i thought he was playing rock, paper, scissors with himself, lost his bearings due to the massive impact this had on his brain and just meandered onto the pitch.Quote:

Nice footage there. Derry look to be very good.
Dont worry no one at tallaght will recognise him so you wont need a pretend ban. yet again hilarious how anyone commenting about shams has "small man syndrome" yet they feel free to wax lyrical about everyone else:rolleyes: .Quote:

As ever, seeing shams trying to defend/justify the vermin (pitch invader) they bring to matches reminds everyone else what their club is about. No doubt the inevitable fines for pitch invasion, fireworks, flares etc will soon see them back in 4% territory :o.
Saw that Bohs goalscorer headed off at full time to work in a city centre bar, no doubt the graduate of the Tallaght adult learning class will be writing a letter to the FAI.
Bohs fans invaded the pitch too for what its worth. Why do you think Gary Twigg was the ONLY player out injured? Chris Turner, Stephen O'Donnell and Craig Sives were all out, the first two definitely would have started, Sives has been our best defender over the last two seasons.
Jicked, both teams had players out (Bohs undoubtadly more impacted than shams given our smaller squad). PC was the one that raised the twigglet absence (see post I quoted) and I was pointing out that he was far from the only absence (as you just confirmed).Quote:

Bohs battled hard without creating much, playing one striker (due to injury !!!!!!:rolleyes:) meant we didnt have many chances.
Still haven't gotten over the game on Friday but just about ready to post about it, UCD deserved their point and maybe even a win, Dominated the second half once Mulcahy went off injured, They didn't create too much but had control of the game, Some really tidy players on their books especially their number 6 and number 10 (sorry don't know their names), Once again our lack of a proven goalscorer cost us, Danny North missed a sitter just before the UCD equliser that would have wrapped up the game
Now to the Brandywell on Friday, Oh God it gets worse, Its going to be a long season
Corry was 6; he was subbed off - was ineffective enough on Friday, though is probably our best player.
10 was Dean Marshall. Let the Sligo abuse begin on that one! :p
And to keep up the theme of the betting thread, there's no way we deserved a win. Ye had about four open goals and what I thought was a clear cut penalty. We had I think four efforts on target in the entire game, of which two anyway were very tame.
Bit surprised to see Davey Mac dropped instead of North/other fella. Reckon he'd have scored at least one of those chances. But then I'm biased obviously.

Rovers were blessed to get a point out Dalymount, which when you think about the on-paper quality of their line up, is a scandal.
Very poor alright. Think he had a wobble with is team selection. Got a bit anxious bless him. This rovers team will win the title though, as they should with the players they have. But it will be won despite him. If they don't win that league by a double digit margin, O'Neill should be shot.Quote:

Thats just pathetic. And no, a limp wave of the hand as you walk away doesn't suffice. Would that suffice if you did the same to some kid on the road outside your house? Classless.

HD Highlights of Shels v Monaghan, including a post-match interview with everyone's favourite former MNS pundit.
http://vimeo.com/22515573
There was enough highlights in that one game to fill an entire MNS show! Mons could have been clear first half - 2nd half well how Shels didnt equalise or win? I am very very glad we are not still trying to get out of that Division, Thank you Mr Scanlon!!!
he was very adept at that when he was at sligo the first time.Quote:

MON went there for a point, and got it. We also scored our first goal there in 3 years, and stayed top of the table.Quote:

i suppose ill be a little clearer, I dont think any manager of the champions should ever play for a point. The "best team in the league" should always play to win.
It looked so promising at the start of the year. Certainly that ye where going to be a big tough physical team that would be hard to beat. Didn't see those results coming for ye I must say. A few on here where saying the current team where better than the one that got ye promoted. It doesn't look like it at the moment but I'm sure it will be sorted up there and ye will start to pick up a few points.Quote:

The league is decided over 36 games. We can't win them all. So it's important that the ones you don't win, you don't lose either. With MON's tactics, we won't lose very many.Quote:

However midway through the second half he took Rice (defensive midfielder) off and replaced him with McCabe (attacking midfielder) in an effort to WIN the game, therefore your theory that he was playing for a point is incorrect.Quote:

McCabe came on 10 minutes before Bohs scored so bringing him on was an effort to win the game rather than salvage a point.Quote:

I thought Finn in particular found it difficult to get into the game. I'd have had McCabe on from the start instead of McCormack anyway but I suppose I was proven wrong on that.
Fair point.Quote:
