Everything you need is listed here

but eh Shamrock Lodge would be the best place to stay. Late bar and good food available there

There are two places you could be on about one is Higgins Bar (across the road from Garda barracks) and the second is the Riverside Inn (in the main square opposite the church)

Think your a bit harsh on him, especially as central cog in back line Kevin Murray was missing. We all have our own opinion but personally i think he has been one of our best players all year. He is one of the reasons why we have meanest defense in league, no doubt about that. As for Deasy, he will get his time and yes hes also a very good keeper.

**rambler14** · 04/11/2007, 10:58 PM

McCarthy hasn't played a full season! Deasy came in to the team in the middle of the 27 unbeaten run for 11 games i think and kept 8 clean sheets.
Now Murray was missing today and he was missing last week but r u seriously telling me ,Murray would have influenced Mons goal today that was all McCarthys faullt as was the goal in Shels last week.
Not only that the boy can't kick for biscuits and his decision making is poor. He's a good shot stopper and thats about it.
I'm not the only fan who feels this way there is fans over on the terrace who agree with me and i've talked to people on foot.ie at matches and they agree with me too.

**don ramo** · 04/11/2007, 11:17 PM

how may clean sheets did he keep 12, come on now lads, why is someone picked for bashing you could easily say the player who gave it away, or kicked it out, could go on, but McCarthy is a great keeper so he made maybe one or two mistakes, i wouldnt drop a player with his skills, takes more than a defence to keep that amount of clean sheets we have two very talented keepers at our club and we will need all there skills to keep us in the prem next year, so no bashing, the team get promoted as a team, i honestly couldnt pick a bad player this year,

now with a game to go lads who was player of the year, a lot to be said, is it one of our defenders, for the wall they built during the year, a midfielder for givin just as much bashing as they got, and running up and down st.colemans pitch so much they know where the worms manes, or one of our strikers for shooting us into the sky, hard decision, hate to be the one to make it,

Fair enough, as I said every one thinks different, Of course missing the normal centre half of Murrays quality in front of you makes a difference. And as u point out he was also missing last week when another poor goal was given away. McCarthy record speaks for itself Played 25 games conceded approx 10

Q why was dave the save brought in?

I'd go with Kevin Murray an absolute rock at the back. I loved watchin his charging runs up the pitch during the season

Especially down in Limerick a couple of weeks ago he must have ran the pitch 3 times. Not only that he's our biggest threat at corners and anytime we had a player sent off Murray just raised his game in order to protect the scoreline. Top Man Kev!

I thought we couldn't get worse than our 1st half performance in Shels but today we were absolutely shocking in the 1st half.
We need to find a penalty taker who doesn't miss more often than he scores for Saturday night.
Credit to Davin though, somebody had to step up and Davin was the man to do that took his goals really well, he should have had at least 2 more but who cares we won 2-1 and we are top of the league 1 point ahead with one game to go!

Muppet never heard so much tripe in life. Bilko has been unbelievable all season long, Deasy isnt up to it yet, and looked very shaky at times, where Bilko has been a saviour all season. Finn Harps away when we lost, Bilko was unbelievable, one of the best individual performances all season, fact. If we play like that im pretty sure we'll win the league, considering we missed two penos and all, and hit the crossbar twice.

Agree 100%, Rams attendances always sound miles off the mark,there was no bloddy way that there was the same amount people there than at the dundalk game. Defintly well over 2000 yesterday.

Your on foot.ie and nobody is agreeing with you, dont have the slightest how you can say bilko is dodgy, his handling away to dundalk won us the point that day too.

All this coming from an 18 year old student..Very experienced opinion

**rambler14** · 05/11/2007, 4:41 PM

Its just my opinion stop choppin me down over it. I'll admit hes not that bad a keeper but he makes for very nervous watchin.

**rammie** · 05/11/2007, 4:52 PM

A Squad wins or loses a league... individuals make mistakes. It is wrong to pick on any individual and focus on a particular performance... you have to judge a player over a season.

There is no question of this teams ability but a league winning team is also tested for mental strength.

7.45pm 10/11/07 ..... A very good Ramblers team

9.35pm 10/11/07...... LEGENDS

C'mon You Rams

**rambler14** · 05/11/2007, 4:55 PM

I don't want to have to defend my opinion again so no more of this please. By 9.35pm Saturday the lads will be legends and regular fixtures on Eircom League Weekly.
To prove my tune has changed Bilko will be Man of the Match on Saturday night.
