A very good side who showed great spirit and played like a team which is unusual for recent TSDL teams,a credit to all involved,i hope they go on now

I certainly agree they showed great spirit. It was a tremendous display against a very good Munster Senior league side. They really played for each other and full credit to all fourteen players used. The goal was a gem, created by Ross Cosgrave and finished excellently by Sean O'Hara. Ten minutes into the second half TSDL were reduced to 10 men, yet a marvellous never say die attitude saw them through for victory. Munster Senior league now play Cork AUL, with TSDL away to Cork AUL in early January. I hope the manager persists with this team - he will not get better effort from others.
Big win for cashel today beating cahir, should keep them up now. Cahir or galbally or both to go down it looks.
the team below would beat the current team...
d breen, m quinlivan, p breen, a leahy, d loughnane, t scully, m ryan, g doyle, m comerford, t o'connor & j carr
Thats a good team, but your obviously not in management!
The lads got a great win and still people have a gripe about the team and the selection,there is just no pleasing some people and if that 11 you names had of played you would have named the 11 that did play and said they would have won
well said Jeff..
stop b!tching girls, i just think that there are better players out there than the 11 that started!
Yes a good team above and I would pick another eleven which I would consider equally as good also. Having said that i think the manager did very well with what was available to him on the night and the team that played gave it 100%. By the way, I think P. Breen and J. Carr would have been on the team but both were injured. I am surprised you select D. Breen as goalkeeper in front of Ritchie Ryan. I have seen both perform quite a few times over the past couple of years and must say Ritchie Ryan is one of the best keepers I have seen at junior level. He is an excellent shot stopper and would say is worthy of junior international recognition.
Best keeper in tipp in my opinion is conor bannon. had some season last year.
ha ha ha you must be codding us footballfanatic! is it april 1st already? bannon wudnt lace derek or richie's boots, kenrick from clonmel celtic is another fine keeper
I would rate Conor Bannon as a better keeper than Derek Breen. Derek is a fine keeper but has his faults. Without doubt Richie Ryan is the best Keeper in the county. I find it very amusing that come on town now is putting Derek ahead of him. Without Richie Ryan town wouldnt have done as well as they have in the past 5 years. I think come on town now might have picked his team knowing that it would cause a bit of a stir.
Arra comeontownnow, he's up there i think. I agree about kenrick, great keeper.
Dont think we will ever get everyone to agree on this but im sure everyone will agree is that there is some serious talent in the league and the manager will be spoilt for choice when everyone is fit and available!
he is not bad in fairness, big man who you wudnt go for a 50 50 with him cause he wud blow you up to the other 18 yard box but lets be honest here, technically ryan and breen wud be far superior
Ryan and breen are more "la deeeeeeeeeeee daaaaaaa" keepers alright but when it comes to the important stuff such as shot stoppin and comin for crosses, i think they are all on a par.
O redman, we know well some serious quality in the league and there always goin to be argumnets about oscar traynor squad, thats what makes the league so good. i wouldnt fancy managin the tsdl team myself, be a tricky job.
with all due respect to ya footballfanatic, both breen and ryan have been doing it for 6/7 years at the top now and Bannon has only really decided to play in goal the past year. It is all well and good cataching balls over lads heads in the tsdl when you can more often than not be playing not great sides. Breen and Ryan have played in big games (MJC Finals and FAI finals) over the past few season and have acquited themselves well in these games and have often been outstanding but can i ask what the biggest game Bannon has found himiself under pressure in? maybe some sort of a tipp cup or league game???? therefore how could you rate him on the same level......maybe he has great potential but thats about all he has shown so far. The "la deeeeeeee daaaaaaaaaaaa" keepers as you call them have been keeping michaels and town in important games over the past few years, so its not as if they have been getting a free pass to these games without doing anything......when it comes down to it what defines a keeper is not the bread and butter (shots & crosses) you speak of 'cos surely every keeper can do that? but the little things that they have that make the extra.
As for the TSDL game i was not at it to comment but from what i hear it was a good performance with a lot if potential starters out for one reason or another. Game against AUL is really the group decider....will be interesting to see what happens and who plays?
if everyone was fit and available this would be my idea of the strongest TSDL side

James Walsh is captain of Ireland for gods sake of course he is in the side and the front 3 has to have Barry Ryan in it,as a club mate who you told us last week silenced all the critics im surprised he is out as well,also is there a better left sided player than Barnes?
