"apparently" fenlon was in england during the week looking at some un-attached keepers.
Although if they were un-attached you would have to wonder at what he was watching them doing?
Also, if they are unattached they must be no good. Why would they be unattached if they were any good.

Apart from the top flight in England, money is very tight and there are literally hundreds of players every season let go and haven't been able to find a new club.
You'll be suprized with how good some players are who are unattached.
Every player Linfield signs are free players and we have argueably the best squad on the island.
We've also had players in the past who where unnached - Phil Charnock, Kenny Irons & Paul Dalglish who where all good players.
Saying that there are some terrible ones to Fitzrooy Simpson to name one(who is a former internional 40 odd caps or more and played in the Premiership regulary for Man City).

Is Angel unattached, because if not how did new york get him outside the transfer window?
I believe they have different transfer windows to the UK and Ireland.

Was Downey free?

The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Sorry forgot about that, he has been injured for most of his time here. He cost 5k.
My point anyway was, there are many good unattached/free players about. Linfields squad nearly all freebies.

Their defence is gone to crap.
Derry might be able to get away with the odd defensive error to poor players and teams in games like this but will be made pay by the better teams.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

We've played this Setanta cup with a lot of fringe players and have beaten the LOIs 2 biggest favourites.
We are unbeated in 15 group games in the Setanta and have been the most consistant team in the Setanta over the last 3 years.
Topped the group last season with the two teams who came first and 2nd. We have topped the group this season who are 1st and 2nd favourites.
So why should I not believe it? I've now produced my proof behind my comment, you now disprove it.

We'll see how you do in Europe.
Coincidentally, you've forgotten to mention the Setanta is partly a pre-season tournament for Eircom League teams.
Its impossible to compare like with like with two different seasons.
But you havent played the saints yet.
The UEFA rankings show that our league is much btter than yours and you have not won your league by all that much. Furthermore your performances in Europe have been pathetic year in year out while Eircom league sides are progressing more than 2 rounds in some cases against some rated sides.
The setanta cup comes at a time when Eircom league sides are only getting into the swing of things while Lingfield and all have much of their season behind them so the fact that you are amateur is eliminated by that. If the same competition started in August no Ni team would qualify for the next round.
Also, you forgot to mention the fact that Eircom league sides have to play much bigger games at weekends than Lingfield et al taking a lot of focus away from their midweek matches. A big difference between playing Bohs at the weekend to playing Dungannon Swifts. Lingfield have basically a rest every weekend.

I would say 90% of the eircom league players were released by english clubs at some stage.

I knew you would use Europe.
Lets look at the basic facts here.
We play in Winter, we don't kick a ball in anger for over 2 months. When you played in Winter you got embarrassing results to.
The Setanta cup starts at the end of your pre-season but hte majority of the tournement is played during our business end of the season when our players face burn out and your players are all fresh and close to match fit.
When Europe comes round you are mid season when your fitness levels are obviously going to be at your peak.
And also who was comparing leagues? I wasn't I was comparing Linfield to the best you have and to be honest, your best is no better than Linfield. Our results against your best at any time of the Setanta has proven this.
2 years on the trot we where in the so called group of death and came out top both times quite convincingly.
We have nothing to prove, we have already done that.

So anyone got any idea who is going to replace him? I think it could be Felix Healy again?My prediction of Fenlon being the 1st manager to get the sack are getting closer by the match.
He has the same problems as he had with Shels at the back last season. Also, Farren is wasted with the system he plays. I cannot see Derry winning anything this season under such a poor manager. While Gorman's track record is getting sacked from a 1st Div side.
Pats looked good but Derry were so bad they made Pats look good. The structure of the team has been destroyed similar to what he did at Shels. Looking forward to a Harps-Derry match in the cup. Easy

Was he looking at the bench tonight? He might have noticed a €50,000 price tag hanging over the UCDD reserve keeper.
Have to say, Derry were very poor tonight. We had plenty of time to get the ball, pass it around, do what we wanted. They were maybe a bit unlucky not to get the draw, but I don't think a fully-pro team like Derry should be losing at home to a part-time team like us with so little fight. They only really got interested after we scored.
The last time we won in Derry, their manager resigned within half an hour. Hasn't happened yet, but maybe by the next game?
City aren't fully pro. I thought it was only Linfield fans who didn't get this....?
Are they not? I don't tend to read threads involving youz and Linfield.
Oh well. Yez were muck tonight anyway.
