win or lose shels fans are a disgrace and I safely bet you that they will get away with the damage caused to the ground cos the FAI were afraid of them.
we were a total disgrace ourselves and didnt deserve a point at all as we let shels bully us on the pitch. mind you the first goal for shels has being proven to be offside.
I think our tactics were completely wrong and I dont fancy us in the playoffs and will get battered by Bohs in the FAI Cup. I think Neale Fenn has a lot to answer for too. his tactics baffled our fans!
Can you confirm Shams are going to stop posting crap ?Quote:

Of the Youth League team, Kearns, Dignam, Farrell, Boore, Farrugia, McDonald and Ryan were all in the squad at the start of the season. So at worst, we had two golden generations, but I don't think ThirdManRun's point that a golden generation basically covered for managerial decisions stacks up. A golden underage generation is a managerial decision in itself in terms of signing those players.
We've had lots of golden generations before, but ultimately a whole team can't jump from 19s to the Premier, which is kind of what's happened with so many players either departed or injured. The best UCD teams have always had players stay on after college - think the likes of Tony McDonnell, Alan Mahon, Alan McNally and so on, who played ten seasons - and you then introduce 2/3 new players each year. But we can't afford that any more.

There are some Cork City fans who want to see Fenn at Turners Cross :confused:
Maybe its because he was a decent player back in the day for us.
for last while since our form collapsed we have being playing three at the back which is ok against weaker sides but not the stronger ones.. in hindsight now I think its too early for us to go up. Drogheda and Shels were knocking on the door last season so I dont think Shels will have their own way yet considering these two have to meet for the final time soon!Quote:

Academic in the context of the league at this stage but finishing strongly is important.
I'm hoping we can lose no more ground between now and season end that way i can spend the winter hoping that next year will be our year. :)
A strong finish and starting next season with Jack Byrne still in the squad will give me some of that "hope" that normally kills you.
UCD lost 16 out of 20 before July 1st and 6 out of 8 since July 1 - so no change there. There may be plenty of new faces on the pitch, but the same old manager
It's hard to imagine anything other than a comprehensive win for Rovers tonight, as Waterford are on a diabolical run of form. Since the Blues defeated St Pats in early May, UCD are the only other team they have beaten in the league.Quote:

Since then Rovers have managed only 12 points from 8 games. After tonight Rovers will have another 8 league games until the end of the season
Maybe Jack Byrne is some sort of footballing Messiah, but Rovers recent record is not exactly the stuff to inspire dreams
Fair play to ye doing all that research. You must really love Rovers.
in clarification to that post it has being pointed out to me elsewhere that there was no pool table wrecked in a longford pub. apologises to any confusion and anger caused.Quote:

Thats the thing about stats, i don't care enough to go doing the reasearch but from memory ,,,,,,,,, :)Quote:

I beg to differ, 6 games in Europe for a LoI club is the stuff dreams just ask any Waterford fan and suggest that to a Dundalk fan c2012 and there would have been some fit of laughter!! The €1mil+ this year isnt too shabby for no wins and only 2 goals! Brings us damn close to breaking €10mil in prizemoney since 2014. We cant complain too much tbh ;)
Here is one from memory....
While Rovers have managed 12 points in the last 8 games, Dundalk have won 22 points
Dundalk's record is pretty sound thanks
Would have thought you'd see my refusal to fish as a positive :)Quote:
