What an honour it is to be listening to that bloke and his fecking bell.
Possibly one of the greatest football legends of our time. What a time to be alive!

Bazunu is the main reason that Trafford's hopes of being the youngster City promote might be a tad hopeful. It's between him and Kelleher for Ireland's #1 spot going forward and Bazunu is preferred by the coaches.

That's all I can hear at the moment, that guy and his bell. Anyone else would've been booted out the stadium. So annoying.


Just imagine listening to that every match, urgh.



Game playing out as per expectations. Both teams committed and trying.

That cross from Gethin wasn’t so much Back Stick as Winter Hill Mast.

Not impressed with Sadlier tonight. One good touch through to Dapo, everything else has been pish. Heavy touches. Acres of space and isn't crossing the ball.

Not been the worst game I've seen between the two boxes. Not much in 'em. Best chance us, methinks, good save their keeper.

Would disagree! He’s been our best outlet going forward and whilst he’s put a couple of bad balls over he’s also delivered a couple of good ones - more than anyone else. He’s clearly not a wing back, I’m not even sure he’s being asked to play there, but I’d rather he had it on the edge of the box than anyone else.

We’re not doing that bad - but we’ve wasted more than we’ve created in the final third…that’s what needs sorting. Defence is playing well but they will find that spare man at some point - we are riding our luck.

Interesting that you think differently. I'm in DJBlu's camp here in that I think he's been poor. Wrong decision cutting inside quite often and bad touches. Not necessarily terrible but not performing to his level. I'd say Dempsey has been stand out with some of those passes out wide, although those haven't led to much.

Game of opinions innit. I don’t think anyone can argue he’s positive - and that he’s not being played in the right position.

Well as usual I've just got in and the kettle is straight on. Hopefully we'll have a second half improvement 😁

Santos subbed. He’s been superb tonight - that spells trouble.

No chance he's come off with anything other than a knock.

Exactly. I'd much rather be proved wrong if he's playing well so your opposite opinion is very much welcomed.

Aimson on for Santos is a concern, but if we're considering this game a dead rubber then i'm not sure what difference it makes in the main.
