Victor was a liability most of the time in the First Division last year. I can only imagine what the better players in the Premier Division will do against him.Quote:

And the claims that he can't pass? Well, that's just plain ignorance.
I still think he's muck. But then I find it astonishing that players like Jason McGuinness have multiple league winners medals too.
Bet him in three one on ones? Did he get to keep the match ball or something? How many did he score against Murray? Im guessing zero and probably hasnt scored against Rovers in a long time. You will be telling us next Twigg is brutal because McGuinness mad 3 tackles on him. I know we beat you handy enough the last few games but jesus thats something. I hope you have more to celeberate on Friday, maybe a corner or one or two shots on goal.Quote:

So just so I have this straight: the team at the top of the league, with the best defensive record in the league, has two of the worst centre halves in the league?
No yer takin the ****!! Best defender in the league by a mile IMOQuote:

Murray's class we badly missed him through injury for most of last season think we would have wrapped up the league earlier had he been fit...Quote:

It's almost as though he feels Dundalk fans only care about a handful of games in a season and not losing them keeps him in their good books:kissing:Quote:

Supporters recognising courage and committment and players and management acknowledging this from the crowd is the norm at Oriel Park and most grounds.
EDIT - PS: The obvious arrogance of Rovers supporters is also a strong motivator.
So thats four no's and a yes is it?
Did you actually read what I said or just cant comprehend it? Has to be the latter on re reading your first sentence. As for the rest, I'm sure everyone will agree that Fosters reaction would've been the same, in the same circumstances, against any other team in the league. :rolleyes: Hope everyone's fit on Sat week.Quote:

However, I don't think he is like this. After our tired and spiritless performance aginst Bray, I think he (and the fans) were relieved that we took a point against the champions with a team including many players carrying injuries.
It happened alright and confirmed by a Derry porter here but it was 'only' one guy. If Derry fans can accept racism in their support who am I to question them.Quote:

If you had your way its Tennis fans that should be emulated by football fans or maybe all chants should get preapproval . Stop ruining the game lads.Quote:

Yes actually he did have plenty to do. You had about 70% of the posession in the second half and tried numerous through balls through the defence, all of which were dealt with except for the one in the 92nd minute with Rovers down to 10. Murray won everything that was thrown at him both in the air and on the ground, as for his garryown in the last minute to relieve the intense pressure on his defence for a few seconds - yes I thought it was fantastic too and exactly the right thing to do at that time. Notce how you didn't highlight every other time he had the ball he sprayed a pass out from the back.Quote:
