One header from a corner I think. The odd long shot. Can't remember any chances you had. We could've been 3/4 up after 20 minutes and then just stopped. 2nd half we had the odd chance (Dessie Byrne hit crossbar) but overall a poor game. Without leaving 2nd gear we were always in controlQuote:

all in all im not to dissapointed as i think we aquited ourself well, played some very good football, and i would think on another day we could have taken something from the game,
also i would like to say that the pats officals were very welcoming, E15 in, a free program, and 3 free bottles of lucozade, and we were also behind the goals with the wind blowing in our faces, and one of the stewarts allowed us into the main stand out of the cold, cheers lads
pats looked very good, especially in first 10 minutes. but they did have to clear off the line at the end.
From the txts I got during the game they accumalated to Ramblers having 14 chances
LOL :DQuote:

Ramblers played well they fought hard and on the 2nd half performence deserved a point IMO. They got caught ball watching for the goal alright but the defence steadied up after that.
Barrett was taken off at half-time because he couldn't handle Keith Fahey who is absolutely class he's the best player in the eircom league by a mile. John Kearney came on for Barrett and in fairness he did a good job holding the midfield.
Kenny Coleman created a lot from his right-back position and almost scored twice and he was probably Rams best player on the night. Alan Kearney played very well again as did Bilko who finally put in a good away performence.
Like Don Ramo, I found the pats officals were very welcoming, €10 in, a free program, and 3 free bottles of lucozade and the stewards allowed us into the main stand out of the cold.
Also it's great to see the mullet haircut is alive among the youth of Inchicore.:D There tough little feckers aswell, one fella who was no more than 14 years old dropped a steward with one punch:eek:

Most match reports differ from that though. Maybe Pats weren't in top gear but Cobh were in with a shout and had a good few chances by all accounts. Home fans in the stadium of light must have had the sun in their eyes it seems.Quote:

What about the one that was cleared off the line? You tellin me you didn't think that was in?Quote:

Should've been easily dealt with by Ryan, was dealt with by Partridge
ya we had 5 shots at least on target, 3 cleared off the line, fair enough they werent treatening shots but they were on target, you keeper did have to come to save them,Quote:

im quiet happy with our performance last night, maybe pats are used to the higher tempo of being at the top of the table, so therfore thought of it as a poor game,
Might've been a bit harsh on the game in fairness. We were certainly poorer than usual. And I judge most things on that.Quote:

Good report,have to add that overall we had a lot more goalmouth incidents and for most of the match it was hard to tell who was fulltime pros or playing at home. Inded Pats fans started to vote on their teams performance with their feet with a fair few leaving with 5-10 minutes to go.The general consensus was that Linfield took a lot out of them but saying that we have stopped a lot of teams in their tracks to date and add Pats to that list as well,Looking forward to UCD as I know they do what we do to teams but hopefully we will win out on the night in fortress St Colmans. Well done lads against Pats...battling performance and ye will def get the results down the line if ye continue to play like that.Quote:
