As regards us being poor? Well that was the first game that group have played and to hold a settled team like Shels to a scoreless draw was a great achievement.

We may struggle this season, but at least I can see us competing well against the bottom teams IE. Bray, Galway, possibly Sligo

And i never said you were poor last night. I said you would struggle this season, which I still believe. The performance your team put in was no more than what could be expected for a team that had been together less then a week.

The Bovril was a tad too hot and burned the tongue off some OAP, nothing too serious though thank God.

Athlone Town 0 Bohemian 1
Goal scored by Jason Byrne. Athlone coped well with Bohs in the first half and could have scored 3 while Bohs missed 2 sitters from Crowe. In the second period Athlone didn't play half as well but I put this down to all the subs Athlone introduced and Bohs deserved their goal. The pitch was very soft so I think some players held back a bit.

It is hard to read too much into a friendly, but it does build confidence if the team runs a top side close.

Wexford Youths 1 - 1 Shamrock Rovers, another good result for the Youths, looking promising for the season ahead.

Turner scored for Dundalk, not Daly, finished 1-0. Michael Collins is a nut job. He's going to be entertaining for opposition fans this season. Apart from that, nothing happened.

I always like collins as a player - really put drink driver georgie in his place in cork a few years ago. A few ports fans I know said he was past it? I know its only a friendly but did he look like he still had it in him sligoman? If he does, hes some signing for craptown!

Really hard to know Cosmo as the ref told Connor to take him off after a few minutes. He made a terrible tackle on Sean Doherty and then went over giving out to him on the ground. Would have been sent off if it was a league game and also if it wasn't Paul Deering as ref.

Sounds like the collins I know - admit it, you'd all like a tough nut like him in your team :D

Yep, a good game and Rovers probably the best of the 3 teams to visit pre-season. Less substitutions per side for this game, so it had more of a flow. The new faces are great to see. Holden, McGrath, Breen, White. I can't wait to see Sheehan.
The defence was very settled and Gavin was great up front. He is really strong on the ball. We missed one sitter in the 1st half and their keeper made a great save from close range at the end. Dodgy peno for them, but I would think that

Danny Furlong came on for the last 5 minutes, so it will be great to have him back. I hope it is not too soon after the last setback

Rovers brought some 'interesting' fans with them

Presumably because having a previously succesful football team doesn't make a town not crap...

If you aren't familiar with Danny, he is the lad who scored 4 goals in the U18 cup final (against Dundalk) and our only goal in the League Cup final. Grand player but, by the end of last season, he had played 3 years solid football without a break and developed shin splints. I was told it had flared up again in pre-season trainng and last night's 5 minutes is all he has done so far

T'wasn't meant to be a dig, I didn't know if you were familiar with the U18 setup.
Anyway, you should see what tricks he can do with a ball on our astro pitches. He is better on them than on a real pitch. He might suit Dundalk (now that's a dig) :D
