Pre Season 2011

Longfords tiny little left winger looked decent in the first half and made their goal. Fagan looked outstanding for us.

Institue 0-7 Derry, McDaid (4), Lafferty, Molloy and McGlynn scored. Good run out for Derry against an understrength Insitute team. Derry also had a weakened team with P McElehenney, S McElehenny, McClean, Zayed and Deery sitting in the stands. McCallion and McGlynn were also only 2nd half subs.

Jacques Morley. He's looked lively in all our games so far by all accounts. Fagan is a pretty experienced player at this stage he should do well for ye.

Well able to tackle but general consensus is he's a bit green, tends to think "I'm a full back so my job when I get the ball is to belt it out for a throw as far up the field as I can

Garvan is a center half by trade. Played all the U20s games pushing between center half and center mid. Scully saw most of the games as he was assessing Paugie for the UEFA B License so he's been a long time admirer.

well we have three bars

decent game last night. bohs looked a little rusty (not surprising as it was first game) but kept the ball down and played a bit of ball. very unlucky to go in at half time a goal down - longford keeper made a couple of decent saves - and fully deserved second half equalizer. Fagan looked a very good player for Bohs (Longford number nine also very lively) and it will have done some of the younger players no harm to get a run. Mid table obscurity looking realistic !

Primarily it was nice to get back to watching 22 players chasing a plastic thing around the pitch after all the off season fiasco. First preseason game always great before the depressing reality kicks in.

Longfords 9 was Don Cowan, I thought Forrester on the right looked decent enough for Bohs, Fagan is a really good signing

Are Mervue United in the Algarve on pre-season or is it some kind of a sick joke?

"Mervue United play local Portuguese side, Quarteirense, tonight at 9pm before wrapping up their 5day pre-season training in the Algarve"

No they are actually over there there was pictures of them in their camp posted on twitter I didnt know they were playing any games though......that must be a pricey old trip

**Dodge** · 22/02/2011, 12:18 PM

Whats sick about that?

**Longfordian** · 22/02/2011, 12:26 PM

Nothing sick about it I'm sure they can afford it they're quite a well run club by all accounts. They don't pay their players or they pay very little so treating them well is good if they can afford it. Plenty of GAA clubs do it.

Did they get into Europe by default?

Fair played if they can afford it, id be pretty sure all clubs would do the same if they could.

They must be making a bit off those cake sales and dinner dances. Genuinely thought it was a **** take...

surprised it wasnt mentioned there were a few hundred at the bohs game last nite in dalyer.. and there was a vocal bohs choir too.. very impressive turnout from bohs for a friendly..

**Ash** · 22/02/2011, 1:01 PM

They went last season too. Not sure about this year but last time I'm nearly sure the players part funded the trip themselves and sold club lotto's etc to cover costs.
