You don't need this match for that. Both Cork and Shels are better than Galway, Drogheda and UCD. Maybe St Pat's - Bray kinda level (probably better than them most days)Quote:

I believe Derry are going to play a weakened team in the league to save players for the League Cup :oQuote:

Did Vinny Escude play today? How has he been doing with Cork?
MOTM today. First time seeing him properly, as he hasn't been getting too many starts. Started today as O'Sullivan was out. Put in a good performance too obviously.Quote:

However hes lost in a 4-4-2.
City were the better team today and deserved to win, however not by a large margin. We competed well with Pats and ccreated the better chances. They had large spells of possesion but didn't create a whole lot although Mark McNulty made one very good save in the first half and a match winning double save at the death.
Shels 1-0 Sligo HT

We were very, very lucky tonight. Poor first half. Shels scored with their first shot and we probably had had only one shot ourselves before that. Shels should have scored a second before we as they were catching us on the break a lot on the second half. I think Shels probably just got tired towards the end as once we scored we were pretty much all over them. Thought the ref was going to blow full time when Foran was making his run before he was fouled for the winner. Great free kick by Richie Ryan. Didn't think the straight red was justified. Rough tackle but thought a yellow would have been a right decision and just blow full time.
Thought it was Garry Glitter myself.Quote:

Feel a bit robbed tonight. We were at the very least deserving of extra time with that performance and to lose it at the end like that is sickening. For Dawsons red I thought the first yellow was a joke of a decision. Having said that once he was on the yellow and he made the second challenge the ref didn't have much choice but to send him off. The red for Mulhall was just the ref overreacting. A yellow would have done.
But we have some positives to take from this. We were more than a match for a strong Sligo lineup and at the same time we were able to rest a good few first team regulars and give a few fringe players a run out. At times we played some great football and looked a real threat. Bermo had one of his best games for Shels and his work rate was excellent. Mulhall came on and made life difficult for two excellent centre halves. At the end of the day the league cup isn't our main priority but it was disappointing how we dropped off when Sligo equalised. Good performance overall though.
Dawson and Mulhall will both be big losses for the Mons game :(Quote:

Strange game last night. Didn't think we were at all 3-0 worse after an hour - Derry simply took their three chances (the second was a superb goal which would have been way better had the first effort gone in), and we missed two great ones of our own. Then we had Seánie sent off, and they were clearly worth the 3-0 win after that, but didn't add any more goals. Still, only real negative from the game is that we're missing one of our better players for a big game on Friday (in Galway). Not too worried about our first team losing to Derry's reserves.
The Rodster is playing is son (Roddy Jr.), his nephew and his son-in-law tonight. Wonder if Steve Collins is there too?
And dont forget that his son-in-law's cousin is also on the bench....Rocco Reilly, we take Family club to a whole new level tonight with the Brennan brothers sitting it out!
Mons Team: Rossiter, Fallon, R Collins, P Byrne, A Byrne, Tierney, Marks, Foley, Fitzgerald, Isichei, Haran. Subs: Reilly, McKenna, Loughran, Alan Collins,
6 mins: Limerick 1-0 Monaghan United Judge
Limerick 2-0 Monaghan United Lyons Penalty
Any Shels fans know when the LC highlights will go up?
despite clicking on this thread with every update i have to say i have absolutely no idea what is going on in this tournament, who is left etc. I mean i read it but it obviously just doesnt sink in.
Only three of our first team players so Roddy looking at Fridays game, did not expect Limerick to be all out for the ea crap cup have they given up the hope of going upQuote:
