St.John's 1-5 Sligo Rovers

Bellew scored two, Curran scored a good one and McCartney too, not sure who got the final touch on the other one. Chris Turner came on at the start of half time and got sent off about 25mins later:D. Conor O'Grady got booked aswell, he really needs to calm his temper down a bit. Sean Flannery came off injured(he doesn't look anyway near full fitness yet). Keith Foy does need to lose weight but he didn't seem as bad as I was expecting, strong tackler and good at long range shots, aswell as free-kicks.

I wasn't happy with our overall performance to be honest. I know we hadn't our full team out but we will need to improve on this for the Galway and Harps friendlies and, more importantly, for the Longford game:o.

These all played at some point in the game:

O'Hara, McNamara, Peers, McCartney, Flannery, Bellew, Faz, Creane, O'Grady, Raf, Foy, Curran, Sean Kelly, James Keaney & Chris Turner. I'm missing a few, some of which I don't know who they were, trialists or underage players I presume.

Hutch was playing for them:D.

EDIT: Brian McMorrow was playing with St.John's. Does this mean that he's left Rovers under 21's? Or can he play with both:confused:. He's a player with great potential and I wouldn't like to see him leave.

Yes, definitely him. I know him from my old school, no mistake. He only played about 10 mins maximum. Didn't do much and didn't look very impressive.

He's with our u-18's as far as I know, or he used to be anyway. He also has an Ireland u-15's(I think?) cap. I agree though, he is sh!te. Might improve in time though.

On the bench, yes. I don't think he's good enough to be put in the starting line-up just yet.

no not yet,but he should be in the squad....would be a ggod man to bring on if we are winning and Flannerys work rate drops.Also He's a goal machine.

I was impressed with Gary Curran today. He took his goal very well and worked well all game. I think he'll make a big break-through this season, definitely one to watch:).

such a g*mp deering is. made o'grady change his socks b4 da game&when turner was sent off he wouldn't let him sit on da bench. foy's lost a good bitta weight since st.catherine's game&played far better too, although he'll still be overweight by start of season i think he'll be alright too play. thankfully o'grady had to go back to work at half time or he wuda killed deering, unbelievable that he can motivate himself like dat on his lunch hour. gary curran played good alrite, defo deserved his goal for the gifted bit of play before it. turner seems like a f*ckin looper. surprised there wasn't more at the game
