Galway United thread

A strike for the ages from Borden tonight. It's been a special season for us long-suffering GUFC heads.

Think it was 5 from 9 before last night so 4 now I guess. That's assuming we both get the same results each week. Kerry away is the statistical favourite to be the night it's confirmed I believe.

Borden changed the game last night, we ceded control of midfield to that point and Hurley wasn't involved enough. It all changed then with Vince winning the ball, covering ground, freeing up Hurley in dangerous areas and scoring a screamer.

It’s coming home, it’s coming home……

4pts needed.

Away to Kerry next week, then home to Finn Harps could be the decider, depending on Waterfords results.

Seems to be a bit of a buzz around the Dundalk cup game too.

Sounds like there will be a big enough crowd to keep the breeze off 😂😂

No, it’s only €10. At least that’s all I’ve paid for my son all season. It’s the concession option, which covers U18’s.

Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but it’s never been an issue on the gate.

Buy an under 12 ticket and an adult . They will just be scanned . No questions will be asked .

Great to see a sellout. A win tonight would be some boost ahead of next season.

A great night . Fantastic atmosphere . Played really well and didn’t let Dundalk settle . Agree with poster above early save was crucial . Expected more of Dundalk being honest but I think they were shocked at how well united played and the tempo . Home semi Would be great !

Surreal game.

I'd never seen a team so completely unable to defend any kind of high ball into the box.

Biggest crowd I've seen in Terryland in many years. Was the attendance announced?

Attendances at LOI games are state secrets.

Exactly.

Just go to foot.ie. All up there as well.

Hoping for a home draw as well but not against Cork City

I'd be happy with Cork, they're involved in a relegation battle and will have that on their minds.

Toughest draw possible, but it’s at home and it’s a semi final, never gonna be easy, but what a game in prospect!

At least the league should be officially won by then, so no distractions even in the build up.

Another full house too.

A City United final would be different

Confirmed for Saturday @240pm. Very odd ko time. Rte covering themselves for Rugby that evening it seems.

So tonight could and should finally be the night! Hope anyone travelling down to Tralee has a blast, I’m sickened that I can’t travel, but roll on Monday at EDP to toast the champions!

Tickets for the cup semi final on sale there too, so should draw in a good crowd!

The only game I've stayed up past midnight to watch here. Great to see the celebrations! Very happy with the kick off time for Saturday on my end too.

Some change of fortune from the playoff hammering last season. Thought Caulfield was on thin ice then but it looks like Ollie Horgan has made a bit of a difference. Some season so far. Hoping for a spin to the Aviva to top it all off.

I remember the seethe from all the fans after the loss in Market Fields last year towards Caulfield and in fairness I was one of them that didn't back him to turn the performances around so drastically. The football is the easiest on the eye I've seen following Galway, players like Hurley have driven the team on with massive impacts and the signings have all paid off (Dervin showed his potential last week after a lot of iffy showings).

The feel-good factor is immense and they can focus completely on Bohs. Full credit to the management and players for 2023

You can. The lads commentating reckon they'll be all sold out at the Monday game so I wouldn't risk waiting till the Friday Athlone match.
