Dont you get like 390k for each round?Pats will have to spend a good bit of that on travel to Russia of all places?Will they all get visas?
I was watching the betting in-running in this game and deffo some bookmakers were way out of sync coming close to half time with where the price should have been even if Derry had been camped in their half. Just seeing that says a lot. But big well done Derry and Pats.

Far too savage a night for me. Great result, not an amazing game, and an awful but fantastic goal. When Deery hit it there were about 10 people around me saying "look at the state of that ****e," finishing their sentance just as the ball nestled into the back of the net. I can't speak today.

Any dogs a**e knows that if you play for a draw, you are likely to get caught out sometime in the game. The fact it was in the last three minutes is irrelivent. Fenlon was responsible as he had his players playing with their backs to the wall, when they could have been playing the game at the other end. As for RBS being better than Skonto, well they sure didn't look better than Skonto, as Skonto played very well, but RBS were rubbish. If Bohs had of taken the game to them, i'm sure they would have won.
I was at the bohs game and RBS were on another planet when it came to football ability, technique and strength and conditioning of their players.Any dogs a**e knows that if you play for a draw, you are likely to get caught out sometime in the game.

If Bohs had come out and played they would have lost handily. They played the only way that gave them a chance - 10 men behind the ball and ride their luck.
Doesn't matter who the team is, breaking down an organised 10 men is difficult as RBS showed. Thats why this game is great, it gives inferior teams, with less quality and ability, a chance of upsetting a superior teams.
Anytime Bohs tried to play ball they lost it in dangerous areas and gave RBS a chance to score. In fact they never looked like conceeding when they didn't have the ball such was they defensive organisation.
But to suggest that they should of gone on the attack for the game, and that the result would have been anything other than a whopping defeat I think is unrealistic - much as i day i hope to be wrong.
No they weren't on any other planet or anything like it. Ireland played Italy a while back and Italy completely set off Ireland allowing players like Whelan to appear as Xaviesque.
When Bohs actually got up and supported and actually looked to play positive football they looked just as much as a threat as Salzburg. Red Bull had absolutely no creativity...AT ALL. They never looked like scoring.
full time clubs like bohs this shouldnt be a problem. but i suppose when you look at the european side we come up against we do look a bit weak. do LOI clubs do much work in the gym ??I was at the bohs game and RBS were on another planet when it came to football ability, technique and strength and conditioning of their players.
