Pats v Shams off due to waterlogged pitch

**sulywaterfordfc** · 08/05/2015, 6:22 PM

We're missing nine away to Harps.

I think we'll set up to draw but Harps will score first. Then they'll sit back we'll throw everything at them an Harps will kill the game by scoring a second via a counter attack.

We are missing 9 for trip to Derry as well - a Harps/Derry double could be the bet of the weekend

Galway lead

**WoodquayBoy** · 08/05/2015, 7:24 PM

2-0 now. Sure what do I know

**SkStu** · 08/05/2015, 9:07 PM

Nice win Harpies (after last weeks kick in the flange).

TBWRA.

Sweet jesus...that was a crap game. Waterford didn't deserve to lose. But there was an absolutely world class strike from Mickey Funston for Harps first. No goalkeeper in world football would have saved that one, unbelievable.

Dirty big toe swerver?

Brutal, appalling stuff from ourselves tonight. Again.
Weak in all areas of the field. Galway controlled the game, looked far more threatening.
We're just dreadful to watch at present. It's pathetic.
Says it all when the biggest cheer of the night was when Elding pulled off a save (after Doherty and Patton both went off injured).

Poor crowd again, barely a couple of hundred remained for the final whistle. Boos all round at the end.
Pizza needs to get this sorted asap.

Sounds like tonight might have been the worst night in LOI history.

Sligo are fupping horrible, and we nearly gave them three points due to our horribleness. They are seriously a terrible football side. We won tonight and I was very close to booing the team off they were that bad

Mickey Funstons goal last night

Cracking goal, looked a decent crowd too?

Half the crowd weren't in at that stage

For those not on Facebook

Good to see you're getting good crowds. Lovely strike! Nice build-up to the goal too.

Took a deflection surely?

No deflection, pure swerve. Pity there's no reverse angle, from the stand the goal was absolutely ridiculous.

Don't think so either. Keeper didn't move because he was unsighted. Not that he would have saved it.

That sums it up really.

Derry were terrible. They nearly scored after 30 seconds from a corner but created very little for the rest of the match. If anyone deserved another goal it was us - we were very good despite missing a heap of players.

At the back they looked pretty slow, midfield there wasn't much control and up front Morrison and Elding were useless. Elding going in goal was one of the highlights of all my years following League of Ireland (over 25 of them!) - I hope the Soccer Republic do it justice!

Derry's game against Sligo in 2 weeks is absolute massive in terms of what way both clubs' seasons will go - I think the losing manager could well be gone after.

Finally, obviously best wishes to Mark Farren. Some things are more important than football and all Galway United fans wish him the best.

**nigel-harps1954** · 09/05/2015, 5:28 PM

On a side note, there was over €2,000 raised for Mark Farren fund in a bucket collection in Finn Park last night. Considering the crowd was around 800, that's an excellent amount raised.
