    Mr Xiney and I will be there! Who are they playing again? :rolleyes: I'm not much of a football fan.

    Fleece blanket and two travel mugs of hot tea ought to get us through though, bet it's going to be ridiculously cold.

    I'll be looking for the Xiney's cuddled up under the fleece, see if we could borrow a corner of the blanket ;) Playing Drogheda United, just checked the website.

    Tuppence, afraid it won't be a late one, we'll have the wee man with us.

    Get the new Jerseys, and get "OFF TOPIC" printed on the back. Instead of shouting at the ref, the lot of you just turn your backs to him. :D

    At the prices been flagged you would want to be getting the most out of those jerseys alright. (so the season ticket might be in order). Then you would have to give the jersey an outing to the away games. (with your friends on the bus) Suppose said jersey could also double up as a night shirt. Then it can be recycled into dusters the next season or on a pub wall with signatures on it....
    Hey, Whats wrong with a hat and scarf anyway!*



    Are you a shareholder by any chance? ;)


    lol i wish i'm a lowly student!! ya jerseys are very expensive for a shirt like,but thats the way it is unfortunately...you'd pay the same for a man.united or liverpool shirt.the sligo rovers scarves are class,i still have one my unlce gave me from the 80's:D

    good enough game tonight,pitch is in bad shape somethign should really be done!all in all a good result,drogs are the champions of last year and now we look forward to bohs on good friday!

    Indeed, great result. Good crowd, probly 2200-2300, and good atmosphere with plenty of colour.

    We had a great time yet again!

    I only have one question.... why don't the players follow through? Some kicked the ball towards the goal and they just left it. At one point in the first half the goalie dropped it and nobody was there to take the opportunity to score. The last 20 minutes were the most exciting though!

    I was looking for the fleece blanket Xiney....

    It was great fun. They got better as they went on.We were over near the drums! And then of course saw (maybe a little too much of :D )the famous Mooneys! ;)

    Conditions were bad, the wind especially made it difficult for attracive football.
    We did improve markedly in the last half hour, the introduction of Matthew Judge livened things up in our attack. Shamie Coleman gets better every time I see him, man of the match for me.

    That's a fact. He was terrible, wouldn't let the game flow in any way.

    I thought considering Drogs are defending league champs that Rovers showed they are not too far off the standard required to do well in the league this year.

    Great crowd too. I thought Rovers played very well in the second half and I thought they might have snuck a goal, it's a pity they didn't, the Showgrounds would have went mental!

    good highlights package on rte this evening as well, spotted my self in the crowd too

    :D

    cookie seams very confident about the season, as did the panal, especially on future home games, reakons will be hard to beat them at the show grounds, hopefully will perform well away as well,

    shame through there will be no mooneys before or after the game this week

    :(

    To be quite honest the only thing that's keeping me from bringing the whole bed clothes after last week is the fact that then I'd probably be so comfortable I'd probably fall asleep and I'd feel bad, then.

    Bohs are missing a few of their regular players for this evenings tie, Rovers should be in with a shout.
