Friday night live LOI

dreamers75

19:35 Sligo Rovers ? - ? Shamrock Rovers
19:45 Bohemians ? - ? Drogheda United
19:45 Dundalk ? - ? Galway
19:45 St. Patricks ? - ? Bray Wanderers
19:45 UC Dublin ? - ? Derry City


Rovers on tv so switched from Saturday seems odd Sligo would agree considering they may lose money now.

Clean sheet and a win would be nice but Bray very good vs us twice this season.

Lucan Bohs

Hopefully we'll beat Drogs. Shels better beat athlone,have them in the last man standing

I'd be fairly confident that we will. No injuries and no suspensions for the Reds.

8pm k.o. in Tolka for those interested.

Pinturicchio

Apparently Paddy Power have taken in excess of €10,000 on Dundalk to win by 3 or more goals.

24 Jun 2011 Cork City 7:45 Waterford United Turner's Cross
24 Jun 2011 Shelbourne 8:00 Athlone Town Tolka Park
24 Jun 2011 Wexford Youths 8:00 Limerick Ferrycarrig Park
25 Jun 2011 Salthill Devon 7:00 Finn Harps Drom Soccer Pitch
25 Jun 2011 Longford Town 7:30 Monaghan United Flancare Park


Shels should hammer Athlone, Cork should beat Waterford. Other three could go either way imo.

I see that our game with Pats has been moved to Sunday or Monday week now.

Can't be helped but that's another damper on attendances: will be the fourth big game we've had played on a Monday or Tuesday in nearly as many weeks.

O Neils a classy guy, wants your game in between Euros called off but insisting we play you on the sunday rather than the monday which we wanted.

Imagine that: a manager trying to prioritize what's right for the team (or the club) he's employed to manage. What's his problem.

At least Sunday should be a bigger gate hopefully.

Which club's needs would you expect Mahon to prioritize?

Only 1 but you know full well Mahon wouldnt lower himself to that kind of tactic.

Fellow fan told me, the forum is being quiet about it on the public part (I'm not club member) but it's obvious something's happened.

stovelid

Few rumours of monthly wage figures floating around that would appear pretty worrying....

30+ k a month on coaching and admin wages alone. Maybe just A rumour. Heard it was on your (public) forum earlier but has since been deleted.

Yeah, although Id be worried if we dont beat Wexford...even away from home. Not sure if Gamble and Behan will be playing though...

For 1400 quid he would want to be making the half time tea and washing the jerseys.

Although I'm backing Limerick tonight, they did cause an upset last time in Jackman, but I'd say Scully will be looking for yous to bounce back after our thrashing of yous last week.

Wouldnt be a bad sneaky clause in the contract! Not sure about cuppas at half time though!

Do players coming in not have to wait til 1 July before they can play?

Can't be registered till then afaik so they can't play tonight.

Nice conditions for a game.

Lashing rain and overcast. :pac:

Oat23

Horrible weather in Sligo for the game. Hopefully the weather, it being on Friday and on TV wont make much difference to the attendance.

Looking forward to it though should be a great game.

Been thinking the same, went to paddy power then, we're 4/7...no hope of a sneaky bet there! Wasnt at the game but by all accounts we were terrible... So far this season we're relying on a flat out first 20mins to get one or two in the net but its just not paying off...Scully need to go out tonight a lot more tactically rounded.

ShamoBuc

Been bucketing down in Cork all day - the X will be slippy as fúck, like most other grounds probably. At least the weather will improve dramatically for the rest of the weekend.

You're not far off, mate. It's no secret there's a lot of wasteage within the club. I firmly believe our only way out of this is to stay part time. I do not believe we'd get the revenue we have now as amateurs. IMO, where we cut back is in coaching and administration costs. We need a well-run bar but most importantly we need to keep the crowds coming in. We should not increase the playing budget in any way, and we should cut it where we can, but we must stay part time to get out of this,

Who's taking the corners for Sligo? It's almost a perfect delivery 99% of the time...

Gillington

Cretaro booked for diving again!!!?

Shocked

Pinturicchio

Shamrock Rovers have been so negative.

Twigg finally coming on now.

Mars Bar

Surely that should have been a penalty? Peers hadn't one eye on the ball there...

Pinturicchio

United have scored in Dundalk! Gary Kelly's first senior goal. That's one positive thing about this season. A lot of young local players getting their chance.

Gillington

RTE keep saying 0-0 between Pats and Bray,everywhere else saying Pats scored in the 56th minute

Its a disgrace Joe!

Mars Bar

Doyle gets his goal and it is a quality one at that!

ShamoBuc

Waterford 3-2 up on city - 5mins left!

ShamoBuc

Pats look like they are going top.....sligo won 2-nil and Pats still 1 up!!!

Pinturicchio

Full time in Oriel. Just the 6 goals for Dundalk in the end.

stovelid

Wretched performance from Rovers: handed the initiative to Sligo from the start. I assume the formation relied on GON holding up the ball for the four middle players to run on to but this was just nullified by belting long balls to a small player against two big centre halves and also because (especially by Finn) he was left marooned.

Cretaro might have got a peno on another night but the foul by Peers was the most stonewall peno I've seen in about 2-3 years in LOI. No complaints though: made to look completely ordinary. When N'do is dispossessing your attacking midfielder, you know you're fucked.

lol... was thinking the same when I saw it.

Glad I went to play ball tonight instead of making the trip to Sligo my mate was trying to cajole me into.

dreamers75

Poor game didnt play great, bray were decent but a win a clean sheet and Gary Rogers made the greatest save in in the history of football in the 90th minute.



We are top of the league for a few days at least

Pinturicchio

Shaun Maher didn't bother his hole turning up today. We're better off without the likes of him.
