The team on the end of the defeat don't have the problems Galway had imo.

Changes should have been made a long time ago but alas nothing was done. You simply can't teach an old dog new tricks!

I know he doesn't give much of an impression of being in charge but it's a bit unfair to disown him straight after he got his first win in ages.

I thought Cork looked good on Saturday. If Kavanagh hadn't have butchered a certain goal at the start of the second half, I'd have fancied them to go on and win it. They were light years ahead of the side that came to Tallaght and really offered nothing outside of a scrappy goal.

Pats 3 up against shels tonight

Live score said it was 4 but changed it to 3 nil

**Dalymountrower** · 15/04/2013, 8:33 PM

4-0. Difficult to see where Shels will get another point before the end of the first series of games

**nigel-harps1954** · 15/04/2013, 8:50 PM

BREAKING NEWS: Shelbourne finish the game with 11 men.

It's the little things.

Onwards and upwards.

Shels keeper Ger Hanley poor for 2 of the goals,the rest of the team a bunch of ordinary players imo.Pats had another 2 goals disallowed in the 2nd half as they turned the screw!

**oriel** · 15/04/2013, 10:04 PM

What's the general opinion of shels fans now, assume you would like Matthews out, and soon, but who would come in?

Any former players available, sometimes not a bad shout to lift morale a bit, what about former managers, I can't see Keely going back again. Pete Mahon?

The problem is,until this is sorted its going to become just an easy 3 points for whoever you play.

**Jofspring** · 15/04/2013, 10:15 PM

The problem for any new manager coming in to Shels is they have a poor enough team assembled as much as a manager having them underperforming. It would be a tough job to take over at this stage. In saying that any results that are better than the current ones would probably be considered a good start for him.

**nigel-harps1954** · 15/04/2013, 10:20 PM

So, why did Shels change keeper for the night? I thought young Burdon was one of the few shining lights in an otherwise shocking start to the season?

**pineapple stu** · 15/04/2013, 10:36 PM

Ha! We're off the bottom with that result.

Wow.

**PartySaint** · 15/04/2013, 11:09 PM

Shels.....HA!

**wonder88** · 15/04/2013, 11:20 PM

Hanley was in goal for Shels on friday v Drogheda. It was my first time to see them this year and I thought their captain (Cassidy?) was decent enough player and Philly Hughes, Brennan and Dean Kelly showed glimpes of ability upfront so I would still give them a chance of avoiding relegation. People need to remember that there are two other bad Dublin/Wicklow clubs in the premier divison this year. Hope to go down to Limerick and see how Thomond is working as a soccer ground tomorrow.

Groin injury according to his twitter: https://twitter.com/Niiaalll

Makes sense. Hanley is a very good goalkeeper, but I do feel it's too soon yet for him to play Premier Division football. Another year or two in the First Division would have done him the world of good.

I'm pretty sure Cassidy would have been playing for Drogheda.

He's 22 now. Still young enough for a keeper but Burdon is 19 and no one is suggesting he play in the first division

2 very poor errors for Forrester's 1st & 3rd goals

**Town Legend** · 16/04/2013, 11:07 AM

Didn't Burdon playing with Rennes youth team in France? He would of got plenty of good experience from top class French coaches I'm sure. Could be wrong though.
