I would expect a much improved performance against Pats - Could be a backlash from both teams after the midweek results. Realistically you would expect Pats to win - However I think we might scrape a draw out of it

expectations will be zero for united - therefore the players should perform better
then again we are at home and unless we are 3-0 up after ten mins the usual terryland groan will commence then gain momentum - until pats nick a 1-0 in the second half
i can hear the paint drying
it was noted over the last few home games how little meself and the lads are talking about soccer - there is nothing left to give out about on the pitch that hasnt been said a million times before
at this stage we are just sitting up there out of badness really - its such deja vu over last season again
any of you folks in the same position get on the gust bus for the next away one and at least have a good time watching united!!!
more water!
This and all remaining home games are now must-wins. I wont hold my breath though. An improvement on last Monday's insult to United fans is the minimum requirement.
We have all stumped up extra money this season in harder economic times because we bought into the idea of having a team capable of challenging in the top half of the Premier Division.
We already feel like the biggest mugs on the planet. We dont need another evening in Terryland watching 11 overpaid junior football players running around like its the early stages of the Salthill 5-a-sides.
The time has come to step it up or feck off.
The fans need to be heard as well.The place was like a graveyard last week no flags or drums . The team cant play as bad again so ever the optimist Leechy to score and Vinny to be seen Hugging him at the end of the game.

As someone else said above the fans cant start moaning at the players with 20mins gone,we have to keep encouraging the lads,telling them to keep going and keep pushing on etc.We CAN get something from tonight,the players need our help(que 10 ppl coming on here to tell me im talking crap and that the players dont need or deserve our support etc etc blah blah blah).
McCulloch will be a loss IMO. Fitzgerald was my Player of the year Last Year, (even with half a season), but he may benefit from the break tonight.
Good Luck Lads

He'll be lucky to get game next week after tonights performances. What a game! It had it all two penalty claims, four goals, great defensive work, great passing, players with attitude and fight, potential league winners(chuckle chuckle), oh ya and the compulsory tosser of a ref. Was dreading MNS last week cant wait for next weeks episode.
Seamus Conneely was superb and Regi put in his best performance so far this season. Russeller closed down every ball and never gave up, Wes didnt miss a single header all night, Vinny & Leech are the new strike force. He's improved since Kenna's arrival. Speaking of Kenna where'd he go after the game didnt see him leave the pitch.
The first goal was supposed to be a cracker (I missed it) the second I think couldve been dealt with better by Rodgers.
Anyone interested in starting a campaign to get rid of McKeown from the list of referees?
"Are those my feet" Fr Jack Hackett
Hugely entertaining. Felt we deserved the win. Agree with TO that it was Regi's best performance in over a year. Thought Wes, Deegan and the front two were excellent. Great to see a front man on the scoresheet. The two goals were superb. The equaliser was our best "team" goal in as long as I can remember. Great pity to concede the two we did, but it's not a night to dwell on the negative. The lads worked very hard all night & fair play the crowd were behind them all the way even after the shock of a quick equaliser from Pats & the disappointment of going 2-1 down.
I had Rico on the car radio coming home. Unlike TO he praised McKeon and the assistants for getting the big calls right. In fairness the ref did not affect the result - which is the sign of a good 'un imo. Rico was his usual lyrical self, praising the crowd, the teams, the atmosphere, the quality of the football, and to top it all sez he "and the beautiful sun sinking in the west behind Terryland as the final whistle went".
Well done Jeff & the lads. Repeat prescriptions at the ready please.

I would'nt agree with the new strikers bit, the differance tonight was in the quality of ball, the played the ball better into the channels for the strikers to run onto, this was partly to do with Pat's playing a high line aswell though, i'd have stuck Glynn on for the last 15mins, defenders legs would have been tired and he's a bullet and for once he would'nt have had stupid balls planted on his head with a defender at his back.
Two points defo dropped IMO, if we get a team on the ropes like that again we have to take the 3 points, we're not going to be given many opportunites to pick up wins this season and we're cut adrift right now so have to make these games count!!
Let's see can we build on it, we've been VERY inconsistent this season but hopefully we've turned a corner now, first leg to see if that's true will be next Friday!!
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
He was first in to the dressing room. He ran in before the players. Domino's deliver pizza at the end of every game to the home dressing room (I kid you not) so maybe he was hungry.
Entertaining game all round. Rogers was poor in goals and his time must be up.
O'Brien was outstanding and Wes was excellent. Russel is our best player this season by a long shot.
Waterford in the Cup next weekend.
Absolutely cracking game and the most important thing is we got a result imagine if we had lost that after playing so well. All 11 were fantastic with Deegan my MOM closely followed by the front two and Seamus Conneely was talking to Johnny Mac afterwards and he was full of praise for Galway.
The fans were fantastic especially the old stand but even a mention for the new stand and the Standing Ovation at the end was brilliant. Get a friend or two up with you next friday we need to build on this.Im still buzzing 3 hors after the game and it was great to see people hanging on after the game chatting about the cracker they had seen.

That second goal we got is why football is called the beautifull game,how many passes??-unreal.
Pats were poor but clinical,2 chances all night 2 goals,we deserved at least a draw.
I had a great view of that peno,it was a stone waller as they say.Then he books deegan for diving,pathetic.
Pats fans were fighting amoung themselves i think,i seen the guards there at the end,i seen gufct on the scene as always..
If we played like that last monday we would have battered them
I said it before many times:Rodgers OUT
Sorry MyTown but we'll have to agree to disagree on the ref..at least till MNS! Eamo saw it as a stone waller and I'm pretty sure Leech was in the box when a Pats defender tried to exchange jersies before the final whistle. Never mind Rico he's away with the fairies when it comes down to the meeja work I'm sick of reading his ****e talk in the Cork Independent!
As for the Pats fans they were fairly ****ed off at the scoreline. There was a lad thrown out and later some girls were roaring abuse at Seamie so a steward and the guards intervened thats all nothing serious they had a few too many I suppose
HHHhhmmmmm Dominos Pizza!!!!! What happened to the healthy option with O'Brien's SAndwich bars!
"Are those my feet" Fr Jack Hackett
Ya i saw that, the two of them were muck too if i was him i'd have let them know that!!
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
There was actually 2 fouls before Ryan took Deegan down and the ref missed those aswell,unbelievable.Ill miss MNS but it doesnt matter,i saw it clearly,so did a few hundread others.A pats player put his hands on his head when it happened too,he knew it was.
Why could we not play like that last Monday against Cobh.
Super all round performance and some of the passing from United was top class. Deegan was everywhere and had what must be his best game for United. Thought it was a defo penalty at the time, but need to see it again.
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.
Deegan is suspeded next week. Fenn will probably come in for him as Lester
does not look match fit by looking at his prematch warm up.
Great game, great atmosphere, great support from the crowd that turned up, hopefully more to come.
Heres hoping that we can turn these dsiplays into 3 points, which we deserved on Friday night.
If Lester's back in contention it should only be for a center-back spot, the fella has proved countless times he can't fill that role at Prem level anyway!!.
(Sorry John i know you read here but it's true
Edit: (Hear you were asking about me.....again(last night). When your a professional you have to take the flak and prove your doubters wrong, not constantly asking people about them, and i'm not hiding btw just bad luck i have'nt been around when you ask)
