report on bohs match??

**the 12 th man** · 10/05/2004, 8:39 AM

any body got a report on the match??.was it a good chance murph missed??

**max power** · 10/05/2004, 9:25 AM

well i almost feel asleep.....

we started well with brian byrne having a chance in the 1st minute, he waited too long to hit it and it came to nothing, as play came to a settleed state in came clear that kirby and murph just weren't doing it in the middle of the park, they weren't closing down or tackleing and john martin was doing most of the donkey work.....it was a drab first half with sean dillon wasting a lot of ball ( macy thats for you )...bohs pushed forward and garto was lucky to stay on the pitch after elbowing i think lynch in the face, ok his jersey was being pulled but a silly rash decision by garto almost left us with 10...

an interesting point in the first half was when the god father ( the v man ) banged his head while trying to sit down in the dug out .....

there were not too many scoring chances for either side in the first half and kenny got a nice booing off from us at the end of the first half.....at half time a lot a people were just commenting on how players didn't want to shoot and kept passing the ball off....

onto the second half and we almost let an early goal in, crowe got free but his shot went straight across the goal,we had a chance when a baker cross was just missed by frances, it was tit for tat for the next while until barrett came on for john martin ( the only midfielder we had until that point ) with francis going to the right...

now we started to play football, baker and barrett linking up well, barrett won a few corners and began to run the bohs defence, while we should have had a penalty when frances was brought down in the box but mceoin just waved play on.......vinny came on late ( i think for dillon )...

overall a lack luster display with too many times in the game wondering where the heart was......

best was martin and barrett when he came on, doing his normal dependable job was sean prunty....the rest well, i shall be kind and say nothing.....

not all will agree with me, but bohs were under strength and on the back foot and we didn't exploit it, and we are unbeatin in dublin so far this season, which is a good point also along with 3 clean sheets in a row...

team was:

digger

dillon ferguson gartland prunty

martin murphy kirby byrne

francis baker

with barrett and the god father on as subs

Shocking game, both teams were terrible. and as for alan kirby god knows why he is still in 1st eleven maybe flancare is keeping him in the team because it certainly isnt his performances. we need to buck up soon or it will be a long season.

Is he not being played out of position?

**max power** · 11/05/2004, 9:05 AM

xlex in the centre yes, but when he has been out on the right he has been no better either, i feel a spot on the benh might do him the world of good, on another point, will the fringe players get a game tonight in the league cup ???

Scapegoat for the early season poor form. He's always been underated by the support IMO, and some sections of the crowd decided to make him the fall guy.

**max power** · 12/05/2004, 9:24 AM

he did do well pre season and hit a cracker against ucd, but he is light and gets pushed off the ball easily, but his passing is up to scratch......

Surprised at that, Pip never had a bad game for Bray and always gave 100% no matter how badly we were playing, between him and Jayo Byrne they were our most consistant players a few seasons back.

We'll take him on loan if ya's want !
