Harps take the lead and Derry equalise
So Derry the only side not to have led at some stage
Good comeback by Galway too. 3-1 down in their dead rubber, 3-3 now. Derry equalize. A great night of goals and twists.
Athlone gave it a go too - came back from 3-0 to 3-2 in Waterford but it's 4-2 now
Mad night..Quote:

Even I'll admit that we are now...Quote:

No danger we’d ever hold on to a lead….
Great League in the World indeed.
What a night, UCD hang on for the win, Harps miss a pen, then still go 2-1 up, but concede in added time, to give the students the edge in the race for the play off spot.ikely still boil down to next Friday nights head to head in Ballybofey. Unless UCD can grab a win I. Their game in hand on Monday v Shels.
Looked offside but wtf was McKeown at. An absolute excuse of a goalkeeper
He?s better than McNulty apparently!
Have to say too there's been a bit of a buzz around the ground the last couple of months. Feels like a bit of a home support building; fair few college students and also some local kids singing away. No idea where that's come from.Quote:

Agreed. Friday nights are meant to be under lights.Quote:

Mad night in Dalymount. Harps only looked liked scoring from a set piece or a mistake and sure enough that?s how their goals came. Boyle?s header from a corner was decent to be fair though. and they even missed a sitter and a pen in the 1st half from awful Bohs mistakes at the back. Kerr at CB was a disaster all night for Bohs. Clarke looked dangerous for Bohs but missed every chance he had.
Felt a bit sorry for McNamee in that team. He?s a proper footballer in a team that don?t play much football.
McWoods came on and pulled his hamstring on his first sprint. Never seen anything like it.
Harps goalie made a dreadful clanger on the goal. It was like the Cska keeper against Pats this year.
Didn't think Kerr was terrible...
Feely gave away the peno, Kelly was poir for the 2nd goal.
McWoods was strange, came in heavily strapped, so carrying an injury, straight after the bohs goal, so Ollie's desperation? Was limping within a minute of coming on.
What a performance . When I was needed we stepped up.
Hopefully sligo win us the league on Monday and next Sunday can be a party.
Plus we can have a real go on Thursday now
Obviously should never have been brought on,never understood this passed fit for the bench malarkey,probably aggravated it even more now and miss the rest of the season….Quote:

Have to say draw was a fair result, Sligo nothing to play for really went it for at one stage, ok we have 8 players missing from available squad we had in July, but every club gets their troubles its just the way it goes.
Race for 3rd will prob go to the last week, unless Pats do not win in Sligo and we beat Bohs at home next Fri, but on the back of that tonight, I wouldn't be too confident of things being decided next friday.
We will have insurance of course, hoping Derry win the cup, if thats how it is, I`ll take it, will repeat my hopes for the season from last last Feb, if we make europe by any method = great season / recovery.
To be abs fair, Pats do deserve to make europe too, hopefully not at our expense !
Dundalk are great going forward and have unearthed a total diamond in Ryan O'Kane but our defence are very dodgy and hesitant at times. What a rollercoaster of a game. beats any heart stress test i'll ever take :D
2 points ahead of Pat's now with a +4 gd and we have Bohs at home next week in op/cf. True squeaky bum time now in the race for Europe.
Strange end of season game at the RSC with Waterford 3 up at half time and looked like would get a few more in 2nd half. Athlone got 2 good goals in a couple of minutes to make it a game but Waterford wrapped it up with Aouchria scoring in last 10 minutes.
Possibly the smallest crowd of the season with the bad weather and fact that we have had a lot of home games lately and have play offs to come keeping fans away.
Surely even the nervous Shamrock Rovers fans on here know the Premier league is won now?
If derry beat us sligo and dundalk and we draw against ucd we could finish dead level. Provided derry 3 wins are by +6 gd (with 2 against us)
Not impossible but if we don't get a pointagainst derry or beat ucd we won't deserve to win anything.
I'll be happy if sligo finish it off for us on Monday.
Have to give credit to the team for digging it out last night after going behind.
36 goals in nine matches last night, that’s an average of four goals per game.
We’d need a few more evenings like that throughout the season, not only one or two.
20 times 20 times Shamrock Rovers.👌Quote:

If Derry beat Sligo ourselves and Dundalk by a combined 6 goals (with 2 aganist us) a draw for us away agaisnt UCD would have us finish dead level.Quote:

Our home form has been what kept us ahead. 15 wins and 2 draws is some performance over a season.
Pico has mase a big difference since he came back
TBH i was puzzled at the starting eleven and we started very ponderously going one down. Mc Cann struggled for the first 20 mins and Jack, Burkey and Andy were a little outta sorts. Thought our passing throughout the 1st half was just too slow. But we did drag ourselves back into it so credit where credit is due. We looked much sharper in the 2nd half and generally moved the ball a lot quicker. Farrugia and Watts were excellent when they came on. I thought the ref gave us a bit more that Pats. Pico WOW.
Thought the ref was awful and got it wrong equally against both teams ( Missed Burke?s push on Forrestor and wrong call for handball by McCann ) difference was we took advantage of his errors.Quote:

Interesting that in his media interview on Thurs Jack B said we aren?t tired and just looking to stumble over the line but intended putting in a ?performance? against Pats - he was so right
Surprised the tree huggers haven?t issued a statement in relation to their ?fans? chanting during the Finn Harps game over the weekend. It?s a great shame Bohs ?fans? are following a similar culture to English football fans. What?s worse are the idiots defending it online. The same fellas would be crying online if it was any other dub club.

It's not going to happen!
Shels haven’t won a league game since the 22nd of July,I do not like this information!!
You'll get a fair idea of what Derry think of this when you see our line up tonight. I'd expect Duffy and McEleney not to take part.Quote:

Lots of stranger things have happened then us drawing away to UCD.
Re the bohs chanting , strongly worded letter from their board is on the way i'm sure ;)
Is there any videos of the chanting? I was at that game but didn?t notice anything. But then again I was in Tallaght when the ?Lizzy?s in a box? chant happened and I didn?t notice that either so maybe I?m not good at picking up that stuff.Quote:
