Best in the league.

Have a match myself tomorrow so won't even have that to console me when we're inevitably beaten.

AFAIK Baker to Fingal isnt a down deal yet, Or is Rice. Anyone heard anything?

**paulie_walnuts** · 29/07/2008, 1:06 PM

Baker undecided on Dundalk or Fingal.

Doyle from UCD to Dundalk could happen today.

If he hadn't fallen out with Gill, he might still be with Dundalk but I don't think it would have much effect on whether he was with UCD. We couldn't do with him either, he's probably worse than our current striking options which is saying a lot!

actually you prob could he'd prob have more goals than your top scorer matt greg. all last season he wasnt fit enough, but liam buckley seems to have got him and robbie doyle fit and there doing very well for us.

From what I've seen of Hynes, he's big and clumsy in the Darren Mansaram mould. However, he is physically strong and causes problems for the opposing defence.

he would be better on the ball but not as good in the air or holding up. makes more goals than he scores, set up 2 last night against limerick.

Hynes is a decent First Division standard forward. Not good enough for the Premier Division, and too slow (could still out-pace our defence though!).

you dont have to be quick to play in premier. look at myler, crowe, mooney, o neill, zayed, fitzpatrick, o brien etc, all not very quick but very good premier players.

No but you need a brain. And from talking with Peter Hynes in his Dundalk days he doesn't have one. Robbie (I want a world record for the amount of teams I play for) Doyle is a waste of space and he is not good enough even for me to lend him my fiancee's tights (effin Prima donna). How many goals has Doyle from open play?
Of the strikers that we let go the one I think is Gills biggest mistake is Flood. For what Flood said/did i don't think it warranted him to be dismissed from the club but thats in the past now. We won't care anyway come November when we are picking up the first division title.

You don't, but if you're not quick you need to be very good. Hynes is neither.

What do you mean as usual?
Last season we where muck I agree but we had an injury crisis that would of crippled the best teams in the country. When one player came back another 2 where injured. And no our pitch can not be blamed for it, as most injuries where picked up on the cabbage patches in this league. By the time our players came back they where not match fit and cobh and harps had an unbelievable momentum behind them to win the league. This season will go down to the wire I think you will agree and we will be fighting tooth and nail with the Shels, Waterford, Fingal for the title.

My Original assumption was always that a team win 3 or less defeats and a goals against target of less than 20 goals would win this league but I think we are looking at the lowest points finish for the champions

you cant blame injuries, every team suffers from injuries and suspensions throughout the season, it how you deal with them. thats y teams need good squads and not jus a good starting 11.
