city1 rovers 1. JUST 2 QUESTIONS

**razor** · 13/01/2003, 10:43 AM

I was disappointed we only got a draw, we were by far the better team and deserved all 3 points.

I thought JOF tried and tried and Warren was excellent also. Conor O'Grady is not the same player since his injury and was poor.
Hoggie is an unsung hero and ran all night long, great heart.

Interested to see Gunther make the changes that were the most obvious, that doesn't happen often.

Anyone know why he was sent off ?

Giving a VERY deserving ref a bit of lip. Probably hurt his feelings too much.

one thing lads

about o'grady

you all seem to have short memories-i agree that he didnt have a good game but he was our player of the season in his first year and after that season he has been dogged by injuries

he could be the perfect midfielder when he is fit with a few games behind him

he was excellent before his injuries

That�d be ok by me

rico seemed to know what he wants- he always talks about the talent in the munster area waiting to be found!!! he is the kind of manager that wouldnt put up bwoods lazyness and he would a bit character or charisma to the club-well he would a manager who isnt afraid to change things and has a good knowledge of tactics-of which gunther is r�tard�d

he would be fine with me aswell

heard a few rumours that this might actually be happening

**yan** · 15/01/2003, 9:39 AM

lennox did say he was going to appoint a director of football so maybe-hopefully-that will be murphy's new position and rico takes over as manager

Agree with you 100%. O'Grady was class last season. He got injured early this season, was brought back too early and has suffered since. He limped off in Longford. He'd prob be better off leaving it for this season and concentrating and making it back fully fit in a few months.

He is a good player but you need games to get on form.

**�anna** · 15/01/2003, 12:58 PM

o�grady was excellent last year, and has been unlucky with injuries this season. but fact is there�s only 2 places available at centre-mid and IMO based on recent form, Greg and Rennie are the most deserving candidates. sounds harsh, and maybe it is, but form is what counts.

Hold your thunder there, oddboy. Flashback: 1993/94 season, City, by far the best team in the League, manage to lose it by 7 points with, you've guessed it, Rico as manager. I rest my case.

Murphy Out Now!!!

So ??
All I said was "Gunther is moving sideways and Rico will be the manager !!!! "
I made no comment on whether it is a good or bad thing.

who would you have as manager so, and please don't say Dave Hill?

Though Hilly is doing quite a good job with Cobh, I don't think he has enough experience to be ready for a job as big as CCFC.....just yet. There isn't exactly alot of managerial talent floating around at the moment, but, I don't think we should be so blind as to rush in and assume Rico will solve all our problems 'cause he won't!

For a start, I don't think Rico is the answer to all our problems, but I do think he could take the senior team farther than LM.
Looking around the league, S. Kenny seems to be the best manager, but he will not leave Bohs. I personally do not think Buckley, Fenlon or mcCue are very good, Doolin and Matthews seem to have done a fair job, Dolan and Devlin won't move, nor will Mahon I think. Jimmy McGeough seems to be on the ball but would he move?
So of those currently in the el, I think Matthews, McGeogh would be good choices.
I don't know of anyone in local/junior soccer who I think would be up to the job, though there may be a few. So unless someone comes in from abroad, I think Rico is the best pick at the moment.
Maybe Aldo ??

or......Robbo.....

F**k it, might as well consider Peter Reid while we're at it!

**niamh** · 16/01/2003, 5:20 PM

of course it is form that counts, but Greg is needed elsewhere it appears.

So you think we shouldn't rush in to anything, yet you finish all your posts by saying Murphy Out NOW. Either you want change or you don't. What is your problem with Rico anyway, you said that there isnt a lot of managerial talent floating around at the moment so surely Rico has to be the pick of who we could realistically get.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned Rico is our saviour.

**James** · 16/01/2003, 6:23 PM

damn righht colmn

rico is the best one available and ready to come into the city setup now, were murphy to go.

Rico for City

**niamh** · 16/01/2003, 6:25 PM

it seems to be that way anyway. but then think of TV3's coverage - the could have King one week and Gunther the next. comprehensive, insightful analysis...

can see it now...so why do you reckon that Shels did not win tonight Liam?
"dey were unlucky I guess"
