No after you've jinxed it now......
Competition for places is really healthy and will do the team no harm whatso ever.
We have it up front now with 4 guys chasing 2 places.
We have it in midfield with some very strong replacements (and some excellent young players knocking on the door).
A really good reserve 'keeper.
All we need now is some others challenging for the center of defence (I think it's gonna be a while before Derek is any where near match fit to be the one).
Reckon Rico is watching this in relation to his first purchase.
There's nothing like mass hysteria is there
Fair play to the fella but calm down a small bit, I seem to remember last season half seemed to think he was a decent prosprect while the other half thought he was muck.
not the time posted and the amount of alcohol, consumedThere's nothing like mass hysteria is there
.
but fair play to the guy...really giving rico something to think about
Oh yeah, hadn't noticed that. Understandable now I suppose
Was watching Uruguay and Brazil on Bravo last night and heard the most stupid comment from any commetator ever (he made Canning, Hamilton et al sound quiet simply intelligent).
At one stage in the game he started having a go at Ronaldo and how he was amazed at all the hype surrounding him and I swear, this is what he said....
...."I know he's scored 57 goals in 87 internationals (just 11 short of Pele's record), but he does nothing during the games, and is quiet simply a liability to the team"...... :rolleyes:
I jest not.
So when talking about Behan I think we should appreciate what we have and that is a smashing young lad, who loves playing for City, is scoring for fun at the moment, is bubbling with confidence so let's not destroy it by expecting too much and deflating the guy.
He's there to score goals - which he is doing.
Fair play to the lad.
I remember one Colin P O'Brien going through a rich vein of form for city and scoring some good goals. Where is he now? If you don't mind i'll hold judgement for now. BTW you can't compare JOF to Behan. Flynn is head and shoulders above him and has just been unlucky with injuries.
skill wise...yes
for strength..has to be behan
but as long as he is scoring...he starts

Hear 2 Reports saying it came off a defender going in ?
Fair enough, but I won't be calling him the next big thing just yet. Pardon the pun
even if it did,would have went in anyway...behan's goal
Behan was well brave against the keeper for his goal v Bray.
That's a great quality in a forward.
He's still learning.
We'd need to start getting goals from somewhere else though.
It's never good to depend on one player.
Great start to the season and great support as always.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
going back 3 weeks ago did we think the 1 player would be behan
Behan's been great but he's still young and needs experience, but as you said corner, as long as he's scoring he'll stay in the team
I didn't think so because I expected Rico to go with Fenn and Doyler but I'm not surprised that Behan has taken his chance and shined.going back 3 weeks ago did we think the 1 player would be behan
I wont be giving Cashmans a score on him to be our top scorer this season though.

Behan started ONE game last season- he scored in that. This season he's scored every time he's started too. Can't say fairer than that. The problem last season was that Dolan was only giving him 2 or 3 minute run outs at the end of every game. So while he did play, he never really had a chance to get a run in the team- didn't appear to do his confidence any good. Now, not only is he scoring goals, but IMO his all round play is improving game by game. He really looks confident now and like he's enjoying his football, and as long as he keeps scoring and playing this well, he deserves to stay in the team. Maybe the idiots who are giving him abuse can shut up too
ya...right
football on bravo
But, But, But........I swear it was on, I swear......ya...right
football on bravo
I promise I turned it off after 10pm.........
Where is the abuse in looking at the various parts of his game, and comparing him with other players?Maybe the idiots who are giving him abuse can shut up too
