Fair enough IMO.

**swano** · 27/05/2007, 2:22 PM

Wouldn't have many arguements with the team above although I'd have Ger O Brien at right back. Brilliant in every game so far in his 1st season in the premier.

**chippie0001** · 27/05/2007, 2:28 PM

Can't disagree with it too much, but the team with the best defensive record, Bohs, and not a single member of that defence in the team seems odd. As for the rest apart from Crowe, I would agree not many should be there.

We've believed for some time now we've the best keeper in the league so we're gonna disagree on the keeper!

Not as good as Ryan at the moment.

Murphy is a great 'keeper. Barry Ryan is much better though

**BohsPartisan** · 28/05/2007, 8:16 AM

Our Brian Murphy is pure class, obviously most of you won't have seen a lot of him yet but I recjon he's at least as good as Ryan. Time will tell I suppose. Also think Crowe deserves to be a starter in this team. Not only is he putting away his chances with very little service, his general play has also been superb.

He's been ok. But Quigley and ROD have been miles ahead of the rest.

So what does that make Ryan then? World class

Having seen both play on more occasions than any of the Pats fans, I firmly believe Murphy is the better keeper. Ryan has improved since he was with us but not enough to be better than Murphy.

**Risteard** · 28/05/2007, 10:21 AM

The very little i've seen of Crowe recently, he's been useless.
But i think he's probably always looked like that until he's got a goal chance which he's highly likely to tuck away.
Barry Ryans been the best keeer for the past year or two but the Shamrock

and Boh keeper have impressed me.
Devines still a good keeper but he's either on the start of a downward spiral or going through a bad spell.

Explain the highlighted part. Bearing in mind we're talking about current season, how have you seen Barry Ryan more than Pats fans?

Well I'd imagine I've seen him a fair bit more than you R. He's scoring goals but not only that, his general play has been superb. Hadn't much of a game against Cork I agree but other than that I can't fault him. The fact that he has been more or less forgiven by the Bohs faithfull already tells its own story.

Dessie Byrne is in the eleven-a-side team at left back. The team Pete posted is his selection I think.

I've seen Crowe twice and he was a different player in both games. First time was against Galway and I though he looked completely uninterested and lazy (admittedly the supply of ball was poor and Fenn beside him was no help).

The second time was against Longford and he was brilliant, having just scored twice in the league cup his confidence seemed to be up and he really wanted it. I'd say he loves playing beside Mansaram too, could be a quality target man. If Mansaram gets a goal or two I get the impression he could be a really top class player for Bohs.

**BohsPartisan** · 28/05/2007, 11:54 AM

Mansaram really needs to start converting one on ones, which of course is important for a striker to be able to do. Very frustrating as the rest of his game is very good.

I was replying to your quote saying "Murphy is a great keeper but Ryan is much better" which wouldn't seem to be only based on this season as it's impossible to have such a strong opinion at such an early stage of the season. Both are very good keepers but IMO Murphy is better and I know pats fans will think Ryan is better. Better to get non biased opinions after a full season to compare the two.
