WE beat ye 3-0. A penalty in the first minute, don't remember who took it, Derek Glynn scored two on the counter attack. Ye were robbed that day. Gary Rogers made some outstanding (and one unbelievable) saves.

now that brings back memories for me

I got the impression Ian would have liked to keep him. I'd be surprised if there's a better buy in Division One for next season. Seriously fast, hard worker, will score 20+ goals if he gets off to a good start.

No disrespect but you obviously haven't seen him week in week out because hard working is definitely not one of his things. Can be very lazy if things arent going his way. But he is lightening quick and can finish well with either foot.
He was harshly treated by Kenna and its particularly annoying after what's happened over last few days.
He works best alongside a big man (best partner at Galway was O'Flynn) and I hope he does get 20 goals next year and gets a hat trick against Pats in a cup tie.

personally i don't rate him highly at all.

fair enough he is quick but isn't intelligent enough to use it to it's full benefit. he doesn't make good runs at all and the only time he uses his pace is when the ball comes straight down the middle or if he breaks from around half way with the ball.

his game is limited and as a previous poster says he does appear lazy.

he doesn't have a great touch, no link up play and can drift out of games totally. He is very one dimensional but to his credit he is a good finisher.

Will do well in the first division but he hasn't enough quality for the premier division. Of course the fact we have very few players will mean we miss him at the moment but I don't think he will be too hard to replace.

im delighted to see that he is still highly rated by the majority of ye lads but the next question is who are we going to bring in that will play with him considering darren mckenna wont be with the club next season.

I never got the impression he was lazy but his confidence was probably low at various stages. Yes he would work well alongside a big man.

I´ve played against Derek Glynn a few times and seen him play in the Mayo league a good bit before he joined Galway. I agree with most of what you say. His lightening pace and good finishing are always going to be a threat but he is very one-dimensional. His touch, build-up play, vision and heading are all mediocre. Having said that, given space behind a defence he will run riot. Think he will score plenty if he´s not found out.

Glynn was a strange player. He scored some really good goals but was just as liable to make a mess of the situation. He was definitely a very lazy player which certainly didnt help his cause in any way. Still sorry to see him go though.
