Derry City 1-2 Sligo Rovers match thread

[Rovers1]

as for the cup game - get your fans to keep their clothes on otherwise rte will have to move kick-off to after the watershed. :d

never!

[Well Red]

Would not be critical of the number of Sligo fans in Derry, at the end of a day is costs a few quid, petrol, food, match tickets and a glass or two of something to celebrate, which is what we have been doing a lot of lately.
We have had a fair bit of travelling with two matches a week and in my opinion we have the best fans in the country and I think we are going to have a lot to shout about before the end of the season. The BOR is in our veins, if you do not believe this then ask your quack to give you confirmation.
Come on you Reds.

It was hard to know how may Rovers fans were at the game, half of them seem to want to sit in with the Derry fans. I can't understand it?

great victory, derry were poor but we still had to go out and grind out the win. well done to all the players. the whole thing has changed and improved so much since the first half of the season. hopefully kelly will shake off the knock he picked up aswell before friday

i really think that next season, if we keep this group of players together and management i really think rovers can be in the top 3 or 4 in the league. we're 4 points off 5th now and with the start of the season we had no one could have thought that. a couple of signings in july made a big difference to our season, and another couple of good additions, along with keeping our own in the off season would be fantastic. i know theres obviously all the rumours regarding one player, but who knows he might change his mind if we win the cup and stay up. same with anyone else who might have left. im sure a few may go but hopefully the majority stay. especially raff, boco and peersy.

All Sligo Rovers fans are odd, but some are more odd than others.
The ones that sit amongst the home support when we are away being the oddest. They do this because altough they love Rovers they are a little bit embarrased by it. If Rovers are getting trounced they can pretend that they're not really with those losers,or if we've safely won the game, all stand up and clap. Kinda hedging your bets rather than nailing your colours to the wall from the start. We've got alot of these guys, i think its because we've been sh1t for so long they're afraid to stand up and say they're proud to be a Rovers fan. I couldnt give a toss what other people think, I'm proud to be a Rovers fan.

To be honest the only thing i will say is that with the Brandywell it's such a poor view from the away section, i would say some moved up a little bit for a better view, i am guessing. Good craic last night though, loved the Ventre dummy and the ball he sent into orbit late in the game

Well I've heard it all now.

Although the competition is very strong, this has to be the biggest load of rubbish ever posted on this forum!

TBH redie 50% is tongue in cheek, 50% truthfully honest.
The first game in Tallaght was a good example. Of the fans that were lucky to be there most got involved in the occasion, atmosphere despite the result. But i know three guys who sat as close to the away fans as possible even though they didnt have too as not many people used the seats,then got up and left with about 20 minutes to go because we were getting slaughtered. If the score was the other way around would they have left, no they would have clapped the lads off the pitch.

Whats your theory on why Rovers fans sit with the home teams fans?

The subject is not worthy of a second thought, let alone a theory.

Well 5 people (including yourself) thought it was worth posting about.

We need to show the players we are all behind them at away games. At the Bohs Cup game we were put into a small segregated section of the stand, everyone had to stand together and the atmosphere was great.

[bingoballs]

Just had a look at the game. Yees were 100% full value for your win. Goal of the month from Boco for sure. As for the cup game - get your fans to keep their clothes on otherwise RTE will have to move kick-off to after the watershed.

So RTE do censor us!

Its definitely the sh1t view from where derry put the away support.

[CF1989]

i cant stand when we dont all bunch up together at away games. really baffles me. the whole away support spread out over a few sections of a stand. we seen against pats, the whole away support bunched into one area and it was class, great atmosphere and everyone got involved in the singing
