UCD 1:2 SRFC
UCD had the better of the first half and had a few chances to take the lead. Shamrock Rvs had a better spell in the second half, Rusty double substition on 72' wasn't a positive move, Killer off for Creevy and Shane Fitz for the subperb Wilson. The subs left us with Chris Mulhall as most forward player. Although that didn't stop Brian Shortall, playing as left back, move forward and put a screamer of a ball past the post at the death.

As Dwayne Dwilson was playing LSL Senior 1B last year and has been a huge success in a top six team in the Premier Division this year it surely (sourly) means that the 4th tier of LSL is equivalent to top half of the Premier Div.

One record was broken at the UCD Bowl Stadium last night. The most quietest Away FANS for Airtricity League game. Take a bow FANS of Bohs and Bray and Galway and Sporting and Drogheda and Pats.

No you weren't. For the last 20 minutes of the first half, we were well on top. Rovers were the better side in the second half (but hardly all over us) and Twigg took his goal well but I don't think Rovers could feel too hard done by if it had ended 1-1.

In the end Twigg was the difference IMO.

Does anyone have the result of Rockmount v Avondale in the FAI Cup?

Yeah def agree. maybe if UCd had a bit more belief they might have got a result?
Why were the Shams fans so quiet?

Avondale won 2-1

**Dunny** · 15/05/2010, 8:51 PM

Sligo beat Drogs 6-0 also Drogs had a man sent off.

**Ciaran W** · 15/05/2010, 9:07 PM

Great to amond getting a hat trick

hes a brilliant player

**sligo23** · 15/05/2010, 9:12 PM

We are unbelievable. There musta been 30 passes leading up to our second goal. Drawda were all over place, no confidence and no organisation.

**forza rovers** · 15/05/2010, 9:17 PM

Richie Ryan's goal has to be contender for goal of the season.drogs are rubbish.their fans weren't impressed either

Go on Padraig Amond! Have him backed to be top scorer this season @33/1! Let's hope he keeps banging them in

In fairness Murphy put in a very strong performance. He won almost everything against Wilson, a player a lot bigger than him, although one must take into account Wilson is still a very raw player who has just stepped up from 4th tier LSL.

Great win tonight, frustrating season so far so it was nice to get a good result and see some end product to our nice play.
Can't wait to see the replay of our second goal tonight. The ball went around the pitch to nearly every player before being nicely slotted away by Amond.

Ah no just small stakes tbh. Would be a nice winner though!

Think I need Gary Twigg to get a few injuries between now and the end of the season though to have a chance.

Dunno if it's that simple really. We're playing counter-attacking stuff, so our defending (which has been superb most of the season) is arguably hindering our chances going forward. Attack more, we leave more gaps at the back. More attacking doesn't necessarily mean more success; ask Kevin Keegan.

As well as that (and at the risk of sounding like Dave O'Leary), last year was the first year in senior football for many of our players. This year is the first in the Premier for those same players. There's a learning curve. Wilson on the wing was fairly out of his depth I thought; Killer, Dave Mc and Muller haven't been scoring as freely or getting as much space as last season. That's not to say they're suddenly bad players - just that the players are still learning the game, and in particular learning that bit of guile and movement that'll create more chances. We've more points already from the second round of matches than the first, which I think is proof that we're going the right direction. That's all we can really ask at this stage.

Will prove to be one of MON'S biggest mistakes, Podge should have never have been let go and our squad selections so far this season proves it, we had no goalscoring strikers till 3 weeks ago when Twiggy returned, we depend on Twiggy far to much, if he picks up another injury this season our title hopes will be dashed. We have no other natural goalscorers in the squad. Best of luck Podge hope you bang 25 goals in this season and show the arrogant thick O'Neill what he is missing.
