Holy **** how bad is the Derry keeper? Is Jennings injured?
Dropped after a few bad decisions recently.
This guy is even worse.
Cork City playing some nice stuff.:ball:
Poor enough game. Can only think of one mcCourt chance bar tha goal (McCourt's airshot)
I think RTE are at fault for the poor quality of games. Whenever the games are on Setanta there are goals...
Have you backed either of these teams for the league Dodge?! I know someone who has 1/4 of all the teams backed - he'll probably back Derry after tonight's match if they lose!
This on radio at all?
:D Well they might be value then...Quote:

Neither is one of your fellow supporters, I'll have to arrange to meet him in November when I'm getting my money back on Dundalk having walked to the Division 1 title! ;)Quote:

Having seen both play this season I actually think Derry and Bohs are the two most over-rated teams in the league. Shocked that Derry aren't great, must be trouble with Fenlon.Quote:

3-1 now
Another shocker by the keeper, who was at fault for all 3 goals IMO
Fenlon might be in trouble now. Last 6 games have seen one draw and 5 defeats
Fenlon doesnt know what hes doing.
Keeper looks useless.
4-1
Lovely finish by Behan. Keeper at fault? :D I'll let him away with it
who rated us?:confused:Quote:

Exactly my thinking! It's certainly not the Bohs fans....Quote:

Derry really need Hargan and D Kelly back and a fit Paddy McCourt. Cork were good in the first half all the same. When things go wrong they do go wrong. Its early doors, they should still be able to climb above Bohs and Sligo at least coz they are woeful and dont know how they have as many points as they have at this stage from what Ive seen and from all the reports.;)
which "pundits"?Quote:

Derry City very poor. Not the attacking threat they were at home last season.
:cool:
Jesus - and people think we're fickle and prone to rumour-mongering. Not that I'm not delighted for Pat; He should have taken the Bohs job - might have been just as hated by fans but at least he'd be in Dublin.Quote:

I wouldnt say we're fickle, more a case of disgusted at having to watch that every week. From the minute i heard Fenlon wanted to commute from Dublin told me he wasnt going to give the job full commitment. Derry are garbage to watch!! Its not so long ago that this forum was delighted that we were beating Gretna. We were a good team then. Good teams dont become bad overnight, unless your shels!!:p Fenlon also got a bit of stick from fans behind the dugouts and reacted badly to it, had to be restrained from Tony Gorman. There is a difference between having a poor spell and things getting worse, at the min things are getting worse.Quote:

Oddly enough, I remember a conversation with another Bohs fan on the first day of the season; we were talking about who we expected to win the title, and when I said it should be Derry, he said that the Fenlon would never be able to do anything with that team, and that he'd be surprised if he lasted the year - his point was that Kenny and Fenlon were completely different kinds of managers and a team which had been successful with one wouldn't be able to deal with the other. He reckoned Drogheda would win the league because they are the only one of last seasons top 4 with the same manager and as strong - or stronger - a squad.
Good point! Probably not far away there!Quote:

Don't know about Healy, but they'll be lucky to get 2 consecutive games out of Farrelly
Dont go jumping down my throat- Have for personal reasons soft spot for Derry. Have more of an interest in Irish soccer than whats over hear. As stated by CITYTILLIDIE they dont become a bad side overnight, but who was their manager last year ? It may not be proved for a few years but Ill say the last 2 seasons will one of the most entertaing sides they've seen, ever.History is already proving he gave Longford their most succesfull team ever (though early, they will go down and could midland power base be begining to be switched to Athlone). What do you say about Bohs ! Dunfermline were down when he arrived . The Eircom will be the apprentaship arena where one who will become the special one started-he no doubt has not even started. Thats the shame about Derry the level he took them to should at all costs be seen to be maintained. No way after what he achieved should the relegation dogfights of prior to the real special ones arrival, be returned to. Fortunes change from season to season but DERRY with their stature should be top 4 side wether 12 or 10 team league.
What's with all the hype about Farrelly, he's not that good!Quote:

Watching Derry last night brought back memories of a few years back when a few of the senior pros managed to single-handedly get rid of 3 managers in a short space of time.
Fenlon isn't the only one who has to take a cold hard look at himself.
Last night was simply embarissing...over the past few matches derry have failed to impress on many levels however the problem is throughout the team.
Take ola tidman for example if you search into google "ola tidman bad" you will see approx 10 sites illustrating how terible he is as he was selceted as the worst keeper people have seen for shefiled wednesday.!! His catching ,decisions & kick-outs was terrible. Suppose we never appreciated the contribution forde made to the team.
Fenlon`s signings this season have been strange to say the least. Rogers being the only decent addition however hynes seemed a decent addition to the squad last night. We sign kyle moran for the year and two days later we let him go for the year?!?!?!?
Team morale has dissapered...gareth mc glynn & kevin deery sent home before the match last night for arguing. During the match also some players did not seem interested.
And least to say fenlons tactics cannot be justified!
Fair play to fenlon however as he approached the board and said that he undersatnds we are a big club which needs results and he isnt providing. He said he will understand if the board go in search for another manager.

Fenlon saying to the board 'Aye, no worries if you want to look elsewhere. Sure I've only moved half way across the country to work here...' :o
Which taxi firm do you drive for.....? Spreading nonesense like this doesn't help anyone.
Not to rub anything in, but just so yis know, Peter Hynes is rubbish. For the calibre of player that Derry should be looking to have on their books following their strides in the last couple of years, Fenlon signing him is baffling.
He is a very ordinary 1st Div player at best.
When Hutton was interviewed by Setanta before the game the reporter asked him "How much of a boost is it to have Peter Hynes available for tonight" the response was something along the lines of "Eh...well he's a big lad...so he gives us an option...ye":o
Hynes signing for Derry was the most shocking signing I've seen in this league.
