U-21 Dublin league

[pineapple stu]

Began yesterday, I think, with Pat's winning 4-1 against the Sh!te College. We're up against Pat's on Saturday. Pre-season form hasn't been great, but it was like that as well last year and we retained our title. Touch wood for three-in-a-row this year! Will try and use this thread to keep the season up-to-date.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Is the team stronger or weaker than before?

[pineapple stu]

No idea really. We should be getting in the next bunch of scholarship students about now, which would strengthen it up from the Shield team anyway. Presumably we'll use the U-21s to keep the bench players match-fit too, which would mean we'd have a couple of first-team players in there as well on occasion - maybe Cawley/Dicker/Hurley.

[pineapple stu]

First result - UCD 6-0 Pat's. Superb result against a team who are usually well up in the running and who topped out division last year, beating us in Belfield and knocking us out of the Enda McGuill Cup. Think that's some questions about the team answered! Goalscorers - Ciarán Quinn (pen), John Brophy (2), P Kavanagh, og (2)

[Poor Student]

Tremendous result. As you say, Pat's have been our main challenge in this region along with Bray. I expected a narrow win at best. Two own goals is a bit weird. I asked Maccer if Brophy was still around this pre-season, well there he is. Wonder what age he is as I thought he was too old to stay on another year.

UCD 5-0 Bohs. :eek: :) John Brophy (3), Kieran Harte and Damien Kelly.

Trinity 0-1 Bray:)

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least five charachters.

:confused:

[John83]

:confused:
He's retyped the message you get if you... how the hell is this confusing you?

Mullet, they say great minds think alike (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?p=485846#post485846), but I think simple ones probably do so more often.

[Poor Student]

That's impressive form. Bray and Shels should prove sterner tests though. Brophy is showing Paul Byrne-esque scoring form.

[pineapple stu]

Thank you John. I'm aware what that part of the message meant.

I'm just curious as to how a simple 1-0 defeat for Tiniry to Bray can bring so much happiness!

[CollegeTillIDie]

Well Trinity are out oldest rivals in Sport, and Bray are our local rivals. When either of them lose it's fun! :D

[DmanDmythDledge]

Glad to see Ciaran Quinn can actually manage to score at least one goal, but surely our U-21s must have better players than him

[CollegeTillIDie]

You probably won't believe us You probably won't believe us you probably won't believe us but... We're gonna win the (Dr. Tony O'Neill ) Cup! :D

Bohs 2-3 Rovers
Rovers 0-1 Shels

UCD play Dublin City in the ALSAA at 7:00 on Tuesday.

[Poor Student]

UCD beat Dublin City 1-0 last night.:)

[pineapple stu]

John Brophy scored.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Aaron McEniff broke one of his metertasal(spelling!) crossing a ball!

[pineapple stu]

Where'd you hear that?! And how did he do that?!

Other results - Crumlin 2-2 Pat's

And we've drawn Pat's in the League Cup, apparently.

The mother of all sources about UCD. I don't know.

Bebo? :)

[DmanDmythDledge]

Yes:D :D :D

[pineapple stu]

Apparently Bray were awarded a 3-0 win over Shels when Shels forfeited their tie last week.

[CollegeTillIDie]

Apparently Bray were awarded a 3-0 win over Shels when Shels forfeited their tie last week. Probably couldn't afford to fulfil that fixture :D

[mossey2006]

davey last is a doubt for 2night 21 game apparently he injured his ankle taking shots at half time yesterday

[pineapple stu]

Jayz - injuring feet taking shots, injuring feet crossing the ball - pack off wusses! :D

[mossey2006]

good result by d 21s last night thought the centre half nd left full wher very good aswell as the midfield

[Danny]

your number 10 was a cracking player
best on the pitch imo
thought you were very comfortable til we equalised and then looked a bit rattled.
some very very dodgy decisions by Mr Winter the ref.
2 of which led to the winning goals for you.
1st was a clear back pass which ur keeper missed then recovered to pick up on the line but no free. 2nd was a definite corner that he gave as a goal kick....Not bitter, better team defo won, and much better than the 6-0 mauling in the league

[mossey2006]

cum on danny lets b honest we wer all over yous nd shuda scored more pats only had 2 chances the peno nd the pass back the centre half pairin of davey last who was a injury doubt b4 d game nd evan was brilliant the pair havent conceeded a goal from open play this season nd fran was sensasioal like harty who didnt stop workin aswell as rory i also see shane flynn is sportin a new barnet wit blonde highlights i think he is becomim a big time charlie gettin a bit to big for his boots wat u think nd fran was man of the match or harty some of these players shud b pushin on to the first team soon enough

[Danny]

didnt disagree with ya, just pointing out 2 shocking refereeing errors that led to ucd goals...

[pineapple stu]

Paul Byrne, I assume? Scored the third goal? Superb player - took five seconds on his Premier Division debut to score...in Richmond last season.

How did those lead to goals for us? :confused:

[John83]

Seconded. I'm not reading that.

[Danny]

How did those lead to goals for us?

1st one - back pass not given, ur keeper throws it out, some of our players moaning at ref, ball goes into the box, deflection, goal....wouldnt have happened if indirect free was given for back pass.

2nd one - goal kick given instead of corner, some of our players & manager moaning at ref, ball goes to "Pele" Quinn who hits cross bar, ur striker (clearly offside) scores....

jaysus this really sounds like im bitter but as i said above better team won, just ref's ineptitude didnt help, but being an eL fan i should be used to that

The Pats team only have themselves to blame for moaning and not getting on with the game.

[BrayUnknowns]

The Pats team only have themselves to blame for moaning and not getting on with the game.

Agreed, but the standard of reffing is appauling ! Rohna was doing one of our matches against Dublin City (RIP) and he got in the way of play so many times, at one stage she virtually caught the ball !

[Schumi]

Beat Trinity 2-1 today. Paul Byrne (I think, was at the other end of the pitch) scored after a minute, Trinity equalised after 15. A slightly harsh penalty for handball was scored by Ronan Finn with maybe 20 minutes left. Alan Mahon played at right back and John Brophy came on at half time. Our left winger, Dave something, looked good; made some nice runs and crossed well.

[Student Mullet]

Were we given a 3 - 0 win for the game Shels couldn't play? I think we should offer them a replay now that they're back on track. It could improve our goal difference.

That was Bray.

Beaten 2-0 by Crumlin according to aertel.:(

[pineapple stu]

Yep. Got the last couple of minutes heading in to pick up the car after last night. Didn't really see anything of it. Crumlin seemed delighted with the win. Only player I recognised in the brief spell I was watching was Harte. Paul Byrne and Gary Dicker were in attendance.

[BrayUnknowns]

What happened there ? big shock as far as the U21 league goes..... UCD don't seem to be as strong this year as in pervious seasons. Bray have seemed to have got stronger, roll on the double !

We easily beat St. Pats 3-0, it could and should have been more but 3-0 against any Pats side is a good win. Shels next in the cup in the Carlisle at the weekend, hopefully they can feild a side this time round

[pineapple stu]

We beat Pat's 6-0. ;)
