It’s Hennessy mate, the clown ruins every game he is involved in. I agree our peno was soft too but the Dundalk lad throwing out a leg gives the ref a chance to point at the spot, and when it’s Rob ……Quote:

Has anyone else noticed at final whistle of games any crafty people with a big black plastic bag frantically hunting and hoovering up discarded plastic bottles with Re-Turn logos? I saw some fella up to this at Tolka after the final whistle on Friday :D
Markey is an absolute class act who'd walk into any team in the league if he wanted to go full time.Quote:

He's undoubtedly a good player but to state an attacking player that averages 1 goal a season could walk into any team in the league is OTTQuote:

Markey likewise is great t watch and tbh I think his role is greater than goals and assists, he retains possession, is a pain to mark so creates space elsewhere if he isnt waltzing out of a double up himself, draws fouls. In an odd way we have come full cycle (football in general) in terms of tactics, from big and physical to embracing skill and back to rigid structure albeit trying to move the ball quickly to break a high press, its like a post Messi era where he'd be dropped for drifting to find space rather than being part of unit press.
I’d agree that stats aren’t the be all and end all to an extent and that he does bring other positive aspects to his team but the numbers of goals and assists we’re talking about with Markey are absolutely tiny for a player in his position. Consistent end product is the only thing missing from his game and is probably the reason the likes of shamrock rovers or a decent level club across the water have never came in with an offer
Not sure what this is referring to? We just generally fly under the radar I think, whether we're playing well or not over the past few seasons all of Rovers, Duff's Shels, Bohs, Derry and Dundalk for differing reasons just get more attention than we do.Quote:

Still no word on KO time at Finn Park on Friday, 4 days out.
I imagine it will be a 6pm KO like last time Shearer surely?Quote:

Madness to play early on a Friday.
There's another game on Monday, so maybe two games in three days is a bit unfair (on both teams)?
It's hoped to be 7:45pm on Friday.Quote:

Possibly, but I think the lad sent off was very hard done by, looked like a dive from where I was sitting, but overall they were poor, if you count the amazing saves the Drogs keeper made it could have been 8Quote:

He made about as much contact with him as I did from my house in Donegal.Quote:
