    Jeez, what did I start...
    I was only messing, a bit.

    Everyone's so serious...
    Just chill, as dalymount regular Bob Marley would say.

    Luke Byrne has barely played over the past couple of seasons and is arguably the third choice left back for a side in a ten team league, probably a bit of a stretch to say he's one of the best in it when you'd probably have to have at least seven others over him off the top of my head (Clarke/Kavanagh/Massey/Jarvis/Bermo/Griffin/Leahy). Hope he turns it around all the same as it's a shame that he's had such bad luck in the last few years.

    There are some other decent left backs around - Waterford have two of them in Garry Comerford and Dylan Barnett; Regan Donelan at Sligo and Kevin Lynch at Bray also; Jack Doyle at Derry was excellent before his loan spell concluded. I don't know much about the first division, but Conor Kane at Drogheda was impressive in the single game I saw.

    Did I say they were our two left wingers or that they were signed as wingers? Between you and Ez you should just about be able to work that one out. Players can play multiple positions too.

    Some of the other Rovers galacticos left backs mentioned vary between dire (Gilchirst) and inconsistent (Byrne) or are in the has-been (O'Brien) or unproven (Brandon Kavanagh / the fast under 19 whose name you don't know) category


    John Mountney is a midfielder and doesn't play left back, although both Dean Jarvis and Dane Massey have competed strongly with each other for the regular left back spot at Dundalk this season
    How does one become an accidental full back now? Can you even point to one game you've seen him play midfield since Trevors injury?
    You're the only one who's mentioned Gilchrist. O'briens has been now is he? And Brandon Kavanagh is a full back? Thats some serious ****e to be coming out with even by your standards Ez.
    The U19 is Abulu btw.

    Yes - against Dundalk in Oriel Park a couple of weeks later.

    Luke Byrne started left back (he was useless) and Seán Kavanagh was selected on the left side of midfield (he had a decent game)

    That was the match where Dan Carr scored the first goal of the season that Dundalk conceded in the league

    I heard McNamee could be heading back to Derry lately, any truth to it?

    Did that take you the full hour to Google or just part of it? You'll surely remember so that Miele came on for Byrne in that game and Kavanagh played even better from full back.

    Stop digging.

    You asked about games that I've seen where Kavanagh played in midfield.

    For what it is worth I have seen Shamrock Rovers play 5 times against Dundalk this season (Rovers won once, drew once and were beaten three times) - Trevor Clarke didnt play in any of them

    Luke Byrne played left back in four of these, the exception being the last league game, which is the only one where Sean Kavanagh was selected at Left back. He started in midfield in the 5-2 mauling in Tallaght and in the 2-1 Dundalk win in Oriel; he also came on as a midfield sub in the 0-0 in Tallaght. Of the five matches Kavanagh played in four of them and featured in midfield in 3 of those

    If I was you I'd be less worried about us and more worried about staying in th ed premier for 2024 and years the new dalyer
    if we need any advice about relegation we know the model club to ask 😎
    Easier to believe your manager thought the halfwit you played was good enough than accept Supple knocked you back ? Now THATS bitter 😉

    Seems likely. Not worked out particularly well for him with us, and he can't be enjoying playing out of position.

    Wasn't a large part of the reason McNamee left Derry and went to specifically Cork (and was linked to Limerick initially) that he's going to college down in Limerick?

    Never heard that, but we train mornings so unless he's part time I doubt it.

    No. That was never true. No idea where the rumour came from. We had agreed to sign him long before the link with Limerick came up.

    Yep. Decent player, I thought, and really gave his all on the field. Will do well at Larne.
    Just disappointing that we've lost him, though considering he won't be paid with us until the new year, can hardly blame him.

    He did one of the more bizarre bits of kicking out I've seen against Limerick a few weeks ago. Duggan went past him in midfield and he just took a swipe at him, for no real reason at all. Just took the yellow and walked away.

    No needle in the game (in general, or between him and Duggan), and you were already ahead and coasting.

    It was just strange to see.
