FC United game off

**Patrick Dunne** · 11/02/2006, 9:21 AM

Galway Uniteds friendly against FC United scheduled to go ahead at at Wycombe Wanderers training ground at 1.00pm on Sunday 12th February, has been called off at the request of the Manchester based side, who are apparently unable to field a team.

Galway United are presently trying to source alternative opposition.

That seems very short notice by FCUM.Unfair on the GUFC officials,players and supporters who travelled.

**sligoman** · 11/02/2006, 3:48 PM

That's ridiculously short notice to give. Anyone who was travelling would have paid for flights at this stage. Very unprofessional by FCUM.

GUFC will now be playing a Wycombe Wanderers XI at the same time and same venue. Twelve supporters had travelled on Friday, more today.

GUFc were in contact with FCUoM on Thursday and there was no indication of
any problems from their side.

They're probably a better team anyway so it's worked out better for Galway.

**Conor H** · 11/02/2006, 11:37 PM

Ya that's what we were saying today.Despite the amatuer behavior of FCUM we have probably a better fixture against Wycome.

**Conor H** · 12/02/2006, 2:54 PM

Jill just told me we won 2-1.

Yep,
Wycombe took the lead with an early penalty. United equalised from penalty spot through Alan Murphy. Frawley scored a header from a corner to give us a half time lead. No second half goals.

Typical Galway weather. Photos will be up in a little while.

....Did you meet up with the GUFC fans who went over there?

Yep ... Thinking smart, I headed for the Irish pub, where I found them arriving for a pre-match breakfast and pint

The Wycombe team was mainly reserves and youths (their youths team had no game this weekend). I was chatting to some of their youth team's players parents while watching the game - one of their second half subs was only 15. Apparently Wycombe did a ring around their players last night to put a team together. Fair play to them.

They have a nice set up there for a League Two club mind.

Lally will probably field a weak team to give ye a chance, plus to rest the lads that were playing in England.

In our second game yesterday, we started 3 trialists and 8 youths. We won 4-0.

It will be interesting to hear the excuses tomorrow night. Terry obviously wants to get his in early.

I think it will be EASY! for who I havent yet said!

**Clifford** · 13/02/2006, 12:58 PM

Wher's all the FCUM Irish supporters club guru's to explain their clubs shocking behaviour?

It's not taken them long to morph into a southern-based outfit like the other lot, eh?!!

The Kildare and District League and two pub teams, as well as Limerick FC.
You really know how to test yourselves down in Cork. All the big clubs have had friendlies overseas
