Match Thread: Boardeaux 3-2 Ravenhill Tues 22 Apr - 8.30pm @ Columbas

Right, we need a win here. The next three games are against sides down at the bottom part of the the table so 9 points from this games would do nicely. Played these twice last season and won both iirc but by a very slim margin in both games. They were a good side but definitely the sort of side we have to have any chance of winning the league.

Anyway, I'll be there.

you forgot the squad list martin! anyway, im going to make myself available for selection, while not fully fit, im sure i can give this a go anyway. i played 30 mins of gaa on friday night and while i wasnt kicking with my right leg, i still was able to sprint, so i should be ok. its been frustrating for me for the past 4 months, id say i have played about 30 minutes in total (bar my cameo in goals) since the eddie rockets game in december. dying for a game.

Yeh we beat these 2-0 then 3-0 (including an arser from Ed:D) last season so on paper we're a better team than them, but that don't win you games. We have the ability and need to apply ourselves fully to capitalise on it. Our committment last week can't be doubted and we're making good progress on getting more talk going on the pitch, more of that and we should beat these. But if things don't go our way early on we need to just keep the heads and keep faith in our passing game - they'll be setting out thinking if they frustrate us early they might nick it.

Have to say the throw-ins last week were fu*king atrocious - I was keeping an eye on it and reckon we lose possession from about 80% of our throws and what we do win is rarely good quality, that's criminal. The lads taking them that need to improve know who they are and until they can convince that they have it sorted, they should leave the throwing to others as we'd be better off with a player out of position throwing and us winning it than simply throwing away possession. That said, the midfield and forwards do need to be more proactive in showing for it to make the thrower's mind up for him.

WeAreShels

I'll be there anyway.

Yeah Dave, but with the tight numbers I'm just trying to keep track.

Gear has just been sorted.

Mr DesF Senior will be in attendence this evening.

Gileadi

Gwan the Senior!

As lepo said im laid low with some form of disease(s) so wont be in attendance tonight, should be ok by the weekend for the scouse-a-thon though, Des ill give you the cash for that sham of a contest next time i see ya

Best of luck tonight, and Ed : Don't ****ing wreck yourself any more

Agreed. You shouldn't be playing really....

LeixlipRed

Oh ****, better bring money for that tonight

FrankGrimes

A squad of now 22 players, only 2 currently out of Dublin, and we're getting a turnout of 13 players? 19 turned out last week, 13 this week, Liverpool vs Chelsea on TV - too much for coincidence for me. I also note that not a single person who is unable to play is listed as coming to support anyway. Ed, Martin, Colm have all shown up while injured to support the team

3 points tonight is absolutely essential to kick start our season, even a draw means we'd have 2 points from 9 and our season would be seriously undermined. Fair play to the 13 that will be there tonight and let's be sure we get those 3 points and click into top gear tonight.

homerjay2005

well looks like theres 3 or 4 players who are missing cos of the champions league game, disapointing, but it was always going to happen. 13 is enough, should give one or 2 players their chance tonight that may not have played much so its up to them to take it. for those who are missing tonight, they have no excuses if they are dropped next week and its dsappointing to see 1 or 2 players missing th at had a chance to start their first game tonight, of the season.

anyway, lets crunch this f*cking thing. dont worry bout me lads, ill be fine. i have 2 weeks to recover anyway as im in manchester next tuesday. i should be good for 30 minutes anyway.

emc2

I'd be there but I can't drive after pulling a muscle in my leg at training on saturday. I am hoping I'll be ok for next tuesday but I am out of Saturday as well.
