a very easy win but we could have easily gone behind with some comical defending from set pieces from the start. "are ye coaching them at all?" shouted one supporter at the bench. Goals came easy as this was a very very young Cobh team. Playing young players in this stage of a competition is ok if we are preparing ourselves for the first division but make no mistake they are not good enough for the premier.
So we won with a clean sheet & hit three, while giving youngsters a run out, away from home in a competitive game. And its still all wrong wrong wrong, because of what almost happened and what might happen at some unspecified stage in the future.
Fair enough so.
Either you weren't at the game or were goofing off when the Cobh number 7 and his mate were lining up to slot home a set piece, this was despite the whole ground screaming that they were free and only poor first division finishing let us off the hook. We were straight up defensively poor last night but as they say a win is a win. That back 4 will get it royally by Rovers based on that performance ....Quote:

Me ? Or are you asking NeverFeltBetter again ?
Either or. Im honestly baffled that people are talking up a victory against a 19s amateur team with one or two juniors added. Rovers tomorrow night should be a bigger indication of how good that back 4 isQuote:

Wouldn't say I talked anything up, I just picked out the positives from a game we won against Cobh, which was far from certain we would win in light of recent events and results. I did it in a Cobh match thread, where I also asked how the new lad got on upfront, which might be your clue as to whether I was there or not ? :)Quote:

Naw, you came on banging on about how that back four wouldn't do against Prem opposition. We won, its nice we won, we could have gotten dumped out of the cup by a club we should not be losing to, its not talking anything up to be glad that didn't happen.
