Won the first peno (missed by James Clarke) hit the post for the goal, McDaid scoring from the rebound, then hit the bar with the second peno. Fairly poor game in crap conditions.

His brother plays for Chelsea.

I’d agree with that, the first half had nothing in it really. Rovers were probably slightly better but neither side created any proper chances. The 5 changes rovers made at half time were game changers in terms of fresh legs and obviously playing ability. Some of the pats players looked dead on their feet after about an hour. With 12 subs being made in the game it was hard to gauge a lot from it but the one thing it did point out to me was the serious squad depth at rovers. The squad depth is incomparable to anyone else in the league and that’s without Lopes, Byrne or Burke even on the bench. I reckon they’ll have to be majorly off song for at least 15 of the 36 games this season if anyone is to have a chance of catching them and I personally can’t see that happening

Plus McEneff and Kenny also missing …… thought Burns looked liked a great addition.. looking forward to him , Clarke , Kenny and Farrugia in the same starting 11…… their pace will give us an extra dimension

His brother plays for Chelsea.

Big physical presence up front but never been much of a goalscorer nor too highly rated at the levels he's played at. He's one of those funny cases where he was signed by a club to basically keep his brother happy, which is how he ended up at Villa. He'd probably do a good job of replacing some of what Afolabi offered Bohs though.

Worryingly comfortable for Rovers last night. I usually prefer to lose the Presidents Cup.

Pats looked well off the pace for most of the night although they did create a few chances against our somewhat makeshift right sided defence in the second half. Wingback still looks like an issue for us if Clarke and Farrugia aren't on the field. Clarke ran amok last night while he was on.

Stadium looks the business. Pats crowd was excellent. Hope we are able to give them the entire East Stand this season. Better chance of filling the stadium and the atmosphere would be great.

Decent record in PL2 7 goals 5 assists in 9 games. So there is something there and he's 21 or 22 so could just need some fine tuning. If he won one of the penos, hit the bar then he at least had an impact on the game and I'll take that from a forward especially since Bohs are very light up front at the minute.

Harps 2 Rovers 1 today

Harps 2 Rovers 1 today

Would be very worried if I were a sligo fan. They looked dreadful.

Harps well organised and full value for the win.

There’s no one wouldn’t bite your hand off for 8th

Difficult to put stock in pre season games, we looked well organised which is more than can be said for the clown we had in charge last season....

That's fair, should have specified at senior level! Was part of a very talented Villa U23s that also had the likes of his brother, Aaron Ramsey, Jaden Philogene, Tim Iroegbunam and others who'll go on to have big careers. Stood out physically in those games but when that levelled out in men's football hasn't shown the quality so far, but the LOI isn't that kind of league so could see him really being a nuisance here.

[RealJohn91]

Yeah that's the thing with our league at times. A player like Andre Wright who had a similar record to this lad in England looked half decent for Bohs but the second he went back across the water dropped like a stone through the leagues.

Munster Senior Cup semi tonight - Tommy Barrett has already indicated that Treaty's line-up will be distinctly more youthful than Friday's, but while there may be some Kerry rotation, it'll likely be a reasonably strong XI as the Kingdom endeavour to reach the provincial final.

[2 Year Contract]

St Mochtas v Dundalk
Maynooth v shels

[culloty82]
