Series 33 (6th-12th October)

Do you guys seriously think Kenny will come back to manage Derry when his tenure at Ireland ends? He lives in Blackrock LH for start, no way he'll up sticks again and move for a LOI club, I don't think he will make a return to Oriel Park (maybe in 10 years !) but clearly his next move after Ireland will be a club abroad, (not England or Scot), his options will be continent europe (mid leagues) or US (mid leagues again) IMO, both options not to be sniffed at mind, both will pay very well.

All that said, I don't think Higgins is the right man to lead Derry forward, I'd put him with his fellow mgt team colleague at DFC Vinny Perth, both are good coaches, not what I would consider as great managers.

Can't imagine we would pay what he'd be asking for.
If I got to handpick a new manager, it would be Stephen Kenny. Third time's the charm.

His head could probably be turned by a couple of contracts offered!

Yes he would. It won’t be happening as Higgins will be seeing out his contract but there is no doubtnhe would take the job with the right offer.

UCD 1-2 Bohemians
Bohemians are back into the top 4.

From a Shels perspective after the cup semi-final results and tonight's result it's looking more likely we will have to win our final 3 games Derry (a), UCD (h), Drogheda (a) to pull off a European spot

Though if we did beat Derry next week it could get crazy tight between 2nd to 5th anyone could finish anywhere. Pats have an ugly last 4 games and in the final rounds direct matches Bohs vs Pats and Derry vs Pats final night

That score was a lot closer than it should have been but job done. 3 games left but still all to play for. Could finish 3rd or even 5th. Be happy with 4th and off to the cup final.

Cracking strike for UCD’s consolation….

Thought the ref was very good last night, that’s not something you hear often!
