Great advert for the league. Bohs 1 up, Derry 1-1, Derry 1-2 , Bohs 2-2 , then they had three opportunities to clear the ball tried to play out and got caught, Derry 2-3, Bohs 3-3 got caught again trying to play out Derry 3-4, Bohs pushed hard, Maher several great saves, Derry had a man sent off. This game had it all

Buck mad game of football, nerves are shot after it. Massive win, which was achieved in spite of Rob Hennessey.
Thought we'd be done after the early penalty, same as the last time in Dalymount with the same ref. Both penalties were dodgy, but there's a pattern.
Cracking finish by Duffy for the equaliser.
Scramble in the box and a howler from Chorazka for the second. Not given by Hennessey, but the linesman.
We should have had a penalty for handball just before half time, right in front of Hennessey too.
Second half, we changed shape, and I don't think it helped up. Gaps started appearing and it was those gaps that allowed Bohs in for their second.
Back up the pitch, and immediately O'Reilly scores from some decent passing, and non-existent Bohs defending. Reynolds would be fuming at that one.
Three minutes later, Bohs back level from a free and a scramble.
Few minutes later, Dipo with a class header for our fourth. He had a brilliant game, and he can really get power off his head.
Soon after, Boyce makes a challenge, wins the ball, but Hennessey gives a second yellow and a red, same as the last time we were in Dalymount.
Would love to see the stats for the number of saves Maher made in those last 15 minutes. Incredible stuff, I'd give him MOTM, depsite conceding three goals. Bohs will be wondering, along with ourselves, how they didn't score.
Bonkers game, great ad for the League.
I've mentioned Hennessey before, and our big drop in win ratio when he's in charge. I cannot believe him to be biased, but I find myself challenged by his consistently poor decision making that negatively affects us. Baffled by it.
New stats for tonight, no referee has sent off more Derry City players than him. His rate of red cards against us is double our average. I don't know why.
We need full time refs in this league. Yes, we'll need to pay for it, but it'll be worth it.
