Wexford Youths away next Friday. Time TBC, but presumably 7:30/7:45 ish.

Edit - Longford and Monaghan games going ahead, but exact details yet TBC. Limerick game is now gone, it seems, but we have either Bangor Celtic or Tullamore away. May be another game or two, but nothing at home apparently. Or not at the moment anyway.

Wexford game postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Edit - and the Monaghan game is on Foster's Avenue, not in the Bowl.

Edit edit - good, if now redundant, match preview (http://www.ucdsoccer.com/index.php?a=399) on the UCD site incidentally. Not my article either!

No, but very near it. It's in the corner beside the NOVA centre (opposite the old ground).

So lads just to let you know, I am not a roses type girl but other flowers will be accepted on Sunday.....:D

Looking forward to this game and getting to see some more of our squad in action as we had quite a few bodies missing last weekend. Is there parking nearby?

I may be a little hungover so can you ask the crowd to keep the noise down? Ta!

There's rudimentary parking (and some daisies for you) beside the pitch.

Unless Magicme brings her sister.

Not looking like I will make it myself. Almost ended up in hospital last night so taking it easy. If feel better tomorrow I will travel up but at the moment thats not likely.

sorry to hear about it magicme what happened to you?

pineapple stu

14/02/2010, 4:41 PM

Just as well; there were no daisies anyway.

Get well soon magicme. Although a comfortable 2-0 win probably won't help your convalescence.

Magicme

14/02/2010, 5:15 PM

Thanks stu, I believe we played ok from reports I got (one of which was an impartial view) so happy enough. I hear Philly Hughes was making a nusiance of himself in the box which is good to hear.

pineapple stu

14/02/2010, 5:24 PM

There'll probably be a match report on the site shortly, but I think the starting XI was -

Brennan
Nangle---Boyle---Shorty---Harding
???---Bolger---McMahon---Creevy---Mulhall
Kilduff

We used seven subs I think, ending up something like -

McGinley
Matthews---Boyle---Shorty---Harding
D McMillan---Roche---Bolger---Ward---???
Houstan

Nangle was taken off injured during the game.

DmanDmythDledge

14/02/2010, 5:28 PM

I presume that line up is going from the left hand side of the pitch to the right?

Schumi

14/02/2010, 5:48 PM

???---Bolger---McMahon---Creevy---Mulhall

??? = Rusk. You were telling me that he got the goal.

Our game against ye has been moved forward to Wednesday at 8.00. Presume it's to do with us having a Leinster Cup game at the weekend.

Mark Russell was the missing player apparently.

2-0 win over Longford last night. Report here (http://www.ucdsoccer.com/index.php?a=417) (I've corrected Brian's impressive error of getting out entire midfield wrong!). Fairly standard pre-season stuff. Harding slipped for the peno I think, and ended up sending it out over the ground. Killer also sent a one-on-one out of the ground. Creevy was very impressive. McGinley in nets looked solid too.

Magicme

18/02/2010, 11:25 AM

So having seen us and Longford in action......who is better???? I have a feeling they are going to be massive rivals to us this season so just want to get an objective viewpoint!

pineapple stu

18/02/2010, 12:07 PM

Longford weren't a bad side, but we created more against them than we did against ye. I wasn't really watching the Monaghan game, tbh - was kicking a ball around or chatting for a good chunk. :o

Admit it, you spent most of the time looking for me.... sorry Stu!

Longfordian

18/02/2010, 3:04 PM

Yeah some of our defending especially in the first half was a bit sloppy. We improved a good deal second half without being overly penetrative though Glynn was fairly lively, Forsyth is awful slow though not sure he'll be kept. Overall a good workout for both sides as they say.

Schumi

18/02/2010, 3:41 PM

Forsyth is awful slow though not sure he'll be kept. Is that Darren Forsyth that used to be with us?

pineapple stu

18/02/2010, 3:47 PM

Yep. Came on as a second half sub and had a goal disallowed.

Martinho II

18/02/2010, 4:57 PM

it was a very good workout.. I missed colleges first goal as Stu was showing me the DVD of their season on his laptop with one or two clips from town ucd last season so I got distracted! It better be worth the buy Stu!

great catchin up with Harpo and Pineapple and they were very brave to be in Section Os midst.. We treated them like royalty!:D

No sign of Ev McMillan for any of these games, obviously must be busy with his Glee commitments.

I loved the way we scored on the pitch literally two seconds before Longford scored on the DVD, so you ended up missing both goals. :D

(And dman's joke aside, Ev's still injured from the Waterford game)

Phew. I was wondering about that. He'd be a big loss this year.
