Athlone in for a long season judging by that defending.Originally Posted by exiled_gufc_fan
Limerick v Bohs a fair result but the fare on offer was horrible especially from the home team who barely strung two passes together especially in the first half just constantly lumping the ball up the pitch.Neck brace has been ordered just in case.Sullivan ran himself to a standstill poor fella.
Decent highlights package, well put together. More clubs should be getting this done.
Sean Kavanagh looked decent when he came on for Rovers in the last 10 minutes on Friday.
He was originally reported to be joining Derry on loan from Fulham, where he was contracted to this summer. According to Daniel McDonnell in the Indo today, Kavanagh cut a deal with Fulham for a severance package before signing a season long deal with Rovers. This pay-off along with whatever Rovers are paying him, should surely leave him better off at least in the short-term. Stephen Bradley seems to suggest otherwise:
https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...-36642631.htmlHis new manager, Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley, said that arrangement involved a sacrifice.
"I could tell you that the financial aspect is unbelievable - what he left behind," said Bradley after Kavanagh came off the bench for a debut in a scoreless draw with Dundalk. "That tells you what he's about. He just wants to play football."
If Kavanagh is worse off after those two negotiations, he urgently needs a new agent. I wonder would his neighbour Sean Gannon (or even Karl Sheppard) point him in the right direction?
Or alternatively Bradley and kavanagh might be telling the truth. Or maybe we threw the whole kitchen at him
That's possible, and why I suggested that he urgently needs a new agent if that was the case. It beggars belief that he could be worse off taking his severance deal into account.Or alternatively Bradley and kavanagh might be telling the truth. Or maybe we threw the whole kitchen at him
BTW, I didn't see anything attributed to Kavanagh himself.
Half times:
Sligo Rovers 0-2 Cork City, Cummins, Sadlier (Pen)
Waterford FC 1-0 St Pats, Browne
Shamrock Rovers 1-0 Bray, Burke
3-0 City. Cummins again
3-1 now. Morgan with a penalty
City starting this season just like they did last season. Ominous!
Waterford FC twitter throwing it down to the FAI and RTE. Love it.
RT Excuse me @SSEAirtricityLg @RTEsoccer and @SoccRepublic but we would love to put up Bastien Hery's goal this evening... are we allowed? Please...... #JustSayYes #Worldie
5 nil rovers 65 minutes . Finally playinng decent football .
Finished 4-1 at the Showgrounds. Cummins hattrick.
Hat tip to Graham Cummins - he has certainly started the season in blistering form.
Big win and statement by Cork tonight
Yeah, i guessed he'd score 10-15 this season. He's scored 4 in a game and a bit. May need to revise. His finishing has been excellent, as has his general link up play.
A really disappointing and lacklustre performance from Pat's. We were second best to everything tonight, not at the races at all. No arguement whatsoever that Waterford deserved the three points.
We were a bit better in the second half but that was to be expected after our dire first half and the fact that we were one down. Hery's goal was an absolute cracker. I knew it was going in, as i'm sure he did, as soon as it left his foot.
Big game at home to Sligo now on friday, weather permitted.
Or maybe he just wanted to play football week in week out with a few european games thrown into it too and was willing to take a slight pay cut to do that.
Just got feeling back in my toes now after the Rovers game, great game from our perspective. Though I do think we were the dominant side throughout I think 6-0 was a couple of goals harsh on Bray, they didn't trouble our goal too much but they weren't as bad as 6-0 would suggest, just turned off for 10 minutes and went from 2 down to 5 down in those 10 and that was the game over. The rest of the game resembled a sort of training match bothe teams just taking turns passing it about while not really going anywhere with Miele adding his second right at the end to compound the misery.
Overall a lot better than the Dundalk game and hopefully we can kick on from here
Bray are awful but haven't seen us score goals like that in years. Well worth the frostbite.
Dare I say it, but bray players played like they hadn't been paid.
Kavanagh looks a find, and great to see the whole teams reaction when danny Carr scored. He's clearly a popular lad with the squad.
I'll be expecting 7 now on friday, Rovers.
