Yeah, it's a shock, I think.
It's the overriding feeling of people eating the ground.
I think if you're there looking at it, though, you felt something was going to happen the more time went by and Shamrock Rovers couldn't get that second goal.
You felt a sly go were going to come into the game at some stage, like Dundalk had done previously in a fixture here.
And they did so, I thought, yeah.
I thought John got the tactic spot on tonight.
Shane, not too bad.
Can you hear me okay?
Shane, I'm in a car park at the moment.
Yeah, just shock I think is the overriding feeling of people eating the ground.

I thought John got the tactic spot on tonight listen Sean McRower started well got their goal Aaron Green pulled it back into the box it was an own goal from who was it again I think it was McHale the young lad got the own goal McHale yeah and you felt Sean McRower was going to go through the gears here and it's going to be inevitable but they hung in there Sligo they had a great chance to level it just before half time Darrell Patton about two yards out I don't know how he missed it half fully off the bar should score there
And you think Rovers are going to pull away in the second half and they just didn't.
They clung on.
And to be fair to them, they set up so well, Sligo Rovers.
They kind of played, it was a back five and a kind of a really rigid, tight midfield.
Two in the middle in front of them and two again in the centre of the pitch and then one up front in Kavanagh.
And they kept it tight.
