Kirby, while a class player on the right is played out of position in the middle.
Matthews - get your finger out and start playing paople in their correct positions!!!!!!
And for gods sake - will u lot stop having a pop at the team and prove that you are actually supporters as opposed to a shower of whingers!!

OK - Rant over!!

we played a mid tabled division 1 team tonight and any other result would be a failure....nothing to get excited about, even if darragh did score

**the 12 th man** · 19/05/2004, 9:31 AM

anybody play particularly well??
what was the attendance like??

**max power** · 19/05/2004, 9:33 AM

well we out numbered athlone 4 to 1 i'd say, if not even more....

dillon defended well, passing was suspect..

sheridan could have scored a hat trick

thats true by the way

pitch was a bit bobbley...but st mels park, irelands only time machine, go through those gates and your back in the 70's instantly

i didnt think it was an overly great match!! yeah we won 4-0 and all and darragh scored but at times it looked like athlone played better football than us (on the ground like) until they ran outa steam!!

any news on dessie? is he ok?

**sorbothegreek** · 19/05/2004, 10:09 AM

Dont mean to whinge, but, still no goals from the strikers.
Who had we up front last night?
How did they play?

**Xlex** · 19/05/2004, 10:30 AM

and Barry missed another Penno

**max power** · 19/05/2004, 10:34 AM

sorbo that was mentioned last night, keegan well same old same old, nothing much happening with him, he won a peno which barry missed ( that has to be looked at for future games )

dessie played well and his movement was good, got a shoulder knock in the second half and was taken off shortly afterwards, barrett came on and was very bright up front....

john martin was one of the best players of the game, running, tackleing and not to mention scoring...

but fair play to athlone, their passing was good and they streched us at times...

we kept the ball on the ground and there was some good passing, i counted 18 in one passage which is good..

roll on friday
