Tonight's game

[ramsfan]

1-1 , great goal by reilly, overall a very good display, we will definitely rattle a few feathers this season, thought the ref and linos were very poor not just for us but for galway too some dodgy decisions, the blatant handball in the box given as free out totally chickening out by ref
dav looked class, i think do barret and kearney are struggling to find there feet, it looks like they have lost a litle belief in themselves, the thing about it is though if they have a little belief in themselves they would realise they are well capable of dictating the play to lots of teams

i do feel though if we had gone with dav and reilly up top we would have scored more, galway were crapping it every time we ran at them cummins is more holdup whereas dav running at them thro the middle would have scared them

one bad thing is the injury to carey when he hit the free he immediately asked to be taken off, hope it was something small
the goal we conceded was a little unlucky keeper had set himself to collect and the deflection totally screwed him , but then somepeople said he shouldnt be beaten at his near post?
if carey had been on the pitch we prob wouldnt have conceded that goal because when he was subbed we lost a little shape

at least we are off the mark our first premier league point, now for our next easy game drogheda away:eek:

[Terry]

what was the attendance like?

[ramblers08]

good crowd there in fairness.....played well tonite referee killed us lik

[ramblersnb1]

i reckon alan kearney would be a better option then john kearney in midfield after tonights showing anyway

[Les Fluer]

Do they not have capital letters in Cobh?

Good to see ye off the mark anyway.

[rambler14]

We played well but just like last week Barrett and John Kearney offered little. Time to try a new combination next week IMO.
There keeper kept them in the match to be fair.

The referee was the worst i'd ever seen in Ramblers. He was absolutely terrible and only help prove the fact that referee's will be out to get Ramblers this year because lets face it, the FAI don't want us anywhere near the Premier Division.
My congratulations to Graham Kelly aswell, he became the first linesman to award an offside at a throw in in St. Colmans Park.:D
I can't wait to hear Hendo's comments about the officials because they were absolutely shocking. To me they looked like they'd taken a couple of dodgy back-handers.:confused:
2 games in and the officials have cost us at least 4 points. Who knows maybe next week they can make it 5 points.
What a disaster a good game wrecked by the officials.:mad:
MNS should tell a lot and at least one of the panelists was the to witness the drama tonight and should hopefully stand up for us.
On the plus side it was a great goal by Reilly and Galway wouldn't have scored if it wasn't for the deflection.

Also one thing was proved tonight after Alan Carey went off. He controls the back 4 and it wasn't until after he went off that they looked shaky.

I suppose we can look at this way. At one stage tonight we had more points than Cork City and Drogheda Utd. Now we have one point and were out of the relegation zone.

[Les Fluer]

that referee's will be out to get Ramblers this year because lets face it, the FAI don't want us anywhere near the Premier Division.

I am all for siege mentality and all that, but how do you make that one out?

As a Cork City fan, my reading of this is that it is an extension of the Dublin led anti Cork Bias.

Just back from the game. It was a day ill never forget:D

After we arrived we decided to head down town to the pub, we made our way down the hill in the rain, didnt take any notice of the massive puddles ahead until a car drove through and soaked me to the bone(the rest of the lads only got a bit wet, my jeans were soaked through nearly all over). So i asked a few lads in the pub was there a Dunnes or Pennys so i could get a cheap pair of jeans, was told not at 5.20:D

So i headed up to the ground from there to see was there a clubshop(would have bought a tracksuit bottom had there been any), the women behind the bar asked why to which i explained my story and she informed me that there's a tumble-dryer in the clubhouse. So i headed over and a member brought me into the laundry room, so off with the jeans and into the dryer. So im standing there in my underwear in the laundry room...which also happens to be where the kits are kept and id say 10 players came in looking for socks/shorts while im standing there, you could tell they were thinking ''WTF is going on here'', i could even hear me been discussed in the dressing room at one stage!!. Was the longest 20mins of my life:D

Thanks for all the help, it saved me been sick for the nest week, most other places it would have been ''why the **** should i care?''

Best Story ive heard in a while. Top Marks :D Fair play to The Ramblers

[luka]

POTM I'd say.

One question though.......are you sure it was water that you got soaked with? Cobh is known for weak bladders.......

Great game in fairness. I agree that the Ref was a bit suspect but thats life I suppose. A point was better than nothing at all but we should have had all three. Galway seem like a good enough side this year. Good night overall though.

[The Rebel Ram]

Great game, has given me a lot of confidence for the season.
Some great displays, pity about the result as we deserved the 3 points.
Ref was an absolute joke, and his assistants. Offside for a throw in!!!!!:confused:
Blatent penalty turned down. I don't know what half the free kicks given to Galway were for when it looked like they were in favour of Cobh.
If the FAI are serious about the league they will have to get serious about referees, they are ruining the game.
I don't know if O'Rielly is lacking a bit of confidece but he should have had taken a few shots himself instead of crossing, it would have been the better option.
I was disapointed at the end but confident too for the season ahead. We can stay up but will have to take our chances. Would be nice to take a point next Friday!!! It's a good time to meet them....

Great story :D

[Cici900]

I think Kelly needs to take his referees on another training course for the basic rules of soccer becaus e the three of them were absolutely shocking. I know alan kelly was fourth official because i told him the above.. I'know garaham kelly was a linesman but who were the others?

Muckie had a super game as did cummins rielly and dav

[Comic Book Guy]

I had a feeling it was going to be one of those nights when one of our players was flagged offside from a throw in:eek: Could and should have had a penalty when Mucky was taken out of it early in the second half.
We should have had that game well and truly sown up before they got their goal, overall though we played some great stuff, the one thing that is a worry for me is the finishing, at the back we were sound but at least we are creating the chances.

Thats brilliant. Thats a proper away day story


Does anyone know who the referee actually was?

The new PA was great luka your voice echoed across Cobh for 90 mins.:D

[ramblers]

I thought we dominated the game. We had plenty of chances to win it if we were a bit more clinical infront of goal. John Kearney played well but I think the yellow card for Barret effected his game.

The Ref aside we should have won the game well. If you do not hit the ball in the direction of the goal you will never score!! They had one shot at goal took a wicked deflection and scored we had plenty of chances ot do the same.

I think we only had one shot in the first half, the one Dav put wide. In the second we had about 5/6 good chances, Galway had one shot on goal in either half and scored with a wicked deflection.

Goals from GUFC forum

[ramsfan]

the crowd looks pityful when you see it on that clip, galway had the freedom of colmans to score that goal oh if only carey had stayed on

[rambler14]

It doesn't look that bad only up the top side it looks a little empty.

My Dad is famous. The camera pans in his direction after Reilly's goal.:D:D

[don ramo]

the east stand was wasted last night, is there any need to segregate galway and rams fans, with no history of aggresion on either side, it would have been nice roaring the ball into the net from behind the goals, anyone agree,

[ramsfan]

totally, leave the home fans in the rain, i thought it was good though that we couldnt go in the stand or enter thro the barrymore entrance but the galway fans could walk anywhere they liked shop.pub etc

[geezer]

ya kelly denied us a blatant peno last week, that ref last night seemed to like attention stopped gufc keeper delivering to o brien on the wing a few times, advantage my arse.

[gufct]

There was an incident at half time when some young scumbags got thru the joke of a security system Cobh had and tried to start on a couple of young lads from Galway. There names were taken by the Gardai and they were thrown out.

Cobh have no event controller listed and the majority of the private security last night were foreign and hadnt a clue what was going on god help ye with Bohs and Rovers if the setup is the same.

The majority of Cobh fans are sound but there was a Schooligan element last night there simply looking for trouble.

I was wondering were some of the knackers aound me and my friends dissappeared to. Good riddance to them. I hope they never come back in.

Cobh have no event controller listed

The event controller is listed in the programme.

Always has been, there are youngfellas who come to matches looking purely for fights and then they act like they support ramblers. Sometimes they even start on their own fans and being honest they are idiots. There is one fella who got banned for life when he was 11 but has since been let back in. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him.

FFS, that's all we need again, I thought they got rid of those feckin fools at the start of last year. It's the last thing we need for the City game. Imagine Prenderville on the following Monday talking about how insafe it is for kids etc. to go to a game. Security will have to be very tight, if ****e happens from those idiots it could cost a lot in fines and gate receipts for the season and we all know we don't need that!!!!:mad:

[ramsfan]

thus apparently the reason the city security crew were hired they need a chance do to identify the trouble last night was first game they were there

[depor]

some of them security people are fools,they think they are CIA or something lookin and skulling everyone out, *******. they sud wait and c the scum tat cum down from the northside( i know not all, just a few. but them few r suacy) and from rovers, then they'll see trouble.

i also think there was too much security on saturday, the costs must be huge.

So what was the attendance lads? Anything official?

I did and it was appreciated as I didn't get any for the Harps game. Was sitting in a pub with my brother at the time and it was good to show him how the club was embracing technology :D

[rambler14]

The pictures on the website look brilliant.

But luka why is the right-click button disabled? It never used to be like this on the old .com version, so why the sudden change?
There would be the odd one or two pictures i'd use for my desktop background or settling an argument on here.(By that I mean picture 22 which clearly shows Wesley Charles tackling Mucky in the box and fouling him)

ive no problem with the right click, its lets me save them, but a copyright window does open which is annoying, so its just you :D

[rambler14]

I get a box popping up which says "Copyright by Cobh Ramblers F.C - Photo Gallery"

[Sniffer]

So who was the ref then?:eek:

I was asked to place that pop-up there last year lads

But how come Don Ramo can save pictures and the rest of us can't?

[4th-div-are-we]

im looking to make a background for bebo from picture 21 of kieran o rielly...??

any chance you could pm me with the picture or just post it here??

Your an evil man Ramo, an evil man!:)

[don ramo]

naw just my computer is more than a paper weight:D

[rambler14]

The referee was Derek Tomney.
Who was the same fool who robbed us of a draw last week up in Harps. Two weeks in a row he's been appointed to a Ramblers game. Surely thats not fair.

[Rambler1]

im looking to make a background for bebo from picture 21 of kieran o rielly...??

any chance you could pm me with the picture or just post it here??Will PM you with pic. BTW Lads the reason right click disabled is to avoid unauthorised use of pics in premier. the photo and printing gear costs in the region of 4k plus so we will be looking at selling prints to recoup some of this cost back. Also will benefit Rams as a percentage of any photo sale will go straight to Rams.

I see what your on about but we arn't going to take advantage of the website. Any pictures we would take off it would be for our own personal use. (Desktop backgrounds,etc....)

Is there any way we could give an IP address which would allow only the owner of the computer access??????
