Kendrick has been defensively poor for a while now, i cant see why he cant be goal side of his opponent at all times, sometimes he was running back to his own goal to defend and his opponent on the inside - schoolboy stuff!Quote:

I dont understand this??? Rovers in a cup final and you couldnt be arsed...??? This is one of the most ridiculous statements that I have ever read from you!Quote:

And '81 was the most miserable experience for a rovers fan, 5h1t team, 5h1t weather and 5h1t result - no complaints about that one!
The cup final loss hit me harder than I thought it would ...to get so close and then lose the plot with poor decision making from both players and management - I am always against going with one man up front to kill a game because you hand too much initiative to the opposition by not keeping them occupied at the back!
look up the meaning of a good footballer in trinners library over a few pints of hino and maybe you'll know something about a game of footballQuote:

with the problems we had mid season it was agreed he'd wait until another time to hae the operation and he'd play through it, so he has been playing with an injury from the 2nd game of the season.
i thought in the first half on sunday he had a very good game
Feo, I used to love Ryan, thought he was the Sligo Rovers equivalent of Andrea Pirlo at one point. He'd mop things up in the centre of the defence, be able to pass the ball proficiently and be able to see the crucial pass to made from time to time. Here's the proof.Quote:

If he's fully recovered by March, then maybe he should be re-signed. Maybe.
Also, there was no need for the remarks thanks.
your welcome

The Ventre worship has always puzzled me, was way out of his depth on Sunday - didn't get near a Fingal player all game.
Oh and Danny worshipers stop blaming Ryan for Dannys poor showing.
Ventres responsibility to tackle the opposition when two feet away from him is his repsonibilty not Ryan (who was poor also but you cannot let Dannys performance hid behind him).
ventre was my man of the match
honestly, are you being serious when you say ventre was motm !!! :eek: to be fair i think the whole team underachieved but i thought keane was the best until last 10 mins and he just fell apart. it was a bad performance and i was angry up until today but all i will say is, kendrick is no way good enough as is richie ryan but i dont believe they go on to the pitch and say to themselves i wont bother trying today..... they are just limited footballers, whether that be to injuries or other reasons. i just believe they are not up to scratch.
as for danny ya cant fault him for effort but he is no chris turner or gary deegan nor will he ever be and he barely touched the ball in the final. watch it again and it is clearly evident but we are all entitled to our views and cf you have yours and other people will differ. i feel for all the team as they will have been more disappointed than any of us at their performances. always next year though

The difference with the semi was that we had Ryan and Morrision on the bench, Morrison got all the credit for that result but RR deserved more, legs were'nt up to 90.
Heard rumours leading up to the game about bonus payments and that the conclusion was not by mutual consent.
On the bright side I felt if we had Conor and Turner (Chris) in the side we would still be on the pi55 not off work with depression.
Cook has gave us some great memories, he's still a relatively young manager, hopefully the great memories can become historic and legendary occassions over the next few years.
I agree with the rest of your post, about Cook and Turner/O'Grady, but this isnt good reading. Morrison was the man that day and it is clear to see. Ryan actually was decent in terms of not giving the ball away and doing what he does in spreading it to others to create. Boco and Morrison made things happen. Every time Morrison touched the ball he was a joy to watch, he was coming in field, creating a move down the right with Boco, picking out a pass..real top quality stuff. Ryan found feet that day, nothing major, nothing special.Quote:

He was one of the main reasons that we went out of Europe this year. If i had to count the amount of times an opposition play has sauntered by the lacklustre Ryan and ran at our defense with ease. It goes unoticed by many.Quote:

Nobody could be fit if they went on like him.
The 4-0 home loss to Derry was another example, McGrath got sacked basically after that, Ryan didnt, yet he would put in a similar performance week in week out. The most refreshing thing about that game was seeing Meehan take a lad out of it when he came out, it showed intent to battle, get stuck in while the other pair in the middle didnt need a shower after the game for lack of effort.
That's about the 5th time you've called him that in different threads...it's Meenan, not Meehan. Not hard to get his name right!Quote:

and i can assure u i know alot more about football and about sligo rovers than you
cf its obvious you rate danny highly and you tell us he is a great player. if so who would you compare him too in premiership terms...... for me he is robbie savage, no huge skill but annoys opposing players and gives 100% every game but come on ya cant even joke that technically he is a good player. his passing is average at best. for me he played his best games for us this year as centre back. in a way, the formation fingal played in the final made ryan and danny lost as they played all width with very little in the centre and the game passed the 2 sligo boys by. but going forward ryan and ventre offer very little. ryan will get his operation now and someone will eat humble pie next year as to what player returns. i have a feeling its the ryan haters who will win that one but it all remains to be seen. but there is a bit of danny worshipping from the forza crowd on here and fair enuf we all all entitled to our views same as we are entitled to think he is limited. thats the beauty of a forum and the beauty of football
What is there to understand? Knowing you wouldnt change the obvious fact that Morrision changed the cup semi final.Quote:

Do you want to test that knowledge about football? Because given the evidence presented by you so far on 'opinions', im fairly confident that your clueless.
Point been, Ventre was poor on Sunday (majority opinion which conflicts yours) and Ryan didnt make half the impact Morrision did in the semi.(as above)
If you knew, i think you would understand
go on shedzer ya rebel !!! ;) at the end of the day danny is a defender playing as a midfielder !!! a white pele........ pele played up front if im not wrong !!! so comparing him to pele cf you kinda ruin your image as knowing all bout football cos ya play with the A team. http://www.sligochampion.ie/sport/so...y-1379989.html this is from when danny signed just to show you i am right he is a defender !!! i commend you for worshipping a player so much it shows your passion for the game and for rovers but its getting a bit like a bromance cos when anyone critiizes him you jump down their throat here.
I will openly admit there was a lump in my throat and a tear being fought back, never so devastated at a match.Quote:

i dont think anyone doubts cf knows plenty about rovers and football but ya have to question his knowledge when he refers danny as the white pele, for me it would be the white djemba djemba lol.
I'd safely say CF has been on the wind up a bit in his last few posts.....at least I hope he is!
As for the "White Pele" thing, it's just a song lads. Nobody actually thinks he has the skills of Pele.
Chrisht!!:rolleyes:
just a song? naw...its the truth. he's better than pele. the lad can play!
Danny is more than a footballer. He is a financial genious, he's managed to make a career in professional football despite being unable to accurately kick a football over 3 yards.
OT posts binned.
Back on topic please.
adam
Just wondering, there used to be a time that you got a few photos on the website of various Rovers teams, match action etc. Doesn't seem to be anything at all over the last while, is there anywhere else these are posted/on view?Quote:
