Absolutley fantastic start to the season for us. Was a hard fought battle in the end last night.

We dominated the first half totaly. Doherty had to claw a free kick from John Kearney out of the top corner before he got down to cut out a few drilled balls across the 6 yard box. Our goal was one of some fine build up play. 3/4 passes on the right side before Vinny was released, only to hit the butt of the post. Thankfully MOTM Liam Kearney was on hand to bundled it over the line under pressure.

Second half, Derry came at us and had one or two half chances including a cross that nearly snuck in at the back post only for Konopka to tip wide. With all the Derry pressure we were pinned back on our own box for 10 minutes and couldn't get a hold of it. Should of made it 2 nil when David Grincell was all on his own 8 yards out only to miss control the ball at the crucial moment.

You sometimes wonder why you bother and then the second half of tonights game happens. F-ing unbelievable.

The ref was totally f-ing inept but he was part of the drama and his ineptitude probably made the game what it was. The way this game unfolded was probably why I would never like to see extensive video evidence in football.

pretty much summed it up, when stuey byrne got takin off, changed the game for me, ucd had more of the ball after that, but didnt create anything from it, game should have been over at half time imo, the amount of chances we had, the ucd keeper was abit dodgy at times.

3 great goals, wasnt expecting that from a game against ucd :p
we are top of the league!!!! :D

Thikn it was the opposit. Byrne was brought off for Sinnott as we needed legs in midfield. UCD's quick passing was starting to make inroads

He was gesturing to the bench before he was taken off, so I think it was more a case of fatigue/injury... hopefully not injury. But yeah, you're right in that UCD definitely had more intent with their passing game in the second half - it accelerated with the substitution of Byrne, though. Took us a while to regain our stride, but overall a very competent performance.

Vinnie did get booked for that, Bermo didn't. Which, in a way, makes it worse!!
