They may or may not be fake - but I'm just saying "all that is on a USB stick" is a rubbish excuse! and doesn't prove anything.Originally Posted by dundalkfc10
I feel sorry for Rogers, he was such a calamity last time out in Europe that he is bound to be feeling the pressure now.
Pressure is not good on a keeper .
Hopefully he can get a few decent touches early and settle down.
Dundalk are not as good as last year but this is still a match that is winnable.
Most important thing is a clean sheet
I'm fairly sure a new GK was high on his priority list, but for whatever reason he couldn't get one, so he's stuck with Rogers and Sava for another year.
Rumour has it that he wanted Supple badly, but Supple chose to stay with Bohs.
An odd thing to claim, especially if Dundalk have said they are fake. Why did Balls.ie think they could be so sure the pages were legit, I wonder?...
As Nigel points out, they do appear to contain odd or suspiciously irrelevant info, such as the players' agents, which would lend credence to the notion that they aren't genuine. They aren't particularly detailed or insightful either, as you say. However, it would also be in Dundalk's interests to dismiss them as fakes as it'd save the club embarrassment and cast doubt over any revealed game-plan.
If it is indeed a hoax, it's an odd thing to fabricate, but, hey, this is the internet!
i've seen scouting reports with agents names on them , it gives the clubs a contact point if the scout is recommending a player for a transfer.
Its actually standard enough and easily inserted as some PFAI websites (don't know about Norway and can't be bothered looking) list the agents as a service to players.
Maybe its real maybe its not but I don't think it gives anything away that isn't obvious
There are no agents listed.
A scout report can be typed out on a template with flexible purpose, eg a scout report on a player that the club might be interested in signing. In that case the agent would be listed.
Hoax or not - it doesn't matter, there are just 2 pages of saying nothing, yet a Balls ie article claimed that those 2 pages tell all and sundry how Dundalk are exactly going to play.
Some people have lost the run of their imagination.

Anyhow - best of luck to Dundalk tonight! ... I take a 1-0 win now!
Whenever i need to verify an Irish football story - balls is my first port of call followed closely by the LOI banter page on Facebook
True, the two reports - Bendtner and the goalkeeper's - that appeared on Facebook and Balls.ie have "no agency" listed, but there's still a line reserved for such info if the player scouted had an agent.
Anyway, who knows for certain whether they're genuine or not?
Of course, Balls.ie, in their noble employment of the humble clickbait model, would have absolutely nothing to gain from a bit of dramatisation...Hoax or not - it doesn't matter, there are just 2 pages of saying nothing, yet a Balls ie article claimed that those 2 pages tell all and sundry how Dundalk are exactly going to play.

Always look through the draw to see what ties might see the Unseeded side having a chance of winning over 2 legs. This is one of the ties.
One of my other picks Vardar, just gone one up in Malmo.
I hate Dundalk, Drogheda and the entire county of Louth, but come on Dundalk!
feck it anyway , my stream went dead, typical, anyone describe the goal to me, cheers

Duffy, I think, pulls the ball onto his right on the left wing. Whips in a cross at fantastic pace into the box. McMillan is standing in the middle of three defenders but gets the headed flick past the Rosenburg keeper who hasn't a prayer. 1-0
Great source stream yer man has.
Big let off there for Dundalk.
Keepers get undue protection in football. Similar bs with player's shadowing balls out for 15 yards.
