**outspoken** · 15/02/2012, 11:26 PM

Im told that SRFC are still considering moving the game and it very well could happen due to the amount of games been played on the tallaght pitch.

1-1 good result and a decent performance, fantastic goal by Town but who was the no.19 that set up the goal with his mazy run i thought he was absoutely fantastic.

Great to see kirbs back what a player he is the ball is glued to his feet and he has great vision (couldnt understand people saying hes no where as good as he was and that hes lost it a bit hes still top class and will rip out the division)

Karl Bermingham shone in the the first half his hold up play is fantastic throw in aussies little flicks and you have a great partnership (gary shaw still has to come back so we look well set up top)

A lot of attention on Duffy not sure what to make of him tbh he looks ok on the ball but hes really lacking pace. Salmo looks even better than last year but gillespie looks even worse! I hate to be so critical after a pre-season game but he leaves awful short passes in front of the back 4 and it almost cost us a few times, for someone thats played in england his touch isnt great especially compared to kirbs.

New keeper looks steady made 1 really good save despite his error for the drogs goal.

Our passing is fantastic (especially 1st half) and since thats a decent premier side id bd very confident we can play like that against 99% of teams in the division.

So who was the no.19 for us?

**Martinho II** · 19/02/2012, 12:41 AM

town squad tonight: hyland, o reilly, g cronin, dowling, deans, kirby, gillespie, salmon, bermingham, a skelly, duffy. subs;s skelly, purdy, o brien , haverty, crawley, radu contor( romanian trialist that was here for two weeks and headin back next week. he supld assist for aussie screamer. he plays for romanian 2nd div side.) he was the best player on the pitch when he came on

kirbs had a stormer. gillespie had a screamer.

in other town news it was confd tonight that Jamie Duffy has signed for us again ( unattached). Niall O Reilly has resigned and Dean Cosgrave whos livin in Drumlish and part of the town under 19 side has being promoted to the senior squad this season!

**outspoken** · 19/02/2012, 10:09 AM

Ah can we not keep the romanian fella what a player!

**L.T.F.C.** · 19/02/2012, 1:24 PM

17 was that Romanian lad. He played in midfield and was super. Reminds me of Dembele, very hard to get the ball off. Who was 20?

**De Town** · 19/02/2012, 1:29 PM

Daniel Purdy

It seems O'Reilly got injured in the game last night and is having an x ray on his leg today. It'd be a bit of a blow for him if it's serious given he's only just coming back from injury.
