Ciarán Martyn puts Derry 1-0 up shortly into the second half. Well deserved by all accounts.

2-0. McCourt. Probably going to be needed as Forde's having another nightmare. Goal difference down to 6 in favour of Shels, I think, with every goal tonight counting double, effectively.

It's certainly breathed life into the race again - a defeat would've killed it tonight, and a draw would probably have seen it glide slowly in Shels favour over the weeks.
Just goes to show what might have happened had we not lost PJ in the Tolka game last month.....
Certainly adds spice to it all anyway. Can only be good for the game.

Fair play Derry. Now the team should go out for a well-earned celebration (preferably involving several days of a p!ss-up), then make sure not to get tripped up in the league run-in by getting too distracted by the Cup. Just a suggestion. :o
Well done Derry, delighted. Now do us all a favour and finish the job, deny Ollies evil empire the title.
Obviously very happy that the title race is still open (and we have the momentum!), but listening to it on the radio made me even more pi$$ed off that it wasn't on the TV. I don't think we'll haul in the goal difference, so realistically we still need shels to drop a few more points than we do. Hopefully they'll get beat down in the 'Cross!
Thanks again to RTE Radio 1, they put on a good show, just a shame its only radio.

I'm not being funny, but, I can't see Shels beating us at The Cross. We always struggle away to Derry, however. Think Shels will be lucky to get 4 points from Bohs, drogs and ourselves. Who said this run in wasn't exciting!
what was mccourts goal like?
We hit them on the break, Beckett played the ball down the left, McCourt drifted in and slid it under Williams. Good finish. Changed the game when he came on. Forde had one or two nervous moments but more than made up for it with a world class save. Great performance all round, great nite, pity i cant compliment a few Shels fans who decided they wud try and start trouble. But as usual our well trained stewards dealt with it!!
CTID!!!
Edit: Just a note on the ref, he was very fair tonite. People may say its cause Derry won i say this but i thought he handled the game well. Well Done!!

Looking at the games left going to be very close. I think Shels have the slightly harder run in but this could come down to goal difference in the end its that close. Sligo away will be tough for Shels this weekend, they have to bounce back quick. Here's hoping Kenny can prove me wrong, I will be a happy man.
was he a dublin ref?

No Sligo away for Shels this weekend - they've got City in the Cup.

Great win for us tonight. We battered Shels tonight and no one can argue with the result...Our two wingers McGlynn and in 2nd half McCourt when he came on had O'Halloran and Rogers on toast...Should be an exciting finish now to the league for everyone involved, as i can see it go to the last game now.

Well exciting stuff awaits. Heery is apparently out for the rest of the season, so it will be interesting to see if Shels can recover from this setback and last night's result.

Is he not the ref who took charge of the League Cup Final this year?

Now thats a suprise, Derry won and the ref was great.
I think there is a pattern forming here. Im not sure but I think its
along the lines of when Derry win the ref is fair and when they lose/ draw
the ref is terrible. Interesting.

There's still the whole McGuinness suspension issue hanging around. With the league so tight this could yet be a deciding factor.

I think you'll find its more a case of when Derry gets players sent off for what are perceived as dubious circumstances, or the ref makes patently ridiculous decisions, the ref gets criticised - regardless of whether we lose (which, to be fair, hasn't exactly happened a lot this season).
No real complaints on the ref in games where we've lost and this didn't happen (e.g. Glentoran, PSG). Big complaints on games like, for example, Linfield away where the ref did things like give Linfield a free kick when it was one of their own men that clearly clattered their own goalkeeper.
Still - nice theory.

"Hired goons".... :rolleyes: Well if only the goons that Shels employ could be in some way organised then you might be able to prevent the by-now traditonal pitch invasions after every game in Tolka.
As for City stewards being hired goons - I've heard criticism of stewards from other clubs on a number of occassions (mostly yours and Longford, I might add) but rarely any credible criticism of ours. Maybe that's why the FAI rates them very highly, and has asked them to run training for other clubs, to work at international games etc.
Anyways - let's not have your views on stewards deflect from the fact that the schooligan Bebo-massiff at Shels tried to cause trouble at yet another game. Only this time they were easily prevented by organised stewarding. You know - of the sort that is painfully lacking in Tolka...

Shelbourne want the game replayed or to be given the points for last night.
Ollie is using rule 69er, that Derry should have at least one man sent off per game and must not finish a game with a goalkeeper on the pitch.
But on a serious note, when do Shelbourne get the 3 points from the game they didn't win against Bohs??
And as for the Shelbourne fans last night, i was in block B beside them and it was much ado about nothing. A few kids acting the ****.

Dead right pointing is nearlyas serious as making a gun with your hand and then pointing it, all very well until someone gets poked in the eye.

I have to agree here, always found the Stewards in the Brandywell easy to deal with & have never had any hassle from them, they've even protected our flags on occasion when young City fans had a go at damaging them, easily admit they look after us very fairly. Derry, Galway & Cobh easily the best i've encountered in the last few seasons.

Not always only recently. Years back they used to have fans with bibs who were clueless and were not afraid to start trouble but in fairness now they are competent.
Fair play to Derry. Keeps the league interesting and if they win it and we win friday we're in Europe:D

Raheny Red - I suggest you have a look on your club's own forum for numerous posts form Shels fans describing exactly what was happening and saying that it needs to stop :

i meant they all steward in lansdowne
a lot of club stewards would be event controllers in the various stands on international days - co ordinating the security - i know the pats guy certainly has a hand in running things on the east stand
the volunteer stewards were even doing security for Leinster rugby at lansdowne

RTE showed the goals and a few chances from last night's game on the 1 o'clock news this afternoon. You should be able to view it on the RTE website later today.
Raheny Red: Do you think lighting three flares is above the rules. No it isnt, its not allowed, hence the reason they were ejected from the ground. Do you call having your car scratched "SHELS" on it acceptable? I dont!! You lot need to accept that there are sections there hellbent on ruining the night. As for our stewards, they dealt with the situation well. If they want to act animals, they shud be treated like animals.

It was relevant to the potential outcome of the game when I posted it. Don't see why it shouldn't get mentioned. I was listening on the radio and RTÉ singled him out a number of times. Not my fault if it happens every time. You may as well complain that I noted that Derry's lead was well deserved - same principle.

And point it out you may. He's had a bit of a nightmare this season. However, he produced a few quality saves over the season to keep us in as well. It balances itself out in the end. He'll come good with his kicking and distribution (hopefully)!

Yep and looking at the highlights on Sports Tonight earlier he nearly cost Derry two goals.

You didnt mention it but i'm bringing it up. You seem determined to defend the scumbags who started the **** on tuesday nite, wot ur trying defend i dont know, there is nothin to defend. our stewards shud have dealt with the falres bit and thats their fault, dosnt make them the worst stewards or lazy cnuts!!
Is this the same RahenyRed who came onto the Bohs Message Board to lecture and preach to us about our Bebo schooligan problem?? You've some fúcking cheek and you've just shown yourself up to be a total and utter hypocrite. It's about time Shels got their heads out of the clouds and admitted they've a schoolie problem, at least we at Bohs have woken up to realise and have acknowledge the fact that we have a problem and are taking measures to bring it under control. Your own club would be doing well to take a leaf out of our book.
