As stated here, http://www.letsbet.ie/forum/showthre...3709#post53709, it seems that Alan Kelly and his team love 1-0 away wins :)
Glad to get a point. It's enough to stop the rot. Pity Rovers drew. Friday night will be interesting.
I was watching the Pats-Bohs game. Pats have flair and having seen them a few times this season I believe they are the best footballing side but Bohs are dogged and they dug deep to stop Pats. I still think Pats will win but Bohs will push em hard.
Another point I took from tonight's game, Alan Kelly is not as good as the FAI may think. He gave a terrible decision in the second half. Mark Rossiter jumped for the ball and Ryan Guy ran into him while he was in the air. Guy made no effort to jump and Rossiter was in the air when the collision happened. Somehow Kelly gave PATS the free!?!?
Good night for us. With other results we closed the gap between ourselves and first to four points and moved six clear of Cork. Drogheda having a shocker of a season so far. Still have reservations about us being able to go the full way this season but if we can beat Bohs or St. Pats (again) at home anything's possible.
The worst part seems to be we play really well and draw or lose. Then you get thinking well we played so we should beat so and so next game. Then we play average and don't win either. Lucky Sligo ****s.
I woudnt say lucky,Quote:

What a disgraceful decision that penalty was. How could the linesman possibly make that call, when the ref, Connolly saw nothing wrong. Fitzgerald just fell over after Derek Foran's tackle. If you are going to give penalties for that there should be 10 or more in each game. Fuc*ing robbed. :mad:Quote:

delighted to scrape the point though,last few seasons drogs away hasnt yielded much.couple of away games in a row and if we get a point off of bohs and a win against ramblers it would be fantastic.ironically i think bohs pitch will suit us better than our own
Nice for the coffers. Badley needed too I would say. €50000-60000 for the club :)Quote:

Badly needed income, we have no home game now 'til the 24th June against Bohs, thats alot of wages with no return in a month.
Great game of football, we were better team but didn't create enough chances, a draw prob best result but thats football.
Both Derry goals will be contenders for goal of the month and the second will be contender for goal of the season, absolute screamer out of nothing.
On a more sour note, a Derry City fan suffered a fatal heart attack on his way back to his car after the game. He was an 82 year old retired school teacher im told.
R.I.P.
Sad to hear, RIP.
I always think that the death of a supporter from a heart attack, at a game following the team they love, is very poignant.
Can i ask if you were at the game tonight??? Luck doesn't come in to it.Quote:

Thought youz got one point too many, to be honest.Quote:

You were at a different game,we deserved the point.We could have won itQuote:

Then equalise late on with our first real attack of the game with spectacular celebrations amongst the 100 of us. Makes it all worthwhile :)
Word on the Harps forum that a Derry fan died after the game,RIP
Tonight at the Harps game Peter Mc Girr from Limavady died as he was leaving the ground, he collapsed and died. Peter was approx. 82 years old, ex Head Master of St Mary's High School. Peter was a life long DCFC fan who followed DCFC around the country.
One of life's true gentlemen - he was a great supporter of the Derry city football club.
Season ticket holder, never missed even the most meaningless of friendlies and always bought every ticket I waved under his nose!
He bought club membership for all his children and grandchildren even though they were rarely in Derry.
Peter was always supportive and never moaned or bitched about the club, I often wished we had more like him.
RIP.
For some strange reason I think I'll take Superhoops word for it - given how you seem to just imagine stuff.Quote:

Also, P.S, shocked that your rant doesn't include Sammon in some shape or form :eek:
Overstatement of the year :eek: Notice 'no comment' on the penalty that robbed, yes robbed us of 2 points.Quote:

To say that only the ref should make a call like that (a) assumes the ref is competent, which we've already seen is a big ask in itself and (b) is just nonsense.Quote:

Bray must be the luckiest team in the Premier this year - four goals at home, and four wins. Three attacks last night, and two goals. Your luck took a turn towards evening itself out last night. Dry your eyes.
Appears you can't read so.Quote:

Point out the non-chances I describe in the report. Then point the Bray chances I missed which showed you deserved the win.
Absolutely sick after last night, the poorest Rovers performance at the Cross in years, 1 attack, 1 goal.Quote:

Had most of the ball and chances but again failure to put away an inferior team costs us, the ultimate smash and grab.
I knew Rovers were takin the **** when I saw them urinating in the street afterwards. The 2 high class portaloos were obviously not classy enough :D
good point for Rovers last night.
we played poorly,had one chance and scored.
cue riotous celebrations amid the hooperati.:eek:
great stuff altogetheri.:)
The ref was nothing special. i.e. nothing Rovers are unaccustomed to in Cork - they are the latest side to resort to hacking at Rice in particular and get away with it. The linesman in front of us was watching a different game to the rest of the ground too.
Only bit of football we played we scored from, but still those celebrations were worth all the crap. A late equaliser down in Cork and for Rovers for a change...the smile is still there this morning :)
would be surprised if either pats or bohs win the league. derry were the best team we played this season and will be there or there abouts
