    Drogheda win in friendly...

    They weren't playing this weekend, so they had a friendly against Newry at home. They scraped through 3-2. They've also had seven of their last eight games at home (including that friendly) and hopefully have gotten out of the knack of playing away games!

    Where you at the game? How many first teamers were on? what was he attendence like? or could you be commenting on a performance which you didn't see for yourself ?

    Typical UCD - bitter till the last - leave the Doolin experience behind you - let it go man, move on. Sure aren't you playing much better under Mahon and will soon be back in the Premier.

    Friday will see who is the better side, be it Drogs or Students I don't know - we'll just have to wait and see.

    What on earth has the attendance got to do with anything? How long has this UCD stereotype of which you speak been around? First I've heard of it. We've been labelled enough of things, but bitter isn't one of them.

    Just trying to build up some sense of expectation going into the game - and sure why not? Using a bit of logic, I expect you played near enough to a full team as you had no fixture that weekend. I would expect that the game was taken reasonably seriously. It wouldn't make otherwise. 3-2 against a lower Northern Irish side only just after starting their season doesn't sound a particularly good result - indicates to me that you're more vulnerable than your league position makes out. So there's my logic. Take it or leave it. Maybe you'd like to fill us in if it annoys you so much?

    Hope Pete Mahon uses the same logic as you in assessing the opposition - if we so then we are sorted for tonight.
