WE'VE GOT TO GET MOVING!
The seasonal greeting, pass ing back and forth a week or two ago, has
had rather a hollow ring as far as we ore concerned. To date it has not
been a happy new year in these par ts , what with losing out in ;the
Leinster Cup replay, going under to Shels last Saturday, and having more
players on the in jured li st than at any time this season. However, don't
go away think ing that we are completely sunken in lugubrious thoughts
for such is not t he case; despite one thing and another, and eve n the
two together, we fee l that we are now du e a smi le from Dame Fortune
and that, that fickle lady may do so to-day . Our League rating is in
urgent need of improvement and let us hope that later this afternoon
we ca n congratul.ate our players on taking the first steps in this current
yea r to get us away fr om the berth we now occupy .
After two games we bid farewe ll to hopes of hold ing the Le inster Senior
Cup for 1952/ 53 and despite every effort mad e we re forced to give in
to our old Milltown ri va ls. Our lads made a g reat fight and even if the
trophy was no t to be theirs a goodl y share of the honours of the tussle
goes to them . To Shamrock Rovers we exte nd our congratu lati ons on their
victory and also on the sporti n9 manner in which they played on both
our meet ings . Both teams may l_ook back on these deciding games with
the thought that they played hard and fair and in so doing reflected
credit on the clubs to whicl] they bel ong .
In the top flights of the League table the strugg le knits closer and
a terrific fini sh seems assured . Team . of the moment is, undoubtedly,
Evergreen United, for they have come right fr om behind to stake their
claim for consi deration and with victories over Qundal k, Drumco ndra and
St . Patric k's in successive weeks passports may well go places before the
tourney run s its course .
And if Evergree n can s h~ k e off the dol drums so can we.

On seve ral occa sions I have writ te n in this column on that "charging
th e goa lk eepe r" o rob lem, for it is a subj ec t on which , I th in k, there is
a ce rtain amount of co tton- woo ll y t hinkin g (but not by me, of course !).
My contenti on is that whi le th e rul es say yo u may charge th e ' keeper
fai rl y th en an y forw ard is full y entitl ed t o do that; and if nobody wants
it tha t way then alt er t ne rule t o free the· goal ie of this occupati onal risk
a nd be done wit h it. Ima gine my chagrin when my pet "hobby-horse"
app ea red out of t he fog on St . Stephen' s Day a r;1 d threw me right into
th e middl e of th e next week (Wednesday at 2 . 15 p.m. t o be exact) I
mean, of course , t hat goa l ou r boys had di sall owed when Shamrock's
' keepe r wa s topp led ba ck ove r th e line by what, almos t eve rybody agreed,
wa s a legi timate shoul de r charg e. I ra te t he cancell ing of that score a
mista ke in the int erp retati on of t he rul es of th e game, but apart fr om
th is item I mu st say that I co nsidered th e refer ee handled th e match
exce ll ent ly.
Than ks be t o goodness we a re starting to get back to the later starts.
This 2 .30 start has been a nuisance and has caused many t o mi ss matches
they would otherwise have been abl e t o attend . From next week-end on
we gain an other 15 minutes t o to - day's like advan ce and that half-hour
will make a big diffe rence to hurrying fans . From 1st February lengthening aftern oons bring us a· 3 . 15 kick- off and shortly after that we ~m ve
at the ideal 3 .30 start which is we lcomed by eve rybody who l1ke dmner
to be a little d iges ted before he sets out for hi s fa vourite vantage-point.
' ti on of being
For about a half-d ozen ma tches we were in the happy posi
able tO f1 e ld on un chang ed t eam but th ese da ys our ill-luck gremlin· has
caught up w1th us and m the lost coupl e of matches injuries hove brought
about defecti ons gal ore. Progress repo rts on th ese players ore os follows:
Matt McKeo n- News fr om here is not os se ri ous os at fir st believed.
The leg was not broke n but in stead th ere wa s a bone di splace ment . Matt
left hospital on Thursday lost.
Shoy Cunninghom- mi ssed lost week's match owing to a groin injury
but returns to the team to -day .
Berti e Higgins- Still unfit ow ing to a nkl e injur y.

Our ground sma n is now " breaking-in " th e new motor mower-roller
recently purchased by the c lu b and it is co nfide ntl y expec ted that before.
long th e playing pitch will begin to look be t ter than ever-and stay that
way. Previous ly the job of mowing an d ro lling was a long and tedi ous
one and it was not always possible to hove it done just at th e exact
tim e we wonted . Now it con be done in half the tim e and eve n more
importan t still , os oft e n os it is considered necessary.
Deportment of why-don' t-1- keep-m y-mouth-shut. In our lost progro:nme I gave a lengthy spiel on the matter of goa ls, more goals and
more goals in eve ry mat ch. St . Potri ck's Athl eti c thereupon went out and
sco red seven against us. The ques ti on wo rrying me now is did the vi sitors
read the programme and take me too se ri ously or did th ey just hove
their own ideas all ready for execution?
And talking about gool s- 1, for one , solute our centre -half for
hi s littl e sorti e down-fi e ld lost Saturday . Sure th e plan misfired and put
us out of jo int, but with a bit of luck it might ho ve worked to our
advantage and th en th e critical ones would natter about a "daring move
whi ch caught op ponents wrong-foo ted ." For years eve ry spectator has
bee n comp lain ing that th e " stopper" centre -half has to ken all the best
out of soccer with hi s pure ly destructi ve ploy and now wh en so mebody
tries to open things up we hear nothing but " get back to th e penaltyar ea and don' t lea ve it. " I agr ee that if on up-field advance is mode the
oth er defende rs should pos ition th emse lves to cover the gap, and for one
rea so n or an other that didn ' t happen in thi s instan ce, but apart fr om
that I want to soy that, possibl y, a littl e less " safety" and a littl e more
"adve nture" might be the best thing that ever happ ened.
