Just watched Drogs v Derry on WatchLOI. (Hadn't seen WatchLOI before).
Good commentator.
Camera work OK.
Slightly disappointed there was no second camera. But no replays of incidents?!? How difficult is it to show replays? Shoddy and amateurish.

Yep replay (lack of) was a pain - Clancy was furious about something leading to the first goal - a replay would have been useful to see why etc.
I enjoyed the game but always felt as it went on the part time vs professionals would be the difference in fitness etc. Good to see the Drogs looking more solid in the last few games - good prep for our more important match vs Cabbo (up next)
I think Clancy thought the ball went out of play in the lead up to the goal. I've watched a replay (League's social media accounts have them) of the goal, and you can't tell from the camera angle.
Agree that Derry looked more likely to win the longer it went on, but can't say that Drogs deserved to lose. We were lucky to get the late goals, but you'll take it.
Comfortable for Harps in Bray,2 first half Kogler headers done the damage and good to see the big Austrian find a bit of form,Keegan got sent off pretty early in the second half more or less ending the game as a contest.
Drogheda’s chairman has taken a swipe on Twitter, only seen the Derry goals so can’t comment.
Are any fans of other clubs planning buy the Cobh v Dundalk game for the curiosity value of the DFC management issues, that the wouldnt bother otherwise?
Reading oriel web, you'd think we'd lost. That's why I don't post there!
You're never going to play freeflowing football or win 4/5-0 in Cobh. We should know that by now ffs. The last 2 years alone should have taught the newbie fans that.
I thought it was a fine performance. Possibly the most comfortable win we've ever had in Cobh from all the years down. Good work-rate, lovely first goal. Probably a cheap penalty for the 2nd but Cobh never looked like scoring - Rogers hardly touched the ball.
Great first outing for Filippo. Pity we don't play next week, but I thought the signs were very positive.
If there are no injuries involved its a bit odd that the 2 players that VP was allegedly being told to play (particularly Gatt) werent even in the squad today. Maybe the new manager isnt a such a puppet. He also changed things up a bit with team selection and dropping players that were not showing form in Gannon and Cleary especially. Efficient enough in keeping Cobh at arms length but they did get a couple of reasonable chances that with a bit more composure would have troubled us. Pitch wasnt great for the time of year and lack of football but thats being picky. Cobh didnt make it easy and it got a bit feisty in the end. Was it a peno, I think so but Kelly was looking for it before he got on the ball but drive in to the box like that at pace and the odds are in the attackers favour if they go to ground. He was clipped but already may have lost the ball. It's hard to know whether its good or bad to have a bit of a break between games now. Management team can work on things, injury to Hoban could clear up but you do want to build momentum. Noteworthy that Keegan was very much in the mix of coaching trio.
Comfortable enough in the end for us after conceding early v a decent looking UCD. Belfield is the one ground in the league where the atmosphere hasn't been affected by CV19.
That Cork equaliser was a cracking goal.
When is the draw for the next round? Could be a few tasty parings pulled out of the hat.
Draw for the quarter finals on the 18th of September during the Sligo v Bohs live game on RTE......
Bohs v Dundalk
Sligo v Derry
Harps v Rovers
Athlone v Shels
