Our run in...

[sadloserkid]

Well...

you would say that wouldn't you!

[UCD_4_Life]

Absolutely terrible.

About 5 minutes in and somehow Pat Jennings managed to...well I don't know exactly what happened but it looked as he's come for a ball that he hasn't claimed, all he needed to do was shout for the defender to move and he collects the ball and we don't go 1-0 down. Instead he tries, almost Superman-like, to fly over him and majestically catch the ball. Unforunately he kicks the defender in the head and lands rather un-superman like on the ground and drops the ball and the rest, as they say, is history. For the rest of the first half $hel$ look the better team although we have the odd attack. No Chances.

Early in the second they bring on that Dundalk reject Nesovic and he scores with his first bloody touch, To$$er.

From then on we had one or two quarter chances, no half ones. Robbie Doyle (who disappeared for large parts of the game) had a deflected effort easily saved, we had about 6 or 7 corners and not one of them even trouble their GK

I really am confused. Although we were missing our best player (Bazza) we really didn't look like the team that almost beat Bohs and that beat Cork and picked up other great results over the last 6 weeks or so. Oh, why was Clive Delaney taken off so early for Richie Purdy? He didn't look injured.

Frustrating

It's like we'd gone back to the $hite we were playing earlier in the season. Had we not conceded the early goal it might have been better but we did nothing for the whole game.

Run in

This weekend is crucial. I don't know what i want to happen. All i know is i want us to beat longford!!!

I suppose a draw between drogs and bray is for the best. We have to play Derry aswell of course. If we win two games we're safe from bottom in my book. If those two games are the 6 pointers v drogs and bray, great. I just hope we keep the spirit up. Believe we can beat Drogs Bray Derry. I think we may end up with 5 points from the last 6. So will Bray possibly :|.

It's touch and go lads...

If we only get 5 points from the last 6 games, we're fúcked. I think we need 9 to give us a shot at staying up automatically.

Wins against Drogheda and Bray are a must. Then out of the other 4 we need at least 3 draws.

We are capable of beating anyone (I think we've proven that) but we've picked the worse time to drop out of our purple(ish) patch.

Hopefully Barry won't pick up anymore enforced days off as the confidence of having him in goal is good for the defence (and my heart).

Yeah, let's hope there's no more dodgy goals against us so.

Shamrock Rovers 0-1 Derry

Peter Hutton is the scorer. Git.

[UCD_4_Life]

3-1 to Rovers.

Nice

Cheering for Rovers!!!


I say how awful it is to find a UCD fan cheering for Rovers. True Derry aren't out of the woods and it would be nice to have someone else in the relegation dogfight but that doesn't mean it's ok to cheer for Rovers.

Quite right, inexcusable.

Is Jennings playing tomorrow night???

Pat Jennings

NO...but to be fair to him, it was a definite free out. Did u see it on Monday nite? Geoghan clattered Clive D who went straight into Jennings and said knacker picked up the loose ball...definite free out....

Stuff like that is always happening when I see it on TV, it's completely different from the way it looks at the ground. For instance Darragh Ryan's saving tackle against Cork was a sliding one when I was there but he just ran in when I saw it on TV3.

Bray 0-1 Drogheda, I hate Myler.

Derry 2-0 Pat's

Derry have heaped a lot more pressure on Pat's but have also given us a few more problems.
