Let me guess - 80% to the FAI and 10% each to the clubs.Quote:

Ah sure there’s u20 rugby to show, why would Irish people want to watch sawker , unless it’s epl of course.Quote:

Good to be back!
Always think when we play Rovers, Derry and in Europe that we look miles off it physically and tonight didn't quell those fears for this go around. As much as some are lovely players all of Forrester, Mulraney, Kavanagh, Leavy, Nolan, McClelland, Bolger and probably one or two more are either both or one of slow or weak as **** and it really showed.
Not too disheartened though given it's a glorified friendly and I think Rovers will walk it anyway. Have an inkling that a team set up around a back three of Turner-Redmond-Keeley may end up being what Pats settle on sooner or later.
Jeez watching the match back on loitv pats keeper horrendous for two of the goals especially the second, absolute howler. Keepers thrive on confidence and we've had enough troubles of our own at rovers to know it in yhe past. Pats will really struggle if he doesn't improve on that performance
Actually clarkes second the third goal on the night was the real howler
Was at the other end of the ground and I thought it had gone through his legs. No doubt we were very much second best on the night. Write it off and move on.Quote:

Noonan was excellent and I've been watching him sin e he was in Damien duffs under 15s side, he could be the stand out player for us this year.

There's been plenty of talk that St Pat's,along with Derry will be the ones to take Rovers on in a league challenge- If last night is anything to go by, those hoping for anyone but Rovers better hope that Hoban stays fit long enough to keep derry up there-Unless I'm mistaken,that was fairly close to a pats starting 11 against a mixture of Rovers starters and young guns,and there was only 1 winner.
Good crowd in, and the new stand with people in it gives the ground a completed look.
The real fun start's next week.
I’d agree with that, the first half had nothing in it really. Rovers were probably slightly better but neither side created any proper chances. The 5 changes rovers made at half time were game changers in terms of fresh legs and obviously playing ability. Some of the pats players looked dead on their feet after about an hour. With 12 subs being made in the game it was hard to gauge a lot from it but the one thing it did point out to me was the serious squad depth at rovers. The squad depth is incomparable to anyone else in the league and that’s without Lopes, Byrne or Burke even on the bench. I reckon they’ll have to be majorly off song for at least 15 of the 36 games this season if anyone is to have a chance of catching them and I personally can’t see that happeningQuote:

He'd probably do a good job of replacing some of what Afolabi offered Bohs though.Quote:

Pats looked well off the pace for most of the night although they did create a few chances against our somewhat makeshift right sided defence in the second half. Wingback still looks like an issue for us if Clarke and Farrugia aren't on the field. Clarke ran amok last night while he was on.
Stadium looks the business. Pats crowd was excellent. Hope we are able to give them the entire East Stand this season. Better chance of filling the stadium and the atmosphere would be great.
Decent record in PL2 7 goals 5 assists in 9 games. So there is something there and he's 21 or 22 so could just need some fine tuning. If he won one of the penos, hit the bar then he at least had an impact on the game and I'll take that from a forward especially since Bohs are very light up front at the minute.Quote:

Difficult to put stock in pre season games, we looked well organised which is more than can be said for the clown we had in charge last season....
That's fair, should have specified at senior level! Was part of a very talented Villa U23s that also had the likes of his brother, Aaron Ramsey, Jaden Philogene, Tim Iroegbunam and others who'll go on to have big careers. Stood out physically in those games but when that levelled out in men's football hasn't shown the quality so far, but the LOI isn't that kind of league so could see him really being a nuisance here.Quote:

Munster Senior Cup semi tonight - Tommy Barrett has already indicated that Treaty's line-up will be distinctly more youthful than Friday's, but while there may be some Kerry rotation, it'll likely be a reasonably strong XI as the Kingdom endeavour to reach the provincial final.
Leinster Senior Cup QF draw:
Drogheda v Athlone
Bray v Pats
St Mochtas v Dundalk
Maynooth v shels
All scheduled for a fortnight from today.
Kerry leading with a strong team tonight in comparison to Treaty.
4-1 win for Kerry - Seán McGrath with a brace, along with Ronan Teahan's first senior goal, and Daniel Okwute. The other semi between Waterford and Rockmount will be on the 18th.
The Bohs womens team will play the Palestine side in May: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2024...alymount-park/
