Sometimes you have to be negative to be positive! If someone plays bad they deserve to be told that they played bad and have to take the flack that comes with it.......unfortunately!

Would totally disagree. This is a young team and need the support of the fans behind them.
The manager is the one that should point out where they are playing bad and how to improve. If players don't improve then you drop them and bring in other players.

They have to take the flack from both the manager and the whoever else may be unhappy, for example: if someone felt it right to boo when the final whistle went last Saturday then those players would have to accept it and not turn around and say "ah stop sure were only young!"

Are you felling ok, these players are playing for nothing, young and learning week by week. They dont need to be told they ae playing bad they know it.
If they were getting �300 -�500 per weel like last years failures I say yes boo them, but last year I did not hear any of that and they got paid over and above so why start with this team.
Is it because DH if so take it out on him,, but you then have to think why is it he have not got some of last years player excluding micky .. why because they are not getting paid to play for Cobh.
As I said be positive and it will be passed on to the player and they will inprove. be negitive and they will feel it on the pitch and start making mistakes.

You should never boo them, not a hope, but with regards to them accepting critism i totally agree, we get guff in the aul, the ladies team get guff, their going to get guff, they just have to accept it, saying that i didnt hear anybody getting grief the weekend.

These young players should be treated with the respect they deserve.
Without these players we would have no team. Remember they have played two and sometimes three matches in recent weeks and kept the Cobh Ramblers club in the League. Their talent should be nourished and that means the supporters and the team management need to have a lot of patience.

The best thing we the supporters can do is to back them through thick and thin.
With these players the clubs future will be secure. That's if we can keep them.
So our motto should be steady as she goes.

It is totally unfair to criticise these young players, I actually think it is quite insulting. These young players have been fast tracked to play at senior level because of the mismanagement of this club over the past year. They have given 100% in every game, they have been playing football since last July without a break. They travel to matches without any of the trimmings that was given to the team for the past number of years. In my humble opinion these young players are heroes, without them there is NO doubt but this club would NOT have been in a position to fullfill any of the 'A' League fixtures thereby leaving the club in a most embarrassing position of NOT being able to field a team. I spoke with Dave Hill before I went away and assured him that these players would not leave him down and they have not. I am sure that DH is also very proud of them and can see the potential that is there and hopefully he will supplement what is there with a couple of experienced players to guide them. What is for sure is that the talent is there and because the club is now on its uppers the only way forward is to develope young local players with a few experienced heads. There is no quick fix to this problem, there is definately no fairy godmother who will bail the club out.

Eddie for gaffer!!!

**ramblers** · 28/05/2009, 7:33 PM

I agree with Eddie on this one these are young lads who deserve our support they are learning the game and as I have said I see an improvement in them every game. People need to be patient and encourage them as if they leave we will have no football.

**Ram72** · 29/05/2009, 1:15 AM

These lads are the future of our club and they deserve the full support of the fans, not criticism.
With the right mix of experience added to this team, we have the makings of a team that will do our club proud and will achieve what we all want and that is a return to premier league football in a few years.
After watching this team play I am alot more optimistic about the future then I was a few months ago.
