Haven't seen any friendlies this year and have struggled to keep with all of the ins and outs.
Whats our first XI ?
DB Cooper is alive !
The Bray game is the only game I've gotten a line up for so far -
Barron, Harding, Timmons, Connaughton, Doyle, Bolger, Ward, Finn, Kilduff, Mulhall, Reilly. Subs Brennan, Nangle, Kelly, O'Connor, Daly
The McMillans were missing, along with anyone else who was at the Collingwood.
(Haven't actually been to any game, just basing this mainly on our line-ups to date)
Ger Barron looks likely to be our no.1 this season. Sean Harding seems to have secured the right back slot.
Centre mid looks very good. Finn and Bolger will be two of the best in the division. Neither are defensive minded players though, which could be a problem.
Keith Ward and John Reilly have been starting on the wings. Never seen Ward play but Reilly should be pretty decent for the First Division.
Kilduff and Mulhall upfront. Mulhall was a very promising youngster before injuries stopped his progress. Former Ireland U18 international. Kilduff did alright enough last season in the First.
Pretty clueless about the rest but McMillan has to start and has to be captain as far as I'm concerned. Is Timmons a full back or centre back?
Barron
Harding McMillan AN OTHER AN OTHER
Ward Bolger Finn Reilly
Mulhall Kilduff
That's a good surmation. I think Billy Brennan will get in ahead of Ger. And the two McMillans (David and Evan) will spend some time on the pitch together.Originally Posted by DmanDmythDledge
I cant remember James Timmons best position. It could be left wing for all I know. He was left-back v. Galway.
I dont know the position with Niall Daly who played v. Bray.
Is he still with the Intermediates?
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Interesting. I'd heard the opposite. Nice to have some healthy competition there.
You're right they are similar in experience and talent.
Where did you hear Ger was ahead of Billy?
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Pineapple Stu recounted it to me as the personal opinion of one of the club officials, I think. I won't name the official in public in case Billy were to hear of it and take offense.
That's a decent looking team actually. I'd imagine Dave McMillan would be near enough too.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
What do you base that on? Ger's started the friendlies I have line ups for anyway. I think Ger v Billy will be a bit like Quigley v Gally.
Imagine Fitz in non-headless chicken mode. Was man of the match in the A League final.
Do the lineups include the St. Pats game which you posted several times on the World Wide Web was cancelled.
I base it simply on Billy Brennan was chosen ahead of Ger Barron for last year's A Championship win by Sommers (the UCD A Championship manager and not Martin Russell as the UCD website has it). I know Ger got a run out during the Limerick game at Belfield.
In the two Friendlies I have seen, both played 45 minutes and Ger conceded three goals and Billy didn't concede any. (If you want comparisons like).
It isn't my decision.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Is Alan Mahon gone?
Retired apparently.
you can add Brian Shortall to the first XI. (Or not, depending on your personal opinion of him!) Think him and Evan would be a good First Division centre half pairing though. We have 28 players signed for the new season, which also more or less confirms our A team too.

one to watch: John Dineen
Going to predict that he'll break into the first team by the end of the season!
I see a 2 page special in STIG - the man the legend
