no bother....If it works out that way we'll all be happy...wonder what odds you would get on that? Wayside 12/1 at the weekend so you'd never know...One of the Wayside blokes had a €100 win on it ...now thats belief...€1300 win
I would say about 60/1 but would be interesting to see. Rams were 25/1 to win 1st Div before season. I got a tenner on them as they dropped to 19/1 and recently were 11/4 but I presume they are about 5/1 at the moment.
A bit of a shock result alright but the gap between the 1st Division and the better MSL and LSL teams isn't that great these days so results like these are more commonplace.
You would still expect the Rams to win but I don't think you can call it a MAJOR shock at all.
It was a poor display all round. Wayside were physical and we were not direct enough. The one chance O'Reilly had was straight through the middle. Wing play against bigger opposition wasn't working. Davin O' Neil showed them up with the direct approach along with Conor Meade. Mul in center gave us more chance in the last 15mins than we had in the whole game. Free kicks were wasted, should have taken a few more pops at goal. There keeper took two touches everytime to bring it under control and we put no pressure on. Our midfield was non-existant, enough said.
You can't blame the players for the loss, Though Steve should have moved Brossy up front with o'reilly at halftime as wayside were under no real pressure at the back.
Roll on Kilkenny and some better games. :o
Im a wayside fan, and was at the match on saturday. I taught we out played cobh for the match and really deserved the win. Think were gona suprise a few people in this cup! Come on the Wayside! ;) ;)
I am not sure if I was watching the same game as everyone else from some of the comments I see brosie rated as 6 out of 10 and muckie as 5 out of ten.
In my opinion we had only one player who was any way half decent and that was Muckie who gave it everything while others strolled around.
Brosie was way off form some of his passing and his headers were way off the mark and he put players in trouble quiet a few times.
The one thing everyone seemed t be going on about on the night was the formation.I dont belive what formation we would have played it would have made a difference unfortunatly Ramblers thought they had nothing to do but turn up and the attititude was crap.
All credit to wayside they did what we have done to other teams this season worked hard defended from the front to the back the amount of running the forwards did was outstanding keeping the back 4 under pressure all the time.
maybe the supporters should accept responsibility for some of the team performances.... I'd say we're the quietest supporters in the league and ironically we seem to be more vocal at away games... put it this way St. Colemans Park never provides the legendary 12th man.... to be fair there are a few who try to rally the crowd but it never gains momentum. Time for the committee to get to work now ...get kids and youth involved... try to create a family/party atmosphere... where's the mascot... Ramasaurus.
A teams performance is a reflection of the clubs performance over a season.
Come on you rams!!!!!
Are you willing to dress up as Ramasaurus so?
Maybe getting big flags, drums etc done might be worth a try, no idea how much they cost but maybe a whip round could be started.
how about....re opening the main stand!! :mad:
What's it closed for?? Sounds funny saying "main stand" :D
i dunno?i think the young fellas were up there st starting fights with other fans.
fair play to them on one note but a poor display by rams,ive been told.
but as one poster said (eddie i think it was) rams still have a great chance of winning the 1st division.
so i think the fans that are slagging the team off should really take a look back at last season,
i think we didn`t win a game till near december last season,and even doe we were only ever beaten by the odd goal no1 could question that every player was playing with their heart on their sleeve,espesially john meade,jammer,brosie,reilly,and john andrews.
so really the fans should look at that fact that the team is in such a strong possition as aposed to the psition they were last year as a positive rather than one cup defeat to a "non league" side as a negitive..!
also if u look at the team this season compared to last season its a much better squad,more players,better players and players that are pushing dublin city all the way this season,surely thats gotta please even the most demanding rams fan.
i think the legendary 12th man shouldn`t have to be applied by the board,i think the town of cobh should also do its part,advertising and stuff,u see cork city f.c everywhere when u walk around town.gearsys, shorts, training tops,do any shops in cobh sell the teams kit? cause i know no matter what sports store u go to in cork u can see the city green white and red everywhere,
so i think rather than bug a board about family days and that(dont get me wrong its a great idea!) but they wont take a chance of spending money if they wont see a return,
so as a person living in cork who goes to the match`s when im not working late,the town of cobh get behind your team, cause there gonna need good support next season while playing the likes of boh`s and cork city
so come on u rams lets b aven u!
slan!
Good post Steven17.....Points well made..and spot on.
