Phew. Flynnie just scored a penalty to make it 1-nil. Any news on how it came?

I thought Roy and Fenn were excellent tonight. Fenn is like a new man of late, chasing everything and his first touch is brilliant.
Spotter was (whisper it) a little harsh..........how ironic is that :D after Galway not getting one last Friday night.
I haven't seen such a one sided match in years though.....in truth Galway were brutal. They hoofed everything and there were some very nasty tackles.
The guy that got the red card had it coming for a while - he was constantly giving Kelly lip and he just got pi$$ed off with him - stupid really.
The gulf in basic skill and ball control was huge.
They were awful. It should have been 5 or 6 nil to be honest.
Bit of a concern seeing Flynny go down a couple of times and gingerly pick himself up. Can't see him lasting the season to be honest :(

a good enough performance from city but u could see straight away we missed doyler, on a positive note though, towards the end of the game flynny looked to be getin back into the swing of things more and the goal will obviously help a bit
we should have had more goals but were through to the next round and after the last 2 seasons we cant complain can we!!
dont know how roy got motm to be honest,i would have given it to fenn or gamble,great crowd aswell for a monday night,about 4,000 id say
fair play to yer man for the 250 kick-ups,harsh on the old doll after getin 203 last week!!
O'Flynn was like an ould fella on crutches. Every time there was contact with his precious body, he went down like a soft sack of spuds,worrying about whether he'd ever be right again. There was a remarkable period when City were attacking repeatedly and Flynn had to crawl off the pitch to avoid the game being stopped - it was remarked that it was a decent indication of what the rest of the players think of Flynnie's injuries. Indeed! We can't go through a season hoping to win the league with a paranoid crock for a target man. We need a centre forward, maybe even two, and thats no insult to Neale Fenn who played very well tonight.

While I agree Fenn & Gamble had good games I would have given MOTM to Billy, I thought he caused Galway a lot of problems especially in the 2nd half and how he missed that chance at the end i'll never know.
George was very poor last night, O'Flynn looks like a guy short on confidence, a few goals should sort that one out. Good to see the set pieces being shared around, this Georgie 1st ever for everything was getting a bit boring.
We look as if we need a new striker.
Agree with you about Billy, thought he played very well.
I thought the "penalty" last Friday night was much more clearcut than the one last night, though I didn't see the incident with George last night. We badly need to up our gamer against Bray. Simply hitting the ball up high will be meaty and drink for Charles on Friday night, so a major improvement needed to even get a point.
Didn't make Galway last Friday but did see Bray at the Cross and they looked poor, Avondale really gave them a game and had Dale had 11 players for the whole game it could have been different. We do look really short of players up front. Did we have a striker on the bench last night ?
Is CP O'Brien on loan still at Limerick or did they sign him?
I heard some rumours surrounding Glen Fitzpatrick but Shels would hardly sell to us.
Didn't see the replay but according to reports the better team won! :(
I do think though that you have to really look at your team, there is a few problems with strikers in particular, your just not getting the goals..
Come on like you only beat us because of 2 dodgy ref decisions and we are second from the bottom of the first Division...
There are plenty of teams much better than us that will be able to make the most of your weaknesses...
I wish you all the best with the rest of your season :o
I firmly believe that having Liam and Denis back fit would give us that little bit extra we need to kill off teams.Quote:

Flynny

That's no bad side!
Flynn to get fit, Behan to come back, O'Donavin can be moved from the wing, Kearney to come back and start giving more supply to the front guys and Nolan is on loan to Limerick so things are ok up front. We werent a one man team with Doyle, so things should be ok.
We need a right winger and a sub for the left one IMO.
