Mid week fixtures 27/09

Kenny Shiels post match v Shams.

"..we had the game in the can....How many times have we seen that that a team just agriculturally gets a point..sickens me..."

Not going to quote his full moan about Shams' approach to the match but it's worth a wee listen :D

From about 2':47 on the tape.

I don't think any manager part from Kenny and maybe Buckley can complain about teams playing agricultural football in the Premier this year. Every team does it when they need to, and to pretend otherwise...

Of course Kenny every team thats not quite as talented as your group of 'Galacticos' should roll over and let they're belly be tickled,Id imagine Derry fan's are delighted we the job Shields is doing but some of his interviews are bizarre to say the least.

We've certainly produced a fair amount of manure

How can Derry City be proud of their 'brand' when that absolute jackass in the dugout? :D

Was wondering what was going on there. Crazy stuff.

On the game, I thoughit was decent enough. We played a bit better than of late in the league, but probably didn't do enough to win. Was impressed with Sligo, energetic and played some decent stuff. They could have won it, we could have won it, so a draw was probably fair enough. I don't think that level of performance will do against Cork on Sunday if they are on their game, so we'll have to improve.

As an aside, Billy Dennehy took a free kick tonight that had to be seen to be believed, and not in a good way !!!!!

Yeah an enjoyable 0-0 that's for sure. Thought we were the better team for about 70 minutes but Pats really pinned us back towards the end and should have scored with the last kick. Could easily have been 3-3.

That Dennehy free kick was comical. He was taken off a couple of minutes later. One of the lads in our section reckoned he was taken off as he had to go and find the ball.

That ball was found by the way just south of Naas or maybe that was from one of his free kicks when he was in Cork.
He cost us a fortune in footballs & broken windows ;)
Good player though when he wanted to be.
