    Heard he had money on Galway to win. Sounds far fetched to be honest.

    Then you say you can't judge our keeper by how many goals he concedes, but we can judge the St Pats keeper by how many goals he concedes......That's another great point by yourself.

    Your entitled to your opinion but ask any Pats supports about O'Malley v Clarke, O'Malley was already well on the way to being there no 1, he is young but superior to Clarke.
    Why would I need to be a EVERY training session, if as you say friendlies don't matter then training matter s even less.
    Show me where you gave a couple of games.

    I heard Robbie sleeps in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him sexual powers

    Every time we played poorly last year they were accused of match fixing too. Where did you get it from? Obviously not a name but reliable source?

    Don't think it's fair to make such a claim/accusation/insinuation without something to back it up.

    Fairly reliable source to be fair. But dunno how he heard it.

    You would hope its nonsense really wouldn't you. Could see it happening last season when league was won lads getting greedy and making a few quid extra but Galway was a huge game in the hunt for Europe so surely not. Or do people think some players really don't care?

    I hope it's as far fetched as it sounds. Although I do think Williams (along with others) was well below par vs Galway, I just think it was a very bad day at the office and I presume he was just rested vs Charlton.
    As for the players don't care argument. I genuinely believe we have an honest enough bunch who seem to give it their all most weeks. However there is no doubt that some players in the league don't give a fiddlers. Some know they won't be offered an extension and may just go through the motions

    I'd question whether some of ours give there all every week tbh but its a massive jump from that to fixing games.

    Match fixing is a big leap. Floating a few deliveries down the keepers throat or mistiming a few clearances isn't. Nor is sleeping in an oxygen tent for one reason or another.

    Hopefully it's only a load of bull. Some would say there's no smoke without fire but I dunno.

    Think it's fairly outrageous to link any player with match fixing based on hearsay.

    I also think that there's nothing much between our keepers overall. They're both reasonably good though Hall does things that are better and worse at times IMO

    I'll say this though (and I 100% do not mean it as a knock on the guy), Clarke plays the social media game better than any footballer I've seen in this league.

    I simlply wanted to know had anyone on this heard it. As there seems to be a few who know what goes on behind the scenes.

    It's a conversation that should be kept to PM. I have no clue If true or not but some people will take rumours are gospel and it can ruin someone's reputation.

    In fairness who is it gonna ruin his reputation to? The 8 or 9 of us on here? I've since been told the rumour by 3 different people around the town that wouldn't have a clue about this place so it's around anyway.

    There may be only 8 or 9 of us on here but there are plenty that would look at this site without posting on it. It is a public forum after all. It only takes one person to see it on here to say it to someone else, then they pass it on and by the time it comes back around it has gone from just a rumour to people being convinced its a matter of fact. Happens all the time.

    People are already saying it though without any knowledge of it being on this site so someone has started it before it even got here. I don't think he did it or anything like that but I don't see a problem with someone asking about a rumour that's already out there.
