FAO: RTÉ Moaners - Derry City v Cork City Friday 19/08

[Sheridan]

Shocking stuff. Like a throwback to the mid-nineties, in that Mark Rutherford and Tony Sheridan (during a thirty-minute cameo) were the best players on the pitch. Filth had most of the possession, Pat's created the only chance worthy of the description (Armstrong prodded over from six yards.)

The TG4 presenter was a clueless, patronising muppet who should never be allowed near an eL fixture again. :mad:

Did you watch it all Hamish? How was the game? It had 0-0 borefest written all over it before it kicked off in my opinion. Can't figure out what possessed them to show it.

Poor game PS. Pats missed a sitter in the first half and that's about all I can remember TBH.

Main stand was about half full at best with a scattering of fans in the end stand. Rest of ground empty.

To think that around 25,000 watched those two clubs when The Hoops played their first game in the RDS back in the early 90s was it? :(

Any examples for us to highlight this? As bearla le do thoil for those of us more than rusty in our Irish. :o

Shame on you Pete :D . RTE have gone so far as to cover a Derry City v Cork game from the Brandywell before. I think Pat Morley scored for you lot on that occasion, was an awful game.

Derry have a tendency to play poorly when the cameras are in the Brandywell so lets hope for a good, open game of football

And there was the fai cup semi last year

[Sheridan]

He expressed his "brón" for Trevor Molloy, reduced to playing at this level having once shared a field with Damien Duff and Robbie Keane (if he meant playing for Shams, that would be far enough, but he was plainly alluding to the eL in general.) :rolleyes: :mad:

The questions he posed to the respective managers were mind-bogglingly inane, even by the standards of football journalism, and caused one to wonder whether he'd actually watched the game.

Somehow you wouldn't expect to hear these sentiments expressed as Gaeilge. :rolleyes:

[De Town]

God it was shocking. Alan Matthews' defensive tactics are more exciting than that match :eek: :o

True, "daoine gan teach" just doesn't trip off the tongue. As for trying to make up chants that rhyme in Irish... ;)

[BohsFans]

They broadcast the cup semi between Derry and Waterford live last year.

Also, wasn't the first-ever eL fixture broadcast live on TV staged at the Brandywell in 1997? Derry were certainly involved, they beat Shels (?) 1-0 with a stooping header (Hutton?)


Ages ago, Derry beat us 1-0 on a Saturday afternoon, peno I think??
