LOI Fixtures 16th - 19th October 2015

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Sickened after that. Cork went two up very much against the run of play. After that we huffed and puffed but they kept us at arms length fairly comfortably. Lots of possession but never really looked like breaking them down. Ten defeats for the season now. Very poor for a team that were champions two years ago. How quickly things can change.

Look at the team who were champions 3 years ago......

Fair point - it could be worse (Hopefully we won't fall that far next year.) Dundalk be warned :p

Actually, it's one of the best things about this league, the good times get shared around a bit more than in other leagues. It's of limited consolation when you're the one slipping down the table though.

Hope McEleney is ok, it looked very serious when he went off.
Just to update on this, Derry Journal reporting that he eventually went home on the team bus with the rest of them - it was something related to his case of shingles, but not a heart attack or a punctured lung as first rumoured/reported.

It was scary watching it at the time, as he was absolutely motionless and there was concern with both physios on and people running round looking for the doctor.

Apparently shouldn't have even been playing in the first place. Awfully stupid of the Derry coaching staff and medical team to let him play with the risk of such a thing happening.

If he had shingles he shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the opposition players. Bizarre.

3 points for us on appeal?

Pretty sure Freddy Hall had developed a case of shingles by the time the goals went in.

Had a look at each teams run in, and here's how I see Premier Division finish:

Bottom 6 final games:

Derry: Lim (L), Bohs (D), Longford (D) - 1 point
Bray: Sham R (L), Galway (W), Dundalk (L) - 3 pts
Galway: Bray (L), Pat's (L) - 0 pts
Sligo: Bohs (D), Pats (L), Lim (L) - 1 pt
Drogheda: Longford (D), Sham R (L) - 1 pt
Limerick: Derry (W), Sham R (D), Sligo (W) - 7 pts

That'd finish:

Derry - 34 pts
Bray - 34 pts
Limerick - 33 pts
Galway - 30 pts
Sligo - 29 pts
Drogheda - 29 pts

Don't give up the day job :D (that ones for you Charlie D)

You were really waiting on that one weren't you. Congratulations.
