Apparently the last few days have seen them sign a couple of very good players. A bit of a mix of Premier and First Division blended with a few LSL players and their own players already signed with the club. Apparently, what I've been told, a bit of a running ex-Bray theme going on.Quote:

Bray 1-0 Waterford
Athlone's 0-0 looks impressive against a strong Rovers side. Expecting the latter to disappoint again this season.
Athlone looked good but sort of ridiculous to judge Rovers on half the team getting a gentle run-out.
Aye, I'd like to retract that last bit of the statement please.
Rovers should have won it comfortably by three or four goals.Quote:

Rovers had the better chances but i dont think tou are giving us enough credit DRDoc. I thought we done very well considering the 2 squads. As did a few Rovers fans we were sitting with. Im quite happy with our 2 games so far.
I dunno about Rovers winning comfortably. They should have won but Athlone will be encouraged by their display. Rovers could lack a cutting edge in attack this season again but Fahy looks to have added some creativity. Drennan didnt look great last night but just played a half and maybe just looking to get match sharpness.
Not a Rovers fan, not an Athlone fan, that is just the way I saw itQuote:

Finn Harps v Sligo Rovers 21st Feb.
What happened to Gorman last night. According to Extra Time updates, he came on at HT but went off again in the 65th?
EDIT: Nevermind, their report says Gorman wasn't replaced.
Ramblers beat Galway 4-3 in fota. Galway tagged on two late goals. Good way to pass the afternoon.Fine pitches out there.

Avondale beat us in the Munster cup yesterday 1-0. We more or less had the under 19s playing as just 7 first team players were in the squad. Awful game Avondale deserved the win.
