On the predictions thread for our game tonight we have 78 posters with 7 predicting a win for us. Of those 7, 4 are from our own supporters.
On the attendances thread we are being slaughtered before a ball is kicked for inflating the numbers.
And on the relegation thread the usual suspects are hoping we’ll be relegated while many of those who like to think they’re objective are confident we’ll go.
The Irish Independent predicts we’ll finish exactly where we did at the end of last season.
And let’s give an honourable mention to our own loyalposters who see no contradiction between sporting a Galway avatar and cutting the club off at the knees at almost every available opportunity.
Conclusion?
It appears we might be up against it.
So Best of Luck tonight lads. Hope you get off to a great start and that the fantastic work done by the officers and hard working volunteers of the club is matched by the effort and the Good Luck required to make it a successful season. Whatever that means.
Less Whining
Less Moaning
What are YOU doing to make it better?
That bitching about over inflating our attendance really bugs me. Its quite funny that the ppl doing it are ppl who were not next nor near the ground (so I fail to see what qualifies them to comment on the subject). However I am fast learning to ignore the ignorance of these begrudgers. This year its all electroic so how more official can you get!

a real air of expectation this morning. There is no feeling like this mornings feeling and the optimism that hit me when i stuck a leg out of the bed this morning. Roll on 7.45
Always the same for me at the start of every season thinking this just could be our year .......Originally Posted by geezer
Quoted in the Tribune today as 420 season tickets sold as of this week although they are expecting a last minute rush for more.
O'Flynn out so Leech and Glynn expected to start up front.
Id say there will be a few last minute buyers... like myself
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
Im in the same boat as Gilberto!
The future's bright......maroon and white
Looking forward to it now..should be a cracking atmosphere.

Cant wait now if only the wind and rain would stop its brutal.

Nice & sunny here.
I was going to go. One of the reasons I didn't was that I couldn't get any information from your club as to where Bohs fans would be put.
As I am staying down in Galway this weekend I Will be at this match tonight with a couple of Galway United supporting friends!!! Hope its a good match!! although they reckon it will be a tough match for United!!
Not so happy seen as season ticket holders had to walk to the far end of the car park for access. is that the idea of improving the situation from last year instead of walking three sides of the pitch now we walk the car park and two sides??? I bought a premium ticket that gets me a free cuppa at half time..... i'd prefer to be able to get into the ground without the trek!
Rant over. Very much like last years start, but a good performance nontheless especially facing a team assembled by such wealth.

Seperate entrance. Seperate toilets. Seperate hot food stand. Segregated seating. Same as last season.
What were you afraid of?
Was that the first occassion that a Galway United team didn't have a Galway native starting a game? All 11 players who started in the game v Bohs were non locals.
John Russel flew the local flag when he came on in the 2nd half.
Well lads a disappointing start to the season considering Bohs were not that good really but still came away with the 3 points. United didn't get going at all in the first 30 minutes and the players didn't wake up until they went a goal down. They were sleepwalking up to then.
United were on top for the remainder of the game but couldn't get that goal. Glynn going closest when he was through on the keeper but sent his shot inches wide of the post.
Reggie at fault for the goal. First rule of defending is never get caught the wrong side of your man and he made a complete hames of dealing with a hopeful Bohs punt up the field. Misjudged the flight of the ball and let Fenn in behind him. Reggie had a shocker actually.
A pain not to take anything from the game but at least they put in an effort in the 2nd half. Signs that it will be another struggle this season though. I'm still raging that they started the game so poorly. First game of the season and at home and they didn't seem up for it.
Its frustrating that we dont get out of the blocks quickly. We need to go out not fearing the opposition. As Paddyfield mentioned we had no local influence there tonight as such and I reckon Keano is the man needed to give us a bit of bite in these games.

We weren't overwhelmed, thought bohs looked a good team, I'm just a bit disappointed about the brand of football we played. Very little to lift the crowd. I though, this year, Hoof-ball was going to be a thing of the past but obviously not! Hoofing the ball up to all night Glynn p**sed me off. Hopefully this will improve soon.

The difference between the two teams was too amazing saves by the Bohs keeper the second one was as good as ive seen. Reggi had a very poor game and the goal capped it.
We looked the best team after we went behind but just couldnt take our chances. We will play worse and win this season. After the fortnight i have had you tend to focus on the positives and just realise how lucky we are to be alive .
Low point for me was the bright spark who abused Tony at half time when he was coming off some people never change and everyone around the area couldnt believe how stupid he was.
