im nearly certain the pa speaker said 1410 i was surprised at it. maybe lates werent counted
I thought around the 2k mark meself. Cobh beat Shams tonight so we are seriously in the doo doo, we have Sligo, Bray, Derry, harps and UCD our next 5 games, need to take 12 points from that. As for Billy, he rightly complained that a Cork player kicked the ball away ater the whistle went and wasn't booked, while a United player - Glynn I tihnk - was booked for similar offence in first half. That's the problem, not only in this league but every league, a lack of consistency by the officials.

I thought its meant to be 2 kids per adult???ya right,it was NOT like that last night,dam annoying.
There is a case for Billy throwing his name into the hat as manager i think,might be too soon.No need to panic yet though.
Absolutely vital period coming up. We win a few of those games and things will look a great deal better. If we don't things will begin to look pretty grim.Originally Posted by WoodquayBoy
We need to start picking up the points especially with Ramblers winning last night. The kids are irritating and I could hear them talking and being delighted about getting in for a fiver, theyre paying their way so I think we will just have to put up with them.

Time to call a spade a spade. The lads have absolutely no leadership.
In fairness to Billy, he's only 3 games in, but his display of petulance showed a leopard doesn't change his spots and we'll get no 50/50s from any referee once they read the fines / suspensions reports for the rest of the season. Billy is a GUFC legend. Nothing will change that - but we needed a leader and he provided the opposite on Friday night. Blaming the referee is a cop out IMO.
It may have been against a second string Longford team but the displays on Tuesday night would have shown that Rouse deserved a start and Alan Keane was not up to it. How he was tried at outside right and outside left is beyond me. I'm delighted for Keane that he has recovered his fitness and recovered from injury and I love to see locals do well, but Tuesday night gave an idication of what was to come on Friday.
Full credit to Billy then for making the changes he did and full credit to Molloy for making maximum use of his time on the field.
Not even 1/3 of the way through the season but we're doomed IMO. Lester throwing the ball away on our throw in because he felt none of the lads up front wanted it shows just how united this squad is.
Much has been made of how the new stand has killed the atmosphere, but I thought the home support was vocal and appreciative of anything the lads tried to put together. Obviously this was very evident when Molloy scored, but all through there was good support and the crowd responded to any obvious efforts from the lads on the pitch.
I'm off to Sligo on Saturday. Got to stick with them now. For better or worse.

What are YOU doing to make it better?
Being a bit unfair on Alan, he was playing out of position. Friday showed we have nothing going forward, and without Derek and Russler, we won't create anything either. Like you I think we're doomed as well, job beginning to look less and less attractive

Doomed?. I agree it will take effort of gigantic proportions to rescue the season but I refuse to hang the head just yet. I haven't heard the slightly overweight lady singing yet. We have had a pathetic start and while we must take one game at a time the next 5 games will define our season. I may be a fool but i remain optimistic. C'mon UNITED
If YOU are not part of the solution,
YOU ARE part of the problem
talk of being doomed is far too premature imho. A sequence of 2 or 3 back to back wins (unlikely as it looks right now) will always put a far brighter reflection on everything. we just need a new manager in before the mole hill turns into a mountain. no disrespect to billy but he is not ready for it just now.
the new manager has to be in place before saturdays game .Im usually the most optimistic supporter but somehow i cant see us acting quickly enough to stop the rot.

you cant give up that easy, Its still early days, and anything is possible. we do need prompt action on a manager though rapid

Closing date for applications is Thursday so it's hardly likely a new manager will be in place.

Too early to give up. Weve played all top teams so far bar Cobh. We just need to finish top of the mini League (Bray UCD Fharps Cramblers Shligo Utd)

They cant hang around waiting for ever.They should have went for Rico straight away and agreed terms with him the day after they shafted Tony.

Ah Jasus lads!! There’s still 81pts to play for.
2006: after 6 games -2pts - Goals for 3/against 8
Sligo / Drogs / Pats / Longford - All home. Cork / Rovers - Away.
2007: after 6 games -1pts - Goals for 2/against 9
Bohs / Rovers / Cork - Home. Cobh / Pats / Drogheda – Away
Much tougher start to this season.
The team needs support now more than ever. In the old stand Friday night & the abuse been thrown at a couple of our own players was completely OTT.
Not this 'shafted Tony' crap again. C'mon GUFCT, if we're giong to live like this, why not still complain about how Tommy Callaghan was shafted back in the 70s. Move on.
As for the rest of the posters, lads and lasses, ye have restored the flagging optimism that I was feeling when typing my last post. Sligo, Bray, UCD and Harps are 4 of our next 5 games, win them and we are mid table. C'mon United
