Jeff Kenna will attend a Galway United Fans Forum, in association with GUST, next Monday (19th) in Becketts Bar, Bohermore, at 8.00pm. All Galway United supporters and followers of the game in Galway are invited to attend.

Last nights game was one of the worst games of football that I have ever seen.One shot from Utd in the 1st half and it went out for a throw!The less said about the current squad of players donning the maroon shirt the better.The crowds are getting smaller each time and as I predicted 25 euro to watch that shite was too much. I wonder are the board still thinking we'll qualify for Europe. Nothing to lose now, give the young Galwegians in the squad their chance at least they will play with a bit of pride.

Well said Bono , lessons to be learned all over the shop , i wonder did anyone ever stop to think it wasnt a managerial problem but a player problem .Their just not good enough . Give the locals who will play with the best attribute required "heart", a chance!!!!!!!

well said . its a joke .they would want to let fans in FREE if they expect a crowd again st pats . from no 1 to 11 was a discrase on monday night.

So whats the excuse now with Kenna in charge Lenny???? The players regardless of who bought them are not good enough!!!!
"Is it a bad time of the month" for you AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH NEGATIVE DRIVEL AS YOUR POST ABOVE AND YOUR POST IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TOPIC!!!!!!!!!! Go out and buy a packet of you know what and shove one up each nostrill in case you get a brain bleed , mind you , you would look like a walrus.....then again you would want to shove them up your arse , as you must be sitting on your brains!!!!

Lenny , just a simple question for you to prove what your saying is wrong , "why has the west of Ireland such a big following for Leeds Utd , who have not jumped ship since their team were one of the main contenders in Prem League???

There is a difference between a fan and a supporter.

A fan keeps an eye out for results, might watch the odd match (probably in the pub) that their team is playing in, and is disappointed momentarily if their team loose.

A supporter makes every effort to go to as many games as possible. This might be one a year if they are living thousands of miles away, or forty a year if they live close to their team. They are gutted if their team looses, and on cloud nine for a few days if they win.

There are certainly a lot of Leeds, Liverpool, Man Utd fans in the west of Ireland. Only a small minority of them can be classified as supporters.

sorry ronan but if they kepp charging 25 euro and keep playing like they are there wont b many supporters/fans in terryland . a bad junior team would beat them at this stage

we dont mind paying . but paying to watch that is a joke.

I Was really trying to resist temptation in losing it , but with the above Drivel , goes to show THE BEST PART OF YOU WENT DOWN YOUR OLD FELLAS LEG!!!!!
There might be 15,000 fans in the city (doubt it though) but what f...... revenue , when Terryland could at most hold 5000 people????Are you going to pile them on top of each other????????They wont go and watch that crap anyway.........
AS regards a Galway born person following Kerry , what planet are you on ????

I will withdraw the second line above, as its not really suitable but your opinions as much as you are entitled to them , in my opinion are a load of cockwadgee!!!!

Buddy, you're criticism, which was valid after Monday night, was made void by last night's performance.
Against a team whose budget is 3-4 times the size of Galway's, Utd bossed a game that only 1,000 people were lucky enough to see. I know they only drew, and once more made a few mistakes, but the crowd were never less than 100% behind them as they played to their potential. It was the first time since the new stand opened that the crowd actually got involved in the chanting, singing etc. Hopefully this will be the end of the Jekyll and Hyde shows the home fans have been getting for a while. Supporting LIVE football, even at this level, gives a buzz far better than any game watched on the box. The lows are made bearable by the highs(such as last night). Again, I know it was only a draw.
Watch the highlights. I'd challenge anyone to pick out a better team goal than Galway's 2nd.

Ya couldnt agree more,a great performance from the boys last nite. After watchin that match last nite its hard to understand how they cant put away the small teams with ease and even challenge the big boys. Someone should teach Rogers where his goal line is-lobbed easily for the second goal.
Hopefully the team can consistantly play soccer like this and give us fans a reason to go to terryland. The ball actually stayed on the ground for most of the match. Keep playing like that and the fans will come!!!

Of course, I wouldnt expect 15,000 fans up in Terryland, but surely one fifth of that number can be persuaded to go up to a game every second week. If crowds of 3,000+ could be maintained then the club would have a solid base and money to attract better players etc. Its a vicious circle. "Won't go up cos they're shite" isn't going to make things better. Unless people start going up simply to support a football club, not to be entertained or impressed by standards, then it'll never improve. Bar stool fans in this town need to get up off their hole and experience some real football.
