Double round of fixtures this week for the Premier League so it should be WEEK 12/13.

Friday 25th May is FAI cup weekend.

Zero wriggle room left for Rovers.

I had no idea we were playing Bohs on Monday.

Same only the exact opposite

We'll lose in the Showgrounds, but beat the Gypos.

Would be absolutely delighted with 4 points though, 6 is dreamland, 3 would be ok, 2, 1 or 0 unacceptable.

GLaDOS

Heading into the set of games that saw us get 1 point and 0 goals last time. Think we're on a bit better footing this time around though. Derry haven't been great and nicking a win is within our capabilities. Don't expect much against shels, be delighted with a point there.

Pighead

Huge relegation battle between us and Monaghan on Friday evening. Hard to call it. Bit more confident after going to see them play Derry last night in Gortakeegan. They didn't offer much at all and were completely overrun in midfield. (As an aside, Derry fans were brilliant as usual last night).

Griffin is back up front for us now and he could make the difference I feel. Unusually I'm going to plump for a 2-1 Dundalk victory.

Anyone know why Thursday and not Saturday?

There I was in Munich, the local polizei coping with a U2 concert in the Olympic Park, an underground strike and a Bayern v Roma CL tie on the same night.

Westlife must trump them all though.:eek:

Police might be behind it? Maybe they think a week night is better than a Saturday night fixture.

Either that or the emergency services will be taken up rectifying the flood damage from over-excited auld ones pissing on the pitch during the gig.

Mushy

Arent Westlife playing the Saturday too?

Would gladly take 2 points this weekend, but itll be hard for that. Least on a good run of form.

Bohemian FC vs Derry City - Dalymount Park

First home game I'll miss this season but should make it to Tolka on Monday to make amends.
I reckon we'll be doing well to draw with Derry and I'd expect Shels to hoof and play-act their way to a win.
Be delighted with 2+ points from those games.

As a Bohs fan at present you really have no right to condescend the football played by anyone.

That_Guy

Reckon Bohs will draw against Derry and lose to Shels.

Strangely looking forward to heading to Tolka on Monday. Heading with a group of mates who'd be Shels-ish supporters so should be a bit of a laugh.

I wasn't condescending, I was baiting.

Now I'm reeling.

Tbh pal, I'd rather Bohs hoofed it than make stupid poxy errors at the back most of the time.

gimmick

The glamour side that is UCD rolls into Turners Cross this Friday. I can barely contain myself.

Hopefully the mistakes made in March are fully learned from and we can walk away with 3 points here. No reason why we shouldn't in truth. Vital we do given that we are away to both Shams and Drogs next week. If we could get 5 points out of those 3 games I would be absolutely delighted. Anything more and colour me tickled pink.

I think we could nick something in the Shwogrounds, no idea why! Should beat Bohs. Both matches requiring a mission for me to get too! :mad:

Was mentioned a couple of weeks back at a Rovers meeting, it's been on one of the Shels forums a while now.

Think so, I'd say the guards had a say in it.

Nah - Shels is our first game after the mid-season break IIRC.

The Monday after the game against us?

dan1895

So 80,000 odd auld ones and teenagers are going to Croker to watch a bunch of pr*cks sitting on stools and a handful of football fans down the road makes it too much for the guards to handle? Methinks the coppers want their two nights of overtime rather than just one. Whatever night the game is on, at least the singing in Tolka won't be mimed.

Sorry about the caps there. I lashed that post out on the phone and didn't realize.

Yeah, I meant the game with youse is our first game after the break I think so we wouldn't be playing on the Monday before but I didn't think about the Monday after. Must check.

You don't say.

Didn't know it was confirmed until I saw the link. It's on our site now as well. I think Thursday night might get a decent crowd going anyway. Our game with you in Tallaght was the biggest gate this season so far and it's always nice to go back to Tolka.

Longford Town vs SD Galway. 3-0 Town! Come on the TOWN!

Just leave our seats behind, Pats caused a few grand of damage supposedly when they played in Tolka a few weeks back.

I/we sure hope so....

UCD (H), Drogheda (A)

1st series game we had 2 losses.

Think we can get 4 points this time.

They did no such thing.

Anyway, back onto the football. Big weekend for Shamrock Rovers. I expect a bit of a backlash from them.

Pats could easily earn six points.

Sligo starting to play some nice ball too. Quigo and Danny starting to gain an understanding.

I know North acted the prick a wee bit during Pats Europe League campaign, but if you find a 20 a season striker in this league, you dont let him go easily.

It will be the difference between Pats finishing in euro spots and seriously challenging for the title.

They broke 7 seats, took photos of themselves with the seats and are now banned from all Pats games. All 2 of them, on our forum if you want to check it out. Must have been the solid gold seats they broke.


Mons players on strike seemingly havent been paid*

Ideally Rovers should be back to winning ways playing Drogs.

I'd say it's f*cking impossible to cause a few grand of damage to Tolka Park!!!

Link to commentary of the Bray Pat's match. It's two Pat's fans commentating and it's always a bit of craic. They've had in their own words 'a few sociable beers' beforehand!!! :)
