Week 5: Updates

Harps keeper Ciaran Gallagher being taken away in an ambulance. Nearly 20 minutes attention on the pitch and still ambulance and full medical team by his side.
All the players have been waved off the pitch. Coming together at speed between Gallagher and Seamus Long with Gallagher being knocked out cold by the challenge.

Harps now 1-0 up through Paul Simon Tracey on his league debut for the club.

**nigel-harps1954** · 31/03/2012, 2:43 PM

2-0 Harps. Seamus Long own goal.

Half Time - And so, after 70 minutes, we've reached half-time. Harps have scored twice since Gallagher's very unfortunate injury and Waterford have it all to do in a strange atmoshpere at the RSC. Boos from the home fans greeted the whistle.

Hope Gallagher is ok

On paper Rovers should have absolutely destroyed that Bohs team. You didn't and we were unlucky not to take the lead a couple of times prior to twiggy the piggy's goal. We deserved a point out of that, the pundits agreed and most neutrals agree. Mind your own delusion levels.

Hold on, I never disputed that. I'm well aware of the dedication that is needed and fairplay to those who made the journey.

The only point is that their numbers were short of the usually excellent crowds that they send down to United Park.

Harps absolutely coasting against a terrible Waterford. Sub Keeper Shaun Patton has yet to touch the ball.

**nigel-harps1954** · 31/03/2012, 3:35 PM

Waterford miss a penalty. Great save from 16 year old Shaun Patton who has been fabulous since coming on.

video of the penalty save.

Bohs worked very hard and were well organised but terrible going forward. 2-0 was a fair reflection of the game.

**nigel-harps1954** · 31/03/2012, 3:44 PM

All over, 2 hours and 20 minutes later, Finn Harps have beaten Waterford 2-0 to break the RSC duct.

**Mr A** · 31/03/2012, 3:48 PM

Damn. We'll probably get fined for that.

If you set out to play that defensively, you only deserve the point if you hold out to a 0-0 draw. As soon as you concede, you forfeit the deserved points.

Unlucky? No. Ye couldn't finish. Nothing to do with luck.
More to do with finances, or lack there of.

Similar to your lot a couple of weeks ago in United Park then! Last couple of years our club was at a very low ebb, and the crowds reflected that. Theres quite a buzz about this team now (United park was rocking last night you'll be glad to know :-) ) so if we dont start taking big crowds to Oriel again this season then I would start to worry

Thats a bit of a myth for me. Derry havent brought a big crowd to United Park for over 3 years now
