Oh, no another loss to Crackpot Keely, to borrow Mr. Keegan's phrase I would just love it, love it to have beaten Dub City.
We are now third from bottom of the league. What happened our defence? We have now got the worst defensive record in the league together with Limerick. We just simply have to beat Dundalk next Friday night, other wise we will end up like Finn Harps and spend 10 seasons in this division

**Galwayexile** · 10/04/2005, 5:56 PM

this seems to happen every season with galway United.why dont they get things right for once.This league is so open this season its scandelous and what do we see yet again Galway United are doing s**t. I for one would love it if we had a team that every galway person could be proud off.What promised alot pre season has turned into a disaster.Hopefully i will be proved wrong but i doubt it as players like david o dowd just dont cut it in this divison.
Sorry for the rant, im just a frustrated Galway Fan based in dublin and sick of all the exposure the teams here are getting.

in fairness, your squad look very young. Dublin City have played fairly bad so far & the team wasn't gelling. Today the looked good. I wouldn't be too hopeful of getting a result against Dundalk, they looked pretty strong to me

what was the attendance of the match in richer?

**Derek** · 10/04/2005, 10:31 PM

Nothing offical but I would say about 200/250ish.

probably about that, seemed to be very few from Galway around, about 30/40, with maybe 200 Dublin City fans.

Have to complement the Galway side though, at no stage did they stop trying to play football, in this division that's really rare, so fair play, we we're stronger on the day, but thats the first game we looked like we could possibly win this division.

Galway have the right idea and only for a little bit more luck could have seen themselves back in the game when they got one.

Best of luck for the season ahead, hope that you manage to make a push, and hopefully secure second place.

How in the name of god can you blame Dave O'Dowd, he didnt even start yesterday. In my opinion he's one of the hardest working players on the team

**gufct** · 11/04/2005, 8:45 AM

at most there was 120 there and at least a third were from galway what Dublin City are in existence for I dont know.

**dahamsta** · 11/04/2005, 9:58 AM

GalwaysFrancis, use proper thread titles please.

**Galwayexile** · 11/04/2005, 1:26 PM

Galwaygirl i know he wasnt. i meant in general, at the end of the day hes a striker and his goal ratio is what strikers are based on.Only maybe barry moran has a decent rate. They should cop themselves on a bit or else the season will be over before its even started.Maybe the juniors from salthill devon would do a better job.

Which still leaves him as the second best striker we have at the moment

, I think he scored 6 in the league last season.

So we can bring you all the way to the big smoke and show you a thing or two about football.

**gufct** · 11/04/2005, 2:04 PM

they were almost as bad as we were and only for our Kindness in Gift Wrapping all 4 goals they hardly looked top of the table material. I see you didnt disagree over the crowd Pathetic!

Stupid thing to say gufct. Considering they did beat ye 4-1, it's not saying much about yer team so

**gufct** · 11/04/2005, 3:11 PM

is mainly there to provide Ronan Seery with a job full stop.They bring nothing to the league and the way they are messing around teams over their fixtures is crazy.

They still managed to beat ye though, just accept it. If they are really bad, it's not saying much for Galway then is it?

**Patrick Dunne** · 11/04/2005, 3:18 PM

.. apparently is when they are going to pay their games from now on. They will play anytime, anywhere. While they are a well organised club on and off the pitch, they bring very little to the league.

**Galwayexile** · 11/04/2005, 5:20 PM

Thats a stupid statement to make, Dublin city are a good team and have a good manager in keeley.We wont get anywhere if we slag the other teams off.Hopefully Galway utd will buck up and improve their form.

**Conor H** · 11/04/2005, 6:06 PM

Its very annoying too see the start weve made this year and unfortunately it doesnt look like improoving but its a long season.However one thing that has really annoyed me is the lack of effort put in by 90% of the team.I dont believe that quality is our only fault,its pride in the jersey too!we also have a poor leader on the pitch with nigel keady and lack of belief to carry on the minute we concede.Things have to change and with 2 home games coming up 6 out of 6 points is a must.
Also it would be appreciated if the players would bother to acknowledge us after the game,especially when we travel 3 hours to watch our side loose 4-1
