While I expect Cork to have too much for them, they may well be vulnerable after last nights defeat in Oriel Park

We'll both be playing reserve teams but your reserve team is a lot better than ours. Outside Shaw, Miele and Gilchrist we're down to teenagers.

Oops

ET reporting it now. Sounds like Wexford are in trouble. http://www.extratime.ie/articles/212...-over-athlone/

That would be outrageously disrespectful to the venerable LSC competition.

Maybe losing the game to a bunch of kids would help bolster any flagging confidence in the "project". #4MoreYears

Matthew Connor in goals for Waterford with Corbet on the bench.

Is Alan Reynolds blind to Corbets amazing potential?

Per the FAI's website Croke was booked in four games but it's a case of whether Croke could have received another yellow-card or Croke's name on the suspension list was an FAI admin error

I hope Wexford haven't been that stupid to play Croke without receiving clearance FAI because it was only last September they lost 2 points for playing an unregistered keeper in their draw against Shels

Tad bit random. Any particular reason for that comment? Matthew is a young local lad with a fair amount of potential and is number one, doing well too mind you.

Ez is a tad bit upset that I suggested Waterford (and Cork) had better goalkeeping options on the bench than Euro Calamity Rogers and Dropsy Sava.

How many league winning medals does Rogers have?

**pineapple stu** · 01/07/2018, 9:56 AM

Now now, we've been over this.

Let's not have two Ezeikials; I think that would drive everyone away and be the end of the forum.

Djimi Traore has a Champions League medal. I don't think that puts him in the same bracket as Lionel Messi though.

Upset? certainly not

Probably more astonished, amused or bewildered by your claim that Niall Corbet (and Peter Cherrie) are both better goalkeepers than Gary Rogers.

It was pretty hilarious that when called out on it, you moderated your claim to say that you thought Corbet had more potential!!!

Translation might be - "lets not have anyone else challenge me on the ludicrous claims I make"

Maybe the forum could be saved if you were restored to your Moderating job, Stu?

Stephen Bradley though.

He does a good enough job of bringing Bradley up in completely irrelevant conversations without your help thank you very much nigel

Like in the thread called "Stephen Bradley interview in the independent" that you started recently?

A rovers fan starting a thread about an interview their manager did that covers some fairly important issues surrounding players being sent abroad at 15/16, yeah I can definitely see your point that's definitely the exact same as how you could bring him up in a conversation about fair city.

Dundalks goalkeeper choice makes plenty of sense form the perspective of Dundalk supporters who have experienced winning leagues and FAI Cups in addition to consistent European qualification under Kenny. While Dundalk folk would be unlikely to contemplate change currently, what pineapple stu alludes to is an interesting suggestion that Dundalk could possibly achieve more with the current crop of players with better goallkeepers than Rodgers and Sava - it is unlikely that the thesis will be tested

However, in the event of Dundalk receding and going a season or two without winning a trophy, the Dundalk support may become more impatient with the Kenny choice of goalkeepers.
