Hynes should have been taken off first, mcgann up front and brosy certainly should not have been taken off so early. In Hynes maybe he was leaving him on after starting the shels game with no strikers on the pitch. Meanwhile in the ground but no where near the team was the best defensive midfielder in the club. He might get a few mins for the A team on sunday. At 20 years of age, hes too old apparently
Take it from this that its Donan?

Hynes worked his socks off again and was good all round but when he was put through on goal which a half decent striker would have at least tested the keeper,instead he fluffed it.His goal return is extremely poor.Sorry to say but once new players come in Hynes will be very far down the peckin list.We may have seen the last of him as a regular i think.

Hynes is a poor player look back on my posts he has scored what 2 or 3 goals this season as I said a few months back that Is not good enough for a promotion seeking team but when I said it I was told he is one of or best players I'll say it again he is rubbish and when behan and stevo are ready or so called best player will warm the bench for the rest of The season.

I have to say that Scully has done a very good job. In fairness he has been backed heavily over the last few months, but he seems to be delivering.He has made a few bad signings and is prone to making the odd tactical error, but one thing I think no one can argue about is the level of professionalism he has brought to training/preparation etc and that is something we have been lacking over the years (again I know he has been helped by the board).
Personally, with the amount of investment I think promotion is a must. As mentioned earlier we have had an horrific injury list and we are still in the chase. Add in the fact we have Behan, Gamble, Steveo and maybe Murray to come in and we are in a great position for the playoffs at least. Were we to miss out on going up I think Scully's position would need to be closely examined, but right now, I think he has us on the right path.
Whether you love him or hate him, lets just hope we get the f**k out of this graveyard!

Your right Capello but you must remember that most of us who have sometimes posted negative comments have been following this club for a very long time and we have seen many many false dawns so we're just being cautious.It would be too much to get overally excited (again) and end up with nothing at the end of the season. If you read most of the "cranky" posts their just really being honest with their views and not being negative for the sake of it.
Personally i think we're doing well considering the injury list and will expect a big push with good performances when the new players come in and the others regain their fitness.

Most of them yes but there is some no matter what happens want to have a go off Pat. Its one thing complaining about decisions he has got wrong but to call for him to be sacked is madness surely. Not talking about you by the way havent ever seen you call for him to be sacked or anything.
Understand what you are saying about false dawns we just have to hope this is the time it comes off.
Edit: Thomas he was playing very well at the time and was involved in setting up a lot of goals. No doubt that Behan and Steve will be ahead of him now id even have Brossie ahead of him because Hynes is too similar to Behan.

Hynes will lose his place but he has had a big part in getting us where we are now and we can't forget that. He has only scored 1 goal I think but he has set up a good few, closes down really well, makes a nuisance of himself up front and is well able to work back when needs be. Look at Sean O Conner he has 3 or 4 goals but barr that has done nothing. I'd prefer to have a player who will bust their balls for the team than someone who doesn't want to try.
I feel we are yet to reach our potential this season and we are still level with Cork and Mons, both of whom have been considered to be playing well, Mons more than Cork maybe. Too many draws for Cork is killing them.
I take your point about being cautious, and as a long standing supporter myself, I am not allowing myself to get too excited yet. But some of the criticism of him here, not pointing any fingers at you and without wishing to trawl the thread for the quotes, does seem very harsh, no manager is going to get it spot on all the time to everyones liking but overall, we are progressing. And on many different fronts and aspects of the club.
I find it very strange to come on here to read about the need for him to be sacked, baffling actually.
Had over 800 versus Shelbourne, they don't tend to stick around when what they watch agrees with their preconceived notions.
With regards to the Mervue match just because a substitute scores does not mean his substitutions were justified. Mervue should have taken at least a point...as soon as the second half started it was clear that we would "hold what we have"...completely outplayed he encouraged his players to run around more...anyway we got the 3 points
I definitely agree with you there blue... Last Friday was the first time I have come to a game in years and the condition of the team is ten times better than what it was under O'Connor or Kerley. Even saw they had a sports science guy there (don't know anything really about what he does or if anything at all, but it looks really professional) my point is, things have gotten much much better under Scully than where they were under any other manager I can remember. The place smacks of professionalism... except for the ground obviously
No but when we are told that substitutions left us with nothing up front when one was an attacking player that has scored then it clearly proves that point wrong.
At the end of the day how many times have we deserved a point or more and got nothing. Most of them players played 3 times in a week it has to be remembered.
Shels, Cork and Mons all win tonight. Mons with a 90min winner.
Do you really think it's solely a Limerick problem?Football fans are illogical and unreasonable all over the globe.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
