Some American club from Maryland. We played them during the week and won 4-0. I think Wexford played them too.

I was at our game against them on Tuesday. They came out for their warm up 15 min before kick off in tracksuit bottoms and their keeper was wearing our kit and played in tracksuit bottoms. They looked like a bunch of lads out for a game of Astro. We played crap and won 4-0 I actually said to the lads with me if pats played a full team they’d win 11-0, I wasn’t far off. Whoever invited these over needs to shake their heads total waste of time playing games like that.

Sure Sports were so comically bad, it started to get a bit awkward towards the end just watching it. They're no team at all. They really wouldn't be any better than you're average hungover Sunday League side. They looked like a group of mates who won a competition to play Pat's at Richmond in the final pre-season game.

No idea, but, unusually, they may let you down.

Exactly ! Seriously though, I don't think I've seen a weaker team at Richmond. It was so easy. Nothing learned from it in terms of the coming season, but on the other hand a nice run out with a few goals can't do any harm I suppose.

Town having a testing workout against Ashbourne United. Currently 10-0 up. I had to look hard to find out what league they’re in (LSL Div 3A). Nothing to be gained except fitness.

Athlone only beat them 2-0 last week though.

Edit 11-0 now sorry. Closing in on Pats’ score against the Americans.

No idea if he was there or is involved with them, I wasn’t there, but I don’t think he ever did actually come back as a player.

Derry have lined up a couple of IL pre-season friendlies.
Home to Cliftonville on 22nd June, and home (or away, take your pick) to Institute on 28th July.

22nd is the 'break' weekend, so presumably we'll rest our main squad.

How did Mannus play?

Is he likely to start ahead of Buzunu next week?

Mannus let a couple in I'd have expected him to save, to be honest. Bazunu will play against AIK, which he has earned on merit. Mannus will have to fight for his place, which is only right, and I'm sure Alan knows the same having watched Gavin the past couple of weeks.

That's a bit harsh Charlie , I didn't think he had a bad game made a couple of outstanding saves as well.
I think he will start against AIK . Bazunu has been excellent but at 16 to be playing a European game against strong opposition?,
I think he needs protecting a bit. a kid his age shouldn't be under that sort of pressure, hes only 16 in 5th year in school

Did no harm to Dylan Watts a couple of years ago.

Though keeper is a somewhat unique position obviously.

Though keeper is a somewhat unique position obviously.

He dropped 2 high balls at the Cross and looked under pressure in the air. Id be surprised if he started given how vital commanding your area is in Europe. He's a great shot stopper though and I'm sure the rest will come with experience.

I was behind the goal and one of the crosses he dropped was as a result of a shove by the cork forward which the ref didn't see (terrible ref).
He did drop one simple one though but to be fair to him I don't remember him dropping one in any of the other matches , he is very commanding of his box in general .
Notwithstanding that id rather have Manus in goal , I just think its too much to expect from a 16 year old.

If Bazunu played and did well against AIK his transfer value would rocket.

Hardly an issue that Rovers would consider
sbgawa
10/07/2018, 1:29 PM
Scouts have been watching him for a long time over lots of matches , 1 good or bad performance won't change much.
I still think he is to young to put under that kind of pressure but then I would probably have played Manus in Cork ............

Are you seriously suggesting that a fine performance by Bazunu in the more pressurised atmosphere of the Europa League against quality opposition like AIK would not further impress watching scouts?

If Rovers want to add some zeros to his transfer value, clean sheets against such 'heavy hitters' as Bray and Limerick are not where it is at.
sbgawa
10/07/2018, 2:00 PM
Yes I am ....sort of....scouts don't sign players on the basis of one match as even average players have the odd day when they look good and fantastic players don't look good every day.
It would be a help but that's all. Equally if he plays and does badly it won't kill the interest in him. its a double edged sword.

Went to see St.Johnstone play a few times last season as my missus is in college over there. Mannus didn’t look great in any of the games tbh
