They'll probably give first preference for tickets to the next round to people who went to this one.

The Derry game was the main piece on the RTE's late sport news tonight. It looked like the keeper let it in

Nice one. Well done to ye. Looks like a savage night was had.

**Blue Man** · 24/07/2009, 2:07 AM

Lets be fair, the keeper had a few quid on that one!!

But seriously well done Derry. showed a lot of heart tonight. and what is with the likes of Hairy Bowsie?? Is there people that want this league to fail?? Every victory strengthens out position. I just find it ridiculous that people are against OUR teams. I dont care who he/she follows but this is a league forum and in my eyes we should follow our league and clubs.

If not, confine yourself to your own club section. talk about your trip to Ballybofey or Lissywollen all you like, but this is our European representatives so if no positives arouses your post, leave it out will ya. Great night all round, best of luck to all in the next round

Well done Pats and us.

Sligo should have been in this round as I watched it online and they should have won easy.

Last night..............Bohs...........what can I say.....................so in control and then fuked up.

Shams did great V Real so all in all a great week for us LOI fans.

Bizarre stuff that RTE showed the goal or that the keeper let it in?

Having seen both games ie Derry and Bohs, the difference in the tactics couldn't have been more glaring, Bohs who only needed a scoreless draw played for a scoreless draw and paid the penalty. Derry who also only needed a scoreless draw went at Skonto from start to finish, and it proved the right attitude as Derry could have won this game by more. Well done Pats for a remarkable result, but i'm afraid the blame for Bohs departure lies firmly on the shoulders of Pat Fenlon.

Jezus H, even in your moment of glory you can think of nothing but having a go at Nutsey ! yes, Fenlon deliberately got Rossi to balls up the back pass just so we would lose - well spotted. Truth is he was gutted we had got that close to progressing and was dreading that trip to Zagreb ! the fact that RBS are a better team than Skonto is, of course, irrelevant in the matter.

Again, well done Derry (including ex Bohs manager Stephen Kenny) and best of luck in the next round.

There is a big difference between Skonto and RBS though. Still doesn't mean they shouldn't have at least triedto hold onto the ball and attack.

Worse than the Dundalk keeper falling over the line with the ball a few years ago?

I think it was the last time we were in the first division, 2004. Tony McDonnell headed the ball at goal, the keeper caught it on the line but lost his balance and fell over the line. I haven't seen the Fingal one, there isn't a video of it is there?

He caught the ball and walked backwards over the line.
