Most likely the usual 352 with the wide men not tracking back quite as much as normal. Although commentators do tend to get these things wrong, i was a few mins late for the Shels game and Spratt or whatever he's called on SE said it was 442 when its was obviously 352, or 532 whatever way you look at it.

Good result for us. Didnt really get out of 1st gear but didnt have to.

Galway wee very poor, especially in the second half. Te worst team Ive seen so far.

We should have had 3 more. Mooney missed a sitter of a header in the first half, Cillian Lordan missed another in the first half(dunno what game you were watching Tir O).

Wed gotten the goals so were cruising. Went to sleep for there goal but responded well.

Flynny should ahve squared the ball for another tap in for Mooney in the second half and Alan O Connor missed a sitter from 6 yards out.

I dunno if it was suspensions or injuries or what but Galway needf to improve and start picking up points soon.

Also, why was you manager sent off?

Easiest win in the EL, harps are the worst team i have ever seen. Some of their defending was comical. We looked like a team with width Guy played on the right and did well gave fahey options when he had the ball.

Would like to say we were brilliant but harps are really really bad.

I was up in Block A of the Jodi, so my vieew was crap, but I thought the defender got the ball and followed through on the attacker due to momentum. I thought our peno was very soft too. It looked like our player (Kav?) went down very easily.

Happy with a point. Thought we played pretty well. I wasn't impressed by Bohs for about eighty minutes of the game. They had a very good spell around the goal but then seemed to slow down and we had a few chances then. Overall, a draw was a fair result.

Another joke of a penalty at Drogheda Ucd, Garto clearly got the ball only for the player to fall over after he had taken the ball on the trailing leg of the sliding tackle, absolute joke

From my view it was a defo peno. The player hit it by Garto and Garto slid right thru him.

I suppose we'll see on Monday.

I was right in front of it and I'd agree with what Navandrog said. I couldn't believe a penalty was given.

By all accounts, the Drogheda penalty was as soft though?

Managed to miss both "fouls"...

Random stat which came up last night - the "bottom six" have taken four points off the "top six". I'd say you oculd almost stay up with 30 points this year, even with three going down.

I missed Drogs' penalty as well.

Very soft but I thought Drogheda's was at least as bad. I'll reserve judgement until Monday's highlights but the ref seemed to be giving free kicks for a lot of innocuous challanges.

I am too fed up after the game to do a report on it! You didnt have a large crowd but they were noisy.

Yes they were wearing that god awful pink. I love pink and am all for more of it in football but that shade is puke enducing!

One of our committee came up at half time and asked if I had WYMC or Im too sexy for my shirt to play for your lads.........

He was also off side. Plus what was our goal disallowed for? Looked alright to me but then again I was down in F so wouldn't have had the best of views.

I'd tend to agree with you there...

I think it was Ger Rowe just about to shoot when he was pulled back, last defender and he didn't even get a yellow card. Should have went IMO.

As for the Bohs peno, well how Hugo gave it i'll never know, i was 100 yards away and could even see that Cronin won the ball fair and square, it was actually a superb tackle. Shocking decision.

Bohs had there chances to score but O'Connor was excellent (apart from bhis kicking), i thought it was probably his best game in a Bray jersey.

We caught Bohs 3 times on the break in the last few minutes and how we didn't put at least 2 of them away i'll never know?

Before the matc i would have been happy with a draw but on reflection i'm gutted and thin k we were hard done by. Very encouraging preformace by the lads and Eddie's subs were great and very well timed.
