Enjoy the First Division - you deserve it
Kom Igen, FCK...
galway -v- harps the live broadcast next week.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhh?
Name and Shame !!!!!!!!!!
Battling for survival and you had fewer than 100 fans there? at least some people care about Harps/ Cobh/ Galway.

LOL @ threatening e-mails (not at Reitoir, just the idea of them..)

the battle is over sonofstan, with ye beating them tonight and harps winning they are relegated. They have 2 games left and are now 7 points behind harps who are fourth from bottom.
The important thing is for them to finish last, with the Drogs/Cork situation they might be reprieved otherwise. Réiteoir - pass 'em on the guards, or better yet post them up here!
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
How threatening can a UCD fan possibly be?!?!
Damn them and their flagrant obeying of the rules to hell!!!Enjoy the First Division - you deserve it
I've communicated with Reiteoir about the name and e-mail. Doesn't seem to be anyone I've ever heard of.
Our battle ended when we lost to Cobh a fortnight ago.
People care about UCD aswell though
Is a UCD fan who goes to every game any less of a fan than a Cobh fan who goes to every game just because Cobh have more fans??*
*Having briefly looked at that bad joke in the Carlisle Grounds tonight, I'm not sure anyone cares about anything anymore!
UCD v Limerick is going to be an awful love-in next year. LTID and SLK won't know which blues to support.
The shifty looking ones.
Will be refreshing to watch an actual game of football in the First Division anyway.
No, but the point was this; I've been at games in UCD where they've had way more of their own than tonight, but this is the first time I've been there where as much hung on the result for them* - whereas I'm sure the other 3 relegation battlers would muster all of their support for the last ditch.
* if they'd won tonight and Cobh and Harps had lost, they would still have been in with a chance

Still genuinely struggling to see any sort of point??
Assuming UCD have a support base, however small, of slightly more than the 50-100 that were there tonight, I would hope that for any club in their situation, everyone who counted themselves as any kind of fan would show up for what was certainly their last chance of staying up. They didn't. Which suggests that much of their already slender support is pretty casual. And while I accept that a sincere UCD fan is as sincere as any similarly sincere fan of any other club, a club needs a certain critical mass for the singular enthusiasms of a few nutters to become a fan base; and, perhaps more importantly, there needs to be a geographical connection with an area that can be marshalled as a reserve army in times of trial. Put it this way; if Harps or Cobh survive, everyone in Ballybofey or Cobh will know it, and most will rejoice, even if they never go to games (true to a lesser extent in Galway) ..... a situation that does not translate to the rest of Belfield, never mind Dublin 4.
