Mannus was terrible there. More of the same please!
it should have been a comfortable Derry lead at half time anyway!
Athlone equalise by the way

Aye, all over them. Ryan McBride has been tremendous at the back too.
There's been worse performances up there, the goal could be a good thing going forward..

Lads my broadband caused me an apoplectic fit of absolute fury and only just started working before we scored - how's the game been panning out? Deservedly leading then? Brief synopsis much appreciated.
Cork take the lead
UCD pull one back.

Chris Turner getting the boos from the Derry crowd. Hmmm. Why is that?
Brief synopsis much appreciated.
very one sided affari in the first half, Derry had 2 good chances that might have gotten goals (am watching on and off admittedly). Mannus made a howler and fumbled the ball into his own net from a free kick.
Chris Turner getting the boos from the Derry crowd. Hmmm. Why is that?
Is it cos he is black?
Bohs have hit the post 3 times in the last 5 minutes - all from Christy Fagan.

Brief synopsis much appreciated.Controlling the game, McBride and Graecen mopping everything up. A wee bit frantic in the first half, a lot of high balls and we've missed a few good chances. McLean has been better - looks like the scouts in the crowd might be affecting his game. Just after playing some lovely football there - we're a lot more composed since the goal.

Is he the racist Shamrock player then?

Since I've started watching we've played some lovely stuff.

Yeah, McClean has looked like he's over-doing it a bit; probably feeling under pressure. First-half was very frantic. Mannus won't have done himself any favours. Made an absolute mess of the free-kick. St. Johnstone manager is in the crowd keeping an eye on him and with all the talk of him reclaiming an international spot, it won't have helped.
Wow, what a double stop by Doherty. Great save(s).

Rovers pressing more now.
2-0 Bohs - Brennan penno after Downes was hauled down

Billy Dennehy free-kick excellently saved and knocked against the cross-bar by Doherty.
Predator

We're far too deep. Amazing save from the free by Doherty
Had Rovers played the first hour like the last half hour, the scoreline would most likely be different

St.Johnstone could be switching attention from Mannus to Doherty after this. Could be one in the eye for Worthington too - if he actually bothered to watch what happens in the Brandy.

It's easier to play like that when the opposition decides to plant ten men in their own half.

Ryan McBride rightfully man of the match.

And even then McClean has smashed two great chances wide and Mannus had to make a great save from another.

Doherty again. He's had an unbelievable game.

Certainly. Worthington now has a taste for poaching players who've played for the FAI.

It's fair to say we footballed better and for longer.

Interestingly, as Richard Sadliay pointed out, the referee had signalled an indirect free-kick. If Mannus hadn't bothered touching it and just let it go in, it wouldn't have counted.

Should the Derry goal go down as a Mannus own goal? The referee indicated an indirect free kick. If Mannus left it, the goal could not have counted. As the Mannus touch was the reason the goal was legitimate, surely it his own goal? I know it's not a goal he wants but them's the breaks.

I thought that when I saw it go in, because George and Rico made a big deal of it being indirect. Then I assumed it was their mistake...only makes it more comical.

2-1! Yusssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
Made things difficult for ourselves tonight because of awful finishing by the sounds of it, but if Wexford can hold on against Mons it'l be a good night for us.

Boh's only 4 points off the top. I wouldn't have expected that at this stage of the season after the turmoil of the winter. I hope their good form can carry over into Europe.

Derry have the makings of a quality team there. I think a few of the absentees will have a tough time getting back in the team if they keep playing like that.
If you'd told me after 70 minutes that we'd go away disappointed to only lose by a goal I'd have laughed at you. Rovers only turned up for the last 20 minutes when Derry started to tire (partly due to Finn and Turner getting their passing game going in midfield) and created a few really good chances. Doherty was an absolute behemoth - that performance should go down in LOI folklore, not for the volume of saves but for the quality of the 4 he had to make. Fully deserved win for Derry - worthy title contenders.
Really getting exciting now in the title race, Sligo to go top tomorrow at home to Drogheda and Pats have the chance to go top again on Sunday. Derry are looking well capable of mounting a serious challenge also.

7 points clear with a game in hand. Still think Harps can do it!

Great game. I was driving past the stadium around halftime and the wee hoods were standing at the bottom of the cemetery, so I await to hear if there has been any trouble. Going off topic but I was reading another forum earlier, and one Shams fan claims one of your buses had the engine stolen during a game at the Brandy about 10 years ago. Can anyone verify if such a thing happened or am I right assuming its just b*ll*x?

I can't believe you actually posted that. I assume you're from Derry, so do you not think you would have heard about it by now, IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!

Match in Tolka was one of the best games I've ever seen. Terrific, heart stopping stuff.
Ironic. The first Shels match I ever saw was against Waterford in Tolka and it ended 2-1 as well.
Harps will destroy Shels next week

It's happened a few times this season where Rovers have only picked it up when behind. Should really have got an equaliser in the end that one the first hour was never deserved. But Derry were pinned back when Rovers at last went for it with Turner, Kelly and O'Donnell pushing on. There's no reason why Rovers shouldn't have had that urgency and conviction right from the start.
