Pats

[MyTown]

AFAIK Wes is off home now and will miss the Waterford & Shamrock Rovers games.

[GuisaSaigon]

Great display from the lads, I thought Vinny Fah was man of the match. Derek, Jayo, Leech and Conneely were buzzin too. But the most pleasing thing was it was great team performance.
I was a bit gutted that we didn't win after playing Pats off the pitch for most of the game, but if we can replicate that performance week in, week out we will stay up no problem.
There was a clear change in the style of play, good passing and movement replaced the pointless long ball game we've had played for so long. We have to stick to this, no more hoofing.
Best game in Terryland in a long time, that level of energy and commitment is what we need from now until the end of the season. KEEP IT UP UNITED

[GuisaSaigon]

Ive watched the penalty decision a few times now and i am as sure as i was after seeing it from the other side, it was a cast iron penalty. Just look at the reaction from the pats number 14.
The referees are ruining the league. It seems like every week they get all kinds of decisions completely wrong. I hope MNS highlight McKeown & co's inept performances.

[Tir Oilean]

I agree Saigon. On the peno Id like to see it on RTE because it'll be conclusive but as said elsewhere the reaction of the Pats lads said it all. It couldve been given very easily. Some say thems the breaks but fcuk it we dont get let off the hook like that too often.

My Town has highlighted one of our major problems in the coming weeks. We need Wes in every game, he may not turn fast but he is a rock in defence and a threat going forward when needed. Best of luck to Wes on his travels.

it was a fab game, that faherty goal was unreal. I was at the corner flag for that stonewall peno. Fool ref his explanation was laughable he actually booked him because he said he went 3 yards before goin down he was clearly trying to stay on his feet so now loi refs book not for diving for a peno.
rico on radio said the game reflected all thats good in the game and mingled it with fanciful thoughts on Galway Bay, the red sky setting and a wonderful occasion, mind you he gave the ref credit for a good game which was probably fair overall but the peno was a complete joke from where i was standing. Leech was brilliant too

[eamo1]

Geezer-Where did you hear/read those comments by the ref?Just wondering because they dont normally ever comment on specific incidents.


I started a thread on the E.L section a few weeks ago about the poor standard of refs and what can be done about them,not much suggestions though.
UTD are the most frustrating team to watch and support in the world bar none.Play brutal against a fellow relegation team one day and a few days later play some brilliant stuff against a top team.That performance was a million miles better then anything T.C could have gotten from them.Jeff will turn it around i think,hes started it already.

[gufct]

When Ian Foster asked the ref coming off at half time he said garry took 3 steps bfore going down i heard it myself. I think he missed Barry Ryans challenge as opposed to Jamie Harris charge into his back.

This is not the first time weve had stonewall penalties turned down by the same referee the worst of all time was the cup game against Cork a few years ago when Michael Devine rugby tackled Dave Goldbey. The assesor last night was a former Linesman who retired only last season and would have been working under last nights referee.

[Tir Oilean]

The referees assessors job is just a role in the mould of "jobs for the lads" when they cant keep up with the space after a few years. They will never have any effect and are a drain on resources. Its the linesman who should be raising his flag when these things happen but they dont have the balls. Lesson learned here really if you get as much as a nick in the box go down, dont try to carry on and make it look as good as you can....sad but true.

[Terry-Lander]

One of the best games of football in Terryland in a long long time. It's all been said about the lads and the blind, incompetent ref. The support was magnificent. People in the Corrib stand even seemed to be singing!!! One small request......can the anti dublin ( reference to wife beating) song be dropped. It is offensive and while it might antaganoise the opposing fans it does nothing to support United. Once again well done to everyone on a memorable night.

[gufct]

Didnt actually hear it last night as we were too busy stopping Pats Fans fighting with each other. People know this song is banned and anyone seen starting it will be removed.We dont need stupid abusive chants just get behind our own lads .

[gufcfan]

Conneely was coolness personified, and started the move for the second goal.
He might be in for a run in the side after that display.

A few times he looked like he might get caught in possession, but like you said, coolness personified. Played his way out of trouble without panicking.

[gufcfan]

Lesson learned here really if you get as much as a nick in the box go down, dont try to carry on and make it look as good as you can....sad but true.

I think something happened in the ireland game the last day. The commentator highlighted the fact that a Colombian did his best to stay on his feet when he could have gone down.

It's a sad state of affairs when commentators are singling out players for their honesty and imply it to be a weakness in the player.

I dont want to take the wind outa our sails but

We are still 5 points adrift of saftey

When ever we play well we get our hopes up and the next weekend we're let down again.

Ill keep my excitement reserved till we at least leap cobh

Very true. Two of our best performances of the season have come against the top two and our worst came against Cobh.

Picking up the odd point won't get us out of danger.

That's exactly what i said, we only took a point and they won't keep us safe!!

[Tir Oilean]

Ya he played a stormer alright but I heard people sayin he and Leech were crap?!? I thought they all played very well tbh there were no passengers on that pitch.
