Livescore has Valero, Ruben and Cazorla as their scorers.

**BonnieShels** · 16/07/2011, 11:11 PM

Great result though.

**pineapple stu** · 16/07/2011, 11:33 PM

Absolutely. And on that, has a LoI side ever beaten a La Liga side before? I'm sure someone fluked it in the past, but can't think of anyone off hand.

**BonnieShels** · 16/07/2011, 11:45 PM

Claim it as a first. Can't think of anyone and I'm sure it would have been etched on all our memories if it had happened as a retort for a Barstooler.

We should've beaten Depor... nearly never bulled a cow as someone here said recently.

Really? You think friendlies would matter in that argument?

|There's been 3 draws before in Europe, no wins

**BonnieShels** · 17/07/2011, 10:53 AM

No I doubt they would.

Point I was making more than anything is that if an LOI side had beaten Spanish opposition before we would know all about it.

Anyone going to Drogheda on Tuesday to see MK Dons? Shaun Williams is eligible to play for them now and they've got Jay O'Shea on trial.

They changed the whole team at half-time except for Ruben with Cazorlo, Senna, and Nilmar really upping the pace for them. UCD brought on all of their subs bar the sub keeper. I was doing commentary and it's fair to say that all semblance of balance was lost in the last 10 minutes as I basically went nuts.

Bray drew 1-1 with Liverpool reserves tonight. 6 of Liverpools starting team were u-18 players. So much for Pat Devlin promising a few first teamers.

**Lim till i die** · 19/07/2011, 12:20 AM

Sounds like the Leeds scam Noel Mooney pulled down here a few years ago.

**Dodge** · 19/07/2011, 8:41 AM

Did Devlin say that though? I only read about it being a Liverpool XI

**Roo69** · 19/07/2011, 8:49 AM

He never once promised any first teamers. I was listen to the interiew live on eastcoast fm two sundays ago and he said Daglish would defo be there and was hoping he would bring a few first teamers with him, he promised nothing what so ever.

On the game itself, Bray were the better side in the first half and should have been a couple up. 2nd half was killed by all the subs made by Bray (9 in total i think). The standard of the Liverpool team bar a few players wasn't great, i was expecting a lot more from them being honest. I reckon our A Championship side would give them a good game. There 2 wingers though were lightening fast and caused a few problems near the end

In short, no!

**BonnieShels** · 19/07/2011, 10:42 AM

You going to see Drogheda then?

Wasn't so much a promise more he said he was confident they were bringing first team players.

He said Kenny was defo coming over and hoped that he would bring a few first teamers but because they were in the far east wasn't sure. Can't blame him for anything in that. Rumours flying around were that Gerrard, Mireles, Henderson and Reina were all coming over, turned out not to be true
