We should win I think, although Peers is out through suspension:(. Really need to start getting back to 3 points per games now or else Europe is definitely out of the question. When was the last time(if ever) we managed to get 9 points off UCD in a season? I certaintly don't remember it anyway.
If everyone else is fit to play, prediction 2-1 Rovers.
would have been at least a good 25 years ago, because weve only beten UCD once in Belfield since 1975 afaik.Quote:

It's never happened. You did get 6 out of 6 in 1980/81 (and beat us in the Cup that year) and '81/82.Quote:

its a must win really, we have to be beating teams like this at home (no disrespect). think we'll have a full squad apart from peers, raff had a knock but should be ok....
hope judgy gets back on the score sheet anyway, give him a wee boost maybe if he needs one
i think 2-0 to rovers, both goals in the 2nd half
Sligo should be favourites for this one. We've got the capability to beat you but we've been blowing hot and cold (cold more often sadly) and have injury trouble. Sligo are in good form this year and have the edge on us in terms of encounters this season.
****e game, but deserved the win. Not much else to say apart from the ref was a joke at the best of times.
missed game tonite. what was crowd like. who played well ? who played
poorly? i see hughes scored again. from what im hearing drogheda are really out to sign him and have offered 2g per week. we all know rovers cant match that but they should be making some overtures toward him as i believe he is very fond of sligo and is well settled here. so money may not be everything. next up bohs? is this correct. if so hopefully we will have a big crowd travelling. if we could sneek a win up there it would be fantastic. and i think we can. but we need as much support as possible so let everybody get the word out to all their friends in dublin. this is now our cup final
3 points were vital last night if we want to be serious contenders fro a top 4 finish, the game might not have been the best but we got the win,sets us up nicely for bohs especially with us not having a game next week, it should give guys like judge and faz a chance to have a much needed rest,fair play to all in the jinks ave stand for the non-stop signing, was a bit disapointed with the crowd, i know u.c.d might not be the most attractive fixture on paper but defo think the lads deserve a better turnout considering how well we are doing compared to the doom and gloom at the start of the season,
Thought the football wasnt that bad, some good passing. Ventre doesnt take any prisoners, does he? Still, a ref who was giving frees for nothing didnt see anything wrong with his tackle, hope the UCD guys injury isnt too bad. Id say the RWC took some of the fair weathers away. The blue stand choir did make is sound fuller than it was. Bit of a nervous end but we got the result we deserved.
good result. a very dissapointing crowd but the rugby match definitely was a big reason for that. Great atmosphere in the blue stand. One thing i did notice was that fax was raging when foy wanted to take the penalty. he didnt celebrate the gol, he went straight to the half way line and waited for kick off. he didnt seem to put in the same effort afterwards. judge got a vital rest and hopefully he will be fresh for bohs. Very sloppy defending for their goal
I love this part of the above statement "Who played poorly?".who said any of them did. Any word on the Ucd lad.Hard but fair tackle, heard thee crack from where me sitting.Thought the incident knocked us off our stride!Quote:

the UCD lads leg is broke afaik
just wondering, how many ucd fans were there apart from yourself DDD?
injuries to judge and hughes. hughes and o grady suspended for the bohs game
There was 10 of us there. I was on my own to the left of your fans in the Blue Stand for the first half and joined the rest of us in the Railway End for the second half.Quote:

While that is a fair comment based on last night's game (we had a few injuries though) that isn't the case at all. We probably have the strongest team we've had since around 2000/01. We'd be higher up the table if we had been able to get our best XI on the pitch consistently.Quote:
