Not too bothered about the result but would like to beat Rovers Kenna nearing fullfitness but monday might be too soon for him, as we dont have many players reckon the same team that played last night will play again.

Think the prizemoney for this has been cut to a €20 voucher for Game.

Us against Shels should be good craic

Pity it wasn't an early kick-off though, although that means he racing fans among us can still watch the Irish Grand National.

For a minute I thought it was a thread about some gaming competition among LOI supporters.

MON on record as prioritizing nearly all competitions over this cos the prize money is so bad but that said we can still probably field an half decent team.

Should be a close game between us and Bohs, but expect them to edge it.

Pity i've been sick the last few days would've loved to have been able to make the trip to cockhill.

edolan

We beat Cockhill 4 nil today, a good morale booster. Hopefully a good win against UCD on friday to follow and get the league campaign back on track.

Hilarious defending from both sides at our match, Shels were less **** and deserved the win

Alot less ****.

Gavin "shels"

Jesus Bohs wouldn't want to have an injury crisis, they were woeful. Mullhall running your defence to bits when he came on. Can we play yous every week btw?

TangyZizzle

That was a very good match for the neutral in Tolka tonight. Both defences were mental, but as has been said - Shels were less **** so took the win. Good craic anyways. I liked the defender playin on the main stand side of the pitch in the first half, who was that? Very positive and busted himself to make every challenge.

Shels player? That would have been Seany Byrne.

TangyZizzle

He did well. The linesman was muck and gave him a hard time.

antomorro-sei

Woohoo! Gotta love a penalty shootout

Gavin "shels"

He's a class player, has been a first teamer since he signed for us but hasn't featured much this season. We actually signed him from Bohs a couple of seasons back.:cool:

Was annoyed when we let him go and even more so now, would be very handy to have this season

Myself and the better half tried to go through the adult gate, but we were told to go through the student gate.. even though we had no ID. Do they ever ask for it at Tolka?

Was it the Shels end? Tosh is too much of a gentleman to ask for ID tbh.

Yeah, grand.

League matches are all ticket affairs so they might ask for ID at the ticket "office".

Haha yeah man, without a doubt!


Really hoping for Shels -v- Pats in Tolka in the next round!

Pats -v- Shels in Richer please!:cool: Nice short trip for me, and well the friendly 3 years ago was good stuff.

antomorro-sei

No idea when the draw is Tangy! Hopefully it's soon!

Yeah Gav, think that's the only time we've played you lot since yiz got relegated. Bohs seem to get to play yiz every feckin' year!

Mixed emotion tonight. Great to beat Dundalk again and progress but also a pain in the bottom coz our cup run last year cost us promotion probably and we cant afford that to happen again. But anyways, beating Dundalk is always a pleasure so we can just bow out in the next round.

They're fairly over rated to be honest..:(

Much prefer things to be settled on goal difference:cool:

Pleasantly surprised at how our game turned out last night. :pac:

Next!!!!! :pac:

BornToRun88

Bohs well beaten by Shels last night, I can have no complaints. I thought Bohs might try go for the League Cup but with the side Fenlon put out its obvious the League Cup isn't a priority for him.

Getting the young lads a bit of experience incase of an injury crisis and giving the older players like Heary a break was far more important than trying to win the cup imo.

Exactly, I like Matthews giving the likes of Skinner, Gar Matthews, Seany Byrne, Sullivan and Clancy all a start for us.
