Freimanis 2-1 Athlone

[Massop 10]

Before he has kicked a ball the pressure is on the new lad, you need to give him a game or two to settle in !

Got to agree, Freimanis I'm sure could be a class act, but he could be another Sinisa Savic for all we know. ;)

Famous last words perhaps, but my sources on Leeside suggest he's a quality player.

I sadly reside down Leeside & my experience of people down here is that they would tell you the Priest cursed at Mass. Pinch of salt anyone?

[Keen2win]

I would be so p.$$ed off if we lost this game

[sligoman]

Will the Section O faithful be in John Joe's after?

What sort of a statement is that?

[Bosco]

From what I heard the club completely ****ed up and missed the registration date which was the 31st of August?Anyone know if thats true?

[RonnieB]

If it is true someone needs a severe shoe up the hole.

[Martinho II]

[RonnieB]

And McKenna seemed less lazy than usual...

I think things are starting to get a bit brighter but time will tell

[sligoman]

[Martinho II]

Possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen at a LOI game was the Athlone fans behind the goal.

They diminished in numbers from six to one and there was just one fella playing I think three drums as if it were a drum kit. Still laughing now.....quality

Great article Rory.

"The players have made their way back on the pitch, completely unknown to me as I was lost in the paragraphs of the match programme." :D

[holidaysong]

Very enjoyable article alright, well done! :)

[Rovers1]

i love Rory

he is great

[sligoman]

I heard Rory owns RTE, is that true?

[Longfordian]

Nice article Rory, made me chuckle yet it's quite sad that we're back to that level again where the game is almost an irrelevance. Money makes the world go around I guess.

[Ash]

Deadly report ... you could almost swap out the 2 team names and use the same report for almost every game in this division :p

[RonnieB]

I noticed the vanishing of the Athlone lads behind the goal, one moment there was a fair few and lots of flags etc, the next there was only one?!

Send in Edward Woodward to investigate...

[RonnieB]

Paranormal ****!

[Rovers1]

no, his Dad does

that was because they all ventured outside to join their mates who couldnt get in.. could you not see them outside the gate???:eek:

[RonnieB]

I saw a bunch of hormonal teenagers getting off a bus but I was in the ground early.
