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!!
yea it probably would if we were going for big friendlies but the lads will prob only play cobh and UCC and rockmount anyway..so no bothers ever getting a game with them
life is random
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.
