UCD have it well covered... Murder on two fronts...

Not a GAA fan but UCD won the Dublin Championship and (I think) lost in the Leinster quarters. The whole playing for 2 clubs is stupid anyway. Why should players from outside Dublin get two chances in the championship?

UCD brought something to the league, they were the ONLY side who were able to outplay Cork City at Turners Cross this season. I dont think we even had a real chance on goal all game.

UCD show how defending is ment to be done, at the risk of sounding too much like Rico, defending is an art which UCD have mastered, for that alone ye deserve to be in the premier, even if ye are fcukheads of the highest order for taking away our record!

I wouldn't say UCD outplayed City. They scored from their only chance.

However City were terrible for all the possession they had.

In general I've nothing against UCD. They introduce players to proper facilities and decent training.

If they manage to get enough points on the pitch to stay up good luck to them.

Once UCD were a goal up it was always going to be pressure piled on. Cork never looked like scoring i thought. They had the ball and just hoofed it in every time, and that's exactly what UCD want, with Delaney, McAuley and Ryan well capable of dealing with that kind of ball.

When rovers went 2-0 up on ye what did you do? Did you lamp balls in over the top like that? If ye've played like that all season i'm not a bit surprised that you've such a bad away record and i think ye may have been a little jammy at home...

Cork looked like they didn't really care. There was very little urgency in their play (unless hoofing more counts!). They weren't a patch on what they did the last time in we played them there at the start of the season.

Personally I like UCD. They're competing well every year and have earned their place in the top flight. They have some good players, a good coach and are well run. More power to them!
