Monday Night's Results

[Krstic]

I'll tell you one thing for sure mate, they don't count as goals.


But that's not what you said.

I'll remind you'
You said "you didn't threaten until late, after they made some changes"

I've asked you "Do the efforts we had off the woodwork in the first half not count as threaten" and you've totally ignored that point.

I have no arguement over who deserved to go through, In my opinion the team with the most points deserves to go through, no matter how well the team plays, if you don't win matches you're out and that's that.

But you have made a statement that is not backed up by facts and when challenged on it, just ignored it.

Did you even see the match???

[The Sheliban]

To be honest, I never thought Derry looked like breaking us down, which was surprising as they normally give our back four a torrid time.
I'm not so much disappointed that we lost a chance of a home semi-final draw, but for the fact that we had the chance to get the Can't-beat-Derry monkey off our back.
I think criticism of Derry is quite undeserved - I won't say they deserved to beat us, because that is patently false, but they are well-organised and have players of real quality, which means they'll be up there again this season.

I saw the match and I saw Shelbourne as the better side.
Just like they were in the Brandywell until the blizard struck and saved you.

I agree with you, Shelbourne were the better side at the Brandywell, as for Monday night i thought a draw was a fair result.

BUT

Again you ignore your earlier statement, which was a load of crap.

Your play wasn't threatening!
You may have hit the bar but you weren't consistently creating chances. No matter how outclassed a side is, they're bound to get into the opponents half once or twice, doesn't mean they were a threat!

:rolleyes:

I have some straws here, would you like to clutch them?

Sorry mate, too busy preparing for our Setanta Sports Cup Semi-Final to be participate in your homo-erotic fantasy of me clutching at your straw!

Cheerio!
Better luck next time.

As I dislike Shels and Linfield more than yourselves, I really do hope you get to the final against Drogheda.

But just be careful, remember what happened last time you played them in a final:eek:

No worries! If by some miracle they manage to sneak past Linfield, we should be fine as we've removed all the Shels lads from the team. Have beaten them twice and drawn once with them since the final.

[SeanDrog]

Would be nice to beat them in another final (for traditions sake) but I don't think we will meet them - it will be a Drogs - Shels final. Cork haven't the skill or mental strength to beat Shels.

Doolittle claims he played a weakened side against us because he had accepted his fate and knew he couldn't beat us. The fans reckon they're glad they got Linfield because Shels are the "best side on this island" and they had no chance against them. Now you reckon that the side who played you three times this season, won 2, drew 1, scored 4 and conceded 0 don't have the "skill or mental strength to beat Shels"!

Where does all that leave you?
Fairly bleak outlook for the drogs!
Chin up lads, you might get lucky and draw Gretna in the UEFA Cup.

[SeanDrog]

sorry mate - its not our manager now crying about the long hard season and players being fatigued (already) maybe you should have rested players as well (all well some managers are spoofers and others manage).

Nice quote this week from Rico about there being no need for a large squad :D Maybe Cork wouldn't draw so many league games if Rico spent more time training the small Cork squad rather than stroking the media with his words of wisedom :rolleyes:


Where are Drogs - well we are top of the league table the last time I looked and Cup Chamions and semi final of the Setanta. - oh yeah just signed a finnish keeper for the Linfield game :D

I hope (as I do like Cork) Shels don't show you up too much.

[micls]

- oh yeah just signed a finnish keeper for the Linfield game :D


Is he eligible?? Thought you had to pick a 25 man squad before the start of the Setanta??

Now ... that might be a bit of a banana skin for Drogs.

This just posted on CCFC (from meeting of Setanta organising comittee today):

Drogheda United - request to register a goalkeeper

A request from Drogheda United to register an additional goalkeeper to their Setanta Sports Cup squad was discussed by the Committee. The Committee decided to refuse the club's request to register a goalkeeper for use in the Setanta Sports Cup Tournament on the grounds that the Tournament Regulations clearly state that the closing date for the registration of players for inclusion in a participating club's squad (of 25 players) was on 22nd February (This date also coincided with the closure of the first eircom League Transfer and Registration Window).

Furthermore, the Committee decided that as one of Drogheda United's registered goalkeepers was under suspension, no relief could be sought in respect of this. This decision of the Committee is consistent with its treatment of other applications for changes/additions to squads which had been previously considered over the two years of the Tournament.

You're laughing (http://godscopybook.blogs.com/gpb/images/laughing_crying_1.jpg) on the other side of your face now!

David

have to say been very impressed by Linfield in the games I have seen. Been particularly impressed by your old stagers Noel Bailie and Glenn Ferguson. Peter Thompson has been excellent and Paul Mc Areavey too. Genuinely hope you make the final and that is another North-South clash like last year.
