Galway Disciplinary Problems for New Manager!!

Just picked this up.........

Galway United has fined two of its players and banned a supporter from the club for life following a number of incidents.

Both players have been fined one week's wages, one for making an unacceptable gesture to supporters at the game against Sligo Rovers and the other for an abusive contribution to a website.

Both players have also received verbal warnings.

The two players have apologised to the club and its supporters.

One supporter has been banned from the club for life and the behaviour of supporters will be closely monitored following the unacceptable behaviour of a minority of fans.


Galway United FC will not be commenting further on this matter.



What was all this about!!!!




Kenna has plenty to do eh!

Leech made the gesture anyway.

Don't know what the website business is about.

Leech made the gesture as has been discussed. The player who made the contribution is known to some but I'm not saying his name just in case.

Guy that got the ban has to be Mr. Burberry?

Great to see Galway act so efficiently.

Nope, it's a different player.

A disciplinary problem is when incidents like the above occur and you don't do
anything about them.

United have acted promptly. The supporter that allegedly has been banned for life was previously warned about his behaviour, so he can have no grounds for complaint.

Utd get a fairly big piece headlined by the lifetime ban of a supporter, the fineing of 2 players and of course the small matter of Jeffs appointment.
A case of all publicity is good publicity. The logo looks good on telly, the press conference looks very professional and well attended. i believe the new manager was a bit surprised by the interest.

Roll on friday
actually jeff is just about 2 feature on tv3 now
jez this is great

im sure lims fans are a bit envious 2nite

it said on extratime.ie that lester was the other player fined

I can't see this ban been enforced, at home maybe but not at away matches, what are they going to have a picture of him at the gate?

Just after watching the Jeff interview on MNS on rte.ie. I have to say I was impressed, he came across well, and didn't have "the frightened rabbit appearance" of previous manager Tony Cousins when asked a question. Well done, Jeff, now if you can only organise a victory over Bray on Friday night, then I would be extremely happy.

And rightly so. How did he travel to Sligo?

Any individual banned from Terryland Park from Galway United FC will be banned from GUST buses to away matches. If they are found to be members of GUST, their membership will be revoked.

GUST are having a meeting with GUFC today about fundraising. When we clarify the identity of the person who received the life ban, the above action will be taken.

It is worth mentioning that the vast majority of supporters who travel to away matches behave exceptionallly and are a credit to Galway United FC. Many (in some cases most) of these people are brought to the game by GUST. Unfortunately, at the Brandywell in ten days time, it will be back to the usual 10-20 GUST people and around ten others present to support the club.

Lets hope they behave themselves

Yes, no responses to V-signs !

In relation to gilbertos post, there is very little to stop this individual going to most away matches, provided he travels independently.
