many of ye coming down for this one lads? don't start going on about what happened last time, its done with now and hopefully this should be a good game, ye seem a bit hot and cold at the minute, many injuries or anything?

**DmanDmythDledge** · 13/09/2007, 8:56 PM

Hopefully I'll be able to get to this one. Like the Showgrounds, Jinks Avenue stand a good place to watch the game from. McNally went off injured against Cork so hopefully it isn't a reccurance of his lat injury as he is our most important player, as can be seen by the games he missed and after he went off on Monday. Tony Mc and Doyle should be back but Paul Byrne is still out of action. Sligo are missing Peers, who I've been impressed with this season, so their defence is somwhat weakened. I'd be surprised if either team fails to score so a 1-1 draw is my prediction.

as long as you pay the adult admission fee for the thousands of ants in your ant farm, we dont mind

Going to be in Prague unfortunately.

Lot of injuries on our side - Bermingham, Tony, Crowley, Allie Mac, Paul Byrne. Would take a point now.

**U-C-D** · 14/09/2007, 9:22 PM

possible team with all the injuries considered, in brackets is the team i would pick

GK : Quigley

RB : Mahon
CB : Shorthall
CB : McMillan
LB : Kenna

RM : C.Byrne
CM : McFaul
CM : Finn
LM : McWalter (Fitzgerald)

ST : Hynes
ST : Sammon

Defence is very untested but can't think of what else it could be really?!?

Think McWalter will play as he is the one experienced player in midfield however i would love to see all the young lads giving a run together!!

**DmanDmythDledge** · 14/09/2007, 10:19 PM

Fitzgerald is out, I think.

I'd have King instead of Hynes and move Finn behind the striker.

Won't be able to head down. The usual story in Ireland, no way to return via public transport after the game.

edit to my line-up! timmy will probably start up front with sammo

**Poor Student** · 15/09/2007, 6:51 PM

Seems Ocean FM aren't doing this one.

**Bunny Kelly** · 15/09/2007, 7:42 PM

Any updates on how the first half went, who is on top etc?

I hear it's a poor game with little doing for either team. Sligo winning 1-0 though.

**U-C-D** · 15/09/2007, 7:57 PM

derek doyle is playing left back and mcfaul and finn in centre mid with hynes and sammo upfront!!

doyle left back - bit of suprise, thoughts?

**U-C-D** · 15/09/2007, 7:59 PM

2-0 to sligo, handball by alan mahon and penalty scored by foy

What's wrong with Killian Gallagher? He looked decent before Bermingham came in.

**U-C-D** · 15/09/2007, 8:09 PM

not sure that he even starts for U.21's any more but wether it be gallagher or the current LB for 21's (forget his name, something like seany) or evan mcmillan its dissapointing mahon is not giving the younger lads a chance.
i would like to see these play as in my opinion the season has come to the stage where there is little to play for so why not give them a go!?!

**Poor Student** · 15/09/2007, 8:11 PM

We've still to secure safety. Apart from the Drogheda game our form is woeful. Thankfully the teams below us are doing just as worse but if we continue this form we could sink back into the battle. It's a pity we're in such poor shape for the Derry cup game.
