Your turned up parked 3 double decker buses and left them on front of your goal.
Also the amount of time wasting by your side was a disgrace as was Mr keown.
First half was a non-event, sparring more like, second half was better. We had some good chances in near the end but the lack of quality we have showed. Darren Browne is useless, why he is even near the Youths team is beyond me. Richie Fitz had a great chance in the first half but crapped himself he was clear through and scuffed his attempt.Quote:

The ref was a clown ruined the game, the linesman and lineswoman why the hell have them when they don't do the whole line.
Boo hoo, thats like UCD fans complaining about Pats paying bigger wages to better players if they had lostQuote:

that was some result.
We seriously rode our luck tonight and the ref again was awful.
The drogs played us off the park but I'll take that result any day of the week.
starting to get a nose bleed now at the dizzy height of joint third (4th on goal difference)....
Tip.
So what if they are, if clubs like Pats, Cork, Bohs etc. don't like it then give these clubs money to improve their playing squadQuote:

Poor game down here tonight. Expected a lot more from Sligo(and from us for that matter) but at this stage any win will do.
The first sending off was for a second booking for diving inside the penalty box. Was the opposite end to us so didn't see it properly.
Anyway good night results wise for us.
All Rovers fans,Devine and a RTE commentator said it was a peno.What did Butler get sent off for?Quote:

He also disallowed a perfectly good Denis Behan goal becuase your keeper fumbled it after he jumped into Denis.
It was directly across from me and all denis did was not move out of the way.Quote:

i voting harps as the worst ever team to play in the Premier league ever....ever ever, fair enough they a club but in some horrible way at least UCD can get points or play well enough to earn a point, harps = poo.Quote:

Paul Tuite won't have any friends in Drogheda for a while.
In the second minute, Adam Hughes headed the ball past Skippy and it was going in...until Derek Foran flapped his hand at it. He was on the line, deliberate handball, definite goal and Tuite did nothing.
It should have been a straight red and a peno but he waved play on. Easily, the worst decision I've seen in this league.
We didn't play very well tonight but we won again which is brilliant. The goal came from a Stuey Byrne mistake. He passed the ball across the Drogs defence and Kav picked it up. Ewings gave Kav the entire goal to aim for and it was an easy chance.
Bray had one more chance after that. Drogs dominated. They hit the post three times and had many more half-chances. I'd love to see the possession stats for the game. It was great to get the result and fair play to the lads for managing to get the ball away from goal in the end.
It just would have been so much different with Foran sent off and Drogs getting the peno on two minutes.
1st trip to the RSC. Enjoyed the singing etc Pity the new stand is so far away 'cos of the running track as I'm sure some of you lads raised the odd tune but we couldnt hear yez:D
Great hospitality (Oldyouth was on a bit of a sponser's junket) but can I ask why cars were made park across and along the main road when only some people were allowed enter your vast new carpark inside the ground??

The amount of stupid yellow cards was unreal. Ref got some abuse when walking off and rightly so. One of the worst reffing displays i have witnessed.Quote:

Pat's played some short passes around our box.
Sometimes they reached the by-line. But it took them awhile to get the one shot on target in the first half. UCD play the ball from the back, nowadays that may be considered 'timewasting' that would be unfornatunate. Pat's increased the tempo for five minutes in the second half and there was a real concern that a named player would go down in the box and claim a penalty. That didn't happen, but Kirby did hit the crossbar.
Pete Mahon put on Timmy Purcell up-front to relieve some pressure and after derek Doyle went off with cramp, Patrick McWalter switched to the left wing, UCD continued to carry the ball forward.
One out of one without a goal, it's a worry for UCD.
I was a good bit away but there didn't seem to be anything wrong, goal should have stood. We should have had a penalty, terrible decision and then McKenzie had to get his second yellow if the ref thought it was a dive :mad:Quote:

But you don't mention that you had about two shots on target, both straight at Matt Gregg?Quote:

I'm not sure that sentence makes sense, but the way I saw the game was that Pat's were shown up to be a poor enough team. Faced against a team who could defend well, they lacked any sort of imagination or ideas. Surprised how easy the point was for us.Quote:

I agree it shouldn't have been a free but in fairness the ref blew a few seconds before Behan took his shot so players had stopped.Quote:

It said McKeown on the programme, thats why people are mentioning him. Hanney was brutal, he should spend the rest of the year in the schoolboy leagues. Has to be the worst performance from a ref all year.Quote:

If there was a refs accessor as the game last night, he will have been kept very busy. Cringeworthy stuff. Spoke to a few people who dont usually go to games and they couldn't believe have bad it was.
Its at crisis point now in my opinion.
:eek:Quote:

Harps are absoloutely shocking,easily worse than us and took an undeserved point.
Having said that 4 defensive errors cost both teams goals and both teams are destined for relegation.
The game last night was a pure snooze fest. Ucd set up the bus in front of the goal and we couldn't break it down.At times it looked like we just didn't want too. We are going to have to learn how to put teams like that away if we want to win the league otherwise every team whos happy with a point will do it.
Anyone else notice a common factor running through the thread - we have some terrible referees! The bray decision must have been bad, all papers comented on it and the mirror even gave a headline to it. Also heard from a sligo friend that it was a definite penalty down at the cross. Makes you laugh when you see crowe getting a penalty for falling over himself.......
Agreed, iv'e never seen a worse decision in my life.... Tuite should be given a serious ban for it.Quote:

Drogs started better and should have had a peno but it wasn't given. They didn't create anything of note for the rest of the half, they had most of the ball but we didn't let them do anything with it.
Did Rowe not send Kavanagh clear? I'm almost sure he split the Drogs defence with his pass for Paddy to run onto, very cool finish.
We defo created more than once chance after that as well. Paul Dunphy came very close on 2 occassions, grazed the bar from 25 yards out and then blasted wide (both 2nd half). We caught Drogheda on the break a few times as well and Rowe set Daz free but for Gavins studs Daz had a clear shot on goal from 6 yards out.
Over-all it was a good team preformance by Bray, we defended really well and looked like a team that would do anything for eachother, very resolute and confidence is rife in the squad.
Roll on Sligo next Saturday, a draw would do me nicely but the way were going all 3 points is not impossible... but i fear our run of 7 unbeaten will end soon....
And I remember everyone laughed when Eddie Gormley said he had European aspirations:eek:
Boo hoo. The anti UCD-bile, while nothing new, gets more and more far fetched every week it seems. The audacity of the litte paupers for not attempting to go out and outpass arguably the best team in the league. :rolleyes: There's more to football than prettiness and if UCD grind their way to safety and Harps or whoever else pass (or misplace passes) their way to relegation than UCD deserve credit for cutting their cloth to suit their measure. The reason they stay up year after year is because they're a better football team, maybe not prettier but better, than the teams that go down instead.Quote:
