Afaik, our ground in Tallaght is the only one in the division, that's not at the back of a housing estate.
There was a housing estate there but it was nicked.Quote:

It kills me to say it but fair play to them. If the shoe was on the other foot I'd be rubbing their noses in it big time.
We have no excuses for the game against Pats. We've used them all up long ago. Paul Cook needs to drag a performance out of this team and I hope to God he can do it.
Who else in the league plays there? :confused:Quote:

No-one not even your team sometimes as last night proved.And the ground is owned by South Dublin County Council no-one else.Quote:

The new guys played well as did Kelly in central midfield boco looked good there also , Cash had one of his better games but still struggles to beat defenders , thought we were very commited and showed great effort and workrate overall so with a few players back next week we should start the charge up the table. I don't think holmes is up to the pace in this divsion he always need 2 touches and is a liability at left back he may be better off on the wing and play Keohane at the back.

Why has Raf not started the last 2 games ? injury ?
I missed about 7 minutes of the game, which included 3 goals and a double save by their goali. Agreed re Boco in midfield, he played very well. Hopefully with the players back he will be allowed another chance there, along side O'grady. Blinkhorn looks like he will be of great aid to us. With Pats away in Europe mid week, I honestly think we can beat them. Our best 11 at the moment looks potentially very good
Brush
Keane Ventre Peers Kendrick
Morrison Boco O'Grady Marshall/Doyle
Raf Blinkhorn
Whilst it's obvious we are in a relegation battle, I was particularly worried after the Cork game. However, I now think we have enough to pull through.
I don't mean to repeat myself lads, but i was the one warning you all of what was ahead. I said it at the start of the season and was ridiculed for it by most of you on here, now look who was right.
It was so obvious this situation was on the horizon. We will be relegated definately unless there is big changes, not much hope of that though.
Dont know what you're on about big changes , we've had 6 players signed in the last few weeks that should be change enough , Plenty of time left to get ourselves out of the position we are in now.Quote:

See how smart you are then.Quote:

I'm the same, although i worried before the Cork game. I think if we'd managed to stay injury free e.g Butler, Mauro, even Peers in the last month, we'd be in a totally different situation. I still think we could do with another central defender thoughQuote:

I hope.

Please be more specific...I think I know what you're getting at. Spit it out!!!Quote:

I'm not having a go at you but it smacks a bit of Enda Kenny to be connstantly chipping in with "I knew this would happen, everything was done all wrong and I told ye so" without offering a viable alternative.
For instance, who would you have liked to take over PC's job?
