Aye, all over them. Ryan McBride has been tremendous at the back too.

There's been worse performances up there, the goal could be a good thing going forward..

Lads my broadband caused me an apoplectic fit of absolute fury and only just started working before we scored - how's the game been panning out? Deservedly leading then? Brief synopsis much appreciated.

Cork take the lead

UCD pull one back.

Chris Turner getting the boos from the Derry crowd. Hmmm. Why is that?

very one sided affari in the first half, Derry had 2 good chances that might have gotten goals (am watching on and off admittedly). Mannus made a howler and fumbled the ball into his own net from a free kick.

Is it cos he is black?

Bohs have hit the post 3 times in the last 5 minutes - all from Christy Fagan.

Controlling the game, McBride and Graecen mopping everything up. A wee bit frantic in the first half, a lot of high balls and we've missed a few good chances. McLean has been better - looks like the scouts in the crowd might be affecting his game. Just after playing some lovely football there - we're a lot more composed since the goal.

Since I've started watching we've played some lovely stuff.

Yeah, McClean has looked like he's over-doing it a bit; probably feeling under pressure. First-half was very frantic. Mannus won't have done himself any favours. Made an absolute mess of the free-kick. St. Johnstone manager is in the crowd keeping an eye on him and with all the talk of him reclaiming an international spot, it won't have helped.

Wow, what a double stop by Doherty. Great save(s).

Rovers pressing more now.

2-0 Bohs - Brennan penno after Downes was hauled down

Billy Dennehy free-kick excellently saved and knocked against the cross-bar by Doherty.
