It seems not many are giving us a chance against Bray (see predictions League). A lot of folk are sitting on the fence with a 1-1 draw. I think we will snatch a one nil victory O'Flynn to score it.

I'm going for a 0-2 win for United, we're improving alll the time, our first win has to come soon. I always take great satisfaction out of seeing a peed off Eddie Gormley. I cant make it to "Tuam Beside the Sea" on Friday, do they still have commentary on GBFM?

I havent predicted a win for us all season maybe last fridays disappointment against Bohs shows how far weve come.United to win odd goal of 3 Murphs is on fire.

I actually think we'll win this too - Bray not playing great of late, though seemingly they were worth their point against Cork.

Big game but I'll go for a 2-0 win.

Ya fairplay to GBFM. A email off a few of us in that direction in appreciation wouldnt go amiss, to show them that they do have a listenership for it after all

fair Play to Bernie/Ollie and all the Staff at GBFM.

Galway First has been excellent too pity I can only get it on the net.Great to see KK there on friday night covering it for the Tribune Group who have appointed former Terryland Regular Dave Connell is their new editor maybe JMcIntyre might buck up his sports coverage.

Havent been keepin track of the bookings but I think Reggi is near a suspension at this stage after his booking against Bohs, anybody able to shine some light on this?

MyTown

25/04/2007, 2:40 PM

I think Reggie has 3 Yellows to date against Sligo, Cork and Bohs.

fancy us to get a scrappy 2-1 win. at this stage, scrappy or not i will take any 3 points that come our way. i think all we need is one win to get us going and get the confidence higher and then we'll start playing a bit of football

I am going to go for a 0-1 win for Bray , so please prove me wrong United .

26/04/2007, 12:20 PM

fair play to the bray fans. they have arranged to meet up with us before the game and make some sort of presentation to us. good to see that there is still good links between fans in the EL

corbyeire

26/04/2007, 4:28 PM

thats the way it should be - fair play to bray - more of the same required and itll go a long way to giving the league a good name

united to win 2-0 with wesley scoring first. was down in bray a cuople of years ago as my brother and couple of cousins came over as hearts were playing pre-season friendlies against pats on the sunday and bray on the wednesday. we somehow managed to make both games fromgalway and throughhangovers and we all still talk about the welcome we received form the bray fans. am looking forward to going back down and would appreciate if this could be passed onto bray fans.
p.s. pats fans were a bunch of knobends. no craic at all

GUISAUltra

26/04/2007, 6:11 PM

27/04/2007, 8:25 PM

Can just visualise us dropping deeper and deeper and deeper. Line of 4 across the 6 yard box with Charles beside Rogers on the goal line

GuisaSaigon

27/04/2007, 8:26 PM

Gaillimh Al

27/04/2007, 8:28 PM

Great commentary by Bernie. "TACKLE FROM BEHIND....by the referee" when OBrien could have had a penalty.

Gaillimh Al

27/04/2007, 8:30 PM

GuisaSaigon

27/04/2007, 8:44 PM

Nice one, about time we got a bit of luck. Thank god for Bernie and Keano on GBFM but this listening on the radio is not for me, jumping around the place with headphones on. The wife thinks im gone mad! It's just not right not being at the game

GuisaSaigon

27/04/2007, 9:05 PM

What was murph's injury?

eamo1

27/04/2007, 10:43 PM

that comment about the tackle behind by the ref had me laughing.also another where he said "great by ciaran foley on er em ciaran foley":) .
sounds like we should have had it sown up early into the second half.if russell had a better finish tonight then he could have had 2 it seems.unbeaten in 3 now:) .BRING ON DERRY!!

Good to see a win for United at last.

Get to keep up with EL scores on Swedish teletext.

Great win for the lads , now for Derry next week .

corbyeire

29/04/2007, 6:51 PM

thank god - was listening on gbfm for a while and seemed like gufc were on top end of first half and start of second - got to play 10 men and started to play badly - just like longford - was thinking not again - another late goal to be conceded - at long last 3 points!

JC_GUFC

29/04/2007, 7:46 PM

Was pretty strange, we switched to 4-4-2 when they went down to 10 men and just couldn't keep the ball. Up to that point we'd dominated, although Clive Delaney did have a few chances from set pieces. In typical GAA manner being down a man worked to their advantage!

Bring on Derry, a relegation 6-pointer already! ;)

Tir Oilean

30/04/2007, 7:37 AM

I assume Foley coming off was a tactical move? I thought maybe 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 would hanve been better against the 10 men. Certainly sounded like we were on top for most of the game until the sending off but by God was it getting tense for the last 20 mins! Good to get that win under our belts.

GuisaSaigon

30/04/2007, 9:21 AM

I think Foley was injured. Bray seemed to get the upper hand after he went off.

30/04/2007, 1:22 PM

fair play to you's on friday. prob deserved the win in a shocking game. we prob had more chances but you's controlled the ball for long spells. i havent seen longford play yet but you should be sfae come the end of the year.

oh and the cork fans wher not happy with our pitch the previous week, what did you lot think of it on friday?

god knows what it was likestanding on it but from the side anyway looked A1...best pitch ive came across in the 4 away games to date thats including cork!

GUISAUltra

01/05/2007, 12:21 PM

pitch did look in very good shape. as gilberto said its impossibl to know what it played like but it looked nice.

also tir oilean, foley was injured and was probably the best player on the pitch up until he went off. losing him and murphs to inury kind off shocked the boys as the our 2 injured parties were running the show.

gufct

01/05/2007, 1:04 PM

I was talking to Alan Keane before the game and he was raving about how good the pitch was.It looked great so I dont what the CCFC boys were on about.

Gary Rogers really came of age with two Top Drawer saves and if there is a better player in the league than Reggi at the moment I havent seen him.Himself and Wes were awesome along with Murphs and Foley.
