Quoteso true. we cant do it easy and we dont have the games - a win any way possible - sods law that UCD and cobh hit form at the same time as GUFC!
Obviously a must win game.With our record against them this season and not having played last night i feel we can win this one with some to spare.I know we never win without much hassle though so im gonna go with 2-1 win for us.
We should have been dead and buried long ago but we just keep doing enough to stay in touch.We are rapidly running out of games though so its wins now and nothing else.
Such a shame the Connacht game clashes with this though.It will affect both attendances by a few hundred id say.
so true. we cant do it easy and we dont have the games - a win any way possible - sods law that UCD and cobh hit form at the same time as GUFC!
more water!
True just as we hit some form so does everyone else at the bottom.Originally Posted by corbyeire
3 points by any means vital now on Friday.
All I can see is a win and I am going with 3-1
I was glad the game was called off during the week as i felt we needed to get
on the winning trail.We need to be up for it as Bray have a point to prove after we knocked them out of 2 cups. Jonny Keane will be back in for Murphs and Jesper will stay in and score.
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
My head says it'll be a draw. Our lads should be right up for it after ye ruined our season, your lads will be fighting tooth and nail for the points.
I hope I'm wrong though (obviously I'm hoping we win, just in case ye thought I was rooting for Galway for some reason).
Dont forget tickets for FAI cup semi on sunday week will be on sale tomorrow night at the bray game
A great result for United tonight - there were some outstanding contributions on the field tonight from virtually every player.
In particular, O'Shea and Russell stood out, and Jonathan Keane in the first 45. Conneelly and J Keane have really come on since I saw them play at the end of last season.
We could have had 6 or 7 tonight - the post, a clearance off the line, some dodgy offside decisions and a few glaring misses.
Just before the second goal it was looking like we might be biting our nails, but then the goals started flowing. I was delighted especially to see Vinny score a brace.
I picked a great game for my first game of the season - made the every cent of the €250 spent travelling worth it! shame there is no flight back to London after the game on Monday night or I'd have gone along to that too!
Really enjoyed the game tonite. Thought we were in control through out. In fairness bray where shocking bad!!!
Everyone played well but I think o shea takes a bit too much out of it at times.
Was Kenna missing tonite?? Didnt see him at all?
What the hell was up with the last floodlight on corrib stand?? Will look bad on TV
C'MON UNITED

Good Lord but Bray were shocking. Credit to Jeff, he has the team palying some cracking football, even if some of the lads did overplay it a bit tonight. No idea why J Keane was taken off as early as he was, but thank God Vinny started instead of JJ. Thought he blew his chance to prove Jeff right with that miss in first half, but his second was worth the admission price alone, especially embarrassing Mr Gough.
Game on in a big way, if we take a point from pats we'll do it.
Well done to the lads, was also impressed with JK and Seamus in particular, Fitzy mopped up well, apart from the dodgy hairdo Russler looked impressive - has he gone from Russler to Rooster with that dash of red!

Just in the door after a few after match beverages.HOW BAD ARE BRAY INDEED??Granted they have nothing much to play for but they were so poor it was unreal.We were good though and did play some great stuff again.Once again my O'Shea to score and us to win bet came in.I just wondered why didnt he take off Foley and maybe O'Shea for the last few mins with Monday night in mind.I know O'Shea was on a hatrick but he could have gotten injured as some Bray players were tackling poorly.
WE ARE STAYING UP,SAY WE ARE STAYING UP
Weird how it goes. We seem to have the measure of Bray and Harps this season but we've been awful against Cobh.
JK was at the game. Dunno how you missed him. He ran out to Jayo to celebrate the 2nd goal.times.

Nobody knows us, we don't care
Bray were very poor, but i suppose they had nothing to play for. If we get a draw against pats, and there is a draw tonight between Cobh and UCD we are really in with a good chance. It is the best football i have seem being play at terryland for a long time, although the lads do overdo it a bit at times (still great to watch). Could the 2-2 draw with Harps come back to haunt us and that sickening home defeat to UCD? All the lads did well, but was really impressed with Russell and Seamus, thought J keane was a bit slack at times in the first half. Said this before but the manager has done a tremendous job once he got settled in. We could still end the season on a high. ps the fans have really taken to this team and it was nice that Robson was acknowledge by some when he was going off.
That's Fozzie.
Jeff was there though. You can see him at 3:33 on the highlights.
Lads,is there any statto's amoung ye who can tell me when we last won a top flight game by 4 goals??I cant for the life of me remember the last time we did it.I know we beat Monaghan 8-0 that time but wasnt that in the 1ST divison??Was trying to remember it last night after the game but none of us could.
The over doing it bit is what teams who play like that tend to do.Now im not comparing us to Arsenal's style but we are not a million miles from it and they over do it alot aswell.
AND AGAIN WE PLAYED to the same end in the first half and again in the second half for the 5th game in a row
Bray need 2 points from their last three games to be absolutely safe. With ourselves and Cobh in a good run of form at the moment, I don't think they can be entirely complacent.
Bray have to play Cobh, Drogheda and Sligo. I'd fancy Cobh for three points there next week.
Worst case scenario for Bray would be for Cobh and ourselves to win our last four matches. Bray have a worse goal difference then ourselves too (and if Cobh beat them next week Cobh would also be better off on goal difference). Bray can be very thankful they won last week against Derry.
That Monaghan game was in the Premier Division in October 2001 (2001/02 season). Last night was our biggest Premier Division victory margin since.
surely this is illegal exiled and will result in an immediate points deductionLads,is there any statto's amoung ye who can tell me when we last won a top flight game by 4 goals??I cant for the life of me remember the last time we did it.I know we beat Monaghan 8-0 that time but wasnt that in the 1ST divison??Was trying to remember it last night after the game but none of us could.

i was not at you match last night but arsenal are not one of the teams that sprang to mind after the sligo performance- a bit more wimbledon. not that ye didnt deserve a point by the way
