Utd Vs Bray.

Two crackers there in that game. Jay's second and Faherty's second.

Bray have a habit giving up once they think they're safe. It happened last year and, in the end, we had to beat Sligo on the last day to avoid the playoff.

Earlier in the year, we went on a good run and we were twelve points off relegation at one point, iirc. Then we started dropping points cause the players elaxed. We beat Cobh 2-1 a while back and once again we struggled afterwards. We beat UCD a while back as well then we dropped points afterwards.

The performances were slowly picking up against Bohs and Rovers and then we beat Derry. One more win would keep us up and, with all respect, Galway is one we should be looking to win. Insted of that, we go out and get spanked.

It's really frustrating to see.

That said, fair play to yez for picking yourselves up again.

Since mid September GUFC are playing some of the best football they have played in the last ten years.While comparisons with Arsenal are ott, the game in Sligo was way below what we have produced recently. The main reason for this is, in Galway we have a pitch that you can play the brand of football that Kenna wants them to play, in Sligo you have one of the worst pitches in the premier division. Although it will be very tough, hopefully you will see the type of football we can play on the telly in the FAI cup semi final against Derry on Sunday week. I'm sure you will also see Derry play a very attractive brand of football on what is one of the best pitches in the league.

We also got relegated that season!
Tony Mannions first game in charge after the departure of Roddys style hero, Mr Dave Connell. IIRC

On the subject of the pitch , it looked great as usual lastnight despite the lashing rain. It really is a credit to Noel Connolly and anyone else that looks after it.
If that match had been on in Richmond it would have been called off :rolleyes:

Lads, anyone think Vinnys goal will make Goal of the month on MNS> I think its pure class!!!

JK was taken off cos he was fading in the second half. And Connemaradonna (S Conneely)was just excellent defo our young player of the year. Russeler and Jayo for our POTY. What a great game for a good sized crowd given the conditions.

Anyone notice that one of the floodlight pylons wasn't working?

So who did they get to fix it?

Ex United player Mixie Harty, who is an electrician with a local company.

cant remember who was saying it earlier in the day (friday), but they were saying that J Keane was going into the match with a bit of an injury, that was picked up in training. My guess is this is why he came off, as a precaution?

I will give it a go at fixing the floodlight for free if need be ? If Im correct there is about 6 or 7 sparkies that attend terryland religously !

Just because alot of sparkies attend games doesnt mean they can fix it.A sparky friend of mine once "had a go" of fixing an electric box and ended up knocking out power to half of Woodquay for 2 hours:).No,im sure ye could do it,im just glad it didnt spread and game went on.
Cobh won last night though,DOH.
