David O'Connor's blog on the Indian trip is very good :) http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/la...-doc-s-diary-3
Not exactly a Saipan level civil war, but tensions can get high when curly wurlys are at stake.Quote:

Another morale boosting game for Waterford tonight. Restricted Dundalk to just the 8 goals and scored one.
Is this in or around what waterford have for the season then? Aware there was a couple of trialists but looks bleak
For their sake, I hope they were missing a lot of their first team.Quote:

All part of the plan and Roddy's mind games. Get hammered preseason on purpose to be underestimated when the league starts.Quote:

Cork game was a friendly also. Both Cork and Waterford were knocked out of the MSC.
Rovers 2 1860 2 at half-time. 2 penalties for Munich, a penalty for McCabe and a North volley.
Full Tiime : Shamrock Rovers 3 1860 Munich 2. Gavin Brennan with the winner.
Good result for Rovers. League favourites tag on its way!
Fair play to Rovers. Good result against a decent side.
Oh god no. It was barely the equivalent of a 4-0 win over Waterford, so we're still way behind Cork and Dundalk in the bookies.Quote:

Sligo kids beaten by Liverpool kids tonight.
I was impressed with Drogheda in their friendly with Cork. They have a decent side and their shape is very good. It was obvious Peter Mahon and Giller are doing things right.
It was harder to judge Cork. I was expecting a fitter and stronger side. They don't look like they've stepped up their s&c at all. A few of the lads looked to carrying a little bit weight as well.
Not at all yiz are more than welcome to the favourites tag - either way you are favourites every season with some pundits even when mathematically impossible to win the league:pQuote:

We had red carpet and a marching band organised for the Markts Field but it was put on hold when moved to UL. The club hoping to do it if we get them in the Cup.
Good to see Rafter scoring in his first appearance.Quote:
