Derry 0-1 UCD

[pineapple stu]

Crowds seems to be up- average is around 900 at the moment, compared to 500 or 600 previous years.

You've a game against Rovers in there though, which had a large crowd, so you can't compare the two figures.

Cork was up about 200 on last year, Waterford was up about the same ('cos it wasn't clashing with the World Cup) and Bray was down about 100.

[Poor Student]

The Sun (was down the barbers...) gave Sammon man of the match and Bermingham 7, the best of the defenders. For what that's worth.

They gave Ally Mac and Kenna only a 6 then? I wouldn't give much consideration to those ratings.

If that game had been on the Friday against Bray you would have had a decent crowd.

Well, a better one anyways. Bray don't really bring much of an away support anyway, but obviously having it on our regular day would have increased the crowd a nice bit. Sillyto have had to go and change it, but it's done now.

[Poor Student]

Oh no, I just checked the fixture list. For some bizarre reason we play Derry at home again on the 25th of May. Let's hope Fenlon can hang on that long.

That's 4 league games away. We could be caught out with Derry on the bounce from his sacking.

[pineapple stu]

Cool - didn't realise the link.

I think it's more likely he'll still be lurching towards the inevitable, and we can do the double over them.

[Poor Student]

What's goingn on though, how can we be facing them so soon again?

Basically the first series fixtures were reversed for the second series, except it begins from the 8th game of the first series, going backwards, presumably so teams wouldn't be playing the teams the will be playing 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th too soon.

That's the 2nd half of eL weekly courtesy of Raheny Red. We're at the very start of the file. I have it paused on the offside decision and I honestly can't say, it was close enough and well taken by Sammon. Purcell actually tapped in Sammo's saved shot.

I'm not fan of Dermot Keeley but fair play to him he gave us credit for the win rather than focusing on Derry. As usual Welch couldn't give a toss about us and his Cork bias came through in his UCC Freudian slip.

[I have it paused on the offside decision and I honestly can't say

Yeah, I didn't think it was offside on the telly last night but it looks a lot tighter having replayed it a couple of times on that.

[pineapple stu]

In fairness though, the flag went up immediately, and PJ didn't make an attempt to save, so you can't say whether Sammon would have scored or not had he been onside. Especially not given his record in one-on-ones!

Alan McNally and Paul Byrne were named in the eleven-a-side team of the week.
