Odd that none of the games were shown live tonight - each of them crucial to the only two things still left to decide (Europe and relegation) - after games were shown pretty much through the whole season:confused:
And saying that these were refixed games isn't really an excuse - the games involving the cup semi-finalists were always due to be played tonight and were always more than likely to be important in one way or another.
Where's the arrogance?Quote:

Why was Conor Sammon sitting in the stands tonight?
rested?
Rested for the cup game on Sunday. Only missed two or three games since the start of the '06 season.Quote:

Pats Cork game would have been great for tv, some great counter attacking from us and some great build play from them.Quote:

Gary "Hand of God" O'Neill scored a pretty simple goal, and Anders frustrated the life out of us, (Its a blessing he's from Cork, imagine having him every week)
Booking Woods after he had been assaulted by the Pats right full trying to waste time. Billy was trying to pick up the ball for a throw.
The worst thing for me was the raising of the white flag from our lot with about 5 minutes to go, disgraceful carry on and they were rightly booed off the pitch.
Pats brought a decent crowd for a Monday night, fair play.
It's not arrogance, it's positivity. You should try it some time.Quote:

We're not out of the woods but I don't think we'll go down and any of the other teams in the relegation fight would give their right winger to be in our position.
On a dispassionate level, one is inclined to agree with my fellow UCD fans but it is always high risk to start assuming anything in this game....
Anyhting could happen - we could beat Pats and end any speculaiton but do any of us relaly think that it is out of the question for us to lose 2 games ??
We will all look very silly if the last game in Belfield Park is not St Pat's but a playoff against Cobh or Dundalk or somebody......
Never assume because it makes an Ass of U and Me ;)
I consider there to be a difference between arrogance and fact. ;)Quote:
