No ratings today. Ratings seem irrelevant after a game like that, as does football itself. Like an unusually bad First Division game. The eL should add another relegation spot, just to make sure Derry go down if we do finish bottom.

It was one of those frustrating matches where you just wanted to race onto the pitch and start throwing tackles in, just to get people going. No real shape to the team. It's hard even to find a relevant criticism to level at the manager or players. Let's just hope it was a one-off, because on our form so far this season we're more than capable of staying up.

Left Tolka last night feeling as if I'd been kicked in the stomach.
Don't feel all that much better now either to be honest...
Terrible performance, particularly second half.
We've really made things difficult for us now. I know there's still 30 odd games left to play, but we already have shot ourselves in the foot.
Dreading the Drogheda game now, if last nights performance is an idea of how we play when we know we need to win.

As an aside I hope Ray Scully isn't too badly hurt, he looked banjaxed going off. And I thought Philly Hughes was one of the few lively players we had, great work rate.
Our "finishing"...oh I won't even start...

We need to stay positive. ( i was very negitive on Tuesday!!!!). We need to get behind the team. Its up to everyone involved in the club to rally around.

Even I'll join in, and you all know how reserved I am. If we can get Toccy back, get Brennan raiding down the left and if Gary O'Neill puts in the same kind of performance he did against Pat's and Shels, we can do them.

COME ON THE VIKINGS!

I'll be there on Thursday. But I imagine it'll be a minor miracle for me to convice anyone else to come and watch us at this point.
So far my bro is the only person who's had the fortitude to come back (hasn't missed a home game yet actually).
Everyone else I've brought hasn't really had much value for money to be fair.
Pretty dire games, no goals and defeats kinda sums up what we've been producing (bar St Pats game)
As much as I'm trying to look on the bright side I think we need some tangible results to get the spirits up again.
Lets hope Thursday is the start of it.

Our performances are being compounded by the wins our rivals for relegation. Hopefully some of them will hit a bad patch & we’ll hit a good one.

Come on "Super Saints" and "Rebel Army" are almost as bad as that.

Vikings is really just a convenient secondary reference for match reports and the like. I just shout "City" at the games
