Games weekend 25th july

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 ...

Will take that. Adam Brennan coming into his own lately. Who's that other Brennan chap?

Onwards to Dundalk next week!

Are they related ?!

Apparently two nil is the most dangerous lead in football.

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…

At this stage our own SSA and co would be bothered with that messing. Yeah they would idiotically fight a rival group but launch fireworks in to random fans? They'd be disgusted by that!

Cracking entertainment in Finn Park tonight. Harps could have got all three points but on the balance of 90 minutes a draw was a fair enough result. Cobh easily the best side in the division we've faced this year and I'm struggling to understand how Dundalk are now six points clear of them.

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.

Apparently, some videos showing Bohs fans in the Bogside causing trouble.

Having also beat them and Bray when on our tail, and remember we let banker 4-6 points go too so we should be further ahead. I wish we had a lot less of the season left with the current gap.

yeah just seeing all the other videos of the events pre and post match. The Bohs idiots were out in force fighting the Derry idiots it seems. Doesn’t excuse shooting hundreds of fireworks at the regular Bohs fans who were not looking for any trouble while leaving the ground, including women and children

Agree with that, most Dundalk fans are also struggling to understand how we are six points clear, when we should be 15 clear.

Beating the best team in the division 3 times already this season might help explain it though.

Yeah, very depressing.
The black clad Bohs knackers with their Wrexham mates had som revenge nonsense for earlier in the year.
Walking down Lecky drive and about 50 of them fighting zNogside kids I some pre arranged ****.
Cue 60 yrold Bohs fan punched to the ground outside.
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 ….
