Presumably because having a previously succesful football team doesn't make a town not crap...

What happened to him?
If you aren't familiar with Danny, he is the lad who scored 4 goals in the U18 cup final (against Dundalk) and our only goal in the League Cup final. Grand player but, by the end of last season, he had played 3 years solid football without a break and developed shin splints. I was told it had flared up again in pre-season trainng and last night's 5 minutes is all he has done so far
The Lilywhites

T'wasn't meant to be a dig, I didn't know if you were familiar with the U18 setup.
Anyway, you should see what tricks he can do with a ball on our astro pitches. He is better on them than on a real pitch. He might suit Dundalk (now that's a dig) :D

Keeper made some save though.
As for that the rest was poor.

Does anyone know why was there keeper wearing a city jersey?

quality save in fairness

i imagine becuase the kildare jersey is black and would clash with our kit?
they werent expectig us to wear our black away kit

just a guess

Monaghan were good in first half but think Pats dominated 2nd half.

The wee fecker! To think I used to like him! Did we make alot of changes in the 2nd half as Mick seems to be doing this and it seems to unsettle the team and they lose it but thats what preseason is for!

Did our strike force look at all like scoring??

Like Roy Keane, Stu doesn't do friendlies (causes an enormous amount of grief too.)

You are right about the result. There's a short report on the UCD forum.
Fernando Romero (I understand) direct from the 25 yard line with a free kick and Ciaran Kilduff with a deflected shot.

It was a tenner in, fiver for a concession. A tenner is still ridiculous. Clubs shouldn't be charging more than a fiver for games in pre-season.

Couldn't really help you magicme as I was concentrating more on out own side. I don't think you made that many chanbges (we made more) but we seemed to be a good bit bigger (stronger) than you. Freeman played up front but I couldn't tell you anoy of your other players. You caused a bit of pnic a couple of tiomse at dead balls and tried to play football, which I was impressed with. You hit the post after a bit of a scrmble late in the first half

I wonder when was your last post which didn't include a random pointless bitch in it?

Seem to be doing OK in pre-season so far (Galway defeat aside), which is encouraging given we've practically none of last year's first team.
