granted this is the GUFC forum, but some of the comments on friday night's game are even more biased than i thought they'd be. You're two goals came from some of the worst defending I have ever seen. Apart from these I didn't see Galway having much threat to the Harps goal. We were extremely nervous at the back, but in Gethins Parkhouse and Williams I felt we were slightly better than galway, attacking wise.
Harps will do extremely well to stay up i can see galway staying up ahead of them they are for sure the two worst teams in the league cobh and ucd have what it takes to stay up.Quote:

What exactly were you expecting people to say in this thread?
I think we can still stay up and it's far from over for sure but there's been no positives at all yet this season bar the appointment of Kenna and the sacking of that other clown.
I wasnt expecting everyone to be positive but the doom and gloom here with people saying we are already down is crazy.So according to people here we should just give up now is it??There may not be many positives but it doesnt mean there wont be,or that its hopeless.
Ya that's true and the points tally to stay up does'nt change either, out of those 23 games we need at least 8 wins and a few draws(5-6), it's achievable but when yopu only have 3 points from the first quater of the season then the prospects of that happening are slim to the say the least, i'd be more confident if it was a ''One Up One Down'' season but with 3 going down and us been clear at bottom by a few points, my confidence would'nt be too high.Quote:

Nah mate, I have a very thick skin, otherwise I wouldn't bother doing it. Thanks for pointing that out by the way. Obviously should have been first home point. My sincerest apologies.Quote:

Now the United defending was pretty bad but Harps I thought were shambolic at the back. In the first five minutes alone United almost scored twice when the ball was flying about the Harps box like a ping pong ball and that set the tone for the evening as regards the standard of defending on show. A better side than United would seriously have scored four or five. Fair play to Harps though. They made the very most of the little possession they enjoyed.
I know its a Premiership thing but....Look at what Fulham done. The positivity is needed on the terraces in order to stop the players from dropping the heads. Having said that July cant come quick enough IMO.
Only 6 league games in total left before july! There are only 2 league games in june. Hopefully we can scrap as many points as possible until then.Quote:

It's up to the lads first and formost!!.Quote:
