Great result for us. McGuinness and Foran both potentially out for the next game V Shels.
They will walk by shels!Quote:

Quigo could fix that though once he gets fit againQuote:

Shels look to have found themselves a decent keeper in Burdon, he had a terrific game today. A couple of weeks into the season and I have to say judging by the games I've seen live or on the box the standard is dropping (again). Only half decent game was us V Drogheda and the best performance was probably Rovers V a crap Linfield, which makes it a hard one to make a judgement on. Haven't seen Sligo yet but going by reports they look to be the standard setters. The one common denominator has been the atrocious state of the pitches. Hopefully if the weather picks up we'll see an improvement
This Elding lad for Sligo sounds like a beast. Rovers are like us from last season, have most of the ball but no real cutting edge yet and keeping loads of clean sheets.
With the 2 postponed games our season hasn't really started yet. Judging by the Drogs game we could be title contenders, judging by the Rovers game we are relegation candidates.
This! They will do well against the good sidesQuote:

Are they clutching to the same bullshit we were at the start of last season? Still undefeated, it can only pick up from here, best defence in the league (obviously something to be proud of at the end of the season, not as much a few games in), 4 clean sheets in 4 games, our passing game will be better when the pitches are better in the summer.
As Sligo have shown them it's no good keeping clean sheets if you can't put them in down the other end which is why they have 3 times as many goals and twice as many points.
Man for man we have a better defence than them anyway.
Not entirely sure about that. Oman and McGuinness have six league winners medals between them plus a few FAI and Setanta Cups. There's no real arguing with that. Much of a muchness between the FBs for me, though happy with the two we have.Quote:

Yeah but Flynn was signed to start at centre half. He missed the first two games due a club applied suspension for the sending offs in pre-season. Be mad to break up a team that just won you your first point but it is Mathews...Quote:

Did shels suspend him when they didn't have to??Quote:

He didn't do a humourous ditty about his team mates already did he?Quote:
