    Full house for Turners Cross tomorrow night looks likely.

    Wonder how Croly will approach it. First time he's played the same (best bar SOC) lineup in three successive games and hey presto, three wins. Football is a simple game.

    So he'll probably play Sheppard who is in woeful form and Bayly in a 4-4-2 and get beaten. Especially with a game on Monday.

    Hoping to make it down tomorrow.

    Praying for our first win of the season v Sligo at the Brandywell.

    But they have had the upper hand on us for a long time now, will be a tough game.

    That pitch of yours would even out a Derry v Barca game.

    Up to the Gods to decide games up there at minute.

    Be lucky to get 1 point from the next 2 games I think!

    Top of the table clash in Tolka so it will most likely be a borefest!

    Games in Tolka have been good viewing so far so hope your wrong. Guess it depends on how Harps approach the game. May not have any finger nails by the end of it.

    The pitch was a lot better v Pats last week, the Council had a team of guys working on it for a full week after the debacle of the Cork game, when it was no better than a field tbh.

    All pitches are like that until the sun comes out, ours does be deadly from may onwards.

    Pats v Dundalk,rumours circulating in Dundalk that Peter Cherrie will be dropped in favour of Gabby Sava.

    The local Gestapo in Cork are acting the complete idiots toward to pubs in the Turners Cross area. They got wind that Shams are bringing 600 plus fans tonight and want all the pubs to not serve them and for the pubs to shut their doors at 7pm.

    If they are that worried surely the most sensible thing to do would be to send the Shams buses directly into the ground and back out afterwards, but this will of course not happen.

    Total and utter over policing due to a new Sargeant on the block who is trying to make a name for himself. He has obviously watched Green St and Football Factory recently as well as he seems to believe all football fans are drunken idiots who are looking to cuase a fight.

    That to one side there is a ticket panic going on for tonights game. Many seem to think it will be a sell out, but the club have confirmed tickets will be on sale at 6.15 this evening outside the ground as always.

    Also, I would put my mortgage on it that KO will be delayed by 10-15 minutes again due to crowd congestion outside. Happens every single big game.

    Looking for 6 points against Bray and Athlone, should be well achievable.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Say they'll be more down than 600 IMO.

    Bit hard on the sound local pubs like the Evergreen who make a few quid out of it.

    As for the game, a draw down there and a win Monday would be an OK weekend's work.

    It'll be interesting to see how Shels get on against that Harps side, given that Rovers have played both, in very different games.

    I'll be heading down on the Aircoach after work, sticking around the city centre and making my own way to the game from there and walk back into the city centre after the match.

    I wonder what the gestapo's plans are for the seething, rampaging mobs who are now not going to be around Turners' Cross, given they've closed the pubs. It just moves the fans around and impacts upon businesses and home fans for nothing.

    Clueless.

    Because away fans would never be around the ground before 7.

    He's on the ball. :rolleyes:

    we are minus are 3 main forwards with Mchugh & mcCarron injured and keating already reaching his quota of yellows so i wouldnt expect an attacking approach from us tonight. Hopefully Mcveigh will surprise us again with a goal but he hasnt proved to be the best finisher so far. id be more confident in McCann or someone in midfield popping up for a goal.

    Id happily take a draw at this point. Most convenient and pretty much the shortest away trip and still 2 1/2 - 3 hours, may the footballing gods have mercy!

    Close the doors and not allow anyone in after 7 or kick everyone out at 7? What happens if the pubs say no?

    They usually police themselves for games like - have a bouncer on the door, and not allow in away fans if they think it'd be better off. Rovers fans usually end up in the Tory Top, with home fans in the rest of the pubs.

    If there is, I'd be worried about everyone getting a ticket. The capacity of the ground will be 6,900 tonight, when segregation and unsafe/broken seats are taken into account. The normal away section holds 540, but the first few rows are usually closed to help prevent pitch invasions, so that would see it reduced to 450. Maybe some of the block next to it will be given to Rovers fans or they'll have a different section for night, but if extra space might not be possible if the demand for tickets by home fans keep going up. I would have thought that 450 would have been enough, to be honest.

    I suppose, the hope is that people go into the ground earlier, which would be easier to police and prevent the last minute queuing and delay in kick off. Some people might do that, but a lot will probably just drink farther away from the ground.

    Close them so no one can get in. Thats the word around anyway. Whether the publications heed it is another story, but Id imagine if there is a flashpoint in a pub at 7.15 and the doors are open the Gardai will pay it little attention.

    Ah lads aint that bad. I have seen trouble in past, but you swear it was WW3 potential kicking off tonight.

    It will only be handful as usual and sure let them at it each other.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,721 Mod ✭✭✭✭dfx-


    I think that's the point that nothing happens, yet it would appear the police have whipped themselves in a frenzy, presumably extensive searching too.

    It was more at Gardai who make deal out of little.

    Problem is this only does opposite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    No reason why we can't get 6 points from our next 2 games. We predominantly play a counter attacking game but see no reason why we shouldn't be taking the game to Bray and Athlone.

    I'm fully expectant that the same volume of people who attended the Rovers game to be back in force tonight... :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    RTE are never going to get a ****ing game right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Hoping we can pick up something from this next two games, season will look very bleak if we are still pointless monday night

    Pats v Dundalk,rumours circulating in Dundalk that Peter Cherrie will be dropped in favour of Gabby Sava.
    Rumours are spot on it seems. Big call by Kenny although you can see why he's done it. Cherrie not at his best recently.

    There's a full house down in Turners Cross. The game would come across absolutely brilliantly on the box.

    Pats game will still be good, but they haven't chosen the right game once this season.

    That's your opinion. I don't think you can give them too much stick for showing a game between the two best teams in the country. The top three in both last years PFAI Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year will also be on show. RTE have it spot on.

    Apparently Cherrie does start this evening.

    We were rotten tonight. Collapsed after the 1st Dundalk goal went in. Bolger's sending off was stupid, deserved red.

    UCD up to fifth as it stands :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Out of interest whats the record low points in the league? Definitely think Athlone will do it.

    Losing 3-0 now

    Shamrock Rovers fans should be home at this stage I say.

    could have been few more too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    I've only once seen Cork play before and they were absolutely ****, so this was a bit of a surprise to me :)

    Brilliant game, never stopped fighting for every ball.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,658 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Shams woeful up front, Murphy a terrible keeper. Cork were solid! Cracking atmosphere. Took the OH, first ever LOI game and she loved it.

    Bloody Bray though, would have been perfect!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,461 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    The good news too is that we are doing this without out potentially top 2-3 players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    Ugh!!! That was a tough night at Richmond Park! :( :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,959 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Another important win for us, not a spectacular performance but a good one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,254 ✭✭✭overshoot


    Badly lacking our strikers tonight but gave a good account. Dunno how josh mailey was sent off, got the ball & shels fan infront turned straight around and said that was harsh.
    Not 2-0, draw or shels edging the 1-0 would have been fair enough.
    Wasnt sure on the shels peno but iv been told by harps fans it was so :(

    First division is a good step up this year tho, Galway, shels harps(providing we dont fall off like last year) adding to the competitiveness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,694 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN

    Harps started off playing for a draw straight from the start, 11 men in their own half for the whole first half nearly! Parking the bus malarky.

    I just missed the red card but a few around me in the New Stand said he was, seemed like a late enough tackle.

    It was a peno definitely. Should be highlights up soon on ShelsTV.
