Home games last year were usually at 12:00 on Sundays either in Belfield Park or on the Foster's Avenue pitch.

Not true. The U-21 league employs a playoff system. Look at the US sports and see how often the No.1 team wins the playoffs. We should finish top two in our conference but it's madness to talk of what is and isn't acceptable at underage. The primary goal of the U-21 setup is to produce player capable of progressing on and to give them experience.
Timmy, Kinger and Fran Moran.
Aertel p 235 is actually fairly good for keeping tabs on 21 games - just check it on the Thursday.
I know anything can happen on the night but a poor performance shouldn't be excused just because it's a one-off.
And a poor performance isn't the same thing as a loss. Don't make me quote Star Wars at you.
Can we FORCE you?
It's on Saturday at 2:00 according to Aertel (yes I know!). It says Belfield Park but I don't know if that's right. It'll be either Belfield Park or the Foster's Avenue pitch anyway so it wouldn't take much effort to check both.

Aertel says we beat Athlone 2-0 yesterday. Angus did text me telling me we were 2-0 up and Athlone were down to 10 men. Bray drew 2-2 with Portlaoise yesterday. Pat's v Ballinalsoe and Kildare v Longford were postponed.
Yes, 2 - 0 and a decent standard of game.
It was effectively over as a contest when Athlone went down to 10 men. Our firsty goal was from the 7, Tony Doyle and the second was directly from a free kick from the 8.
We should have had a hatful and were caught offside 10 - 12 times in the second half. Notable performances from Evan McMillen and Fitzgerald when he came on but the stand out performance for me was from the 2 the right full back, Declan O'Donnell.
Top drawer - strong in ther air, flawless on the ground, excellent positioning (except for getting caught once in the second half).
This is the first game I have seen but the pattern is similiair to the seniors - solid defence, lots of effort but a disconnect between solid midfield play and actually creating chances.

Greg Bolger got the second.

Schumi any chance of separating the league stuff (from post 13) into a new thread? It's a bit annoying always having to search the thread for the fixtures...
Lost 2-1 to Pats today, Bolger with the goal.
We've got Athlone away in the Enda McGill according to this thread: http://foot.ie/showthread.php?p=730834#post730834
Decent performance last night. 3 - 1 against Kildare. I only saw the last 20 minutes of the first half and the first 20 of the second and saw our goals.
Kildare have a few nice players and certainly deserved a goal - not sure if they deserved a point - I think our boys were probably too strong. The 6, the 7 and the 8 for KIldare looked lively and the big lad up front looked decent.
Best for us in the period I saw were Timmy, Kinger, Declan O'Donnell, Killian, McWalter.
Sully scored the first - a volley from the edge of the 6 yard box after good work down the left by Podge, having been released by a super move involving Timmy and Killian. The second was a bullet header from Kinger after a super corner. The third, I think, came as a deflection off Timmy.
McWalter was taken off shortly after half time and was replaced by Fitzy. Not sure if this has relevance for Friday.
The word last night was that McFaul has a hamstring and not a hip injury - don't know reliability of source.

Was the Kildare game a league match?
I assume so. We don't have them in the cup.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Bray beat Athlone 4-1. Anyone get the results last weekend so I can update the table?
Here?
