Playoff -V- Monaghan United

**Stevo Da Gull** · 02/11/2010, 9:05 PM

So it all comes down to two legs against Monaghan. Most likely missing Prendergast, Mulroy and Houston through injury and Mitchell through suspension. Not sure if Shields has an injury. He came off against Rovers with a knock and came off at ht in Galway.

Hopefully the lads can lift themselves and get ready for battle. I'd say that there are tired legs at this stage but no more so than Monaghan. The tie is there to be won!

Many going to Monaghan for the first leg?

Can Mitch's red card be appealled?

Shields took an elbow to the back of the head early in the first half, maybe it was a touch of concussion? Should be ok for Friday and Monday. Mitchell is 100% out of the game, can't appeal a straight red card. It will most likely mean Danny or young slots back into centre half with Webby, Graham Kelly moves into the middle of the park and possibly Touhy on the right side of midfield or he could play young Shane O'Connor at right back and Daire Doyle on the right side of midfield.

After last night, i can't see half as many going up to Monaghan.

Can you not just bring some down with you for the return leg? (You should be able to fit enough for everyone in your boot!)

**Magicme** · 04/11/2010, 1:07 AM

Ha ha. No, they disintegrate if they go out of the ground.

**Stevo Da Gull** · 04/11/2010, 1:11 AM

I've got footage from Mexico that suggests they can survive outside of Century Homes Park..

Its all lies... doctored video. You should know better than to believe everything you see on Youtube.

I'm sure a big radio celebrity like you could work something out!

**Magicme** · 04/11/2010, 1:29 AM

Ha ha... but as a vegetarian, I wont!

You sure about that?

I know across the water you can't appeal a sending off it's due to two yellows, but can appeal a straight red.

Why would it be different here?

**Roo69** · 04/11/2010, 9:45 AM

You can only appeal a straight red card in the case of mistaken identity can't you?

And lets be honest, it's the FAI, they just love being different

They didn't over turn Blinkhorn or Ryan's bans from the cup final so can hardly see them doing it for Mitchell even if we could appeal it.

**SupaJon** · 04/11/2010, 9:53 AM

Yeah - wasn't sure what the options were.
I know in England if you appeal the red card, th eplayer is free to play until the appeal decision, but risks a lengthier suspension if the appeal is rejected.

Thought it may have been a way to get Mitch to play on Friday.

Is he suspended for both games, or just Friday?

**Roo69** · 04/11/2010, 9:55 AM

I would hope just Friday, but i would think that would depend on how many yellow cards he has to his name

I'd imagine it's just a one match automatic ban. The discipilinary committee are unlikely to sit before Monday so any additional suspension will probably come in at the start of next season.

You are actually spot on, never thought of that.

**Bray-Z** · 04/11/2010, 1:43 PM

Team news: "Bray Wanderers will have to plan for the Premier/First Division Play-off first leg game against Monaghan Utd. at Centuary Homes Park on Friday night without defender Adam Mitchell and Dave Webster, Mitchell following his sending off at Terryland Park and Webster getting an exra two games following his sending off in Sligo. Otherwise Pat Devlin will have the same squad to choose from as on Tuesday for the game against Galway Utd."

Defence looking very bare!

**Roo69** · 04/11/2010, 2:06 PM

Webby got an extra 2 games ban ! ****ing hell, it was an extremely harsh sending off in the first place but ti give him an extra 2 game ban is disgraceful, terrible news and hard to plan now with a defence so bare of central defenders. The only options we really have there are Shane O'Connor, Danny O'Connor and Stephen Brennan, Mitchell will then be back for Monday night.

GK - Gregg
LB - Massey
RB - S. O'Connor
CB - D. O'Connor
CB - Brennan
LM - J. Kelly
RM - Doyle
CM - Dempsey
CM - G. Kelly
ST - O'Neill
ST - Shields

Subs to pick from:
Shaw
Touhy
Byrne
Kane
Tresson
Baker
Tyrrell

what time is kick off tomorrow evening at? I am doing nothing so might go up and see how the old town players Danny O'Connor and Daire Doyle are getting on. I was looking back at old newspaper cuttingsfrom a year ago recently and and I saw that we could have signed Gary Shaw when Alan Gough was manager but alas it wasnt to be!
