I'll take that bet

Shocked. Mathews is everything Bray is not. He is like the Anti-Bray.

I see cork have appointed john dunleavey as captain for this season. Good see him doing well after having such terrible luck when over ay wolves. Know him well and hope he continues to improve still young enough to get another move across the water

You would have to factor in the evidence that dion fanning is one of the most clueless individual's drawing a wage with the 4th estate.

I thought the finale glossed over a poor game myself. Maybe cause we were losing for most of it mind.

If he isn't up to the job and results aren't good I'll have no problem admitting it. At the moment all I am saying is that his attitude is a breath of fresh air,   Its the same cliche ridden fresh air he always spouts. You pointedly missed the 'I need 5 players to compete' cop out clause in there. If he doesn't get his budget for these players its the boards fault he failed. The fact you can't see history repeating itself...   Stillhuntinghenry wrote: I'm looking forward to the first game now, where do ye lads play this weather?   The same place we have always played your Newco.   And while we are at it, do Rovers and Derry not have identical municipal stadium arrangments? What a dullard you are.

But he's right he does need 5 players but it's only to replace the ones he's let go mainly. Ruadhri Higgins and David Mcdaid were released last week and I understand that Kevin Deery will not be offered a new contract. Dean Jarvis is out of contract and having trials in GB, Osbourne wasn't offered a new contract, rafter has joined cork, madden has join you lot, Stewart Graecen has joijed some pub side in Scotland.

That's 8 out and we have brought 3 in, he needs at least 5 bodies and it won't effect the budget as he had removed some of out top earners above.

The stadium joke was tongue in cheek but obviously over your head ya headbanger

I'll give you a clue, the only place Derry Newco have played us in Dublin
