I see where Galway United have made the admission , to all parts of the ground €15 for the rest of the home games . Whats done is done , lets try get everyone up the dyke road for the last few premier games , I say it could be a while before we see sight of this division again , especially if the All Ireland league comes in .
Still , you never know if increased attendances encourage the players ,who haven't done that bad in a tough division .
Through all the coming and goings ,I have to admire Jeff Kenna , his first posting as a manager , he has remained positive and upbeat . Bet he never bargained on being told a few months into his tenure , that he had to sell his team !

The damage was done when they set their targets too high,totally unrealistic.Who in their right mind could say that Utd would challenge the likes of Pats ,Bohs, Cork,Drogheda,Derry etc for the title or a place in Europe.Remember they were'nt even good enough to get promoted on the field of play.Then they went and priced themselves outside of the genuine fans reach.I said it all along that fans would stay away as they are not fools unlike some of the people running the club.For the record I have a season ticket .I bought it in a moment of madness!

Watched the game tonight with interest , but feel Galway gained a point and Sligo left two behind. Spirited effort from players like Russell, Flaherty who gave their all and a super goal from Murphy, albeit they had very few chances!!!
They shot themselves in the foot in defence which was poor , esp for the goal , a player allowed to take the ball down and pass to Almeida , all within 2 or 3 yrs of the goal. Shortly after were asleep for short corner which could have produced another goal. Also felt that foul on Mc Cullough was as bad as the sending off offence and also that Sligo players must be watching too much Italian football , leaving or drawing legs behind and going down far too easily for frees, esp obvious with action replay!!!
Dougherty and esp Almeida (Sligo)head and shoulders above remainder, whilst the pitch and stands looked well , a lot of changes since i was there last with u13s.
Going on Kennas interview , wouldnt be surprised to see him play a part in the Bray game???

vinny wears his heart on his sleave and plays wiv pride , but in my opinion he's simply not good enough .. works hard up der but no goals!! they need a striker who'll score least 10+ goals a season and that shud b achieved easily. i c barry morans back in town, mite go back like alan murph did !!

Great result last night , you never no , maybe the exodus has sparked a bit of life into the players that remain . They were the better team right through the game , and a competitive " spirit " missing for a long time in the club was back - maybe Jeff Kennas doing ! Any way next home game coming up , lets go up and support our local team

Results have also gone well for United at the weekend :

Cobh 1 UCD 1
Sligo Rovers 4 Finn Harps 1

United are only three points from safety now, with fourteen games to go,
and more importantly, we are the form team of the four teams in the relegation zone.

Next Home Game :

Derry City, Terryland Park, Friday 25th July, 7.45pm KO.

Give credit where its due , great result for Galway Utd and Jeff K !!!!

A competitive team with a good stong combative spirit is often a better quality than a bunch of talented individuals!!!! Fair play to all....

Houdini may well be smiling on Galway Utd again this year . With news just filtering through that Cork City have just gone into examinership ! Should they be wound up , could mean them dropping a division , this happening to the best supported team in the league dosn't auger well for everyone else !

only tarob b4 we c a united irish league,money dictates.as 3 utd the will b an all local side operating in the 2nd div of same league.honestly dont think we will have a league side in the next 5yrs,bar u 20 and 21 ,support isent there

said so last yr,chonnaught rugby,[munster on da telly],and galway races,all o most people will follow is success,man u,chelsea,munster etc.times we live in ,aggressive ,b one of the gang etc,loyalty in this changing city out the door.most people cudent name 3 galway utd players and that says it all.im beginning to sound like NOSTRADAMUS!
