However ff ever there was a team where the sum is greater than the parts then Dundalk is it

Last nights Dundalk team vs our team that started at Wexford.

Rogers Clarke

Gannon O'Brien
Massey Bermo
Barrett Hoare
Boyle Dennehy

Sheilds Treacy
O'Donnell Kelly
Finn Timlin
Horgan Dennehy
Mountenay Conan

McMillan Christy

I'd definitely only take Finn, O'Donnell and Horgan. Might look at one or two others.

Dundalk's success is all down to Kenny. He lost Hoban's 20 goals, then he lost Towell and still managed to replace then with Davy McMillan who has suddenly become a goal machine. That is some achievement.

It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that there will be just as many Poles as Irish at the Aviva......

Clarke's an excellent 'keeper, but absolutely no way is he better than Rogers

I'd say they're about equal in terms of shot stopping but Clarkie has better distribution. I'd pick Clarkie ahead of Rogers every time.

Yeah, Rogers is a little too error prone. McNulty is probably best in the league. Not much between Clarke, Rogers and him though

So England's going to have 4 Champions League Group Stages places GUARANTEED from 2018. This is getting ridiculous.

So it's ridiculous x4.

After tonight's European games, an interesting stat is that of the Leagues ranked 30 to 54 in UEFA's Country Ranking, only Ireland has a team left in European competition. And of the teams ranked 29 and up, Sweden, Norway, Serbia and Belarus have no teams left.
