Currently Pats 1-1 Harps.
Great free kick from Killian Brennan and a well taken equaliser for Harps (Mailey). Overall Harps have played quite well in spells.

Good free, terrible goalkeeping, Winn's reactions are shocking altogether! I remember Nigel complaining about this months ago, I guess he was right!

Defending pretty poor for all goals, especially the set pieces. I'm not sure about Winn's positioning for Brennan's free-kick. Can't really see a way back for Harps here.

More crazy goalkeeping for the fourth, and there's a fifth for Pat's now.

Winn and Harps defence are absolutely brutal. Pat's are blessed to have got such an easy semi-final draw.

Harps have fallen apart since the 2nd goal. It's a rout now. Pat's have played some nice stuff second half.

Horgan is a nutjob it's no wonder Harps have such a shocking disciplinary record.

Ref is a clown that was never a red card

That one there should have been two reds it was that bad.

How was the first tackle a red & that tackle was only a yellow.

Seems like Harps had more fans in Richmond than Derry do in Tallaght. Looks a poor crowd.

They were both reds. He only got the second one wrong.

Even enough game. Madden is really getting the better of Jarvis down Rovers' right. The two best chances have fallen to Derry early on, mind. Duffy might have done better, especially for the first, although Murphy pulled off a great save, to be fair.

Thought Duffy should have passed it out to his right, man was free would have been a simple tap in. Great Save though

Bah! Poor kick-out from Doherty, a missed interception from Barry and then through McBride's legs before being parried into the net by Doherty. Terrible.

Yes! Patterson equalises with a deft header. Hadn't seen that coming.

How many goals are Shams going to concede by not defending the far post at corners? Fenlon needs to cop on.
White Horse
05/10/2014, 4:47 PM
Derry should have scored a second there.
DannyInvincible
05/10/2014, 4:48 PM
What a chance! Really should have scored there to win the tie, but great closing down and save from Murphy again.
BonnieShels
05/10/2014, 4:48 PM
That was poor. Should be 2-1 up now.

It's a joke that they don't show the replay on TV... in what other country would a cup semi final be shown but not the replay!?

Good result (and probably a fair one overall) to take it back to the Brandywell on Tuesday. Are RTÉ definitely not broadcasting it? What a joke.

Kick off is down for 7.45pm, it'd almost certainly be brought forward if they were showing it. No mention of showing it either.
It stinks of tokenism in showing today's games. But hey.. we knew that anyway. Still grates though.

A one-day break is a bit ridiculous as well, especially considering the three-and-a-half hour journey for both clubs.

They haven't shown then replays in previous years.

Not sure about that as we're handy enough at winning replays away from home

They used to show the replays. Pat's 4-3 Bohs in 2003, for one.

Of course they're not showing it. They shouldn't have been let move to the games to Sunday in the first place, knowing the replay could only be played on Tuesday. FAI and RTE not giving a **** about the teams as usual.
Tight game and interesting in its own way, but the quality of football was pretty poor. Both teams were happy enough with the draw in the end. Rovers were **** scared once Deano scored - they didn't have the bottle to seize the game and stop Derry getting back into it. Funnily enough, we're probably better suited to playing away.

Good point, Rovers rarely look dangerous when dominating possession. However, they are very clever on the break. I think Derry have the advantage but would not be surprised if Rovers go through. Pity it is not on TV, the replay will be a more interesting tie.

Tonight, you witnessed one of this season's Rovers specials - the free kick 30 yards from the opposition goal that manages to get passed back to the goalkeeper or across the back four. We have some very tidy players who will pass the ball around for ages, but they don't get anywhere near the goal. Rovers will do better when Derry are forced to actually play a positive game in front of their own fans. Apparently we're not worthy of a positive performance but every other club's fans are.

We were never realistically going to get much out of that game, but what's most disappointing is our defensive performance. We've been very good at the back all season, and today we were very poor. Conor Winn is an absolutely awful goalkeeper, and I've been saying it all season indeed Acornvilla.
Packie Mailey scored a good header which gave us something to celebrate at least.
Good atmosphere at the game though, an enjoyable day out despite the result. We don't get many big days out as Harps fans anymore.

Harps brought a great travelling support to Richmond today. There hasn't been many bigger away attendances there this season.

Pats are a super side, Fahey, Brennan, Fagan, Forrester, Fagan, the list is endless. Our entire playing budget wouldn't even pay for Fahey each week so, we weren't travelling in any real belief more than hope.
Disappointed in the goals conceded. Also, at 1-1 we had a stone wall pen turned down and possibly a straight red for Browne which could have been a game changer but at the end of the day, Pats had way too much class and pace for us.
Great atmosphere, really enjoyed that part of today.
Hope the Pats lad is ok after the shocker tackle by McCarron.
Best of luck to Pats in the final.

That makes it alright?
They used to show the replays. Pat's 4-3 Bohs in 2003, for one.
I didn't say it was alright. I'm just pointing out that looking for hints at kick off times isn't going to be much help
It's a ridiculous situation where Sf replays aren't shown

Watch most of both games on tv. I do not remember either keeper in the 2nd game rolling the ball out once, which I suppose is what is expected from a Fenlon managed team. It will be difficult to get fans out to watch such negative stuff, even if the team are winning most of the time, ask Bohs.
Fair play to Liam Buckley for always getting his teams to play with a bit of style and to the Harps fans who supported their team. We need a one division league soon or more damage is done to soccer here. Ref in the second game was good (he usually is) but the one in Inchicore and the famous Connolly as 4th official showed again one the major problems the league faces. Crowds again disappointing, but the weather had a lot to do with this.
Think Shamrock Rovers still will make the final, maybe on penalties. Two day turn-around is unbelievable.

Around 600 in the end.

There hasn't been as big a Harps away following in a fair few years for a trip further than Derry, Monaghan or Sligo. It was great to feel like a big club for one day.

Harps fans were brilliant, a big crowd that never stopped signing, it looked like Winn was on the take but judging by other comments he's been that bad all season.
After their goal I felt Harps didn't make the most out of the set pieces they had, easily the biggest side I've seen this season.
Job done for us, bring on the final and hopefully Derry in it.

Anybody who ever talks about how Rovers were mad to run out Stephen Kenny, he gave Conor Winn a two year professional contract. And then signed two more crap goalkeepers when he realised he was ****. Obviously he's a very talented coach, but ****ing hell, he put an awful lot of spoofers into some very good money.

Is it not accepted at this point that Rovers were right to get rid of Kenny?
They have gone from strength to strength, lit up the league with beautiful football, and haven't signed a single duff player since.
Bizarrely Kenny also signed Winn for Dundalk as third choice keeper, thankfully he got nowhere near the pitch. Wasn't he usually the man between the sticks when Galway conceded 100+ in 2011?

It is,......... but Its because of Kenny and the hangover from his reign that they have become medixocre and horrible to watch.

He was their keeper when they lost 6-1 to Pats in 2011 anyway. Don't think there's many keepers how have conceded 6 twice to Pats
