Derry are a good team and i for one am delighted for them.They have great fans and a great manager and their style of play will always yield goals.C'mon City
Do they only play for 45 minutes in Scottish soccer?
Deepfry that ya little boll ox!!!!
Now, now, play nice. Remember - attack the post not the poster...! :D
SuperG was obviously on a wind-up but there was a lot of supposedly reasonable commentators with similar views over there. How the feck did a second-tier team from a ****ant little town on the Scottish border (admittedly with a bit of cash behind them) come to be viewed as the BIG club in this equation, with a full-time club in a mid-sized city, one of their country's top clubs, with years of European experience and home and away wins to former trophy-winners already under their belt were viewed as the minnows:confused:
Because nobody cares about our league. In Ireland, Derry were viewed as the minnows, never mind Scotland.
Good times
Mwa ha ha! Fair play Derry.
And then ate it. :DQuote:

Well done Derry. What a response to those muppets!
C'mon Gretna Boy, where are ya. Come out and take your medicine like a man:D
By the way, if you are reading this just know that we are still laughing, and will be for a very, very long time. I'd like to congratulate you for making Derrys victory even sweeter for all of us "spud-pickers":D :D

Commentators were gas aswell they nearly came out through the radio when Derry got the fourth
This thread is hillarious :D
I'm saving every page from this thread on my computer. Brilliant.
congrats to Derry, a marvellous result and I wish you every success in the next round:ball:
brilliant display and result by derry, just came across the game by pure fluke when channel surfing (setanta) - last 4 goals were just class - as were the mass fans behind the goal, christ how good must that have felt - every other 21, opps, 20 clubs in our league would have loved a slice of that in our dreams.
surprised not much made in papers today re previous record wins in europe, think i saw it was biggest ever win away in europe by an irish side (hardly surprising) - rovers were next best beating a Lux side 4-1 away in the 60`s - other big wins were us beating Fram of Iceland at home 4-0 in early 80`s
Can anyone post any other big wins ? I cant recall any more than 2 or 3 nils
Shelbourne beat Glentoran 4-1 in Tolka Park two season ago in the CL First Qualifying Round. It was 6-2 on aggregate.
EDIT - P.S. You robbed my avatar! ;)
where else would you save it?Quote:

great result and an even better thread, from the first post by superclown to sonofstans comment, pure class.:)
Where's SuperGretna? Banned again maybe?? :confused: :D
Article from Gretna Website -
Despite being 5-1 down after the home-leg, Gretna still have a chance to progress to the first-round proper of the UEFA Cup when they travel to Derry City on Thursday (Aug 24) - with this club, anything is possible.
While the idea of winning by five goals away from home after losing by such a large margin at home, it should be remembered that Gretna were playing at Fir Park - not Raydale Park - and the players had only played one competitive match (and it's arguable whether winning 6-0 at home to Hamilton really counts as a competitive match).
So how can Gretna achieve what would be one of the greatest European comebacks of all-time? By not treating it as a European match, but a standard league fixture.
The difference with league games, of course, is that - unless a club needs a good goal-difference at the end of the season - a 1-0 win earns the same points as a 6-0 win. Gretna's players know all about winning by large margins, they have done so many times over past few seasons, and nobody would be too surprised if the Black and Whites were to score twice inside the first 10 minutes of a league fixture and then on to score a hat-full.
Sure, there is a viewpoint that Gretna's players underestimated Derry City before the second-leg - although that has been denied by a fuming Steve Tosh - but there is no chance of doing that again. Whoever starts on Thursday should believe they can win the tie - not just the match.
It is essential the match is broken down into small parts, with an aim for each part. For example, scoring two within 10 minutes has to be the initial task.
The speed of Derry's attack compared to Gretna's defence, who were made to look flat-footed in the first leg, also suggests that attack really should be Gretna's best form of defence.
With lots of luck (perhaps like the luck Kevin Deery had to score two blinders in the same game, let alone the same decade), and belief, Gretna can do this - and I'm sure most fans would rather see them lose with all guns blazing than settle for a clean-sheet.
Sure, it's not likely (and nowhere near as likely as the 20/1 one bookie is offering), but stranger things have happened in football, just ask Liverpool...
Our recent poll asked 'How should Gretna treat the UEFA second-leg?' and, currently, an overwhelming majority have said Gretna should try and win by five goals.
Try to win by five goals 61%
Any win will do 23%
Aim for a clean sheet 5%
Field an experimental team 11%
