August 23, 2004

Kildare County assistant manager John Ryan insists that promotion from the First Division remains the most important thing for the Thoroughbreds, despite their shock FAI Carlsberg Cup victory over big guns Bohemians on Friday night.

The Station Road side overcame the Gypsies on a 1-0 scoreline at Dalymount Park on Friday night, keeping alive their hopes of a first senior trophy in just their third season in existence.

Trying to keep their feet on the ground I suppose and stay focused on the league. Big game against Galway, a must win IMHO.

A must win for both clubs. GUFC have to win this one or the results in the past 3 weeks or so could have been for nothing!

I see a draw 2-2

County's form has been good of late if not a little lucky here and there, but sometimes thats what you need to win games. Sean Francis is a good addition to the club, but I don't think he is up to speed yet, but having said that, I would not be suprised to see him start with maybe Ray Scully making a return also.

2-1 to County I think.

at the moment definitely Playing our best football since we missed out on Promotion 2 years ago.Anyone that writes us off with 12 games to go is very foolish and we should have a big away contingent travelling saturday night to give tha lads loads of vocal support.


Whats the story with your crowds they seem to be way down on last year.

Lot of stuff going on of the field i.e. Directors alienating fans and the sort. The normal sh***e that goes on in football. But with a good run of form and a decent go of it in the cup, we should see the crowds back at Station Rd, plus the fact that the club have made some good decisions lately, which seems to haved eased tensions amongst the faithful. Hope it continues and look forward to having you at Station Rd. Should be a good atmosphere.
