media spin from galway

**gael353** · 23/07/2009, 6:19 PM

anyone here getting sick to the teeth of the spin comming from Galway? i know clubs are in trouble but articles about the "scouts wathing J O'Shea" are ten too many right now. Gaway 0 Dundalk 3....upto four scouts were in the crowd watching JOS.....Galway 0 someone 4....Former Man u great and now scout for someone gordon mcqueen was in the crowd watching JOS ....

and when the article about jos is over a mere mention of the game.

Ive seen him twice this year and hes been ****!
best of luck to galway in trying to whore him off for a bit of money but spare us the crap spin in all the papers

Spin? since when did Galway United start writing articles for newspapers, I haven't seen one press release from United that has mentioned scouts. If reporters want to tell people who was in the crowd at a game they can.
It's common knowledge that O'Shea has been watched by a large number of scouts. I dont think Nick Leeson is making it up!

There has been scouts at most games.Its fact-not fiction.Theres also 10 different rumours going around about where hes going.Boro getting him for 70k.If we had sold him to Derby last January we would have got 200k but Paul Jewel got sacked and the deal fell through.ITS NOT SPIN!!!!

I've always found it mad, I think there are better players at Galway, although I dont see him week in week out anymore.

I heard extra seating is being installed in Terryland for the next home game to accommodate the scouts coming to watch Jay.

**Mr Maroon** · 23/07/2009, 7:29 PM

He's massively overrated IMO.

ehhh excuse me? you are aware of your chairman who wrote ALL the articles for your club for the last number of years and im guessing still does.

its obvious what your club is doing, touting JOS to whoever and saying "look what the papers are saying about him"

and yes there maybe scouts at the games as there are at many other clubs games but stories about the scouts are pathetic and are only comming from one club.

John Fallon has not reported on Galway United in years, he does a small column in a little read free paper. He rarely writes about United and as of last season has nothing to do with the club.
As for O'Shea there probably wont be too much more speculation, Pat Scully was in Terryland last week, I'd imagine Jay will be a Limerick ____( Insert this year's club name here) player any day now!

Won't complain if that happens, at least the ground will be full!

**Mr A** · 23/07/2009, 10:04 PM

Spin from Galway United? The general line from the club is that if this takeover doesn't happen they're screwed- not quite the master propagandists of old!

Fallon doesnt write about GUFC at all. Also, he is NOT our chairman

. These reports are only in our local newspapers so Im guessing that your actually going out to find them and read them yourself as to us fans posting them here none stop? ACTUALLY, can you show me on this forum (bar the GUFC section) where all this posting about scouts is ?

I've seen O'Shea a couple of times this season and he hasn't impressed me one bit. IMHO he needs to work harder and do a little less show-boating. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if nobody is interested in him.

**eamo1** · 24/07/2009, 10:36 AM

He is overrated,hes so lazy,wont tackle(in case he breaks a nail),wont track back and is afraid to shoot on sight.That said though he CAN dribble and CAN pop one in the top corner from 30yards when he could be bothered.He's also good for getting "a man over" as 2 players frequently come to close him down and he gives the ball a fancy little flick and takes the 2 players out of the game giving us an extra man.We rarely take advantage of it though.He is NOT a premier league player,or a Championship player for that matter.We still should have got 200k for him though
