Less 24 hours to go

[Counting Crow]

OK.
Less than 24 hours to go. I don't know about the rest of you but in 15 years following City I haven't looked forward to a game as muchas I have this one.

Maybe it's the result of the night we had against Rovers a few weeks ago or something.

One thing I feel, is that I believe tomorrow night's game could be won ( certainly influenced ) by us on the terraces. A draw is as useful to us as an ashtray on a motorbike. So we need to finish it off by 10.30 pm.

In the game against the Knackers from Milltown I turned to a mate when we were 2-0 down ( it was his first game .... he's from Mayo .... God love him ) and I said "if we score 1 we'll win go on to win the game"... the atmosphere was that good. You could almost reach out and touch it.

So, more of the same tomorrow night. Don't be afraid to mortify yourself every now and again. Let's create our own unique welcome for our guests from the north. Remember Geoghan's comments last week....... we ceratinly got to him in the first game of the season.

Finish it tomorrow night City, please...... give me a wekend in Duuuubleeen ........ 'cause I hate Jazzzzzzzz.
