FastCards Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 It's a win, it's a clean sheet, it was another chance for the new team to play together and gel. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulster-saint Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks for the vote on confidence, I haven't yet lost my phone and no I am not drunk Sorry I forgot to text updates during the game (I'm sory) and I have had not been able to get online in Ballymena as the wi-fi was gubbed, just back in Belfast now, so here I am now As for the game, well I thought the first half as probably everyone else did was pretty rubbish, not really anything exciting to note. The team came out in the 2nd half and played a lot better, I thought McQuade had a great game and he took his goal well. Ally Love came on and impressed, much like he did against Brechin. Its good to know we have a player in the team with a good left foot, he nearly scored another peach of a goal but it was just wide, but certainly very promising from him. Marc McAusland was on the bench and played the last 5 minutes or so, Love, Murray, Thomson all came on, and we were much improved in the 2nd half. Dargo nicked a goal at the death too, tbh I never really saw it, but apparently he took his shot and it may have rebounded over a defender and over the keeper, but a goal is a goal. No injuries or anything to report, and was a nice wee afternoon out, hopefully tonight will be as well (Oh and Barlow was in fine form as usuall) Have tae agree with you there...especially on first half, it was depressing. Yer man Love was pointed out to me and looks a decent act. Hope you got back OK, remember giving you that taxi number and not seeing you since!

saint in exile Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 A few observations about yesterday. As others have said, the first half was crap, apart from a good shot that came back off the woodwork. Second half was much better, but still not great. We need to remember who we were playing - these guys are still part timers in pre-season. Still, a win's a win! I thought McGregor looked pretty useful, as did McGowan and McQuade. Wardlaw looks like a poor man's Higdon. Dargo scored with a deflected shot that left the keeper stranded, but otherwise was sh*te. The rest were pretty ordinary. Saints fans were in good voice as usual. Ballymena have a good wee set up - nice stadium with improvemens goin on, several other pitches in the complex, a good wee soial club and a bar in the ground.

Herbie Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 What's with all the seats round the track? I think it's because they held the final of the Milk Cup there last week (U19 Internationals I think) and they currently only have one stand.
