Friendly Results

[Aaron]

Jaysus, you Derry lads don't half come across as bitter, in this thread.

Only giving my opinion

[Rovers fan]

Kronopka and Cronin are trialists. No point having them on trail and not playing them. Up front we will have Byrne hopefully fit for the start of the season, Mansaram and McGinley there too.

was mcginley not transfer listed?

[BohsPartisan]

was mcginley not transfer listed?

Yeah. He came on for Crowe though.

[kdjaC]

Sunderland reserves 1 Pats 1

we made 8 subs so starting 11 only

Ryan(clarke)
Brennan O Carroll(Foran) Paisley(partridge) Rogers
Ryan(haverty) Fahey Lynch Byrne
Quigley(fitz) O Neill(guy)


We looked solid O Carroll looks the dogs ****** big strong fast and has the touch of an arsenal player

Their goal came from a ryan kickout hitting one of theirs in the back of the head and trickling in

Our goal was possibly the greatest solo goal ever scored, quigley picked it up just inside our half danced by their entire midfield , skinned the 1st centreback then used his strentgh to push off some 7 foot monster before slotting it under the keeper.

We looked very solid in that they never troubled us and only had one shot, last 20 minutes we dominated them and should have one only for a sitter missed by someone

Any defence with Rogers at full back doesn't look too solid to me.

You know he used to play for them?

Aye real bitter !

We got shot of Fenlon and now have Stephen Kenny.

There's been a real run on citrus fruit in the shops in Derry, I can assure you.....

Roll on season's start...

[BohDiddley]

Another convincing friendly start to a season by Fenlon.

This time last year we lost 4:0 away to Dundalk. 1:0 at home to Monaghan uis an extremely poor result for a team with genuine title aspirations - Friendly or not.

My inner maths genius tells me that's a five-goal gap in performances, friendly, as you say, or not. If he keeps that differential he'll be ok!

Sounds like our Brian McCarthy who has been over on trial with them. Do you have the Sunderland line up?

[CharlesThompson]

That must be Bohs' strongest team?

Hardly, with Byrne, Hunt, Mansaram, Burns all out injured Murphy not starting and Oman going off injured after only 5 minutes. That's practically half of a starting 11.

That said, Monaghan looked like a bunch of auditioners for the Rolly Poly's and on paper at least Bohs should have won easily. FWIW, I thought Monaghan were unlucky not to go in at half time with a lead as they had the best of the opportunities in the first half.

Bohs owned the second half and Turner scored a lovely goal into the top corner from the edge of the box.

Now factor in the away vs home element, and the differential in ability between Dundalk and Monaghan, and see how unconcerned you should be.....

Can't argue with that - i was shocked at the state of some of our players. I know we don't pay them a lot, but still to be a professional footballer and be as overweight as some of them were is theft from the people who pay their wages.

[WoodquayBoy]

Touchy !!
You guys should be humping Monaghan at home.

Er, was no one else a little bothered about this suggestion? Humping Monaghan? I dunno, maybe its an Ulster thing . . . .

[Magicme]

well its just a northern version of Rico's RRS isnt it??

How long ago was that match? For a friendly, it really must have stung.

Everyone humps Monaghan. It's because they're in Ulster.....

It was 12 months ago. Which is precisely the number of bites I'm hoping to get on this thread by bringing it up. Thank you for being No. 5.

It was an early sign of where our season was to end up going. No team with genuine title aspirations should be getting beaten 4:0 by a team in the division below - friendly or not, away or not. Hence why i drew a parallel with Bohs low score at home against a team much, much weaker than Dundalk.

Now who's for No.6 then.....?

[dcfcsteve]

Humped Red Handed (HRH)

Also stands for something else ironically....

[Magicme]

ha ha. I think I will add HRH to my name from now on!!

[lofty9]

ha ha. I think I will add HRH to my name from now on!!

Do we have to bow ma'am?

There will be no red carpet for HRH Magicme at the Brandywell on 23rd I can assure you!

Steve, I wouldn't get too worked up - Monaghan have to come to us for a friendly. You'll hardly be judging our season on the basis of that one performance.

[Magicme]

Yeah you should, you didnt exactly have a great season last year after playing us and only just about managed to dump us outta the cup. If you dont take our scalp I would be very worried!!
