a few years ago,i remember ollie and herrick got goals that day,i think it was the year we lost the playoff final,that was 1 of the best away performances ive ever seen,we should have won by more,thats my best memory of st.smells.also a cup match we played there in which there was about 1000 from galway there,michael donnellan played(and should have f*ckin scored),we won the reply on penos if i remember correctly.

We owe this shower a hammering!

We were even worse that that against Kildare. Definite end of season stuff but a big home crowd might lift the players one last time this season and I am sure Eric and Rossi will be up for it

Forde and Cabsie won't be playing
Silke has retired from football
As for GA it depends on what head he has on.

Kevin Williamson will fly into a few tackles too I'd say

**GUISAUltra** · 25/10/2006, 10:14 AM

out of all the games that i was at in st. mels i've never ever seen galway win there. i saw a few draws but mostly we just completely buckled there. lets hope this new venue can bring about a change of mentality and fortune and send us back west with the three points.
Roll on the Bounty!!!

Every one do their best to urge as many people as possible to travel t Athlone Saturday.We've lost a fair few with the boxing match on in pearse so lets try and get as many sunshiners as we can find to go.Make it sound attractive.Tell them they can watch live football and then be back in time for a night out if needs be.

connor h why didnt ye pick up on the fact that the fat steward was from sligo. bet everyone wondered what the hell i was going on about. cannae believe u are too polite to tell me i am getting a wee bit confused in my middle ago. maybe thats why i cant understand the whole play-off ****e.
i actually can but i have just been trying to explain it to others who have started to take an interest in united. any wonder why FAI are slated by rugby heeds and the other crowd? anyway... by the lights of the silvery moon were the talk o the toon , were the boys in maroon

i was going to drive - but now im thinking of getting this bus of yeres - visiting the bounty and the dog and duck sound like too much of an attraction! - actually they sound like the locals in some lame soap set in the north of england - ha ha
