Saints 5 - 2 Borris

Travelled up to Cooke Park last nite to have a look at Borris and Saints. I should have stayed at home really I'm sure there was better things on TV. Judging by the scoreline it looked like Saints were impressive, but that was not the case. Saints don't look a threat at all. Davy Ryan was missing, O'Sullivan not in goal, they had the Youth Keeper in goals and it showed as well. The ususal scorers, Breen, Walsh and Bargary..etc..etc... Borris were poor to say the least, can't see them anywhere near the top or mid table if they keep going the way they are. They seem to have a full squad out but still of no use to them.

On the other side of things......€5 was the cost to get into the game, a mid-week game, 2nd game in the league...WHAT A JOKE ! I know inflation has hit the country...but that was a f**king joke. Everyone I talked to was very angry with the €5 fee to see the game. Who are Saints trying to kid !! I'll be thinking twice before I head to Cooke Park again.

Think you highlighted your limited knowledge of football in the above paragraphs..saints were 5-0 up with 5 to go playing with 4 youths from last year and one youth from this year.. they beat a team that the " beloved peake" only beat 1 nil.. and old brigge beat 2-1..borris were poor cause they were out fought out played and out witted...credit where credit is due.. if borris sorted their defense they are not bad going forward..ken Ryan james scott Danny graham will cause trouble for any team.. lots of people on the website seem to have an allegiance to peake.. look lads leopards never change their spots.... come the winter months it will be back to 3-4 players training to qoute " the usual suspects" and the temptation of the saturday night gargle..Barry ryan should join an atheletics club cause thats all he is good at...running..Im sure the clonmel crew minus the peake blinkers will agree..in all my time watching him play against michaels i can remember him scoring 2 goals..a peno in peake about 2 years ago and a goal last year in cooke park which was a back pass hit straight to him.. its great to see peake getting things sorted..but lets not try to sprint before we can jog... its only good for the league that peake celtic cahir are challenging..thats what the league needs... as for saints playing at home all the time.. their games in august will be at home and their games in september will be away so it will balance out..this is to facilitate an amateur International being held there between Ireland and England on 30th september...not ideal i know but this is how the powers that be have decided to run with this..

I appreciate your comments but I beg to differ about the “limited knowledge of football”. You seem to be putting me across as a “Peake” man, which is certainly not the case . I'm sure you wouldn't like if I called you a TOWN man !!! If you read my previous posts over the years you might get the gist that I am not a Peake man and I’m in total agreement with your statements on Barry Ryan and also that the teams like peake, celtic and cahir are getting things sorted and can only be good for the league. It will hopefully bring the days of a “two horse race” in the TSDL to an end.

Credit where credit is due for Saints, I don’t disagree. They were obviously the better side on the night, but what I was saying is that they weren’t a shadow of their former selves, but on the flip side, it’s early in the season and they probably have a few players to get back, Davy Ryan and Kevin O’Sullivan. Tobin is a good signing for them this year again. Tobin, Walsh, Breen, Cremmins, a good back four if they could find a replacement for Cremmins, my own opinion is that he has had his day. But on the Borris side of things, they are still lacking 4/5 players to make a good team. James Scott is their best player, but is hounded with injuries year in year out, and again last night had to retire from the game with injury. Danny Graham is strong, but lacks speed and always had. Ken Ryan didn’t do much last night after he came into the game so at the moment, going forward, they don’t impress at all.

fair comments..apoligise if i offended calling you a peake man...higgins will slot in fore cremins so defense will be strong but conceding silly goals at mo will struggle against better teams like town or peake if that continues

All due respect here Tipp Man, in relation to your comment on the villa v borris game, villa were playing away for starters and derby games are always tight especially first game of the season, but your forgetting that bansha v michaels game which is also a derby, was won 5-1 by michaels,who were at home and i heard on the grape vine bansha only arrived with 9 players and took a 1-0 lead which is a joke! Any team that arrives to the villas home pitch on sunday afternoon with 9 players will get a hammering im sure regardless of who they are!! Theres no excuse when you have 2 extra players!

No problem at all...I do agree that higgins will slot in for cremins and that will make a excellant back four for saints. Silly goals are conceded, but when Sully is back things will change for the better. Their defence is hard to break down, Saints they have the height for the aerial battles and also the skill for the ground work..

At the end of the day Black Jack, be it 11 or 9 players, 3 points are the only thing that any team need at the start of the season when all teams are starting out and not fully fit etc regardless of hammering them or winning 1-0...

Anybody know if points are awarded to the teams who's games were called off against St. Nich's for not fielding at team ?

[Den Perry]

Anyone know whats happened with the old villa players from last years team?? Since alot of new faces have arrived in the team, anyone know where the likes of horan,mackey,mikie ryan have gone???? They were decent players.......Anyone???

mike ryan still with villa,just returning from injury. st.nicholas are a disgrace and should be relegated straight away with one of last years relegated teams reinstated. their attitude has no place in the premier. anybody have the result from cahirs game last night

[Den Perry]

everybody is talking about him and hes taking some flak but is barry ryan the best striker in the league? he puts moroney,o connor,coady,graham and the rest in the shade

After going un-beaten last year in the league 16 from 16....does anybody else in the league want any improvements from them....Would any more improvement be too much ?? They drew with Celtic already so the 16 from 16 is gone out the window !!

Is Villa Man Barry Ryan in disguise????????????????

[Van The Man]

Is Villa Man Barry Ryan in disguise????????????????

I'm thinking the same myself.....If it is we will be hearing alot more of ME, I, etc......

"new club captain Barry Ryan looked very sharp"
"Barry has been top scorer for villa for the last 5 seasons"
"he has proved it over the years!his sharpness and touch are coming back to him.If i was a betting man (which im not) i wud put a few quid on him for the golden boot"

These sort of statements would hardly give it away !!!!

But rest assured, he'll hardly admit it !!!

Yes im starting to believe that Villa Man is Barry Ryan, theres a lot of self praise goin on there and that would be barry ryan all over!!! Get over yourself man, barry ryan isnt the barry of old and he isnt getting any younger, what is he now 26 or 27! Hes carrying his leg which he had an op on yrs ago and its quite visible during games! I hear someone say he is captain, i wouldnt be relying on that to keep him in the team, if villa are short strikers, he could be lucky, but surely theve sum younger, fitter players who can slot in up front if needs be?? Have villa only 3 strikers??
