What a bloody awful ground Maginn Park is. Finn Park is bad, but that place really takes the biscuit.
Great win for Harps though. Derry all over the place. Could have been much more if Harps had the correct shooting boots on.

Half-time came to soon for us,we had Bray in our pockets in the 20 mins leading up to break.Absolutely Battering them.The team that was doing that never came back out 2nd half and we had no chance with McKell running the show.Bray shaded it.We've lost our mojo somewhat.Originally Posted by jinxy lilywhite
Funnily enough that 13 comment was wrong. We've had 13 since the start of last season in all competitions (3 in Europe - just the one so far this season). But they have had 3 (one in Europe, one in the FAI Cup Semi in Derry).
Oh Well.
We actually had a couple of penalty shouts tonight. One in front of us where the keeper clattered Shep. Friend of mine said keeper got the ball, the rest of us thought it was a bang on pen. There was one down the far end in the second half that looked like a pen to us, but we're giving the ref the benefit of the doubt. Good thing is our two pens there went to Bray so thats fine!
We weren't great tonight. Seanie was a bit off the pace, twice in teh first half he had moments where even last week hed have reacted quicker and been through, but he just wasn't quite there. Could be complacency, could be just an off night. The two centre halfs gave him a a tough night tonight, the number 6 in particular was especially quick and beat him for pace a few times.
All that said though, he still popped up and created our second goal. For a one man team we're spreading the goals around. Shep has 6 (I think) and Bucks 4?
Delighted to see shep scoring a few goals. Was one of my favourite players when he was at rovers. Always felt he was a little unlucky and should have scored a lot more.
Horrible hoop alrigh.Always will be.t.
Decided to ignore the Cork fans and taunted the Bohs fans in celebrating what was a good goal.
Game performance from our under19"s.; Cork ordinary enough.A team with a striker would have taken at leat two of the chances against them.
Two crap sides in terryland (old money) the draw was a fair result but both teams are well in the relegation mire this season.
Good win for the Hoops last night, on an emotive occasion.
Once Sligo were reduced to 10 we controlled the game. Rovers weren't facing a Ryan McBride (RIP)who could marshall his 10 man team to victory only a month ago.
2nd half Rovers stepped it up and could conceivably have scored 6 but for shlingerman.
Onwards to the game against the bozos.
Nice one Gary McCabe!
Good win for Waterford in an entertaining game at the RSC last night. There's been some questions raised about Athlone lately but they gave it everything last night. Their keeper who looks like a character pulled off some great saves and even went up for a free kick right at the end but got injured challenging the Waterford keeper for a high ball and got taken off and got a deserved round of applause from home fans. Mark O'Sullivan has been a great signing and could have had 4 last night but was denied by some good saves. 1932 at the game which must be our biggest crowd at a regular league games in many years.
While you can never rule anything out in football, and not just the result, but taking Dundalk's overall performance into account, I wound rate the league title chances as very slim now. Over two full series to go and plenty of points to play for, but we are just not performing consistently enough and nowhere near good enough at the minute to challenge Cork.
Bray were decent, quite strong, surprised by how good they were, def a penalty for the first one, the second one looked ridiculous though, in saying that even if they hadn't have got the 2nd pen, I think they still would have won. We didn't threaten enough, overall quite lacklustre display really.

Quick reminder on this, if anyone fancies tuning in to today's only Premier Division fixture.
Limerick 2 Drogheda 0 HT
Limerick 2 up at HT, should be a lot more. At least two stonewall penalties turned down.
Agree should be 4 or 5 up missed absolute sitters
Great coverage on that link Alan - although it sounds like we where "muck" for some reason. 3-0 feels like a mercy score compared to what it could have been. We do blow hot and cold as a team
3 nil full time. Hit the bar twice in second half, drew great saves twice. Ogbene was outstanding.
About as one-sided a game as you will see in LOI or anywhere else in senior football.
Drogs have had a couple of decent results, but didn't turn up at all tonight, they were woeful.
