Current squad Statistics

What part of "we always start slowly" is causing confusion?

Surely you, of all people, should be aware of that?

Also, those 8 games played so far include a disproportionate number of games against last year's top 4. A fairer comparison would be after 11 games.

Rather that than last year, when we were playing badly and getting nothing for it. It'll click.

In 1990 when we were relegated in the end of season table we finished last
P 33 W 6 D 5 L 21 and as there were only 2 points for a win we had 17 points!

What's the point there?

Most of our strikers couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo and you wonder why I am gloomy about our prospects ?

It's dangerously close to 4 times our current record !
The only saving grace is that there are three teams yet to record a victory in the League so far!

Funny that - the league table shows that only four teams have scored more than us in the league this season, and two of our forwards - Paul Byrne and Conor Sammon - are joint fifth-top scorers in the league. Not to mention the two goals they shared in the League Cup as well.

You obviously have failed to notice they only scored in ONE League game!

**pineapple stu** · 30/04/2006, 6:38 PM

You have obviously failed still to notice that we are the fifth-top scorers in the league.

Our problems last year were because our midfield and defence weren't contributing goals - already we have Doyler, Cawley and Shortall off the mark as well.

We still have less than a point a game which is how we finished last year..
How exactly have we improved? Granted we are conceding fractionally fewer goals and possibly scoring fractionally more goals. But the outcome is the same pathetic points tally!

Let's re-visit this thread after we've played all teams once, not after we've played a disproportionate number of last season's top four.

Oh God, why couldn't there be an ignore thread button?

**Aberdonian Stu** · 02/05/2006, 3:01 PM

Yeah seriously. It's really annoying when the UCD section appears as having new posts in it when it's only this bloody thread.

**CollegeTillIDie** · 02/05/2006, 6:39 PM

Well you're as guilty of adding to the thread as anyone else

**John83** · 02/05/2006, 7:25 PM

This post is the 154th in this thread. You've posted 105 of them Declan. We bloody well aren't.

Just use the New Posts option at the top instead.

Quality brace from Podge tonight to lift us into the top half...still depressed? I think this is going to be a good season!

Oh, the irony of decrying the stats thread by posting a stat in it!!!

I actually think this is an interesting thread. If only we could get a LSC and First Division Shield record...?

Only noticed this now - didn't we compete in the 1922 FAI Cup as well? First Round defeat to Shamrock Rovers, I think?

Yes but we were both Non-League so it was so far in the Preliminaries as not to be consistent with the latter stages which the first qualification in the 1930's was when we drew a League side. By the way Rovers beat us 6-2 according to The Hoops by Robert Goggins and Paul Doolan ( no not that one!)
