since Brian Murphy left, there's been no genuine stand out performer but from what ive seen and read id agree with Cherrie with Mannus, Brush and Barry Murphy all around the same level just below. Unfortunately for Dundalk they also have the Leagues worst back-up keeper (in my experienced opinion! :) ).
Peter Cherrie
Cherrie is class...only brian murphy when with Bohs impressed me more.Mannus also right up there,not a big fan of Brush,think he is overrated
Mannus just ahead of Cherrie
i know Im biased but Aaron Shanahan is unreal for his shotstoppin.. for reference see a youtube clip of this season against Shels in tolka and you understand what I mean!
not to sure but think he had a spell with drogs (think hes from there) and played for lazio as a kid. still very young and is a great hit with the young supportersQuote:

Chewwie imo is the best. A good bit out on his own, then I'd have Brush, then maybe Mannus.
Mannus for me, Its just going on highlights from games but some of the saves he has made this season have been world class, I still dont understand why some Rovers fans are giving him a hard time
Because he makes awful awful mistakes to go with those great saves. He might be the best shot stopper but I honestly don't rate him as a keeper.Quote:

Agree that there's no stand outm like Murphy in previous years
if only Aaron could take a kick out he would be here
Peter Cherrie
Your man who kept the most clean sheets is a top keeper. He plays for whatdoyacallthem? He's the best
didnt think he was as good as whatshisname ya know him in goals for that lotQuote:

Alan Mannus is the best in the league, his erratic form of last year has gone and although occasionally reluctant to leave his line for crosses, he more than makes up for that with his all round performances.
Cherrie next, don't rate brush much. The young lad who played for bray against the Hoops pulled off some excellent saves on the night.
Peter Cherrie's form since he arrived at Dundalk 12 months ago has been outstanding. There is no obvious weekness in his game and he is right up there with former Lilywhite keepers Alan O'Neill and Richie Blackmore.
I have not seen a better all-round keeper in the league
Can only really comment on the First but Sava for Mons was very impressive and our own Aaron Shanahan has been superb of late too after a ropey start to the season.
Have to agree tho im probably biased hes been class last 2 seasons and will defo play at a higher levelQuote:

If he could get the rest of his game together then he'd be playing in the premier division. Dean Delaney is class as well, although he helped us with our equaliser in Tolka a few weeks ago.
Mannus, Cherrie and Ryan the best of a mediocre bunch
I used to rate Barry Murphy and Darren Quigley very highly in the top bracket a few years ago but not anymore, Murphy has gone backwards in the last year while Quigley has just turned into a disaster of a keeper
Ger Doherty and Dean Delaney would be my pick of the first division keepers, I haven't seen Sava in action yet so i'll try to keep an eye out for him
For the record I don't think Mannus is very good, and didn't say that earlierQuote:

Going to say mannus and rogers (suprisingly it may be). Think Rogers has had a super season for pats and has been great before. Just ropey under kenna but showning his true value now. Pats fans would no more on this obviosuly.
For me, i think Manus form Rovers has been the best i've seen this season, closely followed by Cherrie at Dundalk.
I'd also give special mention to our own Brian Kane. The young lad was thrust into first team action and although he has made the odd error, he has been exceptional for us pulling off some really good saves. Give him a few seasons and he will be one of the Leagues top keepers
For me it is Cherrie, Brush and Mannus- Brush in ahead of Mannus as he always seems to play well against us. But maybe that is because we are usually cack up front
As a Dundalk fan its a little predictable I'm going to say Cherrie, but for me he is the best in the league since Brian Murphy left. After that Mannus comes seconf for me. I don't really rate Barry Murphy at all.
Mannus or Ger Doherty for me, Doherty has only conceded 8 goals in 17 league games must be doing something right
Yep, he's playing in the bottom divisionQuote:

More to playing in nets than being a good shot stopper.
