Dundee United returning

[pineapple stu]

According to a post on the main forum, in the summer friendlies thread.

Two in a row?

Will the United fans have learned English in the meantime?

Edit - provisionally down for 21 July (http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=3226&cd=2009).

[Aberdonian Stu]

I'll have my Aberdeen jersey at the ready.

tell sean dillon we say hello!;)

They were a nice challenge last year, clearly a bit better than us, but the lack of match fitness compensating. Interesting to see how the current team fares against them.

It'll be nice to have 'The Arabs' back at the UCD Bowl

The name of the fans back is even more UCD refereces surely.

I heard last night that Dundee Utd are looking to play another Irish Club . I really hope it is us so Dillo can come home to us bit like when Dave Savage came home when his team Northampton played us nine years ago in Longford.

Playing three games, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with UCD, Bohs I believe and a LSL side to be confirmed.

As an aside was chatting to Dillo today

Dunno why I typed Bohs, I meant Drogs. The Thursday game is not confirmed

I heard that they want to play a third loi team. It has being mentioned to the board in the club about this and hopefully dundee utd will come down and play us . I remember them coming down to play us in 1998 in flancare and paul sturrock was the manager then. hows dillo gettin on?

[sligoman]

Ye are playing Hamilton according to one of their players on bebo...no I'm not a stalker;)

[pineapple stu]

Or you could have looked it up on their website (http://www.acciesfc.co.uk/) - stalker! :p

28 July.

[pineapple stu]

Note neither of these are confirmed as yet due to FAI muppetry (as in, we can't arrange a friendly on a day when there's Champions' League First Round ties on)

[pineapple stu]

Dundee United game now confirmed for Monday 20th. Hamilton game TBC, but hopefully on Monday 27th.

[pineapple stu]

Dundee United game now back on Tuesday the 21st...

[DeNiro]

That makes some sense given the minor event in Tallaght on the 20th

[pineapple stu]

It's also the date we had at the start before the FAI/UEFA intervened.

Dundee United are playing in Drogheda on the 20th. And Kildare on the 23rd.

Match report (http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=143&cd=581&Date=2009&cd1=0) from their game against Drogheda last night - Danny Cadamarteri plays for them now. Paul Krowlay (http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=3252&cd=2009&cd1=7) scored for Drogs. :D

When was the last time we had a black player?

[Schumi]

When was the last time we had a black player?I can't think of one anyway.

Where was the universities captain playing before do you know?

[John83]

Never in my time (always amusing with the anti-racism slogan on kids' shirts). Declan might remember one, but I wouldn't be surprised if we've not had one in the league!

[pineapple stu]

Where was the universities captain playing before do you know?
He was either with Greystones, or he's from Greystones, or both. Can't remember. Wasn't cross channel obviously if he was on the universities panel (think he was DIT)

[HarpoJoyce]

I can't think of one anyway.

Stephen Roche who captained most of the games from the start was previously with Bray Wanderers (one of four ties they had with the mens side alone John Mulroy, Dean Zambra are with the club and David 'Davy' O'Sullivan used to captain their U21 side) but Roche was unattached recently. Good cross field passer from Midfield.

Erm.... why the other bullsh1t questions and some stupid responses. Any member of a minority group will know you don't have to be black to receive racist abuse. So standing up to any of that nonsense is welcome.

shamrock rovers fans got done for Racist Chanting against UCD players, at the last game of the season in 2005. The new shamrock rovers like.
Will Jonathon Roche be at tonight's game?

Some impressive searching!

Match report online (http://www.ucdsoccer.com/index.php?a=295) now.

Decent game. Two triallists played well. The black lad (Eigbobo) in particular looked good at times; hopefully his one on one miss doesn't cost him a contract. A lot of our play went through him in the half hour he was on, although apparently he's nowhere near match fit.
