    I saw City play Sansea in a 99 preseaso game. We had a full team out and were played off the park. Sansea were bigger, stronger, fitter, more skilled, better style, more composed. If you pardon the pun they were in a different league. Even Ollie C was beaten to everyball (are you watching $helsman? )

    This is a sad statement to make, but thats how it was. As much as I love the Eircom League I believe that the standard of football is very low.

    Will the fact that the League starts early make it harder to ge friendlies- we would have to play them in June.
    Also the world cup will rule out a number of internationals teams from visiting the cross!!

    I can't agree I ever saw Swansea as motre skillful than city. Sure they were stronger & fitter but that was cos the smallest Swansea player was still over 6 foot.

    Its unfair to compare fulltime players who have trained every day for 3 weeks or so against a city team with maybe a couple of training sessions comleted.
