EL Cup Final

Just back from the game, both sets of fans were great in creating a superb atmosphere, pity about the game.
How in sweet jebus was Kev McQ MOTM? :eek: Fair enough he scored a screamer but what else did he do? Derry should have had the game wrapped up in the frist 20 mins. Pat McCourt is a joy to watch (even when being kicked around the park) Ken Oman is a class act imo too.
Once again the ref was terrible i thought. He gave some shocking decisions both ways and really bottled other decisions. But enough about him.
Crowe is finished, he's a shadow of the player who was playing for Bohs in his previous stint. Hunt was badly lacking in a very dull Bohs side, very negative and they got what they deserved... nothin.
Hopefully Harps can keep up their push now and set up a massive play off game with the muckers.

He scored the goal, which is a hell of a lot more than anyone else did in that 120 minutes.

I thought it was between Oman and Pizza tbh. Neither gave Mansaram a sniff.

Not alot of chances, but some very good passages of play imo

That was a terrible game of ball, bohs were brutal

Ehhhhh ? We were winning trophies years before Longford had more in the stands than on the pitch.

Our first senior national trophy even came at the expense of Longford in 1986.

Derry are the new no-one - we're unique ! :D Only team to win a treble of League Cups. More Senior national trophies per-years in the league than any other EL team. Like I said, unique...... :D

The new Longford.....:o

Why would City fans be attacking a bar in their own city....?!?! :confused: :rolleyes:

If we were that way inclined we'd have had plenty of opportunities to do so over the last 22 years.

Strange that something like this only happens when Bohs English schooligans are in town. Hmmm - now could there possibly be any connection.....

its different when your at the game. i think most of the people who said it was a good match were there, anyone who said it was muck watched it on telly.

Disjointed performance, down I think to too many changes, and we missed Turner, who has been important recently.
But can someone who is not on mind-altering substances explain or even speculate why Glen Crowe's goal was disallowed? It's remarkable that no one has yet sought to defend that decision.

I can only aassume there was pushing etc on the keeper in-advance of, and whilst the ball was, being floated in from the corner.

The Ref could clearly be heard to blow a second or two before Crowe actually headed the ball.

does anyone feel that crowe fenn etc seem to be just showing up to collect the wages. i dont feel they are giving 100%.
ps - i enjoyed the game on tv- ciaran martyn covers some serious ground

Natural justice.

Burns should have gone 30 seconds earlier for pulling down Farren as the last man and the subsequent Bohs free in was never a foul. As the commentary team pointed out.

surprised no1 mentioned the reaction of joxer and o'donnell when being subbed and then heary's efforts to avoid being hugged by the fat evil w***ker. obviously us bitter red fans would be lookin out for any trouble in paradise.

I have seen at least 4 worse games on TV this season.
Two ridiculous posts, although to be fair, entirely predictable from one party...

i thought it was reasonably entertaining. decent 1st half, next 75 mins were pretty bad. fair play to derry for rising to the occasion and playing with a bit of tempo and heart, bohs contributed nothing to the spectacle. putting a talentless defensive midfielder like rice on in front of heary's a bit of an insult to heary isn't it?

Obviously the drive home last night was no fun, and our performance left a lot to be desired, but I thought the atmosphere at the game was brilliant for the most part - for once there were enough Bohs fans at a game in the Brandy to make ourselves heard and, thanks to the club running buses, most of them were the 'ordinary decent' fans who don't normally make away games outside Dublin.

Similarly, although the self- regard of 'the best fans in Ireland' stuff can get a bit tiresome, the friendliness and good humour that you generally meet in the place and the undeniably powerful noise a full Brandywell can generate makes it difficult to begrudge them in any serious way.

Except for the result and the way we played after the first half, i wouldn't have missed last night for anything.

And if some of our more cretinous support decided to express themselves by attacking a bar, I hope Derry fans and the people of Derry in general know that this is nothing to do with the great mass of people that make up our club.

*sob*

according to radio foyle this morning 7 bohs fans(casuals id guess) are in police custody.
