    I was not aware anyone "rated" them. O'Brien (might have missed 1 game last year) & Behan (squad player) do effective jobs for CCFC. No one has ever suggested they amoung the leagues best.

    Rogers & Harris are rubbish which is why in 'limbo'.

    False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.

    They were never rated .... although O'Brien should get far more credit than he does.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I think that's harsh - Brenton Leister is neither under nor over-rated

    Owen Heary, Ollie Cahill,, Fabio O'Brien and David Forde was the most over rated keeper Ive ever come across, he was pure muck.

    Strange selection. ONly Hunt and Crowe would ever be described as rated. And hunt hasn't been for years. Definitely not the Pats team anyway. Jesus, even Pats fans don't rate most of 'em

    Heary's one of the best defenders the league has seen in the last 20 years

    I don't know if I would go that far but its been easy to see for last 2 years that when he is injured Shels defence falls apart.

    Hunty had a very poor season and may be past his best. In his day he was by far the best midfielder in the league and will always be a true Bohs legend. You'd never know though, I know he was very demoralised last year and had big problems with the spoofer so maybe (hopefully) he can turn things around. I sincerely hope so and I want to see him see out his contract as next year he'll be ten years with us and I think the man deserves a testimonial.

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    Owen Heary is probably the best player in the league.
    Jason Byrne was one of the most over-rated. His scoring per chance average is moderate. He gets a sh!tload of chances and scores some of them.

    Are you sure? Now I haven't seen Jason Byrne in a few years (damn you First Divsion, Damn you) but his record speaks for itself. He was the League's top scorer for FOUR years and he notched FIVE goals in the Champions League.

    Well Jason Byrne has been top scorer the past few seasons so he obviously hasnt been overated. He does what he's paid to do.

    You can only base on what you see, but that notwithstanding I`d go for
    Neale Fenn
    Darren Mansaram
    Gareth Farrelly
    Stephen Ward
    Bobby Ryan
    Alan Moore
    Glen Crowe
    Chris Breen

    & I still feel our own Kevin Deery has a lot of improvement to make, IMHO he`s living off a few wonderstrikes & needs to develop a more complete midfield game.

    Jason Byrne is worse than useless when he's lacking in confidence, which happens fairly often.
