Shels win 3-0 Game over.
any updates on the sligo longford match?
0-0 Blues Derry. Blues had the team bus parked in front of the goal and the wind was horrible. Farren hit the bar. A McCourt corner hit the bar. Possible Derry peno shout in the first few minutes.
Linfield defended well
Finished 0-0 south sligo red.
Congratulations to Dan Connor for picking up tonight's customary Setanta Cup red card.
And for giving Denis Behan a box. Let's see if he gets the 3 game ban that Roy O'Donovan got.Quote:

My favourite bit was when he gave a free out when Mouncey cleaned his own keeper Mannus, with Farren the nearest Derry player 5 yards away.
Time and time again that muppet sets even lower standards and then fails to meet them........
Apparently Georgie got some very bad treatment up in Drogheda tonight,Be intersting to hear ricos comments cos he thinks that the refs arent protecting players enough.
Great stuff by City though,not many teams will go to Drogheda without 3 first teamers and win 2-0
what sort of treatment did george get ? nothing out of the ordinary .Drogs were crap .Doolin put out an understrength side who never performed.Dan connors antics where ridiculous .Quote:

Can anyone tell us what happened.
Maybe they're giving him a reason to ly on the ground!!!Quote:

It's a shame really because it will probably mean that O'Connor will escape further punishment. I'm positive the ball was across the line anyway.
Georgie was hit with a nasty tackle but you see them up and down the country every week.
Joe reacted to it and got booked which was just plain stupid.
We were so in control at that stage, it wasn't even funny!
Drogs deserve an away semi-final based on that pathetic performance.
Against us hopefully!
Its pathetic though at this stage the lack of professionalism being shown in our league with players reacting to things when they shouldn't be. Heary on Friday being the prime example!

Agreed cork were in control at that stage.We where always going to get an away semi .Doolin made 7 or 8 changes from fridays game.And before any cork fans get stuck in its not an excuse its a fact.We where **** none the less. Nothing game ,bring on the semi...Quote:

Drogheda were terrible & exposes the fact that squad not as good as cracked up to me. When Drogheda stop the physical shows the lack of creativity in the side. I think also lacking a few leaders on the pitch.
Connors sending off was hilarious as he really lost the plot. I didn't see it myself as was looking the linesman as he failed to award a goal as Connor walked the ball into the goal. was good open game which is exactly what city required. Windy conditions suited out passing style & did not suit Drogheda long ball tactics.

Sick of talking about it now to be honest. But I'd generally go along with ndrog's view. Cork were better than us and deserved their win.
But :)
8 changes were made from our last league game which simply has to have an adverse effect and yes it is Doolin's fault. There was alot of p*ssed off Drogs there last night.
And we do not play negative long ball football and I wouldn't say we are more physical than any other eL side. Just look at the praise we have received from many quarters for the football we are playing. Some class stuff at times.
And yes I agree, Dan Connor is a prat!
What did Connor do? I missed the highlights on Setanta last night.
He hit Behan and gave away a penalty. All in a nights work for our Dan!
Heard from a reliable source that Doolin wanted the "challenge" of playing Linfield at Windsor Park in the semi-final , hence his lack of interest in last nights game. If true it has probably backfired on him coz Nutsys team is coming into form and if they beat Derry next week it will be a Shels v Drogs semi final with Linfield travelling to Cork.

I think it was a cop out and a way to take the pressure off himself and the team. By doing so he sold your whole town and club short by harming your chances of making a final and earning a lot of cash. He wouldn't get away with that rubbish if he was in charge of city.
The point Im making is that Doolin just might get out of jail here , following the draw at the Brandywell it looks like a Shels/Drogs semi-final , and most Drogs would have no problem with that. Could even end up a Cork/Drogs final yet!!
Why? what was he doing ??Quote:

Danny hit a belter from outside the area and Connor caught it but the momentum took him and the ball over the line. Behan went in on him and it would have been a free out since the goal wasn't given. That wasn't good enough for Connor, he had to throw a dig at Behan and was promptly sent off.Quote:

Some of us believed that the rule only allowed a keeper to come on for another keeper.
Either way it made little difference, we were out of sight at that stage and the drogs were heading for the exits.
No complaints about the ref giving everything your way when you played at Windsor. It is about time we got a few decisions our way in this competition as referees have undoubtedly cost us points.Quote:
