Pats have one of the biggest wage bills ever in the league, and yet you all 'knew' you wouldn't win the league, and you all 'know' you won't win a cup. Must be very exciting being a Pats fan. What do Pats fans who back horses do? Walk straight up to the counter, hand in the money and forget about the actual bet as you 'know' it won't win?

We don't even have the biggest this year (the biggest will win the league BTW). Look for the predictions thread at the start of this year. Pats fans were the only fans tipping us for top 3. Everyone else had us in lower mid table, yet all of a sudden we're being painted as failures for being third in the league

And the cup thing is tongue in cheek. Everyone knows our record

Its all a bit rich when Brian Kerr had a dig at the league while he was manager of Ireland over the amount of money paid to players.

Someone was telling me on way out of ground that Buttimer was suspended a while ago for doing the same thing he done last night, booking someone twice and not sending them offI know some ref done that with us against Shels in the cup replay at Tolka Park a few years back. Gareth Gorman got 2 yellows yet played the whole match[extra time included]. Can't remember if it was Buttimer or not though.

He got his second yellow in the last minute of extra time.

Longford through 2-0.

Derry still 1-0 up.

[pineapple stu]

Derry through now.

[niallsparky]

Derry through now.

Good game?

[pineapple stu]

No idea. :confused:

[dancinpants]

Good game?

Sounded like it on the radio. Fairly even overall with plenty of chances for both sides. Sounded like the ref awful (no surprise there). Terrible playing conditions too.

[dcfcsteve]

So who does that give us in the quarters then :

- Derry
- Longford
- Cork
- UCD
- Pats
- Douglas Hall/Limerick
- Waterford/Sligo
- ?????

From that list, you'd have to fancy a Cork v Pats final - depending on what draws they get obviously. City's progress will depend totally on the draws we get.

[pineapple stu]

Bohs/Malahide you're missing.

Limerick/Douglas Hall looks like the draw to get. Not a huge amount between the rest. Assuming Sligo and Bohs win, then you've got teams 3 to 7 in the Premier and the bottom one. Even then, the two bottom teams out of that (Longford and UCD) have a good Cup record in recent years and will be tough to beat in a one off game.

Awful match. Derry sat back and hoofed the ball. McCourt caused some problems in the first half, apart from that, the team created nothing of note. Harps played the only football, created nothing. The ref was quite good. Conditions were bad.

[Red&White]

The second-best team on the pitch went out tonight. We had an ok first half, and an absolutely horrendous second half, which is to take nothing away from Harps who played very well throughout despite the awful weather conditions. They passed and moved better than most teams I've seen at the Brandy this year, certainly a level above Longford last week. That said, they could have played all night and wouldn't have got a goal such was their lack of clear chances. We didn't look like we were at the races at all and had an equaliser been scored there would have been no complaints whatsoever. Obviously pleased we're through but for what it's worth the moral victory went south of the border tonight. Harps looked every bit as confident and hungry as we've been led to believe in recent weeks and I'd have no problem betting on them taking their place in the Premier come next March.

Are you sure you were at the same match? We could have had 4 in the first half, Paddy with 2 excellent crosses low into the box that we should have finished, Hargy had a superb effort saved. Granted 2nd half we were poor but Harps although playing some good football didnt really threaten. To say we were awful and hoofed all night is a load of ********!!

[cheifo]

McCourt had a wonderful first half.We(Harps) couldnt stop him so tried to cut of supply.Conditions were terrible so it would be harsh on both teams to deny it was decent stuff.Harps were very good till we got to the last third where we needed a bit more craft.Oman was excellant for Derry and they just about deserved it.I have really enjoyed the media coverage/build up and banter that precedes a NW Derby.I let the Derry boys tell you about their prematch display themselves.You had to see it to believe it.
We have to concentrate on promotion now and hopefully this wont damage our momentum.

Here's a bit of unedited footage of the atmosphere in the Derry end.

Let's hope Harps get promoted this season, so we can look forward to more such big nights for both clubs in future.

That's about as accurate a post match report as you are possibly going to get. An horrific mornings viewing.

[Dalymountrower]

He`s still clearly unfit, but showed enough to confirm his reputation. Good strength , excellent ball control. Connors was crazy to play him,probably wanted something to focus ( divert attention) on in his post match interview.

[CharlesThompson]

How did Turner do when he came on Charles ?

He was as good as anybody else was out there. It was a pretty unforgiving type of match. Malahide got a lot of bodies behind the ball, got away with a lot of niggley little stuff should have had at least one peno awarded against them in the first half.

Bohs generally looked completely disinterested. Have to say that based on that it's hard to make any kind of judgement on the lad, but if I had to I'd be positive.

Dont worry, both teams will be fined for something:mad:
