Tough one for us tonight against bohs.. they have always proved a tough nut to crack which is very frustrating and expect tonight to be no different.. need to perform better than last time out against them.. think we will get through tonight but will be very close, one thing we don't need is a replay
I have just noticed that they refer to us as Finns Harps. Such a grievous must not be allowed to stand.Quote:

Could be worse, we were called Dundalk Utd on two league programs over past couple of seasons.
A lot of Derry fans being quite dismissive of our match with Malahide tonight. 4,5,6-0 wins being mentioned.
Very short memories......Derry City 0-0 Bluebell United
I reckon it'll be at least seven to Derry ;)Quote:

They're still called SD Galway by a few media sources. I think Aertel still do.
1-0 here in oriel, McDermott
2-0 dfc
2-1 now
City 2-2 Bohs, absolutely got out of jail, De Boez had enough chances to win by at least three goals.
3-0 Rovers in Tallaght. Town put it up to them for long spells but Rovers were just more clinical. Cracking strike from McCabe as well. Large and loud Town crowd there. Next week is far more important for us. Glad to hear Shels have another tough game during the week now too.
Massive Garda presence coming down the quays at shipping "our boys" from Inchicore.
Joys of our scum.
Ah, that might explain why there were two Gards in the whole of Tallaght. There was overtime to be had elsewhere so there was no need swamp Whitestown Way with more cops than travelling fans. I assume they'll all be back up for the Sligo game for some more hard-earned overtime.Quote:

Longford play some nice football but once they went with two up front they struggled to hang onto the ball long enough to create anything. Soccy is a terrific player once he's bothered - was my choice for man of the match until he got sent off, which looked like a bit of con from where I was standing.
Cowan was particularly wasteful. His sheer pace will get him into great positions but his end product is terrible. Then again he was always better up front, don't know why Cousins has never played him up with O'Sullivan. Sending off was maybe a little harsh but he definitely clipped Jamie Mulhall when he flicked it past him, that was right in front of us. He looked like he would have caught the ball so no real reason to go down I thought. O'Connor celebrating his goal in front of the Town fans was a bit unnecessary but I don't think anyone was too riled up about it.
Waterford Utd on an off night, so took myself off to Turners Cross.
How City got a draw is beyond me. Dinny Corcoran alone could have had - should have had - five.
Good game to watch though. Loads of chances, some terrible mistakes, a couple of cracking saves, post hit a few times, played at a good pace, late goals etc etc. Amazingly, Sideeeeeeeeeeee could even have nicked it.
Yeah, O'Connor didn't protest much but I put that down to the fact he's looking forward to a Friday off. Looked like Mulhall kicked his leg back to catch Windy but it happened pretty fast so it's hard to say? What did he do when he was celebrating? Looked to me like he just pumped his fist or something. He doesn't score goals at home so I assume he just didn't know where the home fans were. Or else he wasn't sure which colour Rovers are.Quote:

Finn Harps at Home in Next round would draw a huge Crowd for a 1/4 final.Quote:
