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.

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...

So that's Salthill Devon Vs. Galway then.

Could say the same about the Mervue game.

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

**The Lilywhites** · 22/02/2009, 1:02 PM

I'm very familiar with him, that's why I asked

nice dig though

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)
