| Rest of our season relies on tomorrow, as we are on course for mid table so in that regard we have an advanatge over Cork who hopefully still have an eye on he leaue tomorrow night. They haven't beaten us this year so we have no reason to fear them but going to TC overly confident would be stupid too. Take a draw and get them back to dalymount monday. |

Pats missed a hat full of chances. Faheys 50 yarders look great when they come off but thats only about 50% of the time. The build up play was too slow and laboured and we needed to up the tempo much more in general. Shels will be delighted to come away with the draw ------------- El Puto Amo |

Very enjoyable night in Richmond Park. Got off to the worse possible start - conceded a very soft goal in the 2nd minute. Then we were arguably the better side for the next quarter of an hour or so, scored a soft enough goal ourselves, but always looked very open through the middle Johnny Mac obviously noticed this and tightened up shop, and most of the play from then on in was from Pats. They had their chances, but Shels defended well and also rode our luck at times. Deserved a draw in the end out of sheer grit and determination, especially considering we were missing Lee Desmond who, IMO has been our best player this season at centre half Replay in Tolka on Tuesday night - it's anyone's game. Still reckon Pats will be too strong for us but anything can happen Shels  ------------- I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday |

I know it's a big gap but I thought the LSL was a good standard. Wasn't sure if they were one of the better or worst LSL teams. was kind of expecting one or two talented lads who were either on way up or down from senior football but they were dire all over bar the keeper who is definitely worth a look for a senior side. Who would be the top sides there in LSL ? ------------- "Not one cent" - RTID on Mark Quigley's pay-off from Shamrock |

Strange sorta game in Tallaght. Dreadful 1st 25 mins, then Rovers broke away and scored moments after Murphy denied Longford, fine finish by Windy. Second goal was an absolutely magnificent McCabe volley, Shep's shot blocked by Sullivan and as the ball dropped 25 yards out, McCabe caught it plum on the volley for a brilliant goal. 2nd half was dreadful from Rovers, Windy got a 2nd yellow ten mins from time, before Kilduff put debutant Patrick Cregg clear in injury time for a nice finish. Ricer's reception at the end was nice. Last 8 accomplished, but Nutsy and the players got a long way to go yet. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

That could be game of his life never mind week, in first half in particular his shot stopping was first class and one save was best I've seen at the brandywell in a long time .

In context a bit, that applause happened literally 5mins after they had being singing about Chris, people were very upset and angry at the time, it was only the section that Chris stood in that turned there back, myself included(although I regret it now I won't apologise for it) and there was no boos or that sort of stuff for it! |

Not sure it's harsh to be honest. Up to the 1st goal we were terrible sloppy. Two wonderful goals made a huge difference to the outcome as Longford shoulda been ahead seconds before our first. Way too many diagonal punts 2nd half for my liking.

I have been in an around some of the more riff-raffy shelbourne fans on occasions. They are definitely a turn off for the club.

Lost 3 nil to rovers but truth be told probably didn't deserve to lose by 3. We played well at times but the difference was rovers took their chances, their second goal a terrific strike.

They would do well crowd wise from away support given their central location. Good to see Ricer still held in high regard at Tallaght, like Tony another Hoops Legend

That Ice bucket challenge baloney has a lot to answer for. In all seriousness tho, we really need to get our act together. 18 holes of golf at Dalymount and not enough light bulbs at Tolka, shÃte like this haemorrhage's existing fans and put's off potential support. The operating procedures to decide if a match gets the go ahead or not and how those decisions are arrived at needs urgent and systematic overhaul.

| Apparently it was the generator that blew, but surely that wouldnt have an effect if they were running it off mains! or am I just an idiot, only going off what two electrians beside me told me but they are ex-electricians |

Ex-electricians are the last people to be trusted on this. Probably hermaphrodites too. |

Shels not giving out refunds to pats fans last night has to be some sort of scam, they know not everyone who went last night can go again next Monday! Joke of a club! Didn't see the shels 11 but Dempsey and a few others were the the cat and cage 20 mins before kick off lead to some thinking shels didn't wanna play last night |

Definitely suits shels better to play next Monday. Big game for them Friday. In relation to refunds in fairness to them it would have been a nightmare last night with people queuing for ages and them not having the right change to give to people ------------- FAIlure Good shot, lovely ............ oh good jaysus |

Anyone who wanted a refund for an event that they just paid into and was called off should have got one! It dosent effect me as I can make next Monday, plenty can't though |

Why not? Where shels playing a second team? The lad who plays up front was with him normally plays? Lee something? Either way suits shels playing Monday instead |
