Those were all the results for "Bray" on the old GU youtube. After that, there was 6 videos of wins against Bray. Your point?

The original Galway Utd. Oh, how we miss them. Everything has changed since the DVD....even their YouTube channel.

Not putting words in Olander's mouth but I'd imagine he is referring to the run of games from 2008 to 2010 when United won seven out of eight meetings with Bray at a time Massey and Shields were both with the club (Massey longer than Shields). There weren't many hammerings score wise - 1-0, 4-0, 3-0, 2-1, 3-1, 2-0, 2-0 - but you can see where he was
coming from.

It's how a side responds to those moments that define it. Dundalk got better, a lot better.

I see Cork at a similar point in their development. There is too much good stuff going on at Turners Cross for their development to stall now.

In 2013 that was a Dundalk team that come from bottom to top in the blink of an eye and were certainly out-mucked at Inchicore in a title defining game, but that was a bonus territory for Dundalk. Cork have had that type of season last year and this season are probably facing the reality of having to replace the 3 or 4 old timers who are just not hacking it this year. With a bit of work in progress, Cork will have every chance in the 2016 season. I'd even put money on it.

They were poor against Rovers and there were hints of that again against us, we just weren't good enough to take advantage. That and Shields lives up to his name and saves them from having to do too much actual work.

Defending is the weakest part of this Dundalk team. They can be indecisive and try to over play the ball. Shamrock Rovers clearly identified this and concentrated on playing clever balls into areas between the full backs and the centre backs. They got two goals from this.

Caulfield, being such a poor tactician, just had his team lob balls up to the two biggest and strongest centre backs in the league.

On Massey, I thought he was excellent for us in 2012, poor in 2013, and is almost back to his best this season. In order to step up to a higher level, LOI players have to have the strength and athleticism to compete. These are attributes that Massey has in abundance over other LOI full backs.

Not to interrupt the cracking banter, but are GalwayUnitedTV using RTE footage for their videos on youtube, or their own camera?

Either way, do RTE not have the rights to that footage?

EDIT: There are a few other clubs putting up highlights on youtube also, now that I think of it, so the same question applies to them.

**Dodge** · 30/04/2015, 10:55 AM

Most clubs that put up coverage film it themselves. The TV contracts allow that (as long a they wait until after Soccer Republic for the weekend games)

Pats have uploaded a couple of videos with Setanta's footage. They've asked permission first though

A volunteer with his own camera films all the matches and edits them together. RTÉ are ok with highlights going up, as long as it's after Soccer Republic. Cork City rip the Soccer Republic highlights and upload that.

Personally, I think any club with the ability to put up highlights should be able to do it when they want. 70 or 80 odd hours after a match is finished is a ridiculous amount of time to wait.

Imagine how much play Bohs would have gt from Kealon Dillon's goal.

It was Tuesday morning before it had a chance to go viral. 4 days after it happened
