. Over all that was the worst display since DOR. No pride or passion what ever happened too "as long as I'm here all players will give 100%" BTW UCDD's no. 3 is a cheat.
pineapple stu get off your high horse 100 away fans is still a 100 more then you will bring to the Showgrounds. Enjoy the LSL next year.
ok so its a really poor performence but its not a disgrace....ucd are a good side and have a years more experience in the premier division....its a very disappointing result and performence alright but lets put things in perspective......before we used to lose to them in the 1st division....:}
we arent going to stroll along all season in this league picking up points every week...we will get hammered occassionaly[doesnt everyone] and i know you dont expect it to happen vrs ucd but lessons will be learned...eventually we will stop conceding from free kicks:rolleyes:

Also, you havn't beaten us in 25 years or something in the league. What made you think you were favourites? Also, Sligoman we've beaten Bray 4-1 and yous 3-0 at home, drawn with Cork and outplayed Shels in Belfield. Easy place to come to- don't make me laugh.

And everyone seems to assume that becasue we are a small club with limited fans means that we can't play football. UCD are a well established Premier Divison side and have had more good seasons than bad in the top flight. I can't see any reason why people think UCD will be relegated this season other than an opinion based on prejudice against a small club.Quote:

It's important to remember tha league standings are pivital to qualify for the elite league.UCD would be easy to relegate if they finished in the bottom 3 but if they're mid table it will be harder to send them down.
The common misconception that GUFC are "certs" for next years elite league is rubbish.:rolleyes:
If we keep playing the way we are we wont be in it next year at all.However top 2 should see us into the league.Sligo will definitely qualify next year provising yee don't finish in the bottom 2....which yee won't.
No he's not. A lot of Sligo fans are just ignorant and bad losers, as this thread shows. Sligo were happy to kick our players at any stage possible, as witnessed by the fact that our physio was on the pitch at least three or four times during the game.Quote:

Though I suppose you know different...Quote:

Agree with stu there with a lot of what he is saying i dont see how we think that we "should" be beating UCD . they are a lot more experienced than us
So, you, who visits Belfield once in a blue moon, reckon you can count the crowd better than Scumi who does it every home game quite meticulously? We know the capacity of our stand and we know how to gauge the people standing around the fences. In the odd dull game where there's been a particularly boring period I've counted the people standing around the pitch from my seat and there can be 3 or 4 times more than I'd have guess, and that's being without being able to see the corners on both sides of the stand. The ratio of Sligo fans to others was 1:1 at best unless you are claiming you brought close to 300 fans.Quote:

In fairness he could say that you're one of the minority of idiots around the country who think that the likes of UCD ,CHF etc should be in the top flight next year?:confused:Quote:
