You can't even enjoy your team getting into Europe without mentioning Rovers. You sad little man.

They can spend all the money the want, but they can't buy class or integrity.

wtf youse had a great season on and off the pitch, a good night last night, enjoy it man instead of looking for any bit of ammo to throw an anyone associated with Dublin's green and white. But seen as we are throwing stones and talking about integrity is your lot playing that Leinster Senior cup match or what?

Are you guys saying that it wasn't poor sportsmanship, or are ye just annoyed that someone has highlighted it?

i'm sure comments on lacking class and intrgrity are what solicited those responses not the incident itself!

A good commentator (like Dave McIntyre at Newstalk) would have a raised voice in those situations and give a feeling of excitement with a few oohs and aahs thrown in. Good commentators can make a fluffed attacking move sound exciting. "What an intervention by the defender... ooh that was inches away from the forwards head... etc". George just sounds depressed.

We talk about fixing the league with restructuring the league etc but it's having people with no passion for it, like GH, involved is not helping. Big it up. Get excited ffs. Ugghh.

Rant over.

I dont know about ye but I find listening to Lisa Fallon just as tedious. She is so boring to listen to and so monotone also. I am not being sexist btw.

Eirs loi coverage isnt as good commentary wise since Conor Morris departed imo.

Lisa Fallon was there to provide qualified analysis. Which she did really well. Thought her reading of the game and explanation of what was going on tactically was really good. If Hamilton did his job it would have been fine.

I've always generally been a defender of Hamilton but I don't know what the story with him is at the moment.

Knowledge of the game doesn't necessarily translate to entertaining. I agree with Martinho, I found her monotonous too.

You can always go too far the other way, like Keith Andrews. He goes all Andy Gray-esque and gravelly voiced when describing goals and it sounds contrived.

No in fairness just having seeing it and just my opinion he could of kicked it out but so could of the UCD defender. As for equating the incident to ones integrity Wexfordned .....Mock indignation, clutching at straws, one up-manship, get a life, enjoy the great season you had, chill out man, relax, have a beverage and ASK ME SWISS.

Apparently the UCD defender didn't realise Kearns was injured, so just knocked the ball back to him.

Hardly mattered in the end though really.

The truth hurts 😁
Pity those moaning can�t/won�t focus on the incidents in question.

Sligo 1 Derry city 2.

Derry need one point in the last 2 games which are both at home.

Should be a decent crowd at both games. St Pats on Tuesday and Harps on Friday.

Can't edit, to qualify for Europe.

I just don�t understand why the keeper didn�t kick it out

Derry very good first half tonight. Been impressed with them whenever I�ve seen them this season.

Maybe because his knee was sore? Not sure; strange one though.

Ha! Single-handedly beating Bohs and then gifting Rovers a goal. It's what I'd do I suppose.

Good stuff! Bumped into Con Murphy at the game, so hopefully he'll share your Roverly views and I'll get to plug it properly :)

My own view is that I fully understand Brandon Kavanagh playing to the whistle, but I doubt he will look back on it with much personal pride

I don't think he will, he even looked somewhat embarrassed after he scored imo.

Maybe not sooo much in LoI but players have reaped what they sowed with so many feigned injuries. It is entirely up to the ref to stop a game, reserved for a head injury usually. If a player is seriously injured (an maybe missed by the ref) you will know by the reaction of other players. So players now should keep playing until ref stops the game imo. Maybe not on this occasion but suggest to anyone in the last minutes of chasing a cup final, league title, avoiding relegation, that a player was wrong not to put the ball out and the response is very likely to be different...and we moan at refereeing inconsistancies!?

So the UCD keeper didn't bother putting the ball out of play nor did the full back and the ref didn't stop play but Kavanagh is supposed to ignore them all and stop play? Jayzus lads, you have me defending the Hooped Minions of Beelzebub here.

FWIW, I actually agree with this

AGREED - Posts deleted.

And another thing; unsubstantiated allegations are not allowed lads, "Ask Pat Felon" is not substantiation.

A smash and grab in the Brandywell tonight from St Pats. Full house now guaranteed for the Derry city v Finn Harps on Friday night in the north west derby. Derry need one point too get Europa league if St Pats beat Dundalk beat from home.

Can't imagine many more than 100 Harps fans, if even that, on Friday night. Nothing game for us, likely to be a reserve side playing with the first leg of the play-off on Monday.

Amazed at that Pats win.Couldnt see them scoring one never mind three.
