Pre Season 2011

[sheao]

Not from what I heard.

Only going by what our manager said about him .
Taken from the Cork City fc website :

“he joined Sligo on trial, and did well with them, but Paul Cook had already signed four central midfield players, so he didn’t offer him a contract. He’s played for a couple of clubs in France over the last few years, and he looks a decent prospect, so we will see how he does in the game.”

Of the 5 trialists that featured last night, he was the one who impressed me most. Neat and tidy on the ball and very mobile around the pitch. Not afraid to put the foot in either. Took his goal well.

Pats 3-0 Drogheda FT.

Do you know the scorers?

Fair enough, I didnt see him play against Harps but the lads that did see him play said he was a tidy player but didnt really contribute much, a bit stroppy on the pitch.
But saying that he could well do a job in the first division.

[DaveyPats]

Do you know the scorers?

North, Doyle and a younglad called Thomas Crawley.

[Dunny]

Why do people wear short sleeved jerseys and gloves?

Fashion statement.

[Magicme]

Ucd 3-1 mons. Not sure who got ucd goals but Andy haran got ours.

[pineapple stu]

Creevy (apparently), O'Conor and Rusk. Good showing from in nasty weather. Could have had more. Meant to ask Magicme while we were chatting if that was a full Monaghan team?

Edit - Yaol Haro is on trial with us. Must have gotten no offer from Rovers so.

[Magicme]

Stu, your guess is as good as mine. Quite a few have signed but think others were on trial.

[bluepowers]

Limerick 3-2 Mervue ( Breen ' Dunisha ' tracy )

[danthesaint]

Pats 3-0 Drogheda FT.

typical pre season game, O'Brien and McMillian (Dave) were good for us.
Drogs are poor, feel sorry for them, always liked playing them, especially in united/hunky dory park, always good trip, hopefully today wasnt the last ever.

John Lester has to be the fattest player in the league.

[danthesaint]

he was playing today for drogs. loads of timber as pete mahon would say.

[holidaysong]

the pitch in Tolka Park has become unplayable

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

[OneForTheFuture]

Votre plastique terrain c'est de la merde.

La balle rebondit trop élevé!

[sligoman]

Salthill 2-4 Rovers. Blinkhorn, Russell, Cretaro & Dillon with our goals. Aaron Greene came on for us 2nd half.

[sligoman]

He played very well and looks a good prospect . He played in a friendly for Sligo last week where he also was meant to have had a good game .He hit the bar.

His only other highlight was when he knelt down on the ground and decided to urinate on the floodlight pre-match.

Is Dave Ryan second choice for ye after Barry Ryan or is he still first choice?



He hit the bar.

He played well against Shamrock Rovers anyway.

[poster]

Escude was decent enough, would have given him one or two games.

[CSFShels]

Has anyone got the Drogheda United team list from yesterday?

[sheao]

Escude was decent enough, would have given him one or two games.


Yeah I think he merited another trial game at least .

[gufc2000]

GUFC 1-0 up away at Donegal Celtic at half time. Gary Curran the scorer. Karl Moore and a few of the Koreans who played with Sligo last week are in the team

[cornflakes]

Are any of those mystical Koreans any good?

Has COnor got the Galway team staying in Belfast or something?

[Sam_Heggy]

Harps beat Derry 4-2 on penalties after the game finished 0-0 in normal time to win the JJ Reid Cup. About 400 a the game. Gareth McGlynn and Stephen McLaughlin missing the pens for muckers (Ciaran Gallagher saved them both).

[Sam_Heggy]

Did O'Grady play? How'd he do?

Played about 60 mins. Looks sluggish yet but to be expected. Grew into it a bit as the game went on. Some nice touches and will definitely be an asset to us this season. Really looking forward to seeing him fully match fit in midfield for us.

[rocket]

Bray beat shels 2 0. Doyle and shields scorers.

[Mr Maroon]

Has COnor got the Galway team staying in Belfast or something?

No. They drove up and down today and will do so again on Tuesday.

[Dillonman]

No. They drove up and down today and will do so again on Tuesday.

bit expensive if you ask me!!

[Martinho II]

Salthill 2-4 Rovers. Blinkhorn, Russell, Cretaro & Dillon with our goals. Aaron Greene came on for us 2nd half.

has aaron greene signed for ye too sligoman?

[Enruoblehs]

Newbridge Town v Shelbourne scheduled for tonight is OFF because of pitch conditions

[sligoman]

has aaron greene signed for ye too sligoman?Not yet anyway Marty, another signing announced soon so could be him.

[Mr Maroon]

bit expensive if you ask me!!

Cheaper than staying up there from Sunday to Tuesday.

[pineapple stu]

Just a shame there aren't any lower league sides in Galway ye could play against.

[Longfordian]

Yeah or even non Galway First Division sides not too far away, such as us or Athlone. I'm sure the PSNI can't be that much more of a test!

[Dillonman]

Cheaper than staying up there from Sunday to Tuesday.

Seanie boy took our squad plus trialists over to Sligo for a pre season match 2 years ago and had them staying over night so anything is possible with him!

[Mr Maroon]

You can be sure he didn't pay for that out of his own pocket!

They probably don't want anything to do with us (I'm only half joking).

[Dillonman]

You can be sure he didn't pay for that out of his own pocket!

Thats what I meant, lunacy to be at that during pre season! The club forked out for it all, Sean was a good bluffer, and still is!;)

[Dillonman]

Anyone hve any idea on who played for Fingal yesterday in their match with a non league club?

[cornflakes]

Youths are playing Tramore away on wednesday. 7pm kick off
Thats what I've been told anyway
