The mighty Drogs got off to a typical Doolo start to a season losing 0-2 at home to Derry City. What do you lot reckon will happen when we have Tony Mac back?

Great result! Honestly think there's too much hype over Drogs. Think we can sneak a win with our defence and our hex over them in Belfield. However, I think Drogs were missing something like eight players (and couldn't fill the bench), so there's going to be a lot of changes for next week. -
Only two out for the UCD game currently Sahne Robinson is suspended and Gary Rogers has a broken hand if we play like we did against derry you'll win if we play like we did against leeds today wud expect us to winComment

'Honestly think there's too much hype over Drogs.'
Yawn PS, change the tune will ye - we'll be alright - we had one bad performance and people jump the gun (and so did $hels). I'll worry if things are still the same in a dozen matches but til then i'll keep the faith.
The performance today against leeds was top class and if we dont stuff ye after todays performace on friday ill be disappointed (dont get away with yourselves, i was at the match on wed and you scraped a draw against a very poor $hles performance - gary o neill the only one that did anything for them - though i liked your banner for oilly
)

I think given the heat between Mahon and Doolo and the fact players seemed to dislike it under Doolo, plus the fact Doolo did a Doolo on us we should be suitably motivated for this one. With Tony Mac back, Dupuy a bit fitter and the team more settled I am looking forward to our chances in this one.Comment

Well thats one thing we can guarantee from UCD - they're so obsessed with Doolo they'll be fired up for this one - expect a back lash from the drogs after fridays performance though - it has to be a making for a cracker of a match!! Never look forward to matches in belfied but with the Mahon/ Doolo feud going strong, it adds that bit of spice

Actually, I'm not basing that on the Derry game...think I mentioned it in my season predictions too. No point getting into it here, but yez seem to be buying players to go full-time who aren't necessarily the best players (viz your own forum's comments re Andy Myler).Originally posted by Cosmo
Don't forget we were missing our two most experienced players - including our captain - and another player to boot; we had four debutantes, including two who had never even played senior football before. We've players to come back too...Originally posted by Cosmo
Ah! So someone did see it!Originally posted by CosmoI liked your banner for oilly )

UCD V Drogheda United
Cannot see anything other than a win for UCD. Only 1 win in 25 years for United at Belfield in the league says it all really.
P.s. and don't forget Doolo is a past master at having sh1t starts to the season. I seem to remember 1 point out of a possible 27 in 2003......

Ok then what did the banner say?Comment

That's better!
"PAY UP OLLIE" We actually put it up under the blue UCD flag and took it down during the game, because we thought the stewards would remove it immediately (like in Ballybofey). But instead it stayed up for the whole match! Which was slightly annoying because we'd tied about 30 cable ties onto it to annoy any stewards who tried to take it down!

Looking forward to this game now after the Shels game. You can't read much into Drogheda's first result with all those players out (didn't even have a full bench according to the radio!) but I think we have a great chance of getting a really good start to the season. We've always done well against Drogheda and I'm unconvinced that their squad is stronger for the changes they've made to go full time.
Our defence has looked good and Dupuy has to be a danger for a goal which was all we were really lacking against them last year (in the home game at least). Shels away has to be a harder fixture than Drogheda (or anyone else for that matter) at home so hopefully we'll go for the win.
I didn't think we were under too much pressure to be honest, I would have said that Shels scraped the draw if anything.Originally posted by Cosmo

We're not arrogant, we're just better.Comment
