Greg is no. 8 I thought. Is 6 not murray? We were lucky in a way to get points because we didn't look like scoring, but on the other hand we did have a lot of possesion. Maybe that was the bit of luck we needed to get out of the rut we're in at the moment?

Be fair Doc, their best player scored in Dublin on Friday, just not for them. I think he'll manage to keep their heads above water until Dolan cops on that his over-physical ****e isn't going to work on hard grounds against better prepared teams.

Gregs shooting was absolutlety pathetic alright. I thought we deserved a point and all though people say we were run over in the first half Doyle, Carey and George all went close.


Spillane is an idiot, probably wasnt even at the game. Bill George is a much better journalist and he doesnt write for that toilet paper the Echo.

Greg O'Halloran is a full back not a midfielder.

Lads, shame on me, left with 10 minutes to go.
The game was awful, one of the worst I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of games.

Pats like Albania got exactly what they deserved.
After the goal, they showed no interest in pushing on whatsoever and were deservedly pegged back.
We tried hard but never looked like we were going to score, good City crowd that created an good atmosphere. Th ehome crew were fairly muted from where I was sitting.

Needless to say I learned my lesson and stayed til the final whistle on Saturday.

If it was Greg's shooting that was talked about then ya he is crap but at least he has the right idea,Behan does too.I know it's a radical idea,really out there but...................perhaps if we shoot more instead of trying to walk it in we might score a few.

[Éanna]

We need players other than george and flynn to get amongst the goals, whats the harm in having a go? Yeah, we didn't look like scoring, but razor is spot on-pats deserved it for sitting back like they did.

One other interesting thing- just saw highlights on chorus, when Bird scored he went over to Collins and then sarted snogging his crest in front of dolan- looked like he had some kind of point he wanted to make; maybe thats behind the rumours of Dolan losing the plot? Any pats fans able to shed some light on this?

I think there was more than just Bird at it. Dolan got a very hard time from some people, and it's hard to figure out why.
OK, his last season was not the best, but the reception from some sections was uncalled for.

Where was Careys shot and Georges in the first half. Careys was one of our best moments but just dissapeared of the coverage. The old man still doesnt believe me he had a shot inside the box.

You're obviously new here. Dolan's situation at Pats is extremely difficult to explain and I've tried many times so I'm not going to again.

He got an OK reception (obviously better in the stands than the terrace) but he's gone now and lets hope he never comes back. The thing with Doyle was hilarious. We were giving him the "Dolan Rent Boy" stick when our PA (the chairman's dad) asked people to stop booing. (he has never done this before and for some players we've been a bit more vociforous) As soon as he said that the whole camac and parts of the stand start booing. Everybody knows that a large number of players fell out with Dolan over the past 3/4 years and I think the players (and Bird) show that they were delighted that Eamonn Collins was now manager.

On the game it was poor and we were in control until about 70 minutes when we just stopped playing. Cork had all the ball then but didn't know what to do with it. Your first shot on target scored. Brilliant goal. I thought your man Behan was poor but what a strike. I felt physicazlly sick after the game so apologies to lads of 451 who I said I'd meet for a pint after the game

(Didn't get a good look at our Penalty so won't comment)

Collins said something after the game about how everyone was pulling together for the club (or something to that effect) unlike the last few years!

Ahhh com'on now Dodge, hardly our first shot on target, Adamson had made a few very good saves before that, one from Carey and one from George spring to mind. Not sure about Pats being in control, once ye scored yer goal Bird ecame very isolated up front, ye were happy to sit back and defend, almost worked too.

[Dodge]

I honestly can't remember you having a shot on target* and when I mean in control I mean you didn't trouble us. I'm not saying we troubled you either... (like I said poor game) And it was only in the last 20 mins that Cork had any sort of pressure

*[SIZE=1]I could be wrong but I wasn't the only Pats fan to think so and I'm not saying you didn't deserve the draw either[/SIZE]
