Boyle for Derry City looked like he could do some damage, otherwise they didn't look too strong (from the 2 minute highlights anyway).
Hopefully with another weeks training together and a match under their belts our back 4 will be starting to gel.Quote:

Anyone know if there will be commentary online or radio for tonight's game?
Have heard 95fm. If not then chance one of the Derry stations online.Quote:

What a absolute disgrace a kip.
On the 25mins that were played how were we going?
By reports on clubs twitter we were under huge pressure since clarkes goal.
Apparently Limerick offered to play the game at 2pm tomorrow. A practical and logical solution. However Kenny Shiels and co had the audacity to refuse while the governing body sat idely by..
We were under a bit of pressure but not massive, we were causing hassle on the break and were in with a very good shout of making it two one to us just as lights went off. Derry didn't look anything fantastic any pressure was mainly self inflicted for two reasons.
1. Bastien Hery while outrageously good fun going forward is about as useful defensively as half a Stephen Folan.
2. Because Martin Russell in his wisdom has switched to zonal marking. The biggest joke of the night wasn't the floodlights it was the two free Derry men at every set piece. I counted the time in my head and for their equaliser the Derry player had nearly eight and a half minutes to steady himself in the box after his original effort at goal was a swing and a miss. Hopefully zonal marking was taken out the back of the hotel and shot before they went home. If we try that nonsense in dundalk we'll be hammered.
Last night was shaping up to finish about seven five to Derry til the lights went. Maginn Park is a terrible, terrible, ground. Pitch aside (which is decent in fairness) Jackman Park is better in every way.
So everyone happy if we keep it to a narrow defeat this week then?
Anyone know when O'Connor is back from injury, I'd be delighted with a draw v dundalk, I'm never happy with any loss 😁 but narrow defeat wouldn't be the worst I suppose.
2nd game back in premier league I think it's asking a bit much to beat a team as good as dundalk away from home there a very very strong side a bridge to far IMO but as long as we are competitive and give them a good game I'll be happy with that.
a draw would be a amazing result.
Paudie signed for Leeds.Quote:

He meant David O'Connor. Big test on Friday alright. We have the fire power to cause problems but how we hold up defensively will be the big question.Quote:

What’s going on with Flynn? Is he injured?
We are a good side and should do very well this year.
Robson is a little gem of a player.
Right move to swap Hery out for this one and would you put him back in at home Monday ?Quote:

But was he woejus in a snaily crafty art of standing in the right place a la Glenn Whelan and while he looks he was doing nothing, remove him and your enemies come flooding through while eating a picnic maybe ?Quote:

Constantly being startled by the game going on around him.
It's not a night for giving out though. Like I said we look a good side who could do very well this season.
Crucial we don't do a Limerick now and let bohs turn us over Monday.
It's Anthony Buttimer so anything could happen on Monday!Quote:

Couldn't complain at all tonight played well and had them pinned back near the end. Would have been some moment if Freddy header went in.
Gamble has undoubtedly done a top class job with the lads fitness in pre season. Strange comment re GAA arses though!Quote:

Very happy with how last night went, even game, draw would have been a fair result. We have nothing to fear this season, we more than matched the 3 in a row champions in their own back yard.
Such a Limerick thing to do go from a great performance against Dundalk to one of the most one dimensional sh1t performances I've seen in ages.
Martin Russell wouldn't want to start this ****e again how he left Turner on that pitch for 82mins was a complete mystery to everybody in the ground even pat o Sullivan was screaming for him to act and get Kenny on.
Duggan was terrible aswell and could of been taken off aswell.
This passing around the back needs to stop it's 5 to 6 passes then it gets played up the line we were lucky not to be 2 down in the first half over it.
Massive game already coming up Saturday
Experience shone through with a few bohs players. Both Lorcan Fitzgerald and Derek Pender gave a master class in defending back there. Once they sussed us out we offered absolutely nothing. Keith Long got his tactics spot on tonight. I think Bohs had one shot on goal in the second half and zero corners but came away with the win.
I'm not saying we don't have experience I'm saying the experience of certain Bohs players shone through as they easily counteracted our attempts tonight. That was pretty clear to be seen.
