Cobh have only just won the league and the celebrations would have been pretty big in Cobh. And the final part of my rant is a question:

Do Cobh really want to be playing in the setanta cup? As a part time team having to travel mid-week the length of the coutry to play against Linfield/Drogheda or who ever else. Just a theory. It would have been different in our situation as the travel would not have been as bad.

Wumming? Are you for real? It was a comment about the game...and possibly one made too soon since Cobh have pulled one back.

I actually expected Cobh to have a good chance in the game based on both t eams run of form. Granted playing against different standards has a big influence but Cobh are in the habit of winning, have been defensively strong and should be on a high.

Whereas Derry have been in very poor form, their chairman has stood down and their manager's future is in doubt.

On the wanting the Setanta point, I think the money would be a major draw. Its hard to turn down the chance but they would have to bulk up their squad.

Cobh will have to play team of this standard and higher regularly next season. The point I was making is they'l need to bulk the squad they won the league with in order to avoid relegation

Even if Cobh were winning tonight they would need to bulk up on the squad. With 3 automatically going down next season it will be a tough ask for them, ourselves/waterford, Bray, UCD and Galway to stay clear of relegation.

Derry go through.

Woo hoo.

Thank God the seasons over, we've had a worse year than Britney Spears.

Shut the door on your way out Robbo.

Agree, was willing to give him time to fix Fenlons mess but its obvious from media reports he is not 100%.

He doesn't want to be in the job.

ANd he's not alone in thinking that.

Who would you have for the job, Hegarty? ;)

Maybe Gill would take it this time? Say he regrets not taking it at the start of the season.

With a new board at the Brandywell I wouldn't be too surprised to see Felix back.

Yes please :p


Sam....I suggest Hegarty to Derry to a Harps fan before the game the other night... he just looked at me and said 'oh sh!t...I never thought of that' :D

Hands are up Steno!!:o;)

Felix hasnt got the qualifications. As much as i'd like to see Higgsy he is in a comfy position. Part-time at Harps and doin well and working in his day job which he loves. Cant see him leaving Harps.

As for who we could get, I would like to see Peter Hutton given a crack of the whip full-time with Gary Beckett his assistant. A long shot but thats who i'd like to see if Robertson goes.

I heard a rumour about a month ago that Paul Cook was going to be replacing Robertson at end of season.

Dont know if it would have a leg to stand on considering there is going to be board changes, and the new board would be appointing anyone if Robertson leaves

Anthony Gorman football genius ;)

If it came from Derry I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

No it was actually from our side, which I'd be worried about happening tbh.
