QuotePitch was bobbly, their keeper was awful, we got more comfortable as the game went on (and particularly after we went 2-0 up). Nice set up. Athlone away next.
On Twitter, Schumi describes it as,
Team: Brennan, Kelly, Nangle, Hardy, Leahy, Dineen, Ward, Bolger, Purcell, Graham Rusk, McMahon.Comfortable enough win. Tullamore looked reasonable enough but never really looked threatening. No subs made interestingly.
Unused Subs: Mulhall, Shortall, Gavin Falconer, Brian Connaghton, Cian Byrne
Goals from McMahon and Purcell.

Decent performance. Always looked comfortable so I don't think we got to see the best of what those players could offer. Leahy and Dineen impressed me in particular- Leahy cleaned up everything at the back and Dineen seems like the type of CM who will impose himself on the game- strong in the tackle, always looking for the ball and never gave the ball away as far as I remember. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the first team.
Did Tullamore have a shot on target? That guy announcing the score from the Chelsea-Liverpool game surely distracted the players. Thought the ref might have had a word to say about that in a report.
'And Crouch must score'
Don't think so in the end. Couple of dangerous looking crosses headed wide was about it.
Whatever about the goals, calling the score out as 0-0 after 12 minutes was a bit much, even if there was someone down injured at the time!
Did the exact same thing when we were there in pre-season.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
