Got an email from a Sheffield United supporter on Facebook of all things. Think he was very impressed with the Longford welcome. I sent him this way to say hello. Quietly optimistic about this season. I'll be happy with being in the mix for promotion.
They did quiet well last night I thought. O'Donnell looks a good prospect. Dunno what to make of Barrett's brother yet though.
I would agree Rocky77,Quote:

What did you think of our new No 7 ? Excellent non? (apart from a few Ronaldo moments early in the game ;) - he gets a 9.6 from me for the third somersault :o )
Yeah he looked pretty good. He's coming from a full-time set up with Galway last season so you'd expect him to have a bit about him. He never seems to have had a decent run anywhere so a consistent run in the team may just bring him on.
From the reports it seems things are starting to come together but i suppose pre season is no real indication of the season ahead. With a whole new eleven tho pre season is important for them to get to know one another. I spoke to one of the players and he said their was a good crowd at it. Hopefully that boads well for the seaon ahead and i also heard we have sold more season tickets then ever before which is great news!!! Hopefully things can start to look up from here on in!!
Was anyone here sitting over on the open side of the pitch with the the gang with the drum(s) )?
I use the "Muppets" term in a joking way, as whenever any Shams player went over to take a throw on that side, that gang were shouting like The Muppets / Animal from Sesame Street :D:D
The crowd in the stand with me were all laughing at the "grreeeaaaaggghhhh" shouting from this gang .... :)

Bit of a long commute to home games, but I hope to get to more of the away matches instead ...
A lot of us on here do stand over there. It was one way to keep warm!Quote:

Actually no - I know Aaron a bit thru a friend of a friend ... And have seen Noel McA play a few years ago, so it seemed a logical (?!!!!) one to me :DQuote:
