QuoteThey stole a draw away from home. A good enough reason for Doherty to celebrate. Pity the sh have to trow a hiss fit for anything at all.
3 out of 3 games now where they booed.
One thing I noted last night was the completely different tone than usual on the pitch between Cork and Derry. Normally the two teams tend to just go about the game of football but there seemed to be more bite in this one; for instance Lordan had to go off for a few minutes to get stitches, and Doherty squared up to our strikers a few times. When Derry grabbed their goal their right back (McCallion?) was only concerned with making gestures to the City fans and Doherty joined him in doing so at the final whistle. Perhaps mindful of the fact he had been booked for similar (less agressive) behaviour, O'Callaghan tried to get Doherty to stop that and ended up getting a slap for his troubles.
Not the worst, nothing like the Shelbourne of yore, but definitely a change. Who knows, perhaps its an element that has been missing for Derry recently and could contribute to more success. Some of the Derry fans I spoke to after the game called this "heart" rather than aggression.

i think any team would have reacted in the same way, so new nasty side - no
God forbid a team has the temerity to celebrate a 94th minute equaliser in the citadel that is Turners Cross.......
The presence of Georgie and his constant mouthing (and hand gestures to the away fans) probably had something to do with the edge.
I'd be more worried about Boring Boring Matthews if I was you. His defensive tactics when Cork were bossing the game resulted in you getting 1 point rather than 3.
Nasty side ? As they'd say in Cork - cop on.
The only nasty side to those 22 players on the pitch was the presence of a convicted drink-driver. Now that's nasty....
very hypacritical of the man making plenty of gestures towards drogheda fans last tuesday.Originally Posted by GavinZac
I dont know if anyone lip-read what Doherty was saying to O'Callaghan but I did, he was greeted with a "Go **** yourself"!!
Definte Shelbournesque tactics for Derry alright, but cant blame them the way the game was going for them at times. Its just a pity they dont concentrate on the football but there you go.
The elbow that Mooney got in the second was unreal, for a while i thought he wouldn't get up.

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Is that when Mooney had to go off the pitch and happened in front of the shed?
A clash of heads with his own captain..
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
I thought we concentrated on the football fairly well.
Ain't 'dem apples bitter......
classic city, did ya ever think its george as he has had scraps with endless players , managers and clubs for that matter.

Typical Shed End response to a team celebrating. If people like Gav and his "commandos" made more of an effort on trying to make an atmosphere and less about bitching about the bold opposition players, the Cross would be a happier place to go these days.
City fans are fantastically amazing whingers. If our own players did that in the Brady, or anywhere else for that amtter, we would be praising their sprit, their camaraderie etc. Nasty my ass. Get over yourself
Nothing event. It is not like Doherty ran down in front of the shed to celebrate as he was 30-40 yards away. George O'Callaghan did it at Tolka & got booked & I did not hear Rovers fans complain.
Wheres the whinging? It was an observation, and I mentioned it could just be a positive for them.
Is every thread with a brief mention of George O'Callaghan now destined to immediately descend into a discussion of his merits?

If he is in their heads it probably will.

Still using that line??? It's like I'm stuck in a time warp. Ooh, 2005, trippy
This thread should be retitled "New petty side to Cork".
Except it wouldn't be new....
The first two times I read that, that's what I read.
I was getting rather worried about you, Steve.
Not least because the only thing 'new' is Dave Mooney who looks all of 15
