GUFC 0 Derry City 2

[Terry-Lander]

Probably to much to drink on the bank holiday and wanted to act the big man. You get them everywhere the odd nutbag. However 99.9% of our support can behave themselves, we just have the odd rotten apple (like all teams support) fuelled by drink mostly on these away trips.

The vast majority of Derry fans are a credit to the club. They travelled in large numbers and all those I met before the game were extremely friendly.

Remember this? http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=A02dZdGh850 go to 1:45
Google "mark gough galway united" you will get pages of reports with references to dodgy decisions. He should not be allowed ref our games, the club should make an official complaint about him. He's an absolute disgrace

Peno for that and no peno for the chalange by keeper last night last night

The FAI Need to act 99% of refs are so **** is not even funny

[DonO'Bate]

As one Utd supporter remarked to me upon leaving the ground, "we'll never get another penalty again, now that Derek is gone".

I am surprised that the Utd bench didn't complain more about the treatment that Russell received from the Derry defence, they kicked 7 lumps of sh**te out of him.

Good game though.We need to start shooting though,how many chnaces had we on the edge of the box and didnt pull the trigger??

yep jay got into great positions and would go for another turn instead of hitting the bloody ball

great performance and tempo - but with that amount of ball in their 18 yard area we have to start finishing

we have had too many victory in defeats this year - need to be clinical

of course a useless ref doesnt help

Having had the pleasure to be at Terryland last Monday evening, there are a couple of things I would like like to say;

• Best performance from a Galway United team I have seen in many a day
• Great commitment from all players
• Atmosphere created by home fans excellent (when was the last time a standing ovation to the team at half time when score 0-0)
• Derry supporters contributed to a great overall atmosphere.
• Jay O'Shea has grown in stature in last few weeks (ok could improve shooting) but is looking confident and having a go at the opposition
• New striker....good touch, good awareness and not afraid to mix it.
• Russell a revelation in the hole position/second striker. His corners were causing all sorts of problems all evening.
• Both Derry pens were ok'ish though for second one how could defender get arm out of way from 5 yards.
• Derry second goal was brilliant
• Our "penalty".....nothing to add from already added.
• Level of intensity and fitness seems to have improved under Jeff Kenna
• Galway will play worse and win
• Would be great to kick-on against UCD
• Derek Glynn needs to start on Friday
• And then Galway to beat Kerry on Saturday and Harrington to win PGA on Sunday.....What a weekend

Meant to comment on the attendance,where the hell(can i say "hell" on this btw?) was everyone????I only noticed it near the end when half the ground got up to leave after Derry's second goal.FACT:GALWAY IS NOT A SPORTING MAD CITY!!!!We all know that already though.

[Tir Oilean]

Galway beating Kerry is one too far but Glynn with Jorgie would be a good partnership because he could finally get the ball to feet and score on the counterattack which is the only way we get anything from the top teams from here on in.

[eamo1]

But if you play Jorgenson and Glynn up front where does Russell play??I suppose he could play just behind them.Our attacking 4 of those plus O'Shea is pretty good actually.He could play those 4 and then 2 holding midfielders in Foley and Lester like he did the last night.

Russell a revelation in the hole position/second striker. His corners were causing all sorts of problems all evening.

Unfortunately the problems he caused - when he took corners - was for his own side. Thought our delivery from set pieces was shoocking, we had something like 12 corners and only Lester got a header on target from them.

[eamo1]

I agree and meant to say it,the delivery from corners was poor enough.In the second half why was Russell taking them from both sides?Can Iarlaith or Mark not cross with their left foot,they should be able.

[GUISAUltra]

think we only took 3 good set pieces

Bad set pieces.... been that way all season... bit of coaching and imagination on the set piece front could bring us a vital goal or two, it's something that we can fix so let's hope they work on it...
