped when clean through, as well as scoring three from open play and a poachers effort from a corner.

Huge away crowd up there.

Pighead

May be a tad biased here but I'm struggling to think of a better attacking quartet than Quigley, Kearns, Gaynor and Byrne in the league. The first three in particular are extremely exciting to watch when on song with plenty of tricks and pace.

If Dundalk could get a decent central midfielder they'd have a really good team.

Didn't go to the match and happy I didn't. Forced my friends to watch it, they weren't happy Fair play to Barry for saving the penalty, he could barely move. Pats should have been shooting any time they got within 40 yards.
