[avvenalaf]

Thank you Deecay. One does one's best.

[sligoman]

According to Cook, we played a fairly strong team in this and won all our games comfortably enough. He said a lot of the players actually wanted to play in it, they enjoyed it. Think he said Faz played.

[Magicme]

A fairly strong team??? I saw your team sheet and it was basically your first team that took to the pitch against our team made up of some juveniles!!

[feo123]

what was the team magicme

[Rory H]

Ya one of our players said it was a bit like men against boys but we did not have a choice because we do not have any youth players

[Magicme]

Sorry feo cant remember but did notice faz, raf, foy and cash on the list.

[neutrino]

but we did not have a choice because we do not have any youth players

so is it a case of this futsal thing being mandatory ? just wondering why they'd bother otherwise. isnt futsal supposed to bring on youth players !!

[deecay]

[Magicme]

United’s 2nd game of the day was a real thriller against a Sligo Rovers team who had full time professionals such as Keith Foy and Gavin Peers, as well as Irish Under 21 International Seamus Coleman on their team. Rovers got off to a great start with two goals and it looked like United were in for a lesson in football from the professionals.


Jim Murphy was not about to give in though and rallied his team and within 5 minutes, United were level with goals from Gerard McCrudden and a Jim Murphy spot kick. Sligo took the lead 3 minutes later from the spot and the United lad’s heads started to drop.


By half time United found themselves 5-2 down and could not cope with the speed and the skill from the U21 Irish international Coleman. He was unstoppable and was the main difference between the two sides.


Monaghan re-grouped at half time and the never say die spirit of this team shocked Sligo. United pulled it back to 5-4 with 2 goals from Charley McDonald only for Sligo to go 6-4 up with very slack goal.


Mark Mulligan pulled another one back for United and Sligo were all over the court with Monaghan hitting the post and side netting on several occasions. At 6-5 United had Sligo on the back foot only for Coleman to break Monaghan’s hearts again with a fine individual goal.


Aurimas Meidus scored a thumper of a goal with 5 minutes to go and United were back on track at 7-6. The Monaghan lads gave their all in the last few minutes but Coleman popped up again to wrap it up for Sligo at 8-6.

[sligoman]

Aurimas MeidusLocal lad is he Magicme?

[feo123]

Local lad is he Magicme?

from carrickmacross i think

[Magicme]

from carrickmacross i think

No he is from the Emyvale direction. You are mixing him up with our ex goalie Vladimir Muntananananananau from Carrick.

I say we just demand that to see proof of the Pat's players legal status in the country.

[Rovers fan]

I heard King Kev is managing them and Fitzaldinho will be pulling the strings in the centre. A great father son partnership!

[redtildead]

Fitzaldinho


Or as he likes to be known "The White Kaka" :D

[Fivesilver]

"The White Kaka" :D

I got that once, but it's okay - you can get tablets for it.

[Guts&Glory]

Is it just me or does having a team of Futsal experts for the Pats team defeat the purpose of the Futsal being set up in the first place ?

With all due respect I cannot imagine many if any of the Brazilian and Moldovan lads getting into the Pats first team.

Wasn't the idea of the Eircom League bringing in the idea to improve the skills of our younger players that were just in or close to breaking into the first team ?
