Horsens 2 Galway Utd 0

**Bono_Keane** · 23/02/2007, 9:21 PM

Hi guys;
As you know, Galway United has lost 2-0 agaisnt Danish team Horsens...I have been on the field and taking some photos..If you want photos just ask me, ok? here I have some...
The game has been a typical training game, between 2 sides with a lot of substitutions during the game...United played well in the first half, but they were down with an early goal in the second half. The Danish scored a third goal but was not conceded because it was outside.
In my opinion the best United player has been Regi Nootmieer...very good defender.

who was in goals????

**Bono_Keane** · 23/02/2007, 9:33 PM

New keeper Brinias played the 90 minutes, Gary Rogers didn�t play...I know Brinias wasn�t lucky against Mons but today he has been decent...he wasn�t guilty in the goals though the truth is he wasn�t to have too much saves....

Was that the first time you saw GUFC play?
Were you the only GUFC supporter there?
Were there any Horsens fans there?

Was there any crowd trouble after the game?

Was that the first time you saw GUFC play? Yes, it has been my first United live game ever...I watch on TV the 0-5 Athlone game and the lost against Longford in the FAI Cup semifinal some years ago...

Were you the only GUFC supporter there? Yes, the rest of the supporters were in M�laga...they told me that C�diz was too far...3 hours by bus.

Were there any Horsens fans there? No, any Danish fan there...just sub players and people relationship with the club...

That must be an honour for you. Congrats!

Yes, it is !! Yesterday I was with the fans in M�laga, we met and chat a while...and today I have been in C�diz in the training camp...I live just between C�diz and M�laga

Hopefully i will go to see the team next Sunday again

enjoy the match Bono and thanks for the reports, much appreciated. Great to hear about Nootmieer, everybody seems to be in agreement about his ability.

Much appreciated bono, please paste any photos you can. I'm amazed a three-hour journey was deemed too long to see United play by the lads!

If the Galway team were based in C�diz then why did Galway fans locate themselves in a city 3 hours away?

**gilberto_eire** · 24/02/2007, 6:58 PM

rumour has it the management moved them when word hit they we'r going!

I met with the fans in M�laga and they told me they though the team was going to be in that area....They were thinking to travel to see the friendly matches but the bus is not a good option because once you have arrived to C�diz, you must come back 20 kms because the bus doesn�t stop in the training camp area

**GUISAUltra** · 25/02/2007, 9:07 AM

The Bus Took Over 4 Hours And The Train Took 5 Hrs 40 Mins Each Way. An Awful Lot Of Hassle When We Didnt Know Where We Were Going And When The Game Was On

**JW.** · 25/02/2007, 12:10 PM

Unlucky that it was so much hassle lads. It seems a fairly remote location.

I hope the defeat by Horsens wont leave the Galway United team saddled with that losing feeling before the start of the new season , They should remember the season is long with many obstacles and I am sure they will be amongst the leading pack come the final furlong.

Just checked our two opponents. Horsens finished 10th in last season's league while Silkeborg finished 8th. Both clubs are close enough to each other geographically also with populations of 50k approx. (The CSO lists the population of Galway City as 65k and Limerick City as 54k).

The Danish league is dominated by Brondby and FC Copenhagen, so it is difficult to assess the quality of these two clubs. However, our track record in competitive matches against Danish opposition (Lyngby, Sportsground 1985 and Odense, Ballindereen 1991) suggests we could take another beating today. Then again our luck must turn against them at some point.......

Friendlies are not about winning; rather, they are useful for advancing match fitness to a degree, trying out systems and helping to get players familiar with each other's patterns of play.

**Bono_Keane** · 26/02/2007, 6:41 PM

Yesterday I took some pics in the team�s training camp...I was talking with Tony the day before about the possibility to have a trial for a friend and he said: "ok"....Despite he didn�t do bad, sadly he wasn�t selected because the team comes back home tomorrow....
Here I have some pics which i took in the training session....
