The Final Weekend - Season 2011

[Dunny]

Updates here.

[adamd164]

Haven't been able to concentrate on work the last few days - goosebumps thinking about Saturday, we're going up. :)

[adamd164]

On another note, I hope for the sake of the league that Galway can put up something against Rovers tonight or it'll be a farce live on national TV.

[joeSoap]

Prepare for the farce!!!

[razor]

been the longest week ever.
tomorrow can't come fast enough
Our 26 seater leaves at 2pm, it'll be a great day no matter what the result.

In fact we're all really looking forward to it.

I know people have accused galway of being cynical this year to save money ,with it being the only year probably ever where it didnt matter how or what results you got,
Last week was shameful, im dreading tonigt

[harps1954]

Thank feck this season is nearly over.

Surely Cork or Mons or Limerick want to see anything but Galway finding something to get confidence from...

[adamd164]

I'm confident we'll beat Shels, and I'd rather see Galway win the playoff against Mons! Galway United's under 9s would add more to the LOI premier than Monaghan.

[dfx-]

I think Galway are already playing their u-9 side, so maybe not.

[adamd164]

Anyone but Galway probably seems appealing now, but once you've had to go to Gortakeegan a few times you'll be praying for Terryland!

[monsexile]

More reason to hope Shels thump the Co-op tonight

[adamd164]

The games are tomorrow night, I hope Roddy and co. aren't on their way to Athlone!

I'd rather Gortakeegan, Lissywoollen, Finn Park and Terryland than some more 'established' Premier Division grounds, quite a few of them actually.

FAI have allowed us to play them on consecutive nights to potential gain an extra 3 points.:o

Well terryland is a fine little ground. but there's no too much wroing with Gortakeegan either. Stand with enough seats/cover for most fans. Nice little bar. What more are you looking for?

Gortakeegan is one of the better grounds - nice clubhouse, friendly staff, good banter and those hotdogs!! Always had a soft spot for it tbh. I suggest adamd164 hasnt been to a lot of the other grounds in the First Div!!!

I wish it concerned us but it wont.

[passinginterest]

Galway are 40/1 to win or 11/1 not to lose. Seems like madness, Rovers won't be exactly up for it and galway will surely be looking to put on a decent show for the cameras as well as looking for a boost before the playoff.

I'd normally agree with this type of thinking but if galway were playing cardboard cut outs I wouldn't be abcking them, even at 40/1

Seems like madness, Rovers won't be exactly up for it and galway will surely be looking to put on a decent show for the cameras as well as looking for a boost before the playoff.They've played 37 games this year, won one (36/1) and not lost four (~8/1). I don't think the odds are too far off.

Perhaps he has forgotten* Oriel, the away end of United Park, freezing Bray, 'quiet' UCD, Dalymount etc.



*I will leave the obvious jibe to the Shels fans...

[El-Pietro]

a team with more than 350 fans after 2 incredibly competitive seasons?

[Longfordian]

Any dodgy betting patterns we should be aware of? Nothing at stake for anyone tonight, could be some "connected persons" looking to make some cash for the off season!

[S.E.P.1990]

Oriel....brrrr and aaaargh all wrapped into one. Looking forward to going their next year though lol!!!!

absolutely love the away end at Drogs - one of my favourite stands in teh country - after the Shed at Dayler - unlike you we don't get stuck out in the rain

[placid casual]

Lump on galway to get a draw. Rovers have been on the beer since Tuesday. ..

A mate of mine was drinking with the Rover squad in Coppers on Tuesday, Gary Mccabe told him to lump on Galway becuase they will be on the **** for the next few days:D

40/1 its worth a few Euro

GUFC wont field a fully fit team until Tuesday, Cameras or no camera

We've been in the Shed this season.

It only changes the view.

[adamd164]

I like Drogs as an away ground too. Covered terraces are few and far between, usually a decent atmosphere when we play there.

Just because you're on the verge of returning to the Premier doesn't give ye the god given right to look down on teams again. Statements like that are cringe worthy

He gained that right in the day he was born by virtue of being born in Cork.

Galway getting a bashing from Dave Barry and Stewie Byrne

[Dunny]

[Dunny]

Galway getting a bashing from Dave Barry and Stewie Byrne
Some of it is over the top, they seem to be blaming us for the FAI's decision to have such a strange structure.

And when are they going to realise that the 3 clubs in Galway are not going to amalgamate

[Dunny]

Drogheda 2-1 Pats

[Dunny]

Rovers 1 up

[gufc2000]

31 minutes its taken...we had been competing well up to that. Just hope the floodgates don't open too wide now, and we don't implode

[Dunny]

Rovers 2 up

[Dunny]

Drogheda 2-2 Pats

[Dunny]

Sligo 1-1 UCD

[Lionel Ritchie]

Is there ANYWHERE a decade into the 21st Century updates can be got on the First Division matches ...i.e. Limerick Waterford, Athlone Mons and Shels Cork?

[Longfordian]

Em maybe wait til they're actually on..tomorrow night.

[gufct]

Stuart Byrnes comments tonight before the game were disgraceful especially when you think of his carry on in his last season with Drogheda.

[adamd164]

what did he say?

[Lionel Ritchie]

Em maybe wait til they're actually on..tomorrow night.

You serious? Please don't **** with my head here. I'd to go to a funeral today. It's been a mad few days actually. I dunno whether to thump or kiss you :smirk:
