There are bars on campus but you're better off with one of the local bars like the Montrose, Lonnegans or Kielys (Mount Merrion not Donnybrook).

No the "nearest " pub is in the Montrose Hotel across the main Stillorgan Road.
Given Sligo have not won in Belfield since 1986( at that was a League Cup game) aren't you being just a little cocky?

The Montrose and Lonnegan's (same building) are across the road - five to ten minute walk. Kiely's is miles away.

Prediction - we've bene unlucky recently and have a very good record against Sligo of late - might reverse your scoreline!

Incorrect pineapple!

Kiely's Mount Merrion is a five minute walk from Belfield Park.

5 minutes? which direction?

Turn right out the Foster's gate, left into Mount Merrion at the lights nearby and straight up the hill.

You'd need to be Derval Bleedin' O'Rourke to do that journey in 5 minutes Aberdonian !

Sorry...was thinking of Donnybrook.

Although I'd agree with CTID on the length of the trip...

She's sprinter/hurdler so I doubt that's awfully relevant.

Max 8 minutes, but an elite athlete like myself would expect to do it in 5.

:D

I think the only way to settle this is with a pint-to-ground race from Kiely's and the Montrose.

I agree a race is a good idea but lets make it more interesting.

3 racers.

1 from Kiely's Mount Merrion.
1 from the Montrose going through UCD.
1 from the Montrose going the usual way with the shortcut.

Well I think holding Cork to a draw, outplaying Drogheda and Shels and doing well against Bohs before sitting back counts as good form.

EDIT: And throw in a 4-1 win against Bray as well.

Ye lost to Pat's, we drew with Pat's (and should have won)
Ye bet Waterford 1-0, we bet them 3-1
Ye lost to a First Division team in the league cup
Ye lost to Shels, we drew with Shels
Ye lost to Bohs, we bet Bohs

I think we're on better form tbh:).

Based on what you said you're right to say that you are in better form, but I still think we will nick it. We're overdue a win with the way we are playing.

Our reserves lost to a First Division team in the League Cup.

I agree with dmanetc (duh). We're overdue a win from our recent performances. And it's 25 years since you beat us in Belfield in the league, and eight years (ten games) since yez beat us at all.:)

OK. Myself and John83 are meeting up at about 1:00 to make some more headway on stigonline among other things, so by 3:00, I'll probably be making as much sense as...well, as I do here, really. :)

Who writes the previews for yer website (http://www.ucdsoccer.com/viewgame.php?game=28183&view=preview&preview=3059)? We do not have a player called Barry Curran, it's Gary:rolleyes: . In fairness, it doesn't take much to find out his name, just go to our website!;). Seen the same preview on Errortel, did ye just copy it?
Researched with the help of eleven-a-side (http://www.eleven-a-side.com/previews/preview.asp?pid=523) - apologies.

So, about that form comparison you were talking about...?:D
