Don't know what i want from Derry v zbohs , I suppose a draw although a win for Derry is second best if we can the beat them next week.
Galway v Waterford result is a big one especially if sligo beat Cork.
Can Cork pull a result out to avoid certain relegation?? Doubt it
Season defining games for us coming up. Bohs in the Brandy tonight, Tallaght Sunday week.
Thankfully Rob Hennessey isn't involved tonight, so maybe we'll be ok.
Would happily be watching the match in Turners Cross, mind.
Whatever else about Dipo Akinyemi, he's fond of a speculative attempt at a lob.
I know its been said many times, but that pitch in the brandywell is brutal.
Firework on the pitch might improve it.
It looks bad there today, aye. Not good in the heat and dryness.
In fairness, ye'd never plan on it not raining in Derry.
The firework is disappointing. Noticed Maher wandering over to the bench whilst it was being sorted and the team had a wee confab. Is "firework on the pitch from outside the ground" the new "keeper going down with cramp?"
Brutal first half from us. Can’t blame the pitch this week. Lucky to only be one down.
Big goal at the end of the first half for Derry. In the end Diallo could have made it 2.
Bohs need to be much better to get anything out of the game. None of the little flicks are coming off, sure the pitch isn't helping, but there needs to be a plan b.
Plan B has worked!Quote:

Dundalk really dont do a relaxing eveing for their fans....
Rip cork
That Sligo goal was coming as soon as Cork hit the bar.
Some game on the box
Incredible drama for the neutral at the end of that Cork Sligo game. Sligo’s July signings proving crucial yet again. Cork dead and buried now you feel, their fans will have to settle for the 2026 First Division title, followed by a 2027 relegation and so on
Three reds for Kerry and a 3-0 win and three points for us
Will take that. Adam Brennan coming into his own lately. Who's that other Brennan chap?
Onwards to Dundalk next week!
Thank you Harps, ahead of playing a bit of a bogey side too.
I was just on my way to get a plank of wood,paint it and watch it dry when Derry scored. Second half Bohs were much better and deservedly scored. If they played like that in the first half they would have won it. Anyway a point on the road against a team around you is a good point. I will say the pitch is terrible.Quote:

I'd take a 1-1 draw in Derry any day of the week. Even more so when you come from behind to get it. Poor first half from Bohs but I love the resilience of this team. They fight for 90 minutes and that's all you can demand as a football fan. Kacper must be the best keeper in the league some good saves tonight that he made look fairly routine. I think long term the defence needs work for Bohs. Looking at goals we're one of the best defenses in the league but we have a few players prone to a brain fart or two in a game. Need another experienced CB in during the winter and at least 1 left back. If Dougie is out answer at striker we could make a good fist at a title run next year.
I for one, am looking forward to the promotion/relegation playoff. I think we'll give a good account of ourselves. Especially if Shaw is starting up front ...
Are they related ?!Quote:

What's the line again Derry lads? “They’re not even Derry fans, they weren’t even at the match. Nothing the club can do about it” etc eh?
Galway might just be about to pony out a purple one, looked like they had a likely squeeze for Europe earlier.
Last time Sligo Rovers came from 2 goals down away from home and won was 8th November 1981. We beat St Pats and Paul McGrath scored for Pats.
Obviously it’s a continuous thing up there but from reading between the lines on twitter some Bohs fans didn’t cover themselves in glory either…Quote:

Galway are going backwards. Had every side in trouble trying to cope with them and were briefly in a title race 2024, I thought they were leaving points behind on the road by being too conservative and could have been potential winners. This year for whatever reason, bit like Shels, they are not picking up consistant wins and turning losing games in to draws. Need to get back to basics. Stranger things have happened in play-offs and could be against a side that play in a similar way to Galway. Momentum is negative and Sligo is up so I think that will be how things continue.Quote:

Yeah, very depressing.Quote:

Fitlreworks metal Glass at the big Bohs crowd fired from outside, Brandywell 40 pounds away security powerless.
Feel sorry for Derry fans but Brandywell is unpoliceable without PSNI and with them iss riot a week.
All very sad in a great town.
Also , good point for Bohs.
Get my gist, in a pub in Derry.
The gap between Sligo and Cork (11 points) is getting close to nearly double Corks total points (15).
Same gap as Drogheda in 4th and Rovers in 1st.
The whole situation at Derry need reviewing , the Troubles are long over yet they still have a dispensation from the FAI regarding a PSNI presence at the Brandywell .
Theres issues at almost every game up there , earlier this season when Drogs played there was an issue with a Derry steward walking around the away section carrying a butchers knife. Pats and Rovers fans had missiles hurled at them from outside the stadium , the list is endless ….
