Might as well kick this one off.
Huge huge game next Friday. Having seen Harps at Terryland earlier in the season I think we'll score one maybe two anyway. Harps looked shambolic at the back that night but somehow got away with a point. Question is though can we keep them out at our end at the same time?
I have a horrible horrible feeling the occasion will get to us, we'll lose on Friday, and it will be ball burst, game over. We were on a great run but the wheels have come off lately, and Harps have a decent record in Terryland. Hope I'm wrong, but . . .
Anyway, think we need to win as they have Shams at home on the last day and you have to fancy them to win that, so we need 3 points on Friday
Its down to how much Jeff and the players want it. The hunger that had been evident in the last couple of months wasnt there on Sunday and we have to be up for this game there is no room for excuses anymore .
My heart says we will win my head is in a tizzy. The other missing piece of the equation on Sunday was vocal support and if we do not get in excess of 3,000 at this game we might as well pack the tent lads.
please god i hope cobh get relegated. cant see them getting past 29 points and that wont be enough. hopefully whoever wins friday night should be safe.
my head says that galway will pull through. i could handle harps saying up but galway offer more to the league.
If Harps win they are safe full stop.Quote:

If JK plays Glynn he'll give us a great quick option if Harps are forced to attack there'll be gaps... and if Cobh lose then we just have to get over UCD away, which isn't a great way to finish but I think we have enough to grind out a 1-0 or 2-1 in Belfield.
anyway........ arbitration awaits...
We have an awfull recent record against Harps in Terryland.Every time we should win we end up scraping a draw against them.Our bad run lately is only 2 games against Derry who are probably our bogey team anyway.I want Jeff to play the same system that he ahd been doing when we had a full team.Thats the usual back four,Foley and Lester on front of the back four with an attacking 4 of Russell,Keane,O'Shea,Faherty.Harps will probably say thye are not coming down to just "park the bus" but id be very surprised if they start with 2 up front.Im so nervous about this game.Im bringing someone to it whos never been at a Galway Utd before so heres hoping they are good luck:).
Like everyone else I have a bad feeling about this one as I just know Parkhurst will score . I do see loads of goals so I would say 2-2 or even 3-3 would not shock me , but we all know if we don't win it's near the end of the line . Hope I am wrong again .
not if cobh win their last two games (unlikely but possible) and harps fail to beat shams. full stop removed maroon.Quote:

Huked n fonix werked fer u
Havent been this nervous for a home game since the Play off final first leg vrs Drogs a few years ago.I know we had cup semi's this year but THE LEAGUE MATTERS MOST in my opinion and its why im more nervous now.
C'MON UTD.
3-0 McCullogh, Murphy and Lester free kick in injury time. In our own hands now going into the last game of the season, which everyone would have taken at the end of august after the game against Cobh. I have said it before but jeff has done a great job, he is a proper manager unlike the clown we had before. Again the fans played their part which the have all through the recovery. I left the new stand at half-time to saviour the atmosphere in the old stand and to change our luck, success on both counts. If we stay up it will be some achievement, but still a lot of work to be done.
Class,the new stand was buzzing at the end of the game.I had no reason to be so nervous before hand,we dominated the midfield but are lacking up front but we all knew that anyway.WHY WAS MURPHY PLAYING AND NOT RUSSELL??Murph chipped in with a nice goal though so its ok.A friend told me that apparently the guys in RTE thought we were excellent etc etc.
In our own hands now and should put a poor UCD side away next Friday but wont be easy.
WE ARE STAYING UP SAY WE ARE STAYING UP:).
Jeff is a miracle worker, great performance, clean sheet and in front of cameras and a fine vocal home crowd. We played that ball around the pitch at times really well. Not good having such a crowd and no match programme or lotto tickets for sale? (whats goin on there) they should have left them activities for the fans. the club must have foregone 2grand on programme sales tonight.
it was a brilliant night though and shows the league is worse off without a club from galway
GUST were selling Lotto tickets tonight in the new stand (before the match and half-time) and in the old stand (half-time).
157 Lotto tickets were either sold or returned by sellers at Terryland tonight.
Thanks to those who make the effort on a weekly basis to help out.
We set up our stand inside the turnstile, but closer to kick-off, the rain started to come down. While we would be perfectly happy to stay in the rain, very few people ever stop to buy tickets in it. The best thing to do in this situation is to retreat to the stand and sell them where people are much more likely to want to buy. There were lotto sellers going up and down the aisles of the new stand before kick-off and at half-time as always.Quote:

at half time i was up havin prawn sambos over the clubhouse for the 1st time this season it feckin cost me a tenner as well, Martin quinn was collecting for the tea lady up there for her efforts all season and i was just trying to ensure i got some final value out of mys season ticket. Didnt see any lottos for sale up there
Fair play to MQ - anyone who can get a tenner out a clubhouser is a miracle worker !
Fat chance any clubhousers would buy any...Quote:

Maybe he lost his keyboard ;););)
hahahaha
I have a feeling there is going to be an unbelieveable amount of UCDD fans next week with donegal and cork accents !
I agree with you there geezer, MQ for chairman, a true supporter of our club.
The more I think of it the more I realise there is no way we deserve to stay up ahead of Galway United. GUFC recognised that they were paying a waster of a manager and that they were overspending and took steps to address both concerns during the season.
We just ploughed on, letting a tosser and his mentor severely damage our club. GUFC made some dreadful mistakes this season but at least demonstrated an ability to change direction when those mistakes became apparent.
The full game can be watched again on RTE Sport website
