thanks sligobrewer.. interesting he's gone for Ryan and Ventre in midfield
One up, Pele header
"he tries his best.... but I was a proper player".
2 up, Doyle. Half time
"he tries his best.... but I was a proper player".
3 up, Amond
"he tries his best.... but I was a proper player".
3-0 full time, could have had a few more. More of the same next week please.
two great goals by amond and doyle- good performance. 3 goals disallowed- 2 very harshly and we had a clear penalty not given.
Cliftonville very poor but they brought a good crowd.
Some lovely link play between ryan dillon doyle amond and blinks.
almeida was off the pace and i am not sure keane is the answer at left back
good start to the season, how did the new signings get on.. was there many at it?
whelan was ok i thought , dillon and amond were very good . doninger was not on long enough.
i would estimate crowd of 1400-1500
Well done Sligo Brewer,better service than any other media to night.
Would not read too much into performances tonight, lot of guys playing their first match together. Great result whatever the opposition and a mouthwatering prelude to the visits of Shamrock as the manager calles them.
A great way to kick start the season.the Amond-Blinkhorn partnership looks very promising, as did dillon. Ryan and doyle were great for creating plenty of chances. Almeida didnt have a whole lot to do but was fairly solid when needed, but would be a bit rusty yet. Hopefully more of the same next week.
Coleman for Ireland
Potential is the one word I would use to sum up tonights performance. I don't know a great deal about Cliftonville, but the team we played tonight were weak, so we can't read too much into the result. As for the new boys:
Whelan: Decent game, looked to get forward, tall and lanky, better to judge him when he plays more games
Dillion: Has a few tricks and looks to create, seems a litle light-wight but worth keeping an eye on him
Amond: Full of running, could have scored more than one.....might even be worth a punt as being top goalscorer in the league
Donninger: Likes to get into the box, in fact he was raging with Amond for nicking a chance from him - Some should tell him where the tunnel and dressing rooms are, as he was heading in the wrong direction at the end of the game!
Doyles goal was one hell of a well worked goal and Amond's touch to Blinky and finish was super
"Overwhelmed"
Spot on there Showgies..u saved me typing more or less the same thing...our 2nd goal was class as was Blinks cross for Amonds..great signs for that partnership..Sligored i dont think Keane is a long term solution at left back but he didnt do anything wrong tonight and is an option...Bring on Scumrock Rovers.
agreed, for us exiles its a life saver
not a bad crowd for setanta cup game that didnt matter, hopefully gives the coffers a boost
Great to see a bit of cautious optimism this early.
Although next weeks game is a different scenario altogether, the lads can feel more confident going into it after tonights performance.
And it's one step closer that badly needed Setanta prizemoney!
just to correct post here regarding crowd. the official attendance was 950 not 1300 to 1500 as some would suggest. not a bad crowd& will help a bit financially but remember that the majority of these people will not have to pay next week due to the 20 euro ticket. so we need to tell everybody out there that we have a side with potential & promise and need all the support they can get.
950 really?..what does main stand hold?..i would say it was 3/4 full..maybe 300 plus in Jinks and up to 200 between both goal ends...it defo was less than regular games but thought it was more than 950.
