Well..... i f we do get past PSG who isn't to say Russia in December won't happen - and as that would be the 5th Euro trip of season I doubt anyone in Derry would have money to buy any clothes
Will you manage to play 3 league games this month?
Looks like you'll have a game every 3 nights in October...
Have Boot Disk, will travel
I knew that word looked wrong. Thanks for that.
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
I dont know how we'll get all the games in - I honestly thought the League Cup final should have went to the Wednesday night - so Derry could have played Sligo on the Sunday as planned. Since Shels v Derry was then scheduled in the league on the Friday - we could have pushed that to the Saturday and no one would have lost out - but prob asking too much for the League to realise that.
I also think that the 3 teams in Europe (not INtertoto) should be schedule to play each other weeks of first round games - that way they could play each other earlier in the season and get ahead - not behind. Would take some schedule shuffling and not be a case of reversing last year's games - but someone coudl easily work out better games. if Intertoto 2nd and 3rd round clash with weeks of other Euro games then include them in this theory.
Derry still have to play Drogs 3 times in the league - maybe one game for 9 points?
I would be very surprised if Derry don't win at least one trophy.
As we are all aware Derry are the only side to do the treble but as far as I am aware Shelbourne are the only team to get a treble of runners-up spots so coming away from the season empty handed is also unlikely if history is anything to go by.

Derry have a big squad. Last night several of their first team were rested.
We had a completely different midfield with no Martyn, Deery or Molloy. Forde was rested. No Hargan or Kelly at the back and Kevin McHugh didnt play.
Greta to see Pizza and big Clive back.
Yes we have fixture congestion but i believe we can handle it.
You not like Killian who returned last night also.
I would expect Derry to win at least one trophy.If not then Felix Healy will still have a better record than Stephen Kenny
There's a spur if ever there was one.I would expect Derry to win at least one trophy.If not then Felix Healy will still have a better record than Stephen Kenny
Sorry i forgot about Killian. Though Killian wouldn't be one of my favourites. My ideal midfield is Martyn and Molloy in the centre and Deery on one side and Paddy or McGlynn on the other.
Have they started on improving the new ground yet?
Nope, It's still with The Planning Bord. We'll be cutting it pretty close to be open for next year.
Seeing as it's the cup final,i assume we get an allocation of 3000 then?
LOL at Shels bringing 3,000 to Derry for a midweek league cup game

Absolutely.
Cash on delivery of course.
Shels underhand ploy 4,078: realise you are going to be outnumber by a factor of 100 to 1, so request half the tickets, sell 20 and leave the ground half empty.
The only confidence I would have that you won't do this is that you REALLY need the money this time.

History lesson.....
Saying Derry are the only team to do the treble is like saying Liverpool have never been champions of England cos they haven't won the Premiership. The League Cup has only been around since 1973. Derry are the only team to do the treble since 1973. Before 1973 Rovers (in 24-5, 31-2 and 63-4) and Bohs in 27-8 won the treble of League, FAI Cup and League of Ireland Shield (which was easily as important as the League Cup is now). In fact Rovers also won the City Cup in 63-4 for a quadruple. There have been numerous other trebles that wouldn't be counted as "the" treble, such as Dundalk's in 66-7 (League, Shield, Top Four Cup) and Sligo's in 93-4 (FAI Cup, First Division, First Div Shield).
The big question this year is will Derry win more trophies than Waterford win games?!!
You would be allocated half of the grounds capacity, not half of what a Derry fan thinks will turn up.
By the way, I think Derry will have a modest crowd, given that many of them will be off to Paris, just over a week later.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Peader, do you have a sidebet on how many ridiculous posts you can make per week?
Pray tell why our home attendance would be impacted by a game taking place 10 days later? I doubt many of our fans are cycling to Paris.
BTW we brought 700 fans to Dublin 3 days after our last UEFA cup game.
