The first penalty may not have been in the box, but Derry bossed the match entirely. I thought Harps were poor, lacking any of the intensity they showed in our previous meetings this season.
They'd need to step things up a bit of they're not to get dragged back down into that relegation scrap.
Depressing night on Friday.
Derry basically just did all the simple things well and ran out comfortable winners,it wasn't a 5-0 game but it won't matter to our Derry friends bragging rights returned for now.
Another point the crowd for a derby was brutal ,less than 2000 for a Harps Derry game in the top division is extremely worrying.
You sure you are not actually Kenny Sheils?Quote:

Absolutely massive game for us tonight we need the three points, no two ways about it really.
According to our team sheet it's February

Also, if Maguire doesn't start then I would've thought sully would've got the nod. Cue a Morrissey goal...
Sligo 1-0 up already. And down to ten men already.
2-0 Sligo now.
Bohs probably too high up to get dragged into the play-offs, but still. Pretty crappy season for them.
Make that 2-0. Some form they are in at the moment
And Wexford 1-0 up in Tallaght now.
Bray back into the play-off, although with three games in hand. And Harps looking over their shoulders too I'd say.
Could be worse. Could be in the 1st Division, where it is a crappy season for everyone. Well bar the Invincibles.Quote:

Good comeback tonight though.
I insist you criticise us more often :)Quote:

Ugh another blank by us again. Goals are becoming a big problem for us. Been a very frustrating week.
Saw somewhere it's something like 11 games without a goal from play for Cork? Every goal in that time has been a Maguire penalty or a set piece. Amazing stat if true.
Big night for Shamrock R, look to be back in the title race with plenty of games left to play. Is it fair to say teams outside top 4 have only cup to play for now, euro place through league out of reach?
Least they keep clean sheets though.Quote:

As for Cork, deary me..
Just back from Tallaght. Deserved win for Rovers but Wexford looked out on their feet from about the hour mark and reflected the problems caused for a small part-time squad in trying to play two matches in three days. Spot Murphy was clearly having a fitness test just before kick-off, didn't look 100% fit and yet played the ninety minutes. Thought Shane Keegan could have brought on the three subs earlier; he had only three centre midfielders available to come on. Good case for playing what reserves we have against Sligo in the Cup next Friday and concentrating on the nine remaining league matches. Impressive performances by Boyd and Trevor Clarke for Rovers.
Thought we were hard done by by Buttimer last night. Again. Great free kick by Curtis Byrne to level it and the second half was all Bohs without creating a hatful of chances.
Aaprt from the controversy over the sending off, I thought he let the game flow.? I initially thought the sending off was harsh , but some refs sitting near me saw it as a last defender cynical tackle and straight red. Buttimer could be seen consulting with his linesman on the mike , so he didn`t exactly rush in to the decisionQuote:

Nice cameo late on from Cretaro when he had a shot narrowly wide from 35 yards. Don`t see Sligo losing too many more games this season.
My view was that as Akinade kicked the ball out towards the corner so it could hardly be deemed a goalscoring chance. If he kicked it straight on would have had no argument with it. Also felt that Wearen bought a free before the winner (one that was deflected for the corner). When he blew I presumed he was just going to book Wearen for diving.
Sure these things happen. Just seem to happen more when Buttimer is involved though.
Thought we should have tried to pass it about a bit in the second half rather then just clearing it as far as we could most times as all we were doing was inviting more and more pressure but can't fault our lads for effort.
In my experience of Cork this year (admittedly only a half dozen games or so) Maguire is left extremely isolated most of the time. Central midfield is very slow to push on and support and Bolger is the only one in there who seems in any way eager to be in possession in any case.
Wearin stepped over the ball and was kicked in the ankle, free kick every time......oh god , I`m defending Buttimer.Quote:
