Bray

[outspoken]

Tonight's game is also live on Shannonside for anyone who can't make it. Teams news is that Danny O'Connor is out for Bray while Treacy is still suspended. Let's keep it tight and take them at home!

[Darklordsbane]

history shows the underdog usually only gets 1 chance. lets beat them tonight and Friday can take care of itself. They have the worst defence in the premier lets score a few tonight

[Martinho II]

I assume Tc wont make any changes from his starting lineup the other night. Why change a winning formula?

[IrishRossi]

this is TC were talking about tho

[outspoken]

A lot of cramps and tired bodies, Rhys Gorman was already dodgey going into the game and I know 1 town player was down with a flu so Doyle may come in and possibly 1 other change. Just hope he starts Ebbe again and not O'Brien.

[Darklordsbane]

Cousin was on the radio on Saturday saying they were going in on Sunday for physio and massage so I assume that will have sorted the cramp issues

Radio in internet¿

Sure about that?

Edit: Only broadcasting from 8 on.

[Darklordsbane]

Well that was interesting, we were pretty bad and pretty good, Can't knock the effort though, even though he was very good at filling in at center half, I thought Rhys was badly missed in midfield, (no one to make them pass sideways and back instead of forwards)
Would have taken a draw at half time, but thought we should have won it in the end, not sure we will get away with giving the ball away that much on Friday, having said that Bray are no great shakes either so I think we can do it especially on the bigger pitch at city calling
Hugh credit to the lads for getting us back in the game and massive shout out for the fans who got us there, absolutely brilliant, showed Brays supporters what it means to support a team,
Packed house on Friday night I hope

[Longfordian]

I think we took a while to get used to playing at the higher tempo that a Premier Division team plays at, plus the early injuries. Second half was a great performance. We'll still have a tough job ahead of us but hopefully we'll have a big and passionate crowd. Great Town support tonight. Reminded me of the glory days.

[QUOTE=Longfordian;1718439]I think we took a while to get used to playing at the higher tempo that a Premier Division team plays at good observation that I didn't think of that, I thought Bray got very tired in the 2nd half, that's why I think we can do it on ccs's bigger pitch.
Hard to call motm Chris Dean & Keith Quinn very good 2nd half as was Rhys Gorman (playing out of position) who I thought showed great maturity to realise when he slipped in the box (lucky not to have cost us a goal) to change his boots with blades for boots with studs, also thought he did well against the wiley old fox Jason Byrne, good performance from Ebbe once he settled into the game I thought he did well lovely goal as well

[Longfordian]

Keith Quinn and Connolly were very good too I thought. Everyone did well second half really.

Chris Deans man of the match? your kidding me? Dunno he stayed on the pitch, the bloke is a scumbag. Should have seen red for spitting in Byrne's face.

On the game itself we should have been out of sight but you came back very well in the 2nd half and fully deserved the draw. Overall we were terrible, showed no composure at all, awful 90 minutes from us.

[Darklordsbane]

Didn't know he spat in Bynre's face, how come you saw that and the linesman and ref didn't, if it's true I totally agree with you straight red, maybe fitzy could ask Rhys he seems to have an in there and Rhys was beside them when it allegedly happened
Thought I saw Steven Kenny there I wonder who he was watching it was hardly a player from Bray as he could have watched them all season

[Macy]

Like Longfordian, I think it took us the first half to adjust to premier division pace. Extremely positive for Friday that we were able to do so for the second half. We were lucky to go in only 2 nil down, but the response was excellent. We still gave them chances second half though - that one that went off the cross bar and post would've been killer I think.

Notwithstanding any allegations of spitting (hard to see everyone else missing it except Bray fans), I thought Deans played well. I think our fans are unnecessarily harsh on him. Ebbe I thought played well too. In fact, given the disruption caused by the forced early change I think we adjusted well come the second half. TC's taken a lot of stick, but in fairness to him he's turned it around the last series, and whatever happens on Friday, the play offs have provided some great moments.

Trust me it happened! No more than 10 yards away from it. It was a few minutes after Deans when through Byrne for a shortcut and got booked for it, he kept going at Byrne and mouthing off, Jayo gave it back and went the ball went out of play over near the dressing rooms Deans followed Byrne over and spat straight in his face. Pure filth. The Inpho photographer right beside us was taking photos of it, i'm be pretty sure he got the incident. Byrne even showed the ref the spit on his face but as he didn't see it could do nothing about it. I'd say about 10/15 people at max over beside us saw it, including 2 ex-Wanderers players who played with Deans when he was at Bray. In fairness you can only see something like that when you are pretty close up, wouldn't expect anyone else in the ground to have seen it apart form the 10/15 people very close by.

There were a few LoI managers there, Buckley was in attendance too. Can't imagine they were watching anyone being honest, not 1 player on either side that could make the likes of Dundalk, St. Pats etc.. better sides.

It's a bit surprising this photographic evidence isn't out there yet.

Yeah, no one would be interested in a player that's scored 27 goals this season (so far)... Bray still don't see it in Sully?

Actually, Byrne would still do a job for any premier division club, maybe not as a starter, but definitely off the bench. Whether he'd go anywhere else is a different matter I guess.

Sullivan is a good player alright but he left us, nothing to do with Bray not seeing anything in him, he left for fame and fortune when Sporting Fingal came knocking. He had a brilliant few seasons with our U21's and we offered him a contract for the following season but took the much better money on offer at the time, which i wouldn't blame him for! Still don't think any player on the pitch last night would start for any of the top 6/7 clubs in the Premier, possibly a few would be back up players as you say.

As for the spit, it happened. I know what i saw, it was only ten yards away, twas as clear as day. Deans is a scumbag.

[peadar1987]

I always used to like Deans when him and Deggsy were the heart of our defence. Pity he's apparently such a scumbag!

[L.T.F.C.]

Is it just me or has Derek O'Brien really come into some sort of form lately? His holding of the ball up the pitch has been fantastic and his ball control has been very good too. I think he has really come into it at the right time of the season!
