Game Matchtracker



Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
94' - Full Time - And approximately 1,700 happy heads head off into the mist, delighted with the Sligo win. I'm off and I'll see you in three weeks for when Dundalk come to town!
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
93' - Should have been a Galway penalty I feel, Stephen O'Donnell hit deck after an Alan Keane challenge.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
89' - A shout for handball as Seamus Connelly looked to have handled the ball under pressure, while the bnoard goes up for four minutes.
Stats Attack - Some late Galway pressure is being forced by the Terrylanders, but they still haven't had a shot on target the whole game. STATS!
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
81' - Substitution - Sligo bring Mark Doninger off and send on Mauro Almeida, who slots in at centre back. Meanwhile Alan Keane goes to right back and Danny Ventre goes to centre mid.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
80' - Padraig Amond has been one on one with Barry Ryan but Ryan snuffed out the chance. Amond's just gone close again here. He's proving really tricky for the Galway defence to deal with and I'm sure that Michael O'Neill is kicking himself that he released him now.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
73' - Substitution - Gary Curran on for Ciaran Foley for Sli-...I mean Galway United.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
68' - Substitution - Galway make a change - James Creaney comes on for Jason Molloy.
Sligo Rovers 1 - 0 Galway United
64' - Goal - 1-0 Sligo! Eoin Doyle picks up the ball after a Padraig Amond bicycle kick goes wrong and hammers it into the roof of the Galway net.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
63' - Yellow Card - Stephen O'Donnell of Galway sees yellow for a cynical foul on Danny 'Pele' Ventre on the touchline when he was in full flight.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
60' - A Doninger shot from a Blinkhorn flick on just nips past the Galway post.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
58' - Substitution - A second Sligo Sub - Conor O'Grady comes on for Richie Ryan.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
55' - Sheppard's header at the far post should dribbled across an open Sligo goal but there was noone there to tap it in. At the other end a Doyle cross flashed across the goal.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
53' - Substitution - Sligo Sub - Gary McCabe is off, and John Dillon is on. Let the Liverpudlian invasion continue!
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
52' - Molloy just tips the top of the SLigo crossbar with a cross/shot. I think Molloy's been the best for Galway so far.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
47' - And Jason Sheppard fires over, way over for Galway. They've been restricted to long range shots thus far and bar Molloy's one that had a dip and swerve in it, they've been shocking efforts.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
46' - Second Half - And we're back folks. Straight into the action with Amond just sneaking offside at the crucial moment and Jason Molloy firing over from long range,
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
45' - Yellow Card - Galway's Thomas Heary is booked.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
45' - Half Time - Annnnnd it's half time here. Both sides are competing really well here but the home side will be disappointed they haven't taken the lead. What must be mentioned was a strong penalty shout early on when I was having internet connectivity problems. Amond was felled by Seamus Conneely in the Galway box, but Hanney waved play on and Sean Connor did the diving motion.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
44' - Stephen O'Donnell shoots wide from about 20 yards,shockingly wide, nearly out for a corner wide. We'll blame the pitch for that one I think.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
36' - Richie Ryan really is putting in some stellar work for Sligo in the middle of the park, he's lively, chasing everything down and picking out passes that with pinpoint accuracy from 30 yards.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
29' - Eoin Doyle had the goal at this mercy with Amond to his left, he squares to Amond, but the nutter is offside. There's a goal coming soon I feel.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
26' - Bobby Ryan throws a swerver from 20 yards out and catches everyone out. Nearly snuck inside Brush's right post. It's real 50/50 stuff here at the minute.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
23' - As per usual in the Showgrounds, the referees are acquainting themselves with the home crowd in not quite the right way.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
20' - Derek O'Brien had a good opportunity from long range but Galway are looking shaky at the back at this early stage.
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
2' - Padraig Amond has an early chance for the home team
Sligo Rovers 0 - 0 Galway United
1' - First Half - The game is getting under way now in The Showgrounds..
