I know its not the most attractive away fixture in the leauge but this game is the most important game of the season to date. Come on lets out number the home support, it should not be that difficult.
Where is the away section in belfield, It would be good if we were located in the "covered stand" as i felt we were a bit lost up in bray out in the open

thats the job can everyone go to the stand so we can generate more noise,
City fans always go in to the stand but are usually spread around one half of it.
Any type of win in Belfield would be good as were have a history of struggling to score there.
UCD are on good run of form recently too.

:p
Don't we have to reserve 5% of the ground for you? That's 45 seats so!
Away fans usually go down the far end of the stand.

Let's see now 2004 F.A.I. Cup tie it was in let me see now Belfield... did ye manage to outnumber us? In a word NO. In fact it was one of the poorest attendances at Belfield against a Premier Division team last season :p
Its a pity we did not beat Longford Friday night as then a draw would not have been the worst result in Belfield..so now we should really be trying hard to get 3 points..UCD are playing well lately and it will be very tough as always up there...

Maybe that is because playing UCD in Dublin is not the most attractive fixture on City fans minds considering the amount of times we have to travel to Dublin..I think UCD have a decent team and always play good football but if the league was full of teams like them nobody would bother supporting Irish football.. ;)

ya it was in between our european ties we brought 508 to nantes, i'm sure belfield didnt seem as attractive. Still i am sure we will have a bigger support than this time last year. :rolleyes:

So what you are saying is that there is no excuse for our ground not being stuffed with highly vocal Langers then ? :D

what i'm saying if someone has two days off work in a week I think they would prefer to spend them in Nantes rather than belfield, doing both is not possible for the working class, but it may be different for students who get the whole fcukin summer off.
This is going to be a hell of a tough game for us.
I would be happy enough with a draw......

under normal cirumstances i would have to agree with you patsh, but after having dropped two points last week and if really are to be serious contenders for the leauge i think 3 points is a must, saying all that i have bad feelings about this maybe because its ucd. Lets hope rico can change our fortunes and lay the bogie to rest.

I graduated more than 20 years ago so I don't have the whole farqing summer off ! But I take your point about Nantes being more exotic than D4.

Na Patsh. This is a MUST win game for City. City droped 2 vital points on Friday. :mad: IMO we just have to win this game. Its going to be very tough, but I think City will just sneak it 2-1.

Better than losing 0-2 at home to Drogheda! :rolleyes:
We should beat UCD.
0-2
it was the anti Inchicore conspiracy - what do you expect with a Dublin ref??? just for once will the fai get off their holes and appoint an inchicore ref for pats fixtures????
no that would be to much like fuppin common sense
everyones against us - oh and drogheda deliberately played for a 2-0 win - what chance have we if teams come to richmond and set their stall out like that????
we can hardly be to blame in the circumstances!

Worst performance EVER.
Take nothing away from Cork - I've never seen them play as well as that - but I don't know how many goals (a) we handed them on a plate or (b) they could have had handed on a plate if they'd taken all their chances. Suppose it was just one of those days - and rather it's against Cork than Harps or Bray. Doesn't make it any better though... :(

What was the Attendence like?
(top of the league, Im on top of the world)
UCD say 500 odd. About 50-70 city fans.
One of the most powerful & skillfull attacking performances in years. I hope the tv pictures do justice to the goals.
UCD had some good attacking at 0-0 but the 2 goals in 2 moinutes really killed them. George, Fenn & Kearney were dancing around midfield, some great one-twos, flicks & passes to feet. Then had the pace of O'Flynn & Roy.
Most impressive area of performance was the agressiveness & drive from City. Gamble & George stole the ball off midfielder numerous times. Played game at great pace & never let up even when game was over at 3-1.
O'Fynn rounded the keeper & had shot clearer off the line. George fecked up an open goal header by trying to place too much. Roy paniced when through on goal & passed instead of shooting.
23 points from last 27 whereas shels have got only 11.

I don't know what to say. We defended very very bad. Whitmarsh was awful aswell which blunted us. I think your first goal had a lot of luck in it to be fair and perhaps that was the catalyst as I felt we were doing grand up to then considering our league positions. The second goal was ridiculous. O'Callaghan just walked right through us. The penalty I honestly have no idea about. Can City lads clarify as it was in line with your end? I felt we were in with a shout up until that. But following the penalty it all went to hell for whatever reason. O'Callaghan walked right through us a fair few times that night. With all due respect to him it had more to do with our poorness than his brilliance. Fair play to Cork they had the clinicalness to take advatage of our collapse but the annoying thing was it wasn't as if you were very hungry for it or anything, it just happened. Your fans made a decent amount of noise, nothing close to Derry but more than any of our Dublin rivals.
Goal 1 - Kearney was lucky as just hit him but thats was becuase O'Flynn missed the header.
Goal 2 - Great passing throughout the team.
Goal 3 - Kearney fell over defenders outstretched leg but was definitely insdie the box. Think looked bad as he was heading towards the corner flag.
Goal 4 & 5 - City rampant at that stage with poor defending but clinical finishing.
I disagree about the hunger as City employed high pressure tactic closing down defenders & midfielders even when ahead whereas recently we'd have sit back at 3-1. I think team learnt leasson from Bray where totally dominated but almost lost it in dying minutes.
I was surprised to win so well as UCD been on good run recently. However our away form has been staggering this season with no fluke wins.

Fantastic to hear we dominated so much in midfield as the commentators said that UCD played with 5 in the center for the second half.
One other thing that impresses me is that we are not letting teams back level when they pull goals back - eg; Bray, UCD, etc

Well done to Cork, best performance I've seen from an EL team in a long time. We were hopeless, especially after going 3-1 down, but Cork didn't give us a chance to get back into the game at that stage. Had Whitmarsh put away that chance at 2-1 though we might have got something as we were putting Cork under some pressure at that stage, at least the final score might have been a bit closer!
