So its not 450k?

Not 449 or 451 but exactly 450k that what my ass says.

EDIT how the fook can it be the highest if noone from anywhere knows it?

i dont know. not sure who made that claim. some of the figures being touted in the media certainly would have eclipsed 450k anyway, even before "bonus" payments. i've a feeling they found the story in the same orifice as yourself though.

Flicked over to Burton Sombody vs Forest Green in the English fifth division for the sake of comparison, the teams in the Brit game were both more prepared to pass it around and keep possession but showed far less ability/ambition on the ball. They'd have had no chance of living with Fahey or Ndo IMO.

Note to Cork fans, I know you don't get to see many away games but if you did you'd realise it's common place for the home team to have most of the ball, it's the job of the away team to limit the number of chances/shots on goal and to make their possession count, as Dolo said last night ''Pats were brilliant''

i dont buy into that. a football pitch is a football pitch, and, for example, longford play the same way at home as away. its not as if many eircom league stadiums are intimidating cauldrons of hatred anyway.

What ? Have I missed a trail of crocked former internationals signed today by Pats ? Don't tell me we've signed Jason McAteer and Phil Babb.

**Risteard** · 13/03/2007, 10:54 PM

Just the one.

**BohsPartisan** · 14/03/2007, 8:58 AM

Brian Kerr is going to play?

**pete** · 15/03/2007, 2:45 PM

Des Byrne undisclosed transfer fee

Alan Bennet undisclosed fee

I see more "away" games than home games.

Pats are not league winners yet just like City haven't become useless overnight either.

IMO Ndo will miss more games for Pats due to injury this season than O'Flynn.
