What are yer chances here?
The bookies (PaddyPower) make ye 7/2 to beat Ramblers, seems a good price to me.
Apparently (in the Cobh forum) no-one can agree on whether Cobh played well or were just lucky to get a draw with UCD, while ye did OK to hold cup high fliers Kilkenny to a draw!!
Any opinions much appreciated.
7/2 seems good to me. I might spare a fiver on it.Quote:

We have Brendan Hughes back in midfield apparently - don't know if Eoin keating will be available. If so it could give us an edge. At least it will give options in terms of being able to make changes.
On top of all that we have a good record down in Cobh. I think their draw against UCD was a better result than ours against Kilkenny. The most important thing though was to stop the losing streak. Maybe the worm is turning on our season. :ball:
Thanks very much LFC for the opinion. :)
At long last we've waited for this for a while a home win next saturday now would be nice.I presume it was brendan hughes who came on as a sub?.Did there many go down and how did we play overall?.
I hope you did LFCIE :D :DQuote:

Rossi had a mare.
Defensively we were ok but overun from the middle of the park. Brendy was back and solid. We should put him in midfoeld when he is totally match fit to shore up the holes.
We were in control for the first 20mins until a very strange switch was made. Stephen and Rossi swapped wings and then Cobh took control.
Felt that we played much better in the second half and Hartnett got a peach of a goal...cue mad celebrations. Never seen anyone so delighted afterwards than Paul :)
With Keatso back on Sat midfield should be better and we wont concede as many goals.
All the best

rossi has had a very poor season so far. hope he improves for the remainder of the season he has the ability. keating will be a big addition heres hoping his influence will bring more out of hartnett and take us up the table
From watching him Rossi seems to be really capable but tend snot to put the work in at times. Then again it is hard to motivate players when they know they are going to get a game no matter what happens (becaus ethere are only 11 players). I think a bit of competition will be great for the team and certain players.Quote:
