Lads I just thought I'd answer some of your posts all in one, and give my opinion on last night's game.
For a start you weren't "awesome" in the first half. You were the better team, but you created nothing. YOu had two excellent long range efforts and we had two poor shots. that was up until McPhee's expertly taken goal.
In the second half you pushed on and had a fair few corners and might have scored once but agian created very little. We soajed p the pressure and looked good on the counter with Bird's goal a testament to the skill of him, Mbabazi and Osam. After that you didn;t trouble us and I thought we'd score again but for a couple of excellent saves by money.
I think it was obvious to all that you badly missed O'Callaghan and to be honest I think if he ws playing the result migt have been different. For us, our defence as superb with Foley giving as good an individual performance as I can remember in a Pats shirt.
The atmosphere in our section was good and I was surprised by the amount that travelled. o thought about 100 wold go down but about double that did. If any of you stayed around for the scenes at the end, you can see the spirit within the club at the moment.
I'm not going to start the whole dolan thing again but his comment in the programme were no better than the stuff Collins has said. I think its time to leave it now. (BTW when Collins mentioned Kerr in his league Cup speech, it was because Kerr was at the match. he didn't just ecide to mention him and not Dolan..)
One other thing the Cork programme was probably the best I've ever seen at a Pats game and I'd like to congratulate all involved with it.
BTW I was glad to see that all this internet ******** hasn't hrt the relationship between Pats and Cork fans and we could all have a drink together in the Horse Shoe last night
