I amn't stan :)

But I'll find out
Sure you're not.:p


Dave McMillan on up front; Paul O'Connor came on in midfield
Cheers.

Another question for you (or anyone else who might know the answer). Do you know if the following players are still with the club:

Scott Weir
Eoin O'Cinneide
Shane Flynn

Also who's this Ciaran fella that came on against Limerick?

[JR_Ewing]

Sure you're not.:p




I'm not I can assure you of that :D Will try to get you some of that info you're looking for.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Beat Cobh 5-0 today.

Timmy and Kelly got a goal each. That's all I know.

[JR_Ewing]

great win - cobh had some massive stockings playing for them and I thought they'd give a stronger test. I have to say I've never heard refs be given such direct verbals in a game. Maybe it was the small crowd but they really didn't help their cause in a game which seemed fairly reffed to me anyway. I left 10 minutes in to the second half at 2-0 for my own football game but it after UCD went 2-0 up it only really looked like going one way.

I guess it's always hard travelling far for a game but if I was reffing I would have shown a few more cards.

Beat Cobh 5-0 today.

Timmy and Kelly got a goal each. That's all I know.
Nangle, Kelly, Leahy, Timmy and Ger got one apiece. Cobh were undefeated up to that stage. Wierd division!

[pineapple stu]

Oh yeah. Though they were still undefeated!

[Schumi]

Who's this Nangle guy?

[pineapple stu]

Conor Nangle, I think (can't remember his first name, even though Maccer told me...) No other info though.

[HarpoJoyce]

......Cobh defaulted against Cork.

Thats unfortunate for Cobh. The original legaue match was the same weekend as the Munster Senior Cup Final so I thought it was a naturally postponement. Handy we for Cork.

[pineapple stu]

Today's game was cancelled, presumably because of the rain.

[Schumi]

We beat Tullamore 8-0 over the weekend. :)

Anyone know the team/scorers?

[pineapple stu]

Have asked Maccer.

What were the other results?

[DmanDmythDledge]

John Reilly and John O'Neill both got hat tricks. Can't remember who else.

[pineapple stu]

Harding and Bolger.

Galway won 2-1 in Cobh. Lims v Pat's was off, and I've heard nothing from Bray v Cork.

[Schumi]

Bray beat Cork 1-0. http://soccerway.com/national/ireland-republic/a-championship/2008/group-2

Tullamore match report: http://www.offalyexpress.ie/sport/Late-students-blitz-floors-Tullamore.4424051.jp
That's quite a good report, cheers. They seem to be missing a goal though. Presumably the free kick was Bolger.

[Schumi]

I counted 8 goals in the report. O'Neill's second and third are in the same sentence near the bottom of the first page. They have Keith Ward scoring rather than Harding too. :confused:

Missed Ward's goal.

[pineapple stu]

It was 1-0 at half time?!

[HarpoJoyce]

I've only noticed we are due to play Cork City away (Bishopstown) the same weekend as the Friday 26/09/08 game at Turner's Cross.

Add Value To Your Away Day!

[pineapple stu]

Might pop along to that so!

Wonder will the A Team support the senior team?

Anyways, league table as I make it at the half-way stage (two games postponed) -

Don't know who scored in the 2-0 Shield win over Bray.

[pineapple stu]

Drew 1-1 against Bray; Billy Brennan got a 92nd minute peno.

Pat's beat Cobh 2-0 to draw level with us at the top. Galway beat Tullamore 4-0 and Cork beat Limerick 3-1 (our defeat in Limerick is looking more and more incredible as the weeks go by!). Is it top four get through? Can't see Cork lasting the pace if their first-teamers are all leaving; important to beat Galway in our game in hand.

You can review the converstion on the FIRST page of this thread. It was a converstation you participated in.
Also, you may do the Maths on the amount of fixture dates left.

[pineapple stu]

My, you're a narky hoor.

Drew 1-1 in Galway today. Brian King scored in the 94th minute. A team having the luck the seniors need in the last couple of weeks. Pat's beat Tullamore 4-0.

[HarpoJoyce]

UCD A 3-0 Galway Utd. A

All the goaks coming in the second half. BillY Brennan beat Alvin Rouse from the penalty spot after the lively UCD number seven Ward was brought down.
Second from a shot on the edge of the box by Ward was deflected in by, I think, David McMillan ( sorry about that I kknew the answer two hours ago). And the last goal was scored by ex-Longford Town John 'Rocco' Reilly, who winded Rouse with a point blank header into the chest. With both players on the ground Rocco raised his foot and turned the dropping ball into the net with an overhead kick.

The kick off was delayed 45 minutes as the scheduled ref, Hilda MaDermott, was refeeing a game at two o'clock previously. I think some with Galway Utd may have wished she hadn't turned up at all as she let some of UCD's challenges go. UCD's two centre midfielders still ended up in the book.

Alvin Rouse's language is atrouious (like my spelling).

Next match is sheduled for next weekend versus Tullamore Town at the UCD Bowl.

[pineapple stu]

Sounds like a comfortable enough win? Needed that; had started to get a bit tight at the top. Four point gap now back to Galway in fifth.

[Schumi]

Four point gap now back to Galway in fifth.We have to win the section to get through don't forget. The gap to fifth isn't important.

[pineapple stu]

Ooh bugger. Better change the website so. :)

[HarpoJoyce]

St. Pats 0:4 Limerick37

And Limerick 37 deserved it. Their best players were their forwards. Tracking back, tackiling fulll lenght on the ground in midfield. Picking themselves up and running back up the field with the won ball.

Deserved win. It was diifficult to know who the full-time team was and who the talented players were. Wait a minute.....

[pineapple stu]

Excellent result for us; puts us back in the driving seat. Could do with the prize money this year! 5-0 win for us against Tullamore today - Rocco with three and Nangle with two. Four points clear with Pat's having a game in hand.

Edit - Cork 1-0 Bray. Galway 2-2 Cobh,

[pineapple stu]

Think this is how it looks now. Have a feeling I'm missing a couple of games though.

Cork away next week, same weekend as the seniors.

There's a few results missing there alright. Friday's programme had the table after 9 rounds with only Pats v someone missing. I'll try and find it and put it up later on.

[pineapple stu]

We've drawn with Cork, Galway and Bray, so I'm missing a draw for us and, I'd say, that entire round of matches.

[Schumi]

I think this is right now. There was an error in the W-D-L columns in the programme :o but I think I've fixed it.

The results you were missing were: Tullamore 0-4 Pats, Limerick 1-2 Bray, Cobh 1-2 Cork and UCD 1-1 Galway. I'm not sure who was at home in the games other than ours.

[pineapple stu]

You've Cork and Pat's the wrong way around.

So basically a win in Cork and we've one foot in the final? With three games to go, it'd basically be between us and Pat's. I think we go to Richmond next week.

[Schumi]

[pineapple stu]

[Getting way ahead of myself]Who's topping the other group? Could do with that E20k after the season we've had! No Cup runs, only team not to get any telly income, money owed to us[/Getting way ahead of myself]

[Schumi]

Bohs first, Harps second last time I checked.

[HarpoJoyce]

The programme table appeared to have a previous Cork 3- 1 Limerick 37 result as a draw. But the foot.ie table is the same as the published results.

Cork City are completing four home games in a row against us. they've won the other three and UCD are starting three away games with the Cork match. St. Pat's and Cobh being the others. Galway are in the middle of five(5) scheduled home games. This was broken with a UCd-Galway back match been played.

Bohs are clearly the best team in Group 1, they,ve beaten Finn harps twice. Finn Harps are in clear second, on points. They soak up alot of wins including 3-0 v. Drogheda Utd. at Utd. Park.
Drogheda are a threat by the fixture list. They play Bohs twice and another back match versus Shamrock Rovers.
Bohs are the best team, but if another club finishes aghead of them, what then?

(It's interesting reading pineapple stu's penny pinching regarding the reserve/third tier Division. But in the past, he was insistent on criticising any fan who enjoyed the League Cup and wished their club to do well. It's a learning curve a suppose, it's good it's recognised and he is more polite towards Irish Football competitions.)

[HarpoJoyce]

Cork City 'A' 0 : 5 UCD 'A'

game started at 100 mils an hour, Billy Brennan turned away a cross for a corner and a couple of minutes later UCD hit the Cork post, then Evan McMillan was takn don in the box by the cork 'keeper and the Cork player was sent off.
Billy Brennan then hit the penalty against the left-hand post.
The stand-in keeper also made a good save from a point blank volley, about seven minutes on the clock.

Ciaran nangle took controlof the game for UCD and scored twice and Brian Shorthall getting another inthe first half.
Nangle got his hattrick and Brian Shorthall his second after the break. UCD controlled the game throughout and were pushing forward 'til the end.

St.Patrick's Ath versus UCD next weekend at Richmond Park. For another top of the table clash.

Pineapple stu also found out we play Cobh Ramblers 'A' the same weekend as the Senior side play in St. Colman's Park. Senior Sat evening, 'A' Sunday afternoon would be expected.

[pineapple stu]

Really comfortable stuff, even allownig for Cork's misfortune with the early sending off.

To be honest, I don't really see the point of Cork entering the A League. They clearly bring nothing to it. They don't have any ambitions of winning it, so what's the point? Poor team, only 20 people there - frankly, the league would be better if they were kicked out and some as-yet-non-existant team were brought it.

Also, Galway beat Pat's 2-0, so we're seven points clear with four games left for Pat's. A win next week and I think we're mathematically in the final with three games to go. :)

Works for us.expense we could do without right now...

[HarpoJoyce]

Good Post.

We need five points to guarantee first place. If Galway Utd versus Cork City is a draw next week then we'll only need three points from our games.

[Schumi]

I make it that if we beat Pats, we need 1 point from our last 2 games, barring an enormous goal difference turnaround (we're currently +30 and Cork are +5), to win the group.
Table as I make it:

P W D L F A Pts
UCD 11 7 3 1 38 8 24
Cork 11 6 1 4 18 13 19
Galway 11 5 3 3 17 13 18
Pats 10 5 2 3 15 9 17
Bray 10 4 3 3 18 15 15
Cobh 10 3 2 5 13 22 11
Limerick 10 3 1 6 15 17 10
Tullamore 11 1 1 9 7 44 4
Does anyone have the Cobh v Bray result?
