nobody played particularly well in waterford and i also thought lester had a ****emare. i dont give personal abuse to anyone wearing the galway united jersey but feel entitled to voice my opinion if someone is having a crap game. he has had a good season so far and anyone has an off game so get over the fact that he had a crap gameQuote:

You tell me to get over the fact that he had a crap game in Waterford?:confused: I'm well over it.
Get over yourself. Hope your weekend improved since you posted this nonsense.
Lester got some awful abuse in Waterford including being yelled at to "f**k off back to limerick you fat c**t" . I was disgusted by it and let the person who said it know of my disgust . Also on friday night what was the story with the boos just after the game I hope it was directed at Pat Whelan even if it seemed to be at the team.
no it was definitely the ref that was being booed - but when a few of the players started coming over - you would hope cheering or at least the booing would have stopped - i admit it looked bad enough alright
wasnt in the stands at the end of the match was down at the gate congratulating a few of the lads for having a good game. there was a lot of people down at the gate giving abuse to the ref, i threw my 2 cents in as well. i'm pretty sure that nobody was booing anyone on the team because in all honesty it was hard to expect too much. it was a terrible night for football and we just needed to steady the ship after waterford. i said before the game that i'd be happy with a point and i'm still happy with it. now, to focus on the bohs next week and getting another result
Makes sense, I thought it was a bit much booing your team after a draw with a top half team in farcical conditions.Quote:

i think its time the lads started pulling the weight they've been clapd off all year even though it hasnt been anywhere near good enough(btw in case ye'r thinking i didnt boo the ref/players off, im just not opposed to it)
secondly schumi im sorry if i offend you but UCD are no big cats that we should be happy against drawing with..... they are punching well above there weight this year and i didnt think ye we'r much better then bray(i know conditions we'r bad in case you challenge that statement considering the weather)
We comfortably beat Bray earlier in the season so I don't know about that. Tbh, I don't mind people underestimating us, it probably helps us. I would have been disappointed with a draw against you guys before the game too but the wind made it such a lottery that a draw isn't too bad.Quote:

Only one of those defeats was at home, and eight of the draws were away too. It's been fairly consistent over the past few years, which discounts your thoery that it's only this year we're punching above our weight. Longford are the only team to have beaten us more than once in that period. That doesn't really equate with your idea that we're a team who are just a bit better than Bray (record 7-2-1-21-7 in that time). We're not exactly title contenders, but if you're going to be disappointed with a draw against us, you're setting your sights too high.
As requested (!) I'm not taking offence or anything. If you want to underestimate us, it's no skin off my nose. We've gotten very consistent against the teams in the lower half of the league, so a draw is a good result for youz.
'were' obviously. :rolleyes:Quote:

Stu nobody is allowed point this out to Gilberto as he thinks we should be beating everyone because we have gone full time 4 monhs ago and Galway is a huge city. :)
Oops.
Looking forward to his reply even more now, actually. :)
surprise surprise if it isnt our ''best supporter'' telling the gospel according to...himself!Quote:

in relation to your ''nobody is allowed point this to gilberto'' sure your the only one i argue with(and anybody argueswith btw) and by saying ''nobody'' your trying to say you plus more ppl when in fact im not the friendless person on this forum
take a look in the mirror before you go around accusing ppl of things because ive never met such an arrogant ''im the best fan'' supporter at the club(or any kind of a club for that matter)
while your having a go at me ill have one at you...... how many other GUFC fans on here are happy at our situation at the moment??.... gufct is happy anyway anyone else agree??
..... 1 win, 2nd bottom, constant tactics/stragedy changes, players playing out of position,a junior ''b'' team standard player constantly starting(up front)........ oooh that(to quote from our forum)....''anyone who's been following GUFC for yrs would bite your hand off for where we are nw''.. :rolleyes:
btw it has nothing to do with been gone full-time not like this is our 1st yr aswell, and yes a city of galways size should be competing with the likes of cork and playing in europe every 2nd year!!.....
you might be happy at looking back to 1991 judging by your mentality but the majority of supporters arent and unless omething changes soon we could be back playing the likes of the mons and kilkenny again
grow up and stop taking snipes at me cause im getting sick of it now!
Rattle and Cot are the two words that spring to mind. Ive never said anywhere that im a better gufc supporter than anyone else ill leave that to the people who know it all.
you dont have to say it....it shows(not saying that u didnt to someone at some point)Quote:

you should think long and hard about yourself before you call me a baby;)
Not travelling on the supporters bus has more to do with my work than anything else and the fact that I organised the self same buses for 15 years makes your point look rather stupid. I have been travelling on the supporters bus this season as well and always sit or stand with our fans chanting and singing so I dont know where that leaves me not being friendly with anyone.
I know most GUFC supporters of any age and watched a lot of them grow up and would consider a majority of them as friends so just because a certain few like abusing me here or at matches it still doesnt bother me .
OOOHHHH TOMMY
Not to worry I will be your friend and I will have nothing bad said againist you so there .
T just put the money in the bag and address it to Claret Murph and leave in it Athenry in the same spot as always .
and just when I was feeling so friendless;) .Thanks Claret for restoring my faith in Mankind.:D
well i havent missed a game this year and i only remember you been on ONE bus on the way back and sitting up the front quietly:confused:Quote:

well you might have a lot more fans from the current crop if you didnt go around personally abusing fellow posters all the time...this is after all a forum where every thread and post is a conflict of interest as such.... just the majority of us can keep our conflicting opinions at a mature debatable level
And whats wrong where I sit on the bus or how I travel to games as long as I get there and sing and chant for my team.Mature Debate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
well now your going back on what you said.... u lied and said you've been on the buses and having the laugh with the fans which isnt true!.....Quote:

Lads - Get a room or pm each other. This is getting embarrassing - Who sits where on the bus:confused:
it has nothing to do with sitting where on a bus and if you read it all you'd have seen that... im sick of him having personal digs at me concerning my posts on here and our forum..... the bus thing was him lying btw :pQuote:

Now to be a true fan you have to sit in the back of the bus having the crack anything less and your a fraud.
Sorry - Was getting bored with it so was just skimming over it:DQuote:

I think this is highly entertaining- nice work lads :D
no you we'r refering to the supporters buses its plain to see above!!.... stop playing the innocent victim ploy here you have been having personal swipes at me for a while now...you even made a remark about claddagh in a post of the other forum.... you dont even know who i am... i know who you are though as after the 2nd or 3rd time you had a swipe i took it upon myself to find out who it was....Quote:

OR booed the players off...i however feel i have a right to voice my dissapointment of the predicament we find ourselves in considering i attend every game(which has a high cost away frm home) without having it turned personal by someone who doesnt even know me!.
i however dont want to argue with you or neither am i getting pleasure out of this... i have no problem with an argument of opinions with posters on this or other forums but you are the only person who has turned it personal..... if you leave it out ill happily keep to myself!
It might be an idea then to defend your views that Galway shouldn't be happy with a point against UCD in light of the stats you were given rather than going off on some puerile, semi-literate rant.Quote:

if we we'r in your position then maybe a draw wouldnt be too bad but having said that we are 2nd bottom and only have one win we need to be beating the likes of sligo,ucd and rovers at home and taking the point away as a decent point!
Seriously, where did you pick that up?!Quote:

(Note - that last is not intended to go over old issues again; it's just a fact unfortunately).
I think gufct's spot on with his analysis, to be honest.
the best we could have hoped for??..... what game we'r you watching??... we could have easily beat ye apart from ye'r ball of the line we created far the better chances..... we should have beat longford too and waterford last week we should have been 2 up after half time if moran could finish a 1-on-1Quote:

you mustnt have been following our reports of games all year(i know u were'nt sure why would you or anyone else from another club, but in relation to where we are in the table doesnt neccassarily tell our year so far)
I just showed you the stats. In 39 games against Galway, Sligo, Longford, Bray and Waterford over the past 3½ years, we've lost six times. Those odds are simply stacked against a team like youz.Quote:

We were also missing most of our midfield through injury, and the weather made a complete mockery of everything. So a draw was fair, you only get one point and the table is telling the truth, unfortunately.
That's why.
