    No loss, didn't think the players were in any better condition than they were under Derek McCarthy and Derek was hammered for the job he did. Neil Mc just bringing in his own guy maybe?

    The players strongly disagree with your assessment.

    Strong rumours too that Lee J Lynch is out the door this week unless the club do a massive u-turn.

    I remember the League Cup Final where the players were dead on their feet at 70-75 minutes, but they had improved this season right? Did Gamble and McDonald not get along?

    According to majority of players I have spoken to which are the majority of players about Joe he is the best fitness coach they have ever had. One I spoke to earlier said he would be a huge pull for players to go to Waterford.

    It's not a McDonald/Gamble issue.

    Not according to the two players I spoke to... they were more of the opinion that the manager got rid of the tubby guys and that brought the average fitness levels up...but look, we could play knifey spooney all night. If he is going to Waterford it won't attract any of our players to go there. If they're paying big money, now that could attract some of our players to go there.

    Lee J hasn't been happy with the setup for months, I thought he would stay because of the girlfriend. Nobody will be surprised anyway this club is a continuous cycle of incompetency.

    I’ve then heard that Lee Jay said McDonald is an excellent coach and as time has gone on the players have been very impressed by him where as when he first arrived they weren’t too happy with his hard nosed approach. That’s the problem right there though, depending who you talk to you will hear different stories and different opinions. Players will do and say what’s best for them and what they want people to hear. That is at every level of football.

    But what has one got to do with another? Maybe he does think Neil is a fantastic manager and is still sick to death of the setup at the club. The players absolutely hate having to deal with the club when it comes to new contracts because it's amateur hour.

    Shane Duggan spent half of last season seriously considering retiring from the game altogether because the lies and nonsense he has had to deal with at this club has turned him off the game. I won't be surprised if he does sign back for the handy money he is on but doesn't try an inch and I don't even blame him.

    Tosi played for far less than he was on previously and less than he could have got elsewhere because of Joe. Nothing to do with Joe as a coach though just cos he knew him.

    I duno boys, how many of you would move jobs to be nearer to your mate? Money talks, anyone thinking any different needs their head examined.

    If you think we were able to match what he was on in Brunei and the likes then we have a ball of money available to us now when he leaves cos he was on mental money.

    According to him the offer made to him was one that was quite clearly aimed at getting him to leave as there was never a hope he was gonna accept it.

    Wouldn't be like a player to say that. Pay me more or I'm gone. We've been on this particular merry go round for years now, surprised at the naivety of some of you. Disappointed even.
