well done harps !!!
Partizan
All is not quite lost. A 3-0 in the Return Leg for the Blues and you can take it to penalties. I speak from experience here, we stayed up one year on penalties against Athlone Town having lost the away leg 2-1 we won the home leg 2-1 . 3-3 on aggregate. Dead level so it went to penalties. It's a pity Cronin didn't stick around for the home Leg.
2-1 is easier to bridge than 3-0 CTID, and what with Cronin walking, all looks lost for Munsters finest. Another long trip for us :(
Cronin will be there and its not over yet! Dissapointed the way he spoke about one of his players even after what he did.I expect a few sickies to be phoned in Fri morn around Donegal and Tyrone!Quote:

Oh and onephillyhughes, will you now be changing your identity with your namesake signing for Shels? :eek:
I probably won't be allowed to, out of sheer humiliation :D
I got back from Ballybofey in 1 hr 45mins earlier this year. Saw your little short cut on Orielweb, nice work ;)
Hooray, looking forward to Ballyboffey next year! :)
Make a weekend of it in Letterkenny!!
Waterford were disasterous tonight. Delighted they're going down, worst Premier team I've seen in ages, even though they cost us a cup run and took 4 points off us:o.
atm, cronin is still in charge, very unprofessional on the radio tho, stupid idea to talk to him directly after the match. but as for Pat Flynn, hope he's never allowed in a blues jersey again.no excuses.he was always a liability!!dope!!
Don't forget Hedderman, a walking disaster on that pitch tonight. Harps ran rings around him.Quote:

We played some good football tonight, but in fairness, Waterford were poor.
Gethins destroyed their defence, Sheilds and McGowan controlled midfield and the game could easily have been 5/6 nil. Gethins hit the post from a tight angle but, had he squared the ball to Mickey Funston it would have been a tap in to an open net. Parky put the ball over the bar from a yard away, much easier to score. Linesman gave 2 brutal offsides against Gethins and McGowan where both were through with one on ones with the keeper. Overall happy though, Higsy will have the lads focused for Fridays game and I'm sure we will be going into that game with the mentality that the game is still 0-0.
thats probly how our squad will be thinking too............:DQuote:

As regards predictions on the sending off, the smart money is on a lynching if Flynn ever shows his face in the RSC again. :D
If that's your bag daddio! :DQuote:

Its stupid what he did its basically saying Waterford are out of it and havn't a chance of staying up. Mind Games? I personally believe that if Waterford score first in the RSC then its game on.
Well done Harps.
The Parkhouse strike has sealed it for ye and the consistent run of goals from Gethins and Parkhouse in addition to your 25th "league" win of the season, means ye've more than earned your promotion.
Congratulations and well done.
The balance of power in the North West is surely shifting now with Jim Roddy leaving Derry and Harps on a roll.
No more than our last on-field promotion, ye're last elevation was an unmitigated disaster (I think even Harps die hards will agree) so the challenge will be to compete and I'd say ye're up for it.

You have a very good manager, and I'm sure you are full of hope for next season but remember that, as always, you live in our shadow and we generally prove this at least once a season.
Once out of 4 next season? ..................Yeah sure, i'll live with that :pQuote:

Err - that's what always happens after a match that's covered live. The media always speak to the Managers........ :oQuote:

In Waterford for our game on November 2nd, the word was the Jim Roddy & John Roberston were gone. One has since been confirmed.
Harps, unless they are total fools, will build on their admirable success this season and present more than a credible threat to DCFC who will be in "re-building" mode.
Maybe Derry will get Paul Jewell or Martin Jol in and a Chariman on a par with Roddy, but that is my Ladybird explanation for you Steve on why I see a possible shift in the balance of power up your way.
Firstly - when people leave you're not inviting anything. I guess it's true that the first thing drugs do is reduce one's ability to articulate....Quote:

Roddy isn't even our Chairman for feck sake. Board members come and go, he's still involved with 'Brandywell Properties' and the new stadium. These things happen. Jim Roddy is not the lynchpin holding Derry City together.
So the word on the mean streets of Waterford was only 50% right. Whoppee-do. Robertson was not gone of Nov 2nd.Quote:

Time will tell, but I for one will be sleeping soundly for the next 4 months...Quote:
