QuoteHeard a few and saw a couple of OAP cheerleaders. Official attendance is 750. The very rough estimate of 1,000 turned out to be slightly exaggerated.
Have Derry got any support down??

Crusaders 2 up
3-0 Derry
Shamrock Rovers FC, the big club.
Full-time in Tallaght. Derry win 3-0. Ryan McBride rounded the scoring off with a header. Can't see Rovers overturning that in the Brandywell.
Sligo go down 2 nil at Crusaders
All Northern Irish final. :-)
Rovers didn't really put up a challenge at any point. Finn found a lot of room in midfield but Twigg was too isolated to really make the best of it.
The sending off was an awful decision - even if it hadn't been a dive, he had lost control of the ball and was moving away from goal. Rovers probably should have had a couple of penalties too.
Wow, surprised by both results. Shamrock have a lot to do, Sligo can still turn it around. Hats off to Derry, fair play!
The dream and hope all winter was League of Ireland football coming to the Kingdom.
Unfortunately and very disappointingly it has not come to be on this occasion LoI 2012.
Think the challenge justified the penalty. Laws say kick or attempt to kick and he game rishing out studs showing. However Derry man went left - ball went right - unless a player was coming in wide off camera and could have scored it wasnt denying a goal scoring opportuntity. Dont think it was serious foul play so a yellow probably enough.Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
However a great result for Derry - wish I had taken the 14/1 double on Derry / Crues wins.
Biggest possible crowd for a final now would be Crues V Derry city at Windsor.
I would estimate 12,000 at least on a Sat afternoon in May!
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
I would expect sligo to turn around the result against crues next week.cup specialists and all.
As for Rovers- christ only knows what will happen, tho evidently our new manager does not rate the competition very highly if he's picking colin hawkins to play in a semi final..
League Specialists.
This competition is dead from an attendance perspective, if Rovers can't even get 1000 at a semi-final.
Being 3-0 down and with a long trip to Derry on a Monday night - I predict another travel "boycott" by Shams fans.
We shouldn't consider turning to your fans for help getting out of the brandywell if this is the general attitude.Being 3-0 down and with a long trip to Derry on a Monday night - I predict another travel "boycott" by Shams fans.
Was the Shams game in Tolka?
It was in Tallaght. Why would it have been in Tolka?
What because one team arent interested it's dead. Thats their loss. THink its a great wee competition meself.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
What are you talkin about?
There was NO contact by Pieterse whatsoever, so no penalty should have been awarded. McDaid is a diving c**t and Kelly never gave Rovers an ounce last night, two possibly three handballs in the area by derry players, one of them 5 feet from the cork numpty and he just waived it away smiling.
If he is regarded as our best ref, god help us.
