What happened to yer crowd though? ..

a few different things affected the crowd,
- Game on telly
-clashed with liverpool game (no excuse) but you could watch both in the pub at the same time.
- 2nd game at home in a week, not everyone especially with kids could afford it. maybe concessions could have been given on Tuesday night (if rules permit)
- 5.30 is too early on a saturday, ie people working etc

i went myself and really enjoyed the game, glad i attended,
for €15 it was good value

Dean Marshall was excellent.

Silky skills alright. I'd say he's a lethal finisher as well if his kick outs are anything to go by.:D

Fair points all i think. I think people are more interested in getting to crucial league games and the cup games at this stage. With money being tight people may have to pick and choose a bit and with the second game in a week they decided to stay away unfortunately.
I wouldn't be worried. I think our crowds have been decent all year really.

I thought Turner was top class too and deserves more game time.

Crowd was bad because there just isnt any interest in this competition. Just look at the team Cook put out, shows it is way down the priority list and rightly so.

if the game had being at 8 pm (usual time) the crowd would have being bigger. unfortunately setanta are the one calling the shots here. the crowd was 700. should be a large crowd for the shams game next sat night

The young lads done well enough, getting a yellow 2min into your debut would put anyone under pressure,prob afraid to make a 50/50 challenge after, won some good headers and tried to play football.
Barry worked hard at midfield and had a shot on target 1st half, tired 2nd half.
Mark had a tough job when he came on and worked hard.
Well done to the local lads.

You've got a decent sized squad now but bringing in these young lads just seems like yet another excuse for Cook. I think in the long term you'd have been better letting him walk when he was looking for more money.

If those lads lived in Galway they prob play with Salthill or Mervue where youth gets a chance.

We gave away 2 soft goals from a rovers point of view.
Marshall was good but tonight I thought Camano was MOTM.

I thought Camano was excellent, he won everything in the air and his distribution was good. The game seemed to be played at a slower pace which suited him.
In fairness to him its very difficult comming into the LOI as a foreigner and settle straight away, i think people forget this sometimes.
Credit where credit is due.

Turner was ok at best, he did pick out some decent passes but his pace is letting him down big time. Agreed about Camano, i'd like too seem him here next season and see how he does in the time to improve on his fitness. We do need height in the team. Camano has upped (sp?) his game in the last couple of weeks and has been much better with tackles and headers.

Decent effort from what was essentially our reserves against a full strenght Cork side...as has been said Marshall was great..Camanos best game for sure..thought O'Mahoney was decent also...very disappointed with their equaliser..Keane(i think!) played a high ball into Ryan who didnt get it and Cork broke and scored..O'Mahoney was nearer to Keane and unmarked so a simple ball on the ground to him and it could have been a great win for us!!.great ball in by Cambridge so was hard to deal with for our keeper and defence...anyway was delighted i went..great evening for a game..dont buy any of the excuses for what was a very poor crowd..after what was served up Tuesday night i thought there would have been a decent crowd..

Yet again it was Keanes fault for the second goal, stupidly gifting possesion to Cork when we were on the break,

he also set up Ryans goal and created a couple of good chances for himself. He does lack pace but he has a good head on his shoulders and is a big presence up front. Even if he was only used from the bench, i think he has the quality to cause most defences headaches. Morrison nearly scored a peach too when he tried to chip the keeper from a long way out. He has great vision and I would love to see him tried out in a central midfield role.

apparantly the commentators on setanta were giving duffy an awful time of it! bit harsh to be going so hard on a 16 year old.

I watched the first 10 minutes of the game in Mooneys yesterday and the guy who comentates on Setanta is an absolute simpletin.
Duffy got booked in the first minute and yer man goes off on one, he kind of set the tone.
i thought Duffy started shakky but he settled quite well after that.
Very good performance for a 21 year old never mind a 16 year old, he should be proud of himself.

Cork were missing Kevin Long, Dan Murray, Neal Horgan and Killian Lordan played with a chest infection. They could only bring 5 subs so not a full strength Cork side by any means.

At the All Ireland yesterday. Sclingermann made one great save. He won the semi final for Mayo with 5 great saves. Deligted to learn he's our A keeper. That guys a seriously good shot stopper.

Faz,Gamble,O Halloran,Dennehy,Silagailis,Murphy,O Donnell etc....it was a very strong line up and much more like their 1st team than our line up..my point was it was a good show from our fringe players.

Heard Setanta pay a figure of about 4 or 5K to the home team when they show a live match. Anybody know?

Eh no, Kevin Long, Dan Murray and Cillian Lordan have started almost all our games of late.

Greg getting injured and Doolins ridiculous decision to put Gamble right back killed us along with the eqully ridiculous decisions of starting O Donnell and Siligailis all the time.

Poor performance, poor game but a draw was fair enough. Long trip to watch that though

I agree it was a good performance. I read that they only had one of a regular back 4 starting.

Well Red

At least we have a good squad now compared to earlier in the season and this should help us in the run in to the season. Financial situation seems not to have disimproved but we need to get out to the matches and keep the fund raisers happy as they have done a top class job. Some exciting games ahead and especially the one coming up at the end of the week.

True, I didnt even think of the game when responding tbh, it's mostly a blur, was just replying to the post.

I see Cliftonville who Sligo play in the Setanta Cup had a good 4 nil win over Linfield tonight. Seem to be a young skillful enough team.
21/09/2009, 11:51 PM
CF1989

i watched the second half. linfield were terrible. ground looks poor and the pitch is very poor aswell. looks very heavy. they look to be an okay side, 2 or 3 decent players. dogged enough team by the looks of things

Couldnt make game so watched it on tv and have to say yer man was one of the worst commentators I have ever heard. His treatment of Duffy was nothing short of a disgrace, also made numerous mistakes, getting players mixed up etc. I must apologise to TV3 as I always said they were the worst ever but setanta made a great effort to take their crown.
