Pat Scully claimed that Ger O'Brien is the best Right back in the country "by some distance".....cant agree with that, seamie coleman, mccallion,heary to name a few...personally, however slightly biased i think it has to be Seamus Coleman.

**Dodge** · 19/09/2007, 2:55 PM

Anybody who thinks its anybody but Heary is being ridiculous.

**Sniffer** · 19/09/2007, 2:55 PM

It's all about making the player believe in his own ability; O'Brien is certainly one of the most consistent number 2's around; don't know about the best. Coleman looks impressive and Owen Heary has proven pedigree. Not convinced about Eddie McCallion.

**NY Hoop** · 19/09/2007, 2:58 PM

Would imagine Scully meant this season. Heary wasnt up to much monday while Ger was very solid as he has been over the season.

*Wonders if anyone can name a time Ger O'Brien made a mistake*

**biscuit** · 19/09/2007, 2:58 PM

heary is a class act no doubt... its just i have rarely seen a right back get down the line on an overlap as much and as effective as coleman. It just marks him out as different class, and hes as solid as a rock on the back foot.

Agreed

Maybe 2-3 years ago, but he is now on the wane.

colm tresson i think one of the most underrated players going i mean you just have to look at are form without him.
maybe not the best but hes certainly up there

**adamcarr** · 19/09/2007, 4:53 PM

Neal Horgan is probably the most consistent player in the league, he would easily be up there with the best.

Isn't it nice to know that you can always depend on this forum being an absolute bastion of objectivity?

**Schumi** · 19/09/2007, 5:10 PM

Not like the completely objective Mr Scully.

**pineapple stu** · 19/09/2007, 5:16 PM

He's right though. Big difference.

At least Rovers' defensive record offers some weight to his argument. Some of the other names coming up here are ridiculous.

Let's take Bray for example. 41 conceded! Who let those in? The left back maybe???

**Celdrog** · 19/09/2007, 5:50 PM

Some good players there - wouldn't swap Brian Shelley for any of them all the same.
Actually I wouldn't swap Brian Shelley for all of them

Claret and blue glasses on

The keeper

**DmanDmythDledge** · 19/09/2007, 5:53 PM

Brian Shelly has been the best right full in the league this season but I'd still have Heary over him. Don't know how anyone can take Scully seriously.

This from the bloke who said Rovers "will clearly struggle this season."

**Tis-smeee** · 19/09/2007, 6:36 PM

Shelley and pat flynn are by far the best

**sligoman** · 19/09/2007, 6:48 PM

Does anyone care what Scully says? He's the most biased manager in the league, seriously, shams never deserve to lose apparently. It's always someone else's fault. Whatever he says, let it in one ear and out the other, it's the only way to bear the tripe he comes out with.

WHAT SCULLY SAYS ….
About last Tuesday's 0-1 League Cup defeat against Bohemians "That was probably the worst night of my managerial career. It was an appalling performance. We deserved to get beaten and have no complaints about the result.
