Apparently the last few days have seen them sign a couple of very good players. A bit of a mix of Premier and First Division blended with a few LSL players and their own players already signed with the club. Apparently, what I've been told, a bit of a running ex-Bray theme going on.

Bray 1-0 Waterford

Athlone's 0-0 looks impressive against a strong Rovers side. Expecting the latter to disappoint again this season.

**Charlie Darwin** · 06/02/2015, 10:48 PM

Athlone looked good but sort of ridiculous to judge Rovers on half the team getting a gentle run-out.

**paykanti** · 06/02/2015, 10:55 PM

Aye, I'd like to retract that last bit of the statement please.

Rovers should have won it comfortably by three or four goals.

Athlone keeper made a couple of v smart saves, and some poor finishing also.

Rovers had practically nothing to do at the back all game long

Rovers had the better chances but i dont think tou are giving us enough credit DRDoc. I thought we done very well considering the 2 squads. As did a few Rovers fans we were sitting with. Im quite happy with our 2 games so far.

I dunno about Rovers winning comfortably. They should have won but Athlone will be encouraged by their display. Rovers could lack a cutting edge in attack this season again but Fahy looks to have added some creativity. Drennan didnt look great last night but just played a half and maybe just looking to get match sharpness.

Not a Rovers fan, not an Athlone fan, that is just the way I saw it

You did very well to not concede I thought

What happened to Gorman last night. According to Extra Time updates, he came on at HT but went off again in the 65th?

EDIT: Nevermind, their report says Gorman wasn't replaced.

Was there any standout performances by Ramblers?

A few Pablo, Andy O'Connell, Brendan Frahill and Audi Dunlea played very well. Was also impressed with young Adam O'Sullivan who played at right back in the first half, up from the 19 team but played as though he had a few years experience at this level. Definitely one for the future.

Personally I think Andy O'Connell will do great in the first division. He'll get goals.

Derry beat Coleraine 2-1 on Friday night.

**sulywaterfordfc** · 09/02/2015, 11:51 AM

Avondale beat us in the Munster cup yesterday 1-0. We more or less had the under 19s playing as just 7 first team players were in the squad. Awful game Avondale deserved the win.
