**Match Thread** Tues, Jan 27th @ 21:30 in Colombus - Boardeaux V Perrem DH

homerjay2005

righto, that time of the week again. no excuses, we need 3 points against these lot. from now on, all we can do is keep winning. huge ask, but it can be done, oak tree have won their last 8 games on the bounce and we are every bit as good as them. we have 7 left, 5 of which are against teams in the bottom 5, so in all fairness, if we dont win the 5, then we dont deserve anything from the league. oak tree are unlikely to drop points as are full irish so a win is a must.

the last time we played these, we needed 2 goals in the last minute to win it. so, wont be easy at all. plenty of effort needed.

Moved to England was the word at the SSDG AGM tonight. No loss tbh as Keely was never going to play him.

after oak tree being beaten, this gives us some extra bite now. we simply have to win tonight. if they dropped points last nite, theres no reason why they wont do it again in the next 5 games, in which they play ravehill and full irish, same as us. we just need to better their results.

Lets start to night were we left off last week. Just lay off the ball a little faster and we will get the result we want.

helimachoptor

Great squad out tonight lads, as Ed says 3 points is what we need. We have the players to do it.

LeixlipRed

Full strength squad almost as well. Have to capitalise on this.

homerjay2005

one thing i predict is that we will not hammer any team from now on, all games are going to be tight and very hard to win. ravenhill losing 3 games (with our opponents tonight being one of them:eek:) and oak tree loosing to coca cola (who we play 2 times) prooves this. dont be surprised if theres a few more shocks along the way from the bottom teams. how we finish games is vital from here on it, we have won and lost games already in the last 10 minutes.

I would agree Ed, if we lose concentration we are going to be punished. We need to keep going for 60 mins for the rest of our games. If someone is out of position or not tracking back quick enough scream at them. Only 3 points will do here tonight.

:eek::eek::eek:still? is he ok?

strong team, perhaps our strongest this year...thought means a tough job for des/mikie to pick team and subs.....

Some points I want to make.

We are on a run-in now, I will not be changing players for the sake of it, we are pushing for this league, and as last night shows, if we can get a decent run of results going, then anything can happen.

We have 17 lads coming out tonight, and I can't guarantee a game for everyone. I pick my team on form, and nothing else. I have no favourites.

I pick my team on what I feel is the best way to get the result from the particular game.

I ask everyone to do a job before each game. If they don't do that, and decide to go off and try to impose their own tactics on the game, then that, and that alone, is what causes us to lose shape.

I don't need a left full trying to be a left winger. I don't need a holding midfielder trying to be a striker. And so on.

If I ask you to do a job, you do it. If you are on the pitch you don't shout at me and tell me to make changes, either to personel, or to tactics.

There are enough lads on the bench who WILL go out there and do the job asked of them.

At this stage of the season, either you are part of the team, or you are not. I give my game plan at the start of each match, if one person decides they don't like it, it puts everyone else off, and we fall down.

Everyone there for 9PM sharp tonight please. No exceptions.

LeixlipRed

Ed, Larry has only been at 3 or 4 games this season. Though when he does play he's 100% committed so can't complain too much. Wonder what the craic with Lepo is? Hope he's alright. Very strong squad tonight and sure Des will pick the right team to put these guys under the kosh from the first second of the game. Last time we played these we let them dictate the pace in the first half. We didn't get at them at all and we ended up behind. No excuses this time, straight into it from the tip off.

Gutsy performance guys. Didn't get much luck with tonights results but who cares if we keep playing with determination like we did tonight. Also, hope Cathal is ok. Looked nasty. Ankle ligaments strained I'd say.

_blank_

Sorry, meant to say.

Cathal texted me after the match to get the score.

He said that it was still very sore and he reckoned a trip to A&E was on the cards.

I'll give him a bell tomorrow and see how he is.




Only one thing to say about the match.

What a fúcking genius substitution by me to get Derek on just before the free kick :D

LeixlipRed

I was just about to bang it in top corner so you needn't have worried

Some would argue that the genius was the guy who stood in front of the keeper so he couldn't see the ball :cool:

LeixlipRed

Cathal would just be best icing it up and going straight to a physio tomorrow as A&E is a waste of time with sport's injuries as they'll just charge you, take x-rays and send you to a physio. I know from experience

homerjay2005

good win and very pleasing result. could easily have drawn 0-0 had we dropped the heads. after losing 2 games in the last 15 minutes lately, its good that we turned the tide with 2 late goals ourselves this time.

super free kick from derek and fantastic work from dave to set up Ciaran for the 2nd. thats 4 in 3 now for him and from playing with him in the past, once he gets on a run, he will keep scoring, takes him to 7 for the season now.

some good performances, thought the defence was superb and they hadnt a sniff. that lad up front is the most awkward man ive ever marked, all bones, kness, elbows and pushes. proper snake, fouled every time one of us challenged him but the ref (who is a buddy of his BTW) let it go. at the other end, Art and Ciaran got kicked all over the place.

their lad in the middle (9) was an excellent player, first touch top notch and he caused us a few problems.

we also showed some balls last 15 minutes, we didnt give up and deserved the win. mark my words, that side are decent and better than 7th and will take points off one of the other teams (they play glenwood twice).

really hard luck on cathal, hope he is ok, never seen a player get injured in the first seconds of a game before.

helimachoptor

Good performance all round I thought, and the changes that were made were fluid and everyone knew where they were playing when they came on.

Was a tough game and we stuck at it for 60 mins and got the deserved 3 points.

Yes, I was quite happy with the changes myself, kept the shape, everyone knew what they had to do.

And can I just say, fair play to EVERYONE who called the man-on-man marking job needed on the number 9. Players on the pitch and players on the bench shouting at me at the same time to get someone out there to do the job on him, at just the right time too. Then we scored again to make it safe.

Well done everyone last night.

LeixlipRed

In bits this morning after marking that number 9 yesterday. Absolutely wrecked. Have a match with work at 2 as well. He was quality but he really didn't create much even though he had plenty of possession. Can't wait for next week now.

FrankGrimes

Great result lads, always like to hear of nice free kicks rippling the net! Momentum gathering and with a bit of luck elsewhere anything can happen...

What happened Cathal? So not only did I miss the match (due to being in poxy Athens, land of the poxy striking Greeks) but I also missed out on a chance to put my newly learned first aid course skills into work!

Went over really badly on his foot, he looked in a lot of pain.

It's mad, he impressed last week, and kept his place in the team based on that, then this happens. Bleedin' typical :rolleyes:

They got ultimately what they deserved for a night of fouling, elbows and arms that a free-kick for precisely that on Art gave us the crucial goal. Pivotal win perhaps..

Just to pick up on this.

lads, it's bloody pointless having a go at refs in this league, they never do anything about the complaints, and it could have cost us last night.

Agree 100% best way to sock it to them (and the other team) stick it in the net and let the football do the talking.

Go mental at the ref does us not favours.

to an extent yes and no...depends on how you speak to them. if you use language or do it constant, ul cross the mark and get send off. i learned that with constant yellows down throught the years.

talk to them with valid intent and they will give you the benifit of the doubt. refs wont change their decisions but if you ask them a question, they may think twice the next time and give you the decision. i mouth the whole time and its 2 years since ive been booked for dissent.

i had a quite word with the ref last nite after 3 or 4 decisions and just basically asked him to keep an eye on their striker who kept pushing me and dan in the air. we got the majority of the decisions in the 2nd half in 50/50 calls. not saying its down to that, but theres a difference between abusing a ref and asking for fair play and pointing out the obvious.

just my 2 cents, no need for a reply

Baggly

If you are shouting or talking to the ref while play is ongoing however, your mind is not on the game.
