2 penalties given against dundalk tonight, that will teach Stephen Kenny. The ref advantage/benefit in the LoI is crucial, and is often ignored. but can be worth an extra 10% at least if your club has it. Do folk believe it evens itself out, over season? (my own view is it does not, but changes clubs over seasons).
Funston puts Harps 2-0 up against Derry with just under ten minutes to go.
A very mediocre performance but 2-0 up. I'll take that!
Derry just haven't recovered have they go's to show the tole it took on there players
All over in Oriel. Great night for us. 9 points clear.
Surprised by dundalks result, even though bray are going well this year.
Did not expect to be 9 clear at this point but definitely happy to be so.
Very tough for derry after what happened, they had a strong start but it's fallen to pieces now.
Only one team looked like winning tonight. Paddy McCourt different class.
Delighted.
Great result for Harps and 11 points so far is a great return for the first series of games with 2 games still to play. We would have took that at the start of the season.
Derry losing McBride was a huge blow to them both on the pitch and mentally. It was always going to be a tough battle after that but then losing Patterson and McNamee on top of that to injury it was going to be much tougher.
I was worried once we had lost all our main strikers to injury lately but Banda coming back into the scene has definitely helped.
We'll look forward to the Drogheda match now next week.
Finally a peno for Galway after 70 odd games. Vital point as well, as it keeps us in touch. Long way to go and set plays will really be important this year.
We equalised with our first peno in 72 games - last one (two actually) was in 5-3 win over Bohs in May 2015
The Northwest is ours! Hon the Harps!gutted i couldn't be there but delighted i was able to source dad a ticket at the last minute
Wonder how many we've had since then, Must ask Stephen Kenny, he probably knowsQuote:

Goal, Assist and MOTM performance from BJ Banda tonight, Harp's first ever league win away to Derry
Lacklustre performance from us tonight. Only played well in patches and there was a point in the 1st where we just needed to turn the screw on bray and they would of crumbled. Lack of a killer ball to davie mc.
9 points is a huge gap and the gd is alot too. It's not over but there is an awful lot of work to do to get back into contention. Literally no more slip ups especially since everyone else is rolling over for Cork

Sheppard's goal
Michael Schligerman man of the match tonight. Made some unreal saves. Happy with the 3 points but we need to start taking our chances.
Well, the poor petal did point out ye have had 13 since their last one in April 2016. Oh, the unfairness of it allQuote:

Interesting times
How long is McNamee out for?
