Bit of a stroll in the second half in the bowl.
But Dundalk's future looks bright
We play on 18th as well.
Fran and Irene doing what they do best. Nice to see Derry aren't been put out though.
I can imagine all the fai boys discussing what next to do "Eh doh ah I don't know amm..... Oh wait I know we'll find limericks busiest period and ah rearrange the fixture in the middle of that". "Brilliant idea, perfect we'll go with that so".😄
Ecstasy in Tallaght this evening, the league needs a resurgent Shamrock Rovers and other teams for that matter, who can take points from Cork.
Intersting evening in Drogheda.
Pats are in trouble. Good win for Drogheda, young team but work hard for each other.
Galway opened up well, Seanie scored a bit of a bizarre goal against the run of play. Game was over at 2-0. Achille Campion looked rubbish in pre season. He confirmed that he is rubbish tonight.
Great to see Conor Ellis score his first senior goal for City tonight. Hopefully the first of many.
Three points on a tricky pitch, two weeks in a row. Cork just need to keep Maguire fit.
By all accounts Anthony Buttimer had a night of nights in Bray, awarded a penalty that was outside the box and let Bray score a goal into an empty net when the Harps keeper was down with a serious head injury which he was immediately substituted for,McCourt got his first assist and Ciaran O'Connor grabbed a brace but alas no points and we'd want to do some work on defending during the week!!!
He went off with an injury tonight, looked like he had his hand on his hamstring. Hopefully it was just a precaution. He has scored in his last 8 games I think now, including MSC and going back to the end of last season. Scored in every game this season. 34 goals all told in just over 12 months. Not too many City players have scored that many in recent years. Cummins the most recent striker who was remotely as prolific and that was in the first division.
Pitch was fine to be honest, great work by the groundstaff in the end.
Ah here, why did they have to reschedule it to then? Was the club consulted?
And whose responsible for the electrics in Maginn Park? You'd assume some kind of inspection would have been done before the FAI ok'd it and the club moved in. Can't help but say this is all rather mortifying for Derry, and disproportionately unfair to Limerick and Limerick fans.
Walking on air after tonight's result. Rain threatened to ruin the game at times but both teams tried their best in testing conditions. Good crowd from Pats, fair play to them given the weather.
At half time I felt we should have been at least one up but to no avail (hit the bar and missed at least one that was easier to score tham miss).
In the second half Pats threatened more and hit the post in a ten minute good spell but they faded after their substitutions (imo). Their midfield looked good but the back line was very nervious once pressed.
I do think some pats players dropped the heads well before the end of the game - some (not all) seemed to be going through the motions.
Again we need to keep taking this one game at a time but I am enjoying looking at the league table tonight. Pete has instilled an honest hard working approach to the team and it's very enjoyable to watch.
Cork next week will be a very tough game but who knows how we may do 😇
Brought my eldest to the game along with my dad, two cousins, met other cousins and uncles plus a few neighbours - our clubs are more than just football,they are community - pity many people don't realise this wealth in our misth.
I don't think too much blame as it stands can be heaped on Derry. Disgraceful a game at the highest level in the country has to be called off due to floodlight failure and I feel so bad for all the fans the travelled up early this afternoon.
Having the game rescheduled for midweek though is a joke. It would have been some way acceptable if a comprise was made and the teams met half way at least. Maybe Sligo.
A representative from Derry, (Bradley, I think) was interviewed shortly afterwards on BBC Radio Foyle and he said that reason it was on this date was that it coincided with League Cup fixtures. Derry and Limerick both have byes in the first round.

Ryan Delaney's goal tonight
Literally everyone we spoke to from Derry up there after it told us the generator went so it would appear a back up generator was useless because there was none. Whole set up in Buncrana awful tonight even without light failure tbh.
Clearly my presence was inspiring to Cork too! I'm be back in my natural blue corner next Friday, be afraid Dundalk, be very afraid.
If you're free some Friday, we could do with your presence at Dalymount. We need all the help we can get.
