forza rovers

24/11/2010, 5:18 PM

Both are very good defenders, price has been at the heart of Rovers defence for the past 4 or 5 years and has rarely put a foot out of place in fairness, excellent in the air and dangerous from set pieces. Kenna is also a very good defender and time on his side compared to Price. IMO to say he is 10 times the player Price is is way over the top. I'd bleedin' kill for either in my Bray side :D

As i've said, both are very good defenders but they also have their faults, Jake Kelly and Shane O'Neill both took them apart with pace earlier in the seasonyad kill to have any body half descent in your team

Please dont be so condescending to other teams fans - its not long since we were in relegation troubles and financial problems- Bray should be complimented on how they performed this year after being messed around at the start of the year.
Crap like this serves no purpose on this forum and i think its time sligo rovers fans stopped looking down on other clubs.
Rant over.

Your post started out well but ended up just being condescending toward the vast majority of other Rovers fans.

Jake Kelly was fourth top scorer in the Premier Division in a team that struggled, more than all the Sligo players who played a full season.

If he's not half-decent, it doesn't reflect well on the league.

I'd kill for Aidan Price big awkward fella, would be the JOB in the First Division.* :)

*EDIT: Not actually for him, like I wouldn't kill someone if Aidan Price asked me too. I would kill someone if it was to secure his signature for Limerick though.

A Pats player (sorry i forget which one, he's pally with one of the lads) said Guthrie will either be staying there or going to Dundalk.

Which is a balls as I assumed he'd want to drop down a division to play for Limerick. :p

The amount of times I heard that said about him this year.

Do good ball players get muscled and bullied out of games? Do good ball players give the ball away and create very little? Do good ball players keep passing the ball backwards when they are under pressure?

If the definition of a good ball player is someone who can pick out a pass when he has all the time and space in the world to do so, then Stephen Bradley is a good ball player. If he�s put under any pressure he�s sh1te.

26/11/2010, 12:42 PM

Plenty of those in the league alright Shano. For some its question of attitude, and maybe the right manager can get them working.

For others, they're just lazy and/or pussies and there's no hope for them

Loads of rumours flying around our forum today:

Gary Rogers and Conor Kenna to sign back this week, Apparently Kenna was never even in talks with Rovers but Dundalk offered him a contract, Shane Guthrie might be signing back as well

Paul Keegan in talks with us and Derry as well apparently

He wasn't but his agent was. Some people still don't get that Rovers won't be paying them ridiculous money.

The subtleties of contracts appear to be a mystery to some Shamrock Rovers fans.

Let me explain.

If a player is OUT of contract, disucssions with him are not tapping up as he is a free agent.

The subtleties of knowing what people are talking about appears to be a mystery to some Dundalk fans.

Let me explain.

If a player has never talked to Shamrock Rovers, it stands to reason that he was not tapped up by Shamrock Rovers as has previously been suggested on this forum and elsewhere.
Anything regarding Dundalk, is, in this as most other things, irrelevant.

Apologies if this was mentioned earlier but has Liam Kearney stayed with Waterford or moved somewhere else? With no disrespect to Waterford, but Kearney is kinda wasted in the 1st division.

Sorry, but most (if not all) LOI players have agents now and it is usually the agent that is first point of contact and consequentally it is the players agent a club would contact to "tap up" a player (ie see if the player was available).Therefore it is perfectly resonable that a club may attempt to "tap up" a player without ever talking to that player.

Other than that your explanation was very helpfull :rolleyes:

He was approached by Rovers. Not in question at all.

That the approach didn't lead to a contract offer isn't the point. Nor is the semantics of what you call that approach.

In completely unrelated news Conor Kenna and Gary Rogers re-signed for Pats today
