2009 Galway United F.C. season
2009 Galway United F.C. season. This is a list of competitive matches played by Galway United in the 2009 League of Ireland Premier Division season. Following the departure of Jeff Kenna to St Patrick's Athletic on 14 January 2009, Ian Foster was promoted from his role as assistant manager, signing a two-year contract to take over the reins at the club. Foster succeeded in helping the club avoid the relegation play-offs in 2009, albeit due to Derry City's expulsion from the League of Ireland Premier Division.[1][2]

gollark: Why NOT make a unary calculator, or a calculator which solves halting problems, or or one which only runs some sort of deranged LISP?
gollark: There are probably lots of ideas for calculators which haven't been explored much because they're "really stupid" or "mathematically impossible" or "against the laws of physics" or "entirely useless". NO MORE, I say.
gollark: Or use low power hardware and run it entirely off solar or something, there are many possibilities.
gollark: Or, with a highish res display, G R A P H I N G.
gollark: Maybe you can get some kind of 48-character-or-so letters+numbers+some punctuation keypad and have a programmable one which is actually not terrible to use.
