Shocking defending from us for the first 3 goals. It was actually a pretty even game but Pats just took their chances. We probably had as many chances as Pats. Very poor crowd.

Just thought I'd say well done to the Saint's Media team on them. Very well done.

I'd guess Sligo had more of the ball but can only think of Dan Connor being used once or twice. A few corners and frees but agian didn't do much with it. It was a very open game, even if I think we scored with our first three chances.

Definitely had a fair few chances to wrap it up before Guy's screamer

Has anybody seen that young fella off bray james kavanagh play yet ? Is he any good ?

Nobody can argue with the result last night. Our defending was shocking and we'd had to have scored 4/5 goals to get out of there with anything. Not sure why players like Blinkhorn, O'grady, keane werent in the starting lineup. I would have had the setanta cup in as a main objective so dont know why we changed lineup. Foran had an absolute nightmare in central defence resulting in us conceding so many. He'd prob be a decent right back but he was all over the place last night. We had alot of possession at times and did nothing with it - at times in the final 3rd we didnt know what to do. Pat's took their chances and that's what it's all about. Pat's didnt play near as well as they could but they didnt need to. Great goal from Guy. a brilliant strike.

This result will prob affect the attendance now for the next leg. Could be a good game but an awful lot to do. We should have done much better than that last night.

yea, saw that apparently galway were looking for a dispensation to sign a keeper outside the transfer window. league rejected the initial approach but they hope to be more successful in getting a keeper before game V Bohs.
Seems very, very careless management to start a season with one keeper (or are other keeper(s) at the club injured ?).

**GuisaSaigon** · 16/04/2010, 10:19 AM

We have two keepers signed Barry Ryan and Seamus Friel, both injured.

**Battery Rover** · 16/04/2010, 10:22 AM

the rule is from what I can remember of the top of my head is that if you have two keepers injured and both are professional the special dispensation can be given.

But if you have two keepers and one is professional and the other amateur then you cant do anything.

We had this issue a couple of seasons ago and our goalkeeping coach played for the best part of the season.

If it was "the best part of the season" were you not tempted to keep him in goals as he was obviously doing something right?

Could be wrong but think the "best part" referred to lenght rather than quality of duration.

The best part of the season for the opposition.

Yep. He is the younger brother of Paddy.

He only turned 17 in Feb of this year if i am correct and is in 4th year in school still. Apperently he was offered a 3 year contract by Burnley but chose to stay and do his leaving cert.

He has talent and potential, but he is a long way off being the finished article but i suppose playing week in week out for us will only make him a better player and will help his progress.

**GuisaSaigon** · 16/04/2010, 1:50 PM

That could be the problem, Battery Rover. I'd imagine Friel is on an amateur contract. Stupid rule, The FAI are trying to encourage clubs to stay within budget but then penalising them for doing so by signing amateur players.
