Galway United 2015 season - MOD Warning in Post #1

Mod:People, Please bare in mind that sports threads usually go in their respective fora - which already have effective, established rules in place suited to their content. We're letting this thread go ahead for now, but keep it light, Galway United related talk for the fans. Expect to get infracted for trolling if you're only here to shit stir. /Mod

As always, report a post if you think there is a problem with it, attacking other posters will not end well for you.

I thought Galway United's return to the Premier Division was worthy of a thread here. Is anyone planning to join President Michael D (and myself!) in attending the season opener against Derry City tomorrow night?

I haven't been paying much attention to the close season comings and goings so I don't know too much about the Galway squad but it will be a fairly tough start against Derry as they're always strong and well organised.

The weather forecast looks reasonably promising so hopefully we'll see a big crowd and a decent game of ball.

I can't wait. The fanzine 'Standing Room Only' is out again for the first tie since 1994. Ya can follow SRO on Twitter @galwayunited

Careful now or Biko might come in and close this, clearly traffic is more to peoples liking in these parts.

Looking forward to the return of Premier Division football to Galway, Derry missing a couple of players through suspension so hopefully we can take advantage and have a positive start.

I suppose we can leave it here for people that cannot find the Soccer forum.. :P
We'll run with Soccer forum rules - any slagging of players, managers or clubs and you get carded.
Keep it local folks.

Aside from the level 2 weather warning!!
They'll be needing to keep it in the ground as best they can this evening. Unfortunately I can't go. Coaching my own girls on fridays

Ah, sure, a pesky little level 2 weather warning is a routine occurrence in Galway these days!

I do have several layers of clothing at the ready, as it's a known fact that temperatures inside LOI grounds are at least five degrees lower than they are outside the ground!

How much is it in to the game later ? And is the car park likely to be full up well in advance ? thanks

Paddyfield · 06-03-2015 1:26pm

Carpark will be closed an hour before kick off. It's €15 in for adults, €5 for teenagers and Under 12's are free when accompanied by an adult.

Car Park beside Black Box theatre is best option and it's a 5 minute walk .

Really looking forward to this game....

Ticket info here http://galwayunitedfc.ie/ticket-information/

The car park probably will fill up early.

Will it? Gates don't open until 7.

Paddyfield · 06-03-2015 1:46pm

When there are 'big' games like this, people always go to the stadium early and wait in their cars. I've done this when I was bringing a friend to games who was on crutches. Gates officially open at 7pm but usually on gate is opened earlier when a large crowd is anticipated.

I wonder how much of each ticket sold will go towards paying Michael's damages:

That's the Galway Football Association, not Galway United.

spurshero, if you want to keep posting then please step up the civility a few notches.

You-night-ed!!!!

spurshero · 06-03-2015 6:22pm

what about Mrs o brumble making a personal attack on a person who had no bearing on this thread . That's perfectly fine is it ? Serious question

It's a shame about the result. Sounds like United would have been worth a draw at least.

Ya i'll never know how we lost that game, absolutely dominated them in the first half and had a couple of chances in the early second half that we just didnt take. Great crowd up and hopefully things can better.

civis_liberalis · 07-03-2015 10:42pm

In Mrs OBumble's defence, that story said Galway FC when it was first published, and not Galway FA. They also said Galway FC when posting it to twitter/facebook, until they were corrected.

Ruben Remus · 09-03-2015 10:37am

Some lovely passing football from Galway during the first half on Friday, but things fell apart after the break. The defending for Derry's two goals was farcical, and what's worrying is that it was one of weaker Derry sides I can remember seeing. United will need to be more ruthless in defence in order to be competitive in this division.

Get Ludden back and hopefully the new American Garcia is decent and the defence should improve

Mr_A · 09-03-2015 2:54pm

It's Donegal Monday as Finn Harps are in town for a league cup clash tonight.

See you all in the Hole in the Wall

civis_liberalis · 09-03-2015 9:42pm

United 2-0 up against Harps at half-time. Padraic Cunningham and Gary Shanahan with the goals. Jason Molloy instrumental in both moves.

Starting line-up

Jake Keegan scored the 3rd from the penalty spot after he was taken down in the box.

Sligo Rovers in the next round, if I'm not mistaken, unless Mayo take their scalp tomorrow night.

Ruben Remus · 09-03-2015 11:49pm

Eight goals scored in United's first two competitive games at home this season. Nobody can argue that they're not getting their money's worth!

Did Oji go off injured? Thought i saw that on twitter

Wompa1 · 10-03-2015 4:51pm

They need to sure up at the back but going forward they seem solid. The entire front line is impressive. I hope Cunningham gets more starts. He looked like something special at the end of last season and seems to link up well with Keegan
