We have all at this point voted on the player of the season, but who do people think should be the City numero uno. Is it time Mooney got a look in again or should devine keep the shirt. I personally think that devines performances lately have been somewhat lack lustre. Maybe a few games on the bench might re-awaken him?
Just a thought.
IMO Devine is a lot more reliable especially under crosses. He has made one or two blunders lately but he has made a lot more brilliant saves too.
Mooney did well today. It's good to have two of the best goalies in the league in our sqaud.
I beleive in Mooney.....:)
what about O' Shea? he played one match against bohs and got man of the match!!!
O'Shea has left, I believe.Quote:

He also came on as sub in a couple of away matches.
Sunday's programme mentioned that he has left, but didn't say where he's gone.
Alan O'shea is now playing with Youghal Utd.
Mooney did precious little wrong before Devine's arrival and has been patient enough to stay. He deserves his chance to stake a claim. Devine command his box better, but Mooney has never made anything like the blunders against Rovers and Bray.
Haven't seen a few of the home games recently but Devine seems to be making too many mistakes lately.
- Gifts Rovers a goal at home although Coughlan involved too.
- Probably could have been sent off against Longford.
- Gets away with one penalty & ref makes up by giving dubious one against Bohs.
- Shocking mistalke against Bray, might as well have thrown the ball into the net himself.
Whilst he is handy at crosses Devine is prone to the odd error from those too. Mooney probably deserves his chance.....
Mooney got his chance yesterday against the mighty Queenstown Ramblers and kept a clean sheet!Quote:

Is he our true number one?
I'd suggest that both our goalies are in the 'Top 5 in the League'... but Devine shades it. I hope Mooney stays though, you never know what might happen throughout the season.
It's a close one but I have to say Devine. He's more consistant than Mooney though not lately bu any stretch of the imagination...
Nothing in it between the two. However I would just give it to Devine as he is a better shot stopper, but its very marginal.
no way i reckon Mooney is a better shot stopper and better one on one then devine, but devine can kick the ball out straight :D and is prob more reliable under crosses then noel
but i reckon now that mooney deserves a chance
Definitely Mooney. One look at his penalties and one-on-ones record tells you who the better keeper is.
Very tough call. Overall Devine has been great this season but Mooney deserves a chance in league games now and again. Both are fantastic shot stoppers, certainly amongst the best in the league.
I thinks its time that Mooney got a couple of first team games.
The fact that we as supporters are so divided shows that we have two of the best keepers in the league...
Brilliant remark Niamh, I couldn't agree with you more
Devine would be the no.1 but given his mistakes lately Mooney deserves his chance.
its fair enough to say that all agree that mooney deserves a first team stint.how about he plays in the league cup matches and builds up his match fitness for the league.recently devine has made a few blunders and time filling mooneys patch on the subs bench is in order.why is'nt mooney playing with the under-21s?buckley done that and now he's back in the city team.
