Where was Derry City's Interview area after the game against Cork? Poor old Pat Dolan had to be interviewed in the rain.

Can the League have it's UEFA License back?

there's a thread over on the Derry board saying Dolan was crying when he was applauding the Derry fans actually. They seem to love him :)

Big Pat was indeed on the verge of tears as the derry faithfil sang "one pat dolan". he helped us when we were in financial difficulty and has always had a good word for derry. He is also manager of Cork city the "REBEL army" we'll never forget Corks loyalty over the years up here

He must be into investing in small unsuccessful businesses....strange one.

As for big Pat.......a hero to Derry fans since his speech in the middle of the Brandywell during our winding up order...he also gave a donation.
Not to mention his promotion of the EL through the years.

It's only a B requirement at the moment - recmomended best practice but not required for the A licence.

Fair play Derry fans.
Nice to hear some positive comments about the Rebel Army and Pat Dolan from rival supporters, it makes a change from the usual obsessed jealous anti-Cork City attitude that a lot of other teams fans seem to have.

I must say we had a very enjoyable (but brief) time in Derry on Saturday and there's talk of a bus load of us coming up in August and staying overnight. It made a nice change from having to go to Dublin anyway!

Yep, love Cork myself, its a damn long Journey but if you invest in an overnight its well worth it.....most of us have made a night of it down there for a few years now.

Agree on Dublin......damn sick of the place now. I dont even do overnights there anymore,...couldnt be arsed.
