3-0

Scullion bags his first for Derry.

:)

[The Lilywhites]

UCD 0-1 Fingal too.

[pineapple stu]

Galling defeat for us. Fingal simply weren't interested. We gifted them their goal, passing straight to their only decent player (Conan Byrne) 20 yards out with no-one near him. Horrific error. In the second half, we hit the bar and had two off the line. McFaul should have walked in the first for what seemed a professional foul followed by (which I missed) a deliberate handball as well. You'd have to imagine that, over the course of a season, those performances will cost FIngal too many points to win the title, possibly even a play off spot.

Have been saying for a while that missed chances will cost us silly points. This was an easy win if we wanted it; instead, we're now three games without a goal, and possibly three points adrift come Saturday. Suddenly Monaghan away next week looks decidedly tricky.

[eamo1]

Yes Derry were the better team tonight but at 1-0 and we had a chance and then he goes and gives a DISGRACFULL penatly decison and costs us the game:mad:.HES A BRUTAL REF.For the record Derry goal was dissallowed because Clive Delaney was trying to exchange shirts with Seamus Conneely when the cross was coming in.
The peno was at first BALL TO HAND and secondly IT WAS OUTSIDE THE FU**ING BOX:mad:.Only one Derry player appealed for the peno and even that was half hearted.Kenny was laughing when it was given.I know because i was in the stand behind their dugout.
Derry are a good side and would have probably won anyway but KELLY was Derry's MOTM.For every Studs up tackle by the Derry centre midfielder he would turn a blind eye.For every piece of time wasting,the same.For every push by Clive Delaney,again the same blindness.
RANT OVER!!!

[TheBoss]

Derry fans feel the refs have been against them recently, obviously not tonight :D

[GalwayRed]

The penalty looked a bit dodgy alright. Thought it was outside the box. Having said that Derry were by far the better team and deserved the win. It wasnt the refs fault that Galway played poorly.

[Rovers fan]

I'm not trying to stir, but I think Galway might struggle a bit now. They looked very poor against us. The same goes for Bray. Not sure if we can take advantage, hopefully we don't pick up too many injuries. I wouldn't write of Drogheda just yet, they are in with a chance, especially if they can bring in a couple of players during the transfer window.

[MariborKev]

eamo1,

As GalwayRed has said, we were far superior in most areas of the pitch.

As for tackles, a few of the Galway players were lucky not to receive more than yellows. What is the story with Terryland, it is like beach with the amount of sand and exceedingly bobbly.

[Patrick Dunne]

Terryland is by far the most used pitch in the league - two senior teams and at least one junior or juvenile match every week.

I think you will find Terryland to be one of the best surfaces in Ireland, and considering two league teams and loads of district league and junior games are played there it is a credit to Galway soccer

I think YOU'LL find that that's not how he found it;)

[MyTown]

Well done to Derry - They deserved their win.

Garry Breen's red card in the League Cup coupled with Sean Kelly's injury are really costing us now imo.

I don't know how many players from Derry had the game stopped requiring attention - but it was a veritable epidemic - the decision to give Liam Kearney 30 seconds of action in the second half was curious to say the least. Best wishes to the injured Derry lad (Molloy? Martyn?) who was taken away by ambulance having only come on as a sub.

For the second game in a row the awarding rather than the concession of a penalty has turned the game decisively against us.

But that's football.

[eamo1]

We were poor.I did say Derry were probably going to win.Im just saying the all important second goal from the peno killed the game for us.A team always has a chance just a goal down but getting that peno was a huge favour for them.
Funny that the Derry players started going down like flies AFTER they went 1-0 up;).
Im just rising ye lads,Derry were good,we were poor,simple as.

[Schumi]

McFaul should have walked in the first for what seemed a professional foul followed by (which I missed) a deliberate handball as well.

Was there a foul before the handball? I assumed it was the handball that he was booked for, that's what I was shouting about anyway. :)

Poor game, our passing was bad and we didn't hold onto the ball at all but we still should have got a draw out of it.

[Derry]

Derry went 1 up in the 1st half, and continued to attack for the rest of the game, Why would they time waist when they were playing Galway off the pitch. As for players going down, and you single out Kearney. Kearney was eventually taken of, and Molloy was carried off. Feigning injury my ass, the two of them were taken to hospital for x-rays. There it was seen that Kearney's ankle was broken, and Molloy's was even worse with severe ligament damage. Both are now out for two months.

As for the penalty, the player jumped to block the ball with his hands in the air above his head. His hands blocked the ball, penalty, end of story.

Is that confirmed? Bad news.

In fairness to the Galway fan Kearney is well known for falling over very easily!

[Mr Maroon]

It was definitely hand ball but it was NOT in the box. End of story.

Not sure; the pole was in the way for me. I thought McFaul was just all over Killer (I think?) and pulled him back. Then at half time, I heard people talking about the handball, so I assumed that was there as well. Maybe it was only a handball.

[Candystripe]

Sounds like it's true.

I heard bad ligament damage to Molloy's ankle and Kearneys ankle is broken.

[MyTown]

Sadly, & it happens a lot here, you took me up wrongly.

It was obvious from before the first goal that Liam Kearney was in bother. I singled him out only to highlight the failure of your dug out to withdraw him in time. He'd had several visits from the trainer before half time. Yet you still put him out to play the second half, only to withdraw him within a minute. I'm sorry for him facing a long lay off, but questions about whether or not the injury was agrravated by failing to withdraw him early are over to you.

Nowhere did I infer time wasting either. Derry were better all over the park & McCallions introduction definitely worked in your favour, but your boys spent far more time looking for and receiving attention than any other side I've seen home and away for a very long time.

[adamd164]

Expecting around 6000 for tonight's game, weather is holding off so that's a plus. Sunshine forecast for evening.

[SunnySweeney]

why is there an international match clashing directly with the domestic league programme? (apologies if this topic has been covered before)

[adamd164]

Because the FAI don't take the league seriously themselves.

[Candystripe]

Update; Liam Kearney has a broken leg/broken tibia!!!! Barry Molloy has ankle ligament damage,Higgins has a swollen/twisted knee,Grey has damaged his hip and finally Ciaran Martyn has a dead leg!

Thats is four midfielders in one game!They are blaming the sandy pitch I hear.

[MariborKev]

Naw they aren't

SK was asked about it, he said there was a lot of sand on it but is was just coincidence.

I thought he said "maybe it was just a coincidence"?

I was driving through crazy traffic at the time so as usual I'll give you this one. :D

Wow, and I thought Pats had bad luck with those 2 broken legs in the one game earlier this season. I think we have a new winner here.

[Réiteoir]

RTE can't be arsed to run a radio show each Friday night consisting of various commentators giving updates via the free WIFI hotspots in League stadia or via Mobile Phone - citing "finance problems" as the sole reason to cut the coverage of the domestic League.

But they magically spring into action to give live coverage of a meaningless friendly at the end of the season played by the National Team at home IN LONDON.

The mind well and truly runs riot

i blame the anti-Derry ref...! :p

seriously though, bad luck to Keanrey/Molloy. I wish them a slow but successful recovery.

If all those injuries had happened on our pitch we would never hear the end of it.

[sligofan4ever]

1-0 Rovers, Alan Keane screamer on the stroke of half-time. For a right back, he has a good strike rate! 4 goals in 5 games I think in all competitions.
