GAA Discussion / Re: Donegal home league games
January 02, 2007, 06:05:59 PM
The venues aren't up on the Donegal website yet.

Donegal v Dublin is generally played in Ballyshannon, which should be a nice cold windy spot in late February!

Seven clean sheets in a row is great.Isn't it a pity we threw away points at start of season
On this form we'll give Barca a right bash

Hopefully. However, the fixture list has been relatively kind of late, whereas it wasn't earlier in the season. The next two or three weeks will tell a lot: Blackburn away, Bolton at home, Arsenal in the cup.

2-0 final score.

Seven clean sheets in a row.

GREAT STUFF ;D
Tried downloading those programs and got the game but it keeps stoping and starting

Some days the streams aren't great, other days they're excellent. You're better off trying a few of them to get a good one. Not all are in English though!

2-0!

Screamer from Alonso - whipped it into the top corner from 25 yards!

Crouch just hit the post from the edge of the box...

I have broadband do you know any website where i might get it or games in the future?

Get them here: http://www.myp2p.eu/Saturday.htm. You'll have to download programmes such as PPMate, PPLive or whichever to watch them.

The Liverpool game is available here http://www.myp2p.eu/Matches/Match2.htm at the moment.

Keeper just denied Carragher another goal for the decade with a great save!

Awful game though. Watford don't make it easy. Hopefully Liverpool will get another before the end as Watford push up a bit.

where you watching it?

Its the live match on the Fox Soccer Channel in the US. Most of the big English games are available on the internet as well - the lack of broadband in Ireland might be an impediment in that respect though.

Bellamy just missed a sitter when clean through!

Djimi was unlucky for the penalty, I think he was very wound up from the start and the challenge that led to the penalty was a result of this, there was no malice in the challenge. I always like Djimi, he had an outstanding champions league final and for that I think we all owe him one. Great clearance from Pennants shot.
Almost a good set of results for us today. United lost, but sadly Chelski sneaked a win. I hate to say it but they look good. Plenty of fight.

I think you're being rather generous in your evaluation of Djimi's Champions League final performance. He dove in to give away the free from which Maldini scored in the first minute. He got caught out (as did the rest of the defence) by the criss-cross runs that lead to the second goal. He nearly gave away a goal early in the second when he miscontrolled a simple five yard pass, allowing Kaka to run at Hyypia and win a free on the edge of the box, which Dudek saved from Shevchenko, just before Gerrard scored. Yes, he made a couple of clearances and played well after that, but overall, it wasn't great stuff from him.

He certainly has some very strong aspects to his game, such as his speed and tackling, but I don't think he has the head to play for a top-level team. He makes too many simple errors of judgement and technique, and often cannot complete a short pass. For example, why the hell didn't he just clear the ball with his head in the penalty incident? Pennant was never going to beat him in the air.

On today's game, they're irrelevant as far as Liverpool are concerned. As a Liverpool fan, Chelsea are certainly the lesser of two evils, in that United are our greatest rivals, but I think that is about the extent of Liverpool's interest in the top two, barring some dramatic collapse by both, which is not going to happen.

Disaster??!! ;D

You lost a tight away game to a well-worked goal. It happens!

West Ham are nowhere near as bad as their recent form. Curbishley is a very capable manager. United were never going to cruise through this match, especially when it was his first match in charge.

It doesn't get much easier than that away from home, especially at a place where Liverpool have a very mediocre record. Charlton look finished. Some shocking mistakes from them at times.

Liverpool should've had a few more, but three goals and another clean sheet is fine by me!

Always used to get really annoyed at the Angeles being shown on the TV just before the News every evening, in this day and age there is no need to subject the majority of viewers to this, I'd say 98% of viewers turn over

Its about time it went. The catholic church's "special position" in Irish society is long passed.

I'm a Liverpool fan, but Michael Thomas' goal in the last minute of the '88-'89 season to win the league has got to be up there. What a way to win the league!

Nice free from Gonzalez and very easy in the end. As usual, the first goal is the vital one in Liverpool's home games. Had Fulham scored it, or had Liverpool not won the penalty when they did, it could have been another frustrating afternoon. Good to see Carragher score! He anticipated the flick-on very well and finished it nicely at the back post.

P.S. Tell Gerrard not to take penalties! He's nearly as bad as Owen was!
