Yeah the old Pats are becoming a bit of a cash cow, two wins for me in 3 days not bad going by them. As long as they keep playing to my gambling thats good, will start backing them to lose soon

What did he play? 10 minutes?
Won a good few headers in that time aswell.

He's only 19 and has much better prospects than a few of the other "under-21s" about.

He lost more headers against tiny John Frost than he won. Rubbish IMO

What sort of crowds where at the two games last night?

**WeAreRovers** · 13/03/2007, 10:19 AM

2 quality goals from Pats. With Cork being rubbish and Drogheda hyped beyond reason Pats could spring a surprise this year. Shame it'll all go tits up when Molloy returns and McDonnell drops O'Neill for him.

BTW Drogheda have now failed to score in 3 competitive games.

Don't know if you meant it but your smiley looks like the average Drogheda scoreline!

One game into the league and already the dubs are claiming it's a done deal. Anyone would think this was your first eL season or something. Pats are drawing attention to themselves and will be lucky if they manage to last the pace until the summer.

I would say about 3500 at the Brandywell. Give or take a few 100.

We had about the same.
20 odd Pats.

You're only setting yourself up for a big fall and I'll be there to point and laugh, when it does happen.

**wws** · 13/03/2007, 10:54 AM

hehe

no ones signing

but in the pats related hysteria i thought id wind u up a bit more!

**Dodge** · 13/03/2007, 11:03 AM

Have to laugh at carkies saying others are setting themselves up for a fall. Wheres the world domination plan gone lads? Reading no doubt, along with any other talent you had...

Cork are in a sad state. Its embarressing for the league to have such a poor team representing Ireland's biggest town in Europe this year. Just thank god its the inter toto and won't affect our co-efficient. Gamble looked lost against proper midfielders in Kirby and Fahey and without Bennett to cover him Murray was shown up for the slow fat waster he is. Good luck to O'Donovan getting a move to england with those perforrmances. Although if Robbie Doyle can get a deal with Macclesfield, who knows. John Caulfield and Pat Morley must be turning in their graves looking at Dennis Behan up front. And out 50 fans made a mockery of yours. Then again if Pats were destroyed at home by a team that flirted with relegation last year I'd be quiet too

What lofty9 said:

It was just unfortunate that there was noone else there really. There is absolutely no way Beckett is an out and out striker that's for sure. We really missed Farren last night. Fenlon's played two upfront in all his games previous to last night and same at Shels so barring more injuries expect the same at Linfield.

A bit strange Drogheda playing for a draw

Not in the slightest.

Jeez, hope you've a tissue or a stocking handy.
Good times at Inchicore, huh?
Enjoy it.

**superblues** · 13/03/2007, 11:25 AM

Or maybe Roy could start putting in the effort the Blues did last friday instead of mouthing on about it being our cup final and not taking into concideration that we might just have been the better team on the night, or that our managers motivational skills are better than rico's. If he's gonna make it then every game should be a cup final for him.

**Peadar** · 13/03/2007, 11:28 AM

They get a couple of breaks from defensive mistakes and cream themselves. Peaking in the first week of the season would be worrying for levelheaded fans of most clubs. Ah well, leave them off, they're just not familiar with how things work at the top.
