was watching the match near regi was there for most of the game. I was very pleased with the 1st half, pride and passion left us with a 1 goal advantage at half time, murphs was well up for the game and it seemed to translate onto other utd players. 2nd half sligo showed they were a better team. Lester and Fitz would give you a heart attack, keanes tackle was rightly red carded he got a fair roasting all night but got little cover from o shea. Overall there is a definite improvement noticeable and a precious point , bray watchout
Do you think anyone would take Fenn?! He's useless, he's got nothing about his game, he's not quick, he's not strong, he's not a great tackler, he's poor on the ball...Quote:

I really wonder how he was signed in the first place...
who was the big lad playing centre-back? i think he was no.6
John Fitzgerald.
Could be John Lester you're on about though - "big" would be a good description of him!
magilton, cousins big time friend at the tractor boys in norfolk certainly pulled the wool over his eyes with that harmless player fenn. i cant see how fitzy is any better than nigel keady and colin fortune was twice the player lester is.
we all dream of a team of nigel keadys.....
a heavy ladQuote:

My lord! Fenn got booked! first time I ever saw him fly in! Without Deegan Sligo ran through us.. straight up the middle... it wasn't until Ciaran Foley came on until midfield fought back, he's got his limits but he won't allow teams to play through us without a fight, hope he starts as soon as he's fully fit, he'll toughen up centre mid even if he doesn't have the full 90 mins in him.
Re Ciaran Foley. I have to say I am a fan of the man with the magic hat. He's got guts and determination.

I see what your saying gufct but the whole reason the exodus of players is lack of funds so two new lads comin in wont be getting as much wedge as those on their way out. Respect to the lads who were up there fri night it must be a difficult enough time without having to watch the team they were playin in only a few weeks ago.
Still think keanos sending off was harsh. It was late but so was the tackle on murphs.
Anyone have the names of the two?Quote:

O'Grady came in late on McColloch and was not punished iirc. Never intended to play the ball twas shown in the "ugly" section at the end and Eoin brown nose Hand still had to get in his arse licking for the Kelly family.
Alan Keane's tackle was a terrible one and he got what he deserved. End of.
End of. who do you think you are. we're discussing the match. yes it was a bad tackle but IMO its worth debating whether it was a red or yellow card. judging by how kelly responded to other tackles i feel it was a bit harsh to give a straight red. think if he was being consistent it should have been a yellow
It was a late tackle yellow was fair , the other tackle was late also but from behind so red is the rules , I did think the ref was terrible and dished out way too many yellow cards for minor offences it was like he wanted to be the centre of attention , the ref in the Rovers v Derry game the previous week was very good it was a more competitive game with a lot less cards and you hardly noticed the ref.Quote:
