No there's not; he lashed out. Stupid sending off.

Entertaining game with Farren and Derry's 9 and 10 looking dangerous but Shels looking likely to score at the other end with a very dodgy nordie defence. Two centre-halves were getting beaten fairly easily.

Who was the number 6 for Shels? A heck of a lot of Derry fans than I expected

That was Colin O'Brien younger brother of Mark.....Nicknamed "NIpper". He played very well until his final ball.

Thought it mostly all Shels but they never took their chances.

Do Derry still bring a rake of fans to games? They were the 'best followed' team in LoI before last year anyway. Loudest and best fans in the league.

150 odd at flancare this year

We gifted the two goals to Bohs last night. We actually played some decent stuff in the first half but nobody tracked Keegan's run into the box and then Brush made a monumental f#ck up to give them the second. Outside of that there was little between the teams. Hardly an unexpected result though.
You only have to look at the subs they brought on: Cronin, Killian Brennan and Jason Byrne for Keegan, Quigley and Madden.
We had O'Grady and Ventre (two holding midfielders, although I'm not sure if Ventre is actually even a footballer) to bring in when we were chasing the game.
No contest. Our squad just isn't strong enough to challenge for a top three place. Really hit home last night.We ran out of steam and Bohs were comfortable in the last few minutes.

current scores Salthill 2-0 Mervue and Longford one up v Athlone

town 2-0 up victor ekenmemkenajimbob

salthill win 2-0 that is there first win (i know awarded win against us) is that also the only game then have not let in a goal?

2-1 austin skelly, ryan mcevoy!! curse you and your assist

skelly sent off for 2 yellows


EDIT: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D

Nice one. Dr Jekyll must have turned up tonight.

Don Cowen was class for the Town. McEvoy should be a big player for Bohs, sweet left foot. Great game :D

mcevoy looked good for us at the start of the season, but never really carried on.. looks a player on his day thou

McEvoy's a class act, needs to bulk up though. Can see him doing well for Bohs in years to come.

Dundalk 0 v 3 Saints lat

I am no expert on the geography of Terryland but that doesn't look like an amazing crowd.

Clueless. Wouldnt see that kind of defending in the Junior leagues.

You were poor alright. As easy a win as we've had this season. In fairness to Cherrie, he looked injured but 3 headed goals and we walked the rest of the way
