Drogs visit to Cork pits the wits of two of Irleands most boring managers in Alan Mathews and Paul Doolin. Drogs are on an horrific run, so will probably be aiming to keep a clean sheet in Turners Cross. Nothing unusual there, as they do that even when on a good run. There will be no more than one goal in this one. The only way I see City winning is if we score in the opening 10 minutes, and Drogs game plan changes. Drogs, however, are boosted by the Senegalese guy not being available for selection.

Some big games throughout the league this weekend. Hopefully Shamrock (thats what they like being called. It distinguishes them from Sligo Rovers) can take a point from SPA. A draw between Derry and Shelbourne II would be the job as well.

I dunno. I think you're being a bit hard on Longford II. Cup run?

I will be stupidly drunk by 7pm on sunday, "we only have 14 fit players so a few u18s joining the squad" according to media. Good few days off tho after 5 matches in 15 days so hopefully everyone be fit for friday.

Rovers should be well up for it, hopefully we are too. A win and a few draws elsewhere would be nice.

Jaysus, Mr. Kenna has alot to do. They should have left Clery in, 3 managers in a month must be confusing for the players.

2-0 drogs

Gimmick must have unfurled all his Matthews out banners that he made preseason.

Yeah. I know.

A close uncle died suddenly on Tuesday, and the removal was tonight. I'm only in the door to check scores, then to the pub. His corpse to wake.

I'm allowed that as an excuse surely?

KdjaCL · 25-04-2008 09:41PM

if you need one, assumed you were at the game doing the updates.

3-2 bray rowe :O Kenna out etc:

http://shop.bohemians.ie/images/retrored.jpg Fairly sure that should read retro red Shels jersey.

We werent great, loads of long ball no real threat, though we did have the ball in the back of the net once, keeper caught the ball went down and dropped it, ref stopped the game and gave a drop ball in the 6 yard box that we didnt contest. Ah well, as the saying goes win your away games draw your home games.

LOL nearly sure its the opposite, few of our players at your game tonight most importantly The Beast and our coach, sunday turns into a must win game. Joe and harris definelty out so revised line up.

Galway just should just start playing inthe first division now and save themselves the bother

Was at Tolka tonight and Waterford were well worth a draw I thought by taking the game to Shels..enjoyable game up to when Shels finally put it to bed. Delivery from the right was impressive. The striker's headers...not so much.

Are you aving a laugh, is he aving a laugh.:eek:

SantryRed · 26-04-2008 11:11AM

Waterford were terrible last night, there headers were the only decent chances they had all night.

Flood could of had five by himself.

Waterford failed to take their 3 great chances while we took 2 of our 4 great chances and hitting the bar twice aswell. our defence was shocking and was there for the take last night so in that context I cant see how Waterford deserved anything out of the game. I wasn't overly impressed with Shels, usual suspects playing well, usual suspects playing sh!te being carried by our good players, it was an ugly but deserved win. Waterford are certainly no great shakes so it looks like the title is definitely between Dundalk and Shels now unless Fingal go mental with their blank chequebook in the transfer window.

Joe gamble is an idiot. Retarded sending off. In fact the retards on the pitch at half time would have been too clever to do what he did. Drogs deserved their 3 points. End of story.

Thats still not to say that Drogs are a good team, because they aren't. Easily the worst team I have seen beat Cork City in years. Proves how poor the league was lst seaosn when these jokers won it.

Mathews OUT!

Given that we had 3 regulars out suspended last night, it was a fantastic perofrmance + result. :cool:

bohsman · 26-04-2008 06:21PM

A draw with plenty of red cards would do me tomorrow night.

kerash · 27-04-2008 02:52AM

In other news, Longford Town got a point but shoulda got 3... Nice one all the same tho!

20 Times 20 Times · 27-04-2008 02:54AM

dundalk move 5 points clear at the top with this 3 nill win away from home. David cassidy getting two , this guy has been fantastic so far and it's hard to understand why rovers got rid . Anyway as i said 5 points clear with 7 games been played so far , 5 of those away from home so the next two games at home should see dundalk move further ahead of any of there other threats . I just hope it doesn't end up like last season where we walked the league at the start , but fell away at the end due to poor shinings in the window

Should be a good game tonight with Rovers vs Pats. Rovers want to bounce back after two poor results.

Think there will be plenty of goals for TV too.

SantryRed · 27-04-2008 06:01PM

Can see Rovers getting a hammering tonight.

bohsman · 27-04-2008 07:45PM

A draw would be great but feels so satisfying to see Rovers lose.

kerash · 27-04-2008 08:53PM

Are pats 1up? aertel 232 is only showin the fixture...
