says the man who always defends Ventre..what you see at games is very selective!!:):)
Always defend Ventre? :confused:
I defend him because he's been one of our most important players this season. Performances haven't been on par with the likes of Peers etc, but some of the stick on here is shocking.

Fair enough sir..in fairness i dont come on to give him stick i just dont think he's much good and i say it!!....as i said before football is all about opinions and two people can watch the same thing but see two different things as we clearly do!!..

So we've signed Richie Ryan, a midfielder who can't/won't tackle, win headers, take free kicks, corners or make forward runs, I feel effervescent. The bad footballers/management buddies drinking club is now complete

I played plenty son, started out with the John Street Rangers and before I went to England won TWO McArthur cup medals, was a teammate of a Rovers great, I know there's a lot of young lads on this forum but I know my stuff:ball:

So people who don't actually play the game are automatically wrong? What a bogus argument and one you have used many times before CF. You're the one who musn't have played football if you think Ryan is any good. I play plenty of football and I wouldn't be too happy if I was playing alongside him watching him waddle around hitting square passes and not putting a tackle in.
Anyways, as onlyonerovers has said, this debate is going nowhere and has been done to death on this forum. I'll be happy to eat my words if Ryan produces anything approaching a decent standard next season but I think it's unlikely.
And harping on about an injury all next year when he could have been offloaded now will cut no ice either. Cook has made the decision that he thinks that he is worth it.
If nothing else, I'm sure Kevin Quinn will be happy anyways.

Yeah Ritchie had a poor season last year but when he first arrived we were raving about him and he was going to be the next big thing in manys fans eyes. It didnt materialise last year. So this is his chance to try and prove the doubters wrong. But lets give all the lads a fair chance before slating them.

When Richie came in midway through 2008 I thought he done pretty well and even slotted in at left full for a couple of games and acquitted himself well.
However, last season he was very poor any time he was on the pitch. I know he was carrying an injury and all that but his off the field activities left a lot to be desired. If he can get back to the form he showed when he arrived then he will do a job, no doubt about that, and even better that he is now on a reduced contract. Has he actually had the operation on his hip?
I just hope its not the proprieter of The Thatch Ballisodare who will gain most from his re-signing!!!

Ritchie has the ability, but its up to him what he wants to do with it.
Its make or brake time.

Ryan was muck last season. No doubting that really, but he's not a muck player. He was, in my opinion, one of our best players in 2008 and I hope we can see the same next season.

This has been debated to death but to be fair to Ritchie he should have had the operation last summer but delayed it due to our small squad and battle against relegation. He couldnt train properly from the middle of june to the end of season yet could always be called upon when asked to play. I for one am willing to give him till july to prove himself again and if we can get him back to the form he was in for his first season he was here it can only be a good thing for Sligo Rovers.

can anyone actually tell me if richie ryan has had his operation because everyone was saying last year his bad performances were down to been injured. if he has not had his injury fixed whats the point in signing him. at least come july we will have a good discussion over who was right and wrong over richies abilities. i would nearly start a book on it. richie to get back to his best and be a starting 11 player 100/1 richie to be ****e again 3/10 on.........

A good question and to be perfectly honest i dont have a clue!!while i wouldnt be a membershipvsubcription to his fan club as Dong put it, what i was tryin to say in an earlier post was a Richie Ryan of 2008 will certainly be an addition to our current squad(given that we only have 12 players) and i think hes earned the chance till july anyway to prove the naysayers wrong.
