9 games in the league without a win too isn't it?

Fair play to the fans who did travel though, didn't make noise, but fair journey for a Tuesday night LC game.

Like the Murphy's you're not bitter.

ffs would you ever get over yourself. People are entitled to be a little bit happy to see their team not concede goals after such a terrible start to the season and keeping clean sheets away from home does require some sort of team spirit no matter how poor the standard of football is

Just stating facts

**Patrick Dunne** · 06/05/2008, 10:25 PM

Fact : We won, you lost !

**GuisaSaigon** · 06/05/2008, 10:27 PM

If we are stating facts........ the only facts of any importance are
1. we are in the 1/4 Final
2. Shligo are out of the League Cup

Beat me to it Pa!

TBH, it was a v poor game, was like a pre season friendly. We probably didnt take it seriously enough, thinking you would be a pushover, but your defence was well organised and Wes headed everything that came near him.
But as you say, your in the next round, not us

**Maroon 7** · 06/05/2008, 10:38 PM

Does anyone have the teams?

**sligored** · 06/05/2008, 11:02 PM

here goes my best guess
galway had rogers regi wes fitzgerald mcculloch oshea deegan lester(i think or russell)obrien leech and fenn?
used subs were faherty glynn and not sure who
rovers had brush coleman mckenzie almeida butler raf murphy ventre cash faz and boco
used subs were judge ogrady and foy

good defensive performance from galway - the hungrier but not the better team.
best of luck in the next round

**gustavo** · 06/05/2008, 11:04 PM

Sligo Rovers: Brush, Coleman, Butler, MacKenzie, Almeida, Murphy (O'Grady 89), Cash (Foy 78), Ventre, Cretaro, Kudozovic, Boco (Judge 27).
Subs not used: Jennings, Curran.

Galway United: Rogers, Nooitmeer, McCulloch, Charles, Fitzgerald, O'Shea, Deegan, Russell (Fenn HT), O'Brien, Leech (Faherty 72), O'Flynn (Glynn 107).

Well organised in defence. Wes had great game. Fitting Deegan got the decisive peno as he really came into the game, ok Russell and more importantly Sligo's Murphy had gone off. Stevo lead the line well and the other strikers gave there all. Fenn missed a great chance with header in second half, but like the rest battled hard. Same commitment needed for Friday and two clean sheets must add to confidence. still hope there.

If Galway are to play like that every week crowds will plummet. What the **** is Kenna at?
Ye created 1 decent chance on goal all night, never venturing out of your own half.

**Conor H** · 07/05/2008, 7:46 AM

People should ignore the Sligo muppets.

The game wasn't an entertaining one but UTD's effort was 10 times that of the last time we were in the showgrounds.Rogers was excellent as was Russell.Stevo held the ball up well throughout.
Only 2 non-performers were Deegan and Leech who were very poor.Deegan did improve gradually though and scored the winning penalty!

30 or so there from Galway.Always enjoyable winning on penalties.

**corbyeire** · 07/05/2008, 11:11 AM

this is a great boost for kenna and the team - hopefully the confidence will be high and united can create more and take some of the chances they are well capable of making

beating sligo on penalties is a huge turn around compared to 3-0 albeit with slightly different teams

slight chinks of hope are appearing...

was russler injured when subbed or was it tactical?

Probably fulfilling the promise he made on taking up the post..........."my priority is to stop leaking goals". Most Sligo 'fans' are bitter but that is understandable. Now go away and sort out your own problems.
