Players not given a chance?

Robbie doesn't do the same job as Collie. Collie breaks up the play and passes it around, Robbie's a more attacking minded player.

Who the hell are you Keano 16.. Do you support Bray? For how long? I have to say you are talking through your ass, and what comes out of your arse, S-hite.. Can't believe you are arguing with Roo about u21 players. The lad hardly ever misses a game at that level!

Chopper- Decent player but has been ravished with injurys and is way to slow.

Hops- You're having a laugh right. No where near a starting first team place.

Jigsaw- Very talented footballer, but just like Chopper, ravished with injurys. Had to earn a contract at the start of the season beacuse Devo wasn't to sure about his injury proness! Defo a starter if fully fit, but nowhere near it!

your all having a laugh...niall donnelly is shocking,and if i was having a bet o'hanlon,donnelly,and mcguiness will all be released at the end of the season like Roo said...end of story!
i wonder where u people get these crazy ideas from, and what has he done to deserve a chance...absolutly nothing. iv nothing against the lad just dont think hes up to premier division standard.

Lads I really cant believe some of the stuff being written here. You's obviously have short memories, both Chopper and Robbie are quality players and when fit are among the best players we have. Chopper and Jody make a good partnership at the back and Robbie creates chances, something we need. I understand that they've been injured a lot but players have had worse injuries and gotten over them. I think we'd be very foolish to let either of them go and I can genuinely see O'Hanlon and McGuiness being starters again next season. McGoverns been poor at best for us most of the time and Wes might not be back. Only time will tell but they're both experienced players and I sincerely hope they don't leave.

havin a laugh chopper is terrible cant pass 2 yards. just hoofs it
mcguinness should stay decent player better than what we have ie o'brien, dunne,james

Tarazan 1 sorry mate I thought this was a place you can express your own view's?? Would that be correct?? As for who I am I am a former League of Ireland player so I have been there and done it have you?? Do you even play football?? Thats the difference alot of people come on to these sites and just slaughter players for maybe a few mistakes made in a match or maybe they just dont like the look of the player, but what I think you fail to understand is that these lads you are slaughtering must have something if they are playing in this league for years... So before you start again think about that..If you have never played Football at this level then I think YOU should stop talking out of your ARSE.. As you so politically put it...

**keano16** · 28/10/2005, 12:26 PM

Are you having a laugh mate honestly....I do know him well though I will give you that..Thats prob why I have been a bit Pro Hops..But I am not him.

**Roo69** · 28/10/2005, 12:29 PM

Are you Hopper in disguise.........Are you Hopper in disguise.........Are you Hopper.........Are you Hopper...........Are you Hopper in disguise.........

**keano16** · 28/10/2005, 12:35 PM

Funny Man... I am a mate of his that has gone to most of the games he has played since I finished playing myself I coached him for a while a few years back...

Hopper is a very nice bloke but unfortunatlly not good enough to play for any eircom premier league 1st team, 1st division yes but it's a very big step up to the premier. He's not even the best defender/midfielder with the Bray U21's. Rochey, Tyrrell, Ivory and Murphy would all be ahead of him from U21 defenders and Zambra, McGee, Holt and Dunne from U21 midfielders. Defo wish Hopper all the best but can't see him being kept on at Bray after this season, i'd be very surprised if he was.

**keano16** · 28/10/2005, 12:52 PM

Thats a fair enough comment and your prob correct with regards to him playing in the Premier division... I do think he is well able to be a good first team player in the 1st Div though as you pointed out...He is a good lad and I think he has to get out of Bray if he is going to play first team football??

Keano he does know about football, you muppet. His uncle is a very famous player so I assume he knows what it takes to be a good player.

Who did i slate? I didn't say you couldn't express your views, did i? I'm a guy who defends players an awful lot, but when guys are not putting it in week in week out, they've gotta take the flak... And as for Hopper, whether he is your mate or not, i just don't think he is anyway near good enough yet for the first team. Reminds me of Peter Crouch! And YES i do play football.
