We go on an unbeaten run and end up winning the first division title and earn our entry into the new premier league for our performance on the pitch.

Young player to watch?
Has to be Cretaro after his great start to the season, from the under21's it would be between Kennedy and Doherty after watching them beat Sligo yesterday.

Alan Murphy. If he can find his old form, that he had before joining Derry, we would be in an even stronger position than we find ourselves in at the moment for getting out of the division.

Slip down to mid table.

Young player to watch?
John Russell. He seemed to be a great prospect 2 years ago and I’m still hopeful that he’ll deliver on that promise.

Our central midfielders because that’s the area that seems to be weak a lot of the time. John Russell could be the one to make the difference there.

From what we’ve seen so far, he could be.

Always the next one.

The one who rolls around the most.

Could be anywhere in the top half of the table, but it’s too early to give up on winning it yet.

[Patrick Dunne]

What is the best thing that could happen (for the remainder) of this season?

Alan Gough scores 93rd minute winner in Kilkenny to give GUFC the First Division title, one point ahead of Shamrock Rovers.

[corbyeire]

yea sure - i always say murph has a bad game - ive been trying to lay off the last while seen as he knocked a few in - all the same the amount of times it opened up on the left - waiting with murph on the ball to pass it out to odonnell or sometimes 2 players - and he goes and beats himself again :mad:

keane on the other hand would get possesion in the breakdown of play - and instead of bringing it forward into the ample free space - or playing a one two - he would hoof it regardless - with no pressure

then its time to do it all over again and what happens - same again

i know it wasnt him alone who played badly - he just stuck in me head for some reason :rolleyes:

[corbyeire]

What is the best thing that could happen (for the remainder) of this season?
promotion obviously

And the worst?
no promotion, again obviously

Young player to watch?
gethins

Most important player?
murph when he occasionally thinks on the football field

Player you’d like to get rid of?
apart from the penalties hes been awarded - derek drives me up the wall - beat a player(just about) - beat another player (9 times out of 10 - no!)- wait go back and beat the first lad again - if he manges to get out of this lo and behold space - what does he do - go for cross - what cant he 100% of the time - cross - what should he do - run into box and win penalty

Is Tony Cousins the right manager?
hard to know yet

What advise would you give him?
keep bringin in talent(long run) and try and get a settled team (short term)

Which team do you most want to beat?
rovers for the points - athlone for making me watch the worst game ever

Which opposing player will get the most stick?
the mouthy diver

Where will we finish?
im not an optimist - the draws earlier on will tell - losing to those beside us not helping at the moment etc.
think it could be promotion by defualt in 3rd or 4th - would love it to be in second - but other teams seem to be able to beat the weaker teams - a lot more easily than us

[TheLedge]

What is the best thing that could happen (for the remainder) of this season?
Promotion of course.
And the worst?
Mid Table Mediocrity....again.

[Paddyfield]

What is the best thing that could happen (for the remainder) of this season?

An inqust is held into Dave Goldbey's "disallowed" goal in the Play Off final three years ago in Drogheda. The Drogs get booted out of the League and are replaced by us ...and we go on to win the Champion League ...in the Nou Camp...against Shels... Jumbo scoring the winner after coming out of retirement

And the worst?

Eric apologises (on local radio again) for dossing training and comes back with a bunch of flowers.

Young player to watch?

Cookie. (How old is he???)

Most important player?

Raf from Tub Of Curry

Player you’d like to get rid of?

Erci Lav...oh, he's gone already.

Is Tony Cousins the right manager?

I'd say so. He will probably go to a Dubland club in a two years. Hopefully, Lal will a second chance then. But yes, Cuz is the man.

What advise would you give him?

Move to Galway.

Which team do you most want to beat?

Is the pope Catholic? Does the bear s**t in the woods? Da Rovers!

Where will we finish?

There, or there abouts.


- Paddyfield -

[Terry]

A few things there Paddy, Jumbo still has the 3(i think) match ban over his head in europe :D. Cooke is 19 and Tony has moved to Galway, for the rest of the season anyway.

Thanks Terry. Jumo sat out our first three European games...the 3 - 2 agg win over Arsenal (two games) and the away leg against Rangers. Derek O'Brien missed the final through suspension :)

[thescoringgoals]

What is the best thing that could happen (for the remainder) of this season?
PROMOTION AND BUILDING WORK ON THE NEW STAND TO FINALLY START.
And the worst?
MID TABLE AND THEN NICK AND CO LEAVE
Young player to watch?
COOKE
Most important player?
GOUGH
Player you’d like to get rid of?
DEREK O BRIEN,yes he won us a few penos but hes got no shot,no positional sense and even though hes a winger he cant cross a ball-theres gotta be a better alternative then him for the left side and their is now so time for him to leave imo.
Is Tony Cousins the right manager?
LOOKS LIKE IT
What advise would you give him?
GET THEM TO START KILLING GAMES OFF AND NOT SITTING BACK WHEN THEY SCORE THE 1ST GOAL.
Which team do you most want to beat?
SHAMS
Which opposing player will get the most stick?
-
Where will we finish?
2nd,maybe

[GUISAUltra]

What is the best thing that could happen (for the remainder) of this season? That we go on a brilliant run winning all of our games and win the league in Kilkenny away

And the worst? That we revert back to bog ball style and start hoofing the ball up from our centre halfs to our strikers.

Young player to watch? Cookie, he's having a really good season although sometimes he does look a small bit inexperienced

Most important player? I think getting raf back is going to be a really big boost to both the players and the fans as it is like getting a new player and i fancy that raf will shine for the rest of the season

Player you’d like to get rid of? Barry Moran, i think in the past couple of seasons he looks to have lost all desireto play for the club and i also think he has lost a lot of his pace

Is Tony Cousins the right manager? So far he can only be commended for completely changing the way we play football, so that the fans actually have something to watch and we actually now have a chance of beating teams by playing football

What advise would you give him? Keep signing outside players, it seems to have worked so far so keep it up Tony

Which team do you most want to beat? Rovers would have to be an obvious choice to help us win the league but i'd have to say athlone, after some absolutely dire results and performances up there we owe them a good beating

Which opposing player will get the most stick? Eric Lavine, for reasons everyone knows, and willies not a racist

Where will we finish? GOING UP AS CHAMPIONS!!!!!

[gloryglorygufc]

What is the best thing that could happen (for the remainder) of this season? Learn how to finish off teams and win - need to develop this habit for the elite league next year.

And the worst? To end up stuck in the hellhole of Div 1

Young player to watch?

Most important player? Should be Murphy

Player you’d like to get rid of? Let's start with O'Brien

Is Tony Cousins the right manager? still not convinced, would help if he was locally based

Where will we finish?[/QUOTE] 2nd

Young player to watch?
Willy Furey ! no seriosly Raf looked good on his return and could be the shot in the arm we require
Most important player?
Murphs, if he can find the form he showed before going to Derry our season might not be over yet
Player you’d like to get rid of?
Moran unless he starts doing something soon
Is Tony Cousins the right manager?
too early to judge although we have been playing better since he arrived
What advise would you give him?
try to instill some mental toughness and a killer instinct to win games instead of drawing
Which team do you most want to beat?
Shamrock Rovers
Which opposing player will get the most stick?
Apparently that kind of behaviour will get you kicked out of Terryland so opposing players will only get praise and love from united fans !
Where will we finish?
Hopefully 1st but probably 2nd to Shams
