As Liam Brady would say; I'm not having it Bill.

I understand the thought about away fans, its happened to me plenty of times. But Shels match was originally going to be played earlier on the saturday, and it was the FAI who wouldnt allow it and said it would have to be the Friday.

Lets just blame the FAI....that should please everyone.

Harps equalize through a Gethins penalty right on the FT whistle.

Nice.

Finished 0-0 between Sligo and Bohs at the Showgrounds.

**irishultra** · 18/04/2009, 8:55 PM

come on, great comeback.

re: my derry comments last night, in fairness i was down the other end of the ground when derry were attacking in the first half and they were much better but i couldn't really see any of the passing moves very well from where I was. as i said to my friend at half-time the second half will be good as derry are shooting down this end, but unfortunately derry didn't really show up. i must have completely forgot about the last 5 mins, but my last memory of the game was the block by the bray central defender after morros cross.
