I believe there should be a good crowd down from the Town for tonights game. Pascal is running a bus from town and they are staying overnight in Hanley Oaks Hotel out in Rahoon......

We won! I'm shocked. Absolutely sickened I've missed this.

**gufc2000** · 14/08/2009, 9:33 PM

Congrats lads, ye took ye're chance, we didn't take the 15 efforts or so on goal that we had. We wouldn't score if we were still there now

**Terry-Lander** · 14/08/2009, 9:36 PM

Well done.

We need to send the entire squad to a brothel to see if they could even score there, but it's doubtful.

**Mr Maroon** · 14/08/2009, 9:44 PM

Well done, lads.

We were a disgrace.

**Pauro 76** · 15/08/2009, 12:02 AM

Well done Town, absolutely delighted!

I am just back from Galway.. What a result what a night! I havent being this emotional in two long years.. In the first half after Neal McKenna was unfortunate to be sent off it was all Galway including their crowd! but once the second half started we got into it more and more.. Adrian Murphy was very unlucky with a spectaculor effort that just went over the crossbar leavin barry ryan stranded!

Brian McCarthy and Danny O'Leary kept us in the game!! Gradually town were winning the vocal battle on the terraces!Then the unbelievable happened Tom King broke clear on the right Galway stopped expecting a freekick king crossed and there was ronniebs fav player Lynchy who hit a super effort past Barry Fan.

Cue mayhem on the terraces.. I never ran so fast towards the touchline to celebrate with salmon coloured !Two years of hell finally came out and I was cleansed!! it took five minutes to find out who scored!

But the game wasnt over. Galway hit the post from a corner. Danny made a miraculous save to tip a strong Galway header over the bar!!The ref added on three minutes and then the whistle finally blew!

The celebrations were something else ! all the players and mgt came over.. Macca was giving high fives to everyone! The last time I felt good after a town victory was when we beat Shamrock Rovers one nil in Tolka with Moons late winner"

Seven long years for a wait in Terryland was finally over! Many thanks to the galway utd crew who hosted us in fibber mcgees before the match and in the goalpost afterwards!

It was brill catchin up with Galway girl ,Guisa ,ronan coleman. Let the celebrations begin and roll on the next round!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

COME ON DA TOWN!!!

Had to go, it was an awful tackle. High and reckless. He could have seriously injured Russell. It was straight out from where I was sittting, and your man had only eyes on Russell....

Cooke definitely deserved the red. It was a stupid tackle to even go in to. It was obvious that it was always going to result in him getting sent off. He'll be banned for three games now - I think we'll be better off without him.

Definitely deserved to go, pure stupidity from Cooke. It was reckless aswell. Both red cards that were dished out were deserved
