Think Ballybofey may have been the late 70's. If I recall it was 5-1 to Finn Harps with around 15 or 20 minutes to go and it ended up a 5-5 draw with Finn Harps winning on penalties.Quote:

But the most worst thing is our strikers just cant seem to score and this was proved last night when we missed 4 out 5 pens with our centre back scoring our only pen.
If we dont get it right soon it could be a long season with a lot of nil all draws
another classic statement from you ! we hope linfield go in for the kill just like the corkies did in the cup final.Ha Ha :DQuote:

Believe me mate, it pains me to say that. I wanted you to stay in the competition but you didn't do enough and that defeat to Glens was the difference.
Derry City do Linfield a favour by virtually handing them a Setanta Cup final place. I thought shels better as they created more from open play.
I see little chance of Drogs getting a result in Windsor especially as Dan Connor is suspended so no keeper.
I disagree Paeder. Our midfield was superb especially Barry Molloy but we just weren't clinical enough in the final third. $hels had about 4 shots all game and we dominated possesion. We just need to start shooting and teach Mc Court to simplify the game and we'll be perfect
You can't score goals. All your good play is in areas where teams are happy to let you play football. Unless you can sort this problem out I don't think you will finsih as high as you did last year.Quote:

You did Linfield a huge favour. Surely that will go a long way to improve relations between the clubs. That is at least something positive for you to take from your participation in the competition...
Derry fans were actually saying after that at least they'd done some good in knocking Shels off the top of the group! :eek:Quote:

On the topic of the Tyler Cup game between Harps and Linfield, it was played on May 4th 1978.
After a 5-5 draw, Harps won it 4-3 on penalties.
Teams -
Finn Harps – Eddie Mahon, Declan Mc Dowell, Paul Mc Guinness, Tony O Doherty, Jim Sheridan, Joe Healy, Joe Logan, Hilay Carlyle, Tom Mc Guinness, Jon Duffy, Charlie Ferry. Subs – Eddie Mc Groarty and Terry Harkin.
Linfield – Ken Barclay, Alan Fraser, Frank Parks, Roy Coyle, Peter Rafferty, Cyril Hewitt, Dave Nixon, John Garrett, Jim Martin, Martin Malone, Billy Murray.
My old memory is not too bad. I actually recall that game and I was only 9 at the time (honest :p ). Some great memories there with that Linfield line up. Peter Rafferty, my all time favourite player but Billy Murray, Davy Nixon, Alan Fraser and John Garrett were all Linfield greats.Quote:

Shels were 1-0 up and they allowed you posession around the midfield, but you didn't threaten until late on, after they had made some changes.
You won 1 game and failed to score in 3.
You finished just 3 points ahead of Glens.
It's right in front of you, staring you in the face! Open your eyes and see it!
in fairness it would have been about 78/79 when we were playing in the tyler cup - at that stage there wasn't even a cork city fc. whose the johnnycomelatelys now ;)Quote:

Draw was a fair result and yes our lack of goals killed us.
Your last point is irrelevant. We finished 2 points behind Shels, which is much more relevant.
And we'll see how well Cork get on when they play a decent side in the tournament.
