Atleast 8? you were watching/playing the wrong match,keith mc had one chance,the young winger hit the post and the tall striker missed a one on one at the start,thats only thing i had to do in the match

1 goal at the very end of each half for mungret,i though we deserved a draw,we didnt take our chances.

Have to say, Mungret are looking good at this early stage, and are surely favourites for the league, averaging 3 goals per game and only conceeding less than 1 per game (on average).

They have however played all of their 5 league games at home, which has its pros and cons, but overall, they are 2pts clear of second with a game in hand.

I leave that to the center half's

I think mungret will go on to win the league but everyone likes playing at home,it would seem now between mungret/shannon and geraldines for the top two places so who ever can take points of either teams will be champions

i'm glad you said imo, this year its good to see the mungret lads staying quiet on this site,last year imo a lot of people thiught they were getting a bit ahead of themselves,even at this early stage you have to fancy them to go up,as abbeyvale said the goals for is good but for me the goals against is the statistic you should go by,keeping clean sheets gives everyone confidence,

**Ballsy** · 20/10/2008, 6:35 PM

Its early days yet..who knows what'll happen wit injurys and players being away.its very early days yet all the games they've played have been at home.it'll be interesting to see how they get on when playing on the poorer pitches.

**dines08** · 20/10/2008, 6:57 PM

mungret are excellent going forward but it is possible to get at them at the back...i know a few of their players well and up front and especially wide midfield they are excellent...grinding out results is gonna define their season when it comes to their away games after christmas...i definately think they're the team to beat and anyone who finishes above them will win the league...from our point of view just goin on the squad we have and the way things are goin i think everyone involved wit the dines would be disappointed if we didn't go up...thats definately the aim, we know its gonna be very tough tho

It'll be 2 from Mungret, Dines, Summervile and Star IMO.
Think Shannon will fall away.

Prospect will fall away i think,the star team i played against at the start looked very good even tho we had a few donkeys in our team at the time they had a good team on paper also and im supprised they are not near the top,i havent played against summerville but from what i heard they were not that good,i think most of the teams would struggle at the moment in premier

is mungret the only league game on this weekend?

**leather** · 21/10/2008, 9:49 AM

By the sounds of it that Roche fella would want to watch his back if that young lad Cussen is as good as you reckon leather. What do you think about it Dallas have you seen Mike Cussen play? Do you think he is better than James Roche?

No I can't say that I have had the pleasure of watching him but who knows it's always good to have competition for places in a team. I have seen him play GAA alright and he is a big strong lad but I don't know if he his better or not.
