I have no way of checking it out, I'm asking you where did you get your figures from?
Ronan Forde. They have 3 keepers - Ronan Forde, Ronan Burke and Martin Mannion, and Forde is by far the best of them. As for Terryland, cracking point for us considering the players we were missing. Barry Ryan the MOTM by a country mile, if it wasn't for him, Sligo would have scored 3 or 4. Good turnout by Sligo fans - doubt we would bring 150 up there midweek - but a pity a few of them thought mocking those who have lost their lives at seas in Galway was a good idea (quite personal to me). I can imagine what would happoen if we turn up with 'Ronnie Dunbar - boyfriend of the year' flags in the fairgrounds in July

Sam what you have to remember is the difference in the crowds derry get compared to Harps if Derry average 2k people per match at average of 10 per head thats 20k stirling per fortnight or £10k per week the budget is including Kennys salary and 18 players on the books, my mathematics makes that £3k profit for away trips etc per week before any sponsorship or fund raising activities takes place. Our budget has been severley cut this year, £7k for rhe whole club is reasonable for the crowds we get
Hope you're not a maths teacher. Few points
Of your 2,000- deduct just over a 1000 as season ticket holders for which due to the Wellvan fiasco we didn't get any money for
Moving to the remaining thousand- Average for concessionaries is around 60% so that means average revenue is less than a tenner a head.
From that, deduct 17.5% VAT on gate receipts.
Not 18 players on the books, 21.
I could go on, but you get the idea.
I'll take your word for that. I like the majority of folk in the ground was baffled at the decision.
Is there any video footage going to be online any time soon of the game? I would love to see some of the highlights again, if Im wrong with my take on the refs decisions then I will gladly eat humble pie.
Apologies if I did, just hit a raw nerve. It was the Galway City crest and not the United one, on the display, and said Fisherman's End (rather than United end) which, given our link with the sea, and the tragedy that goes with it, struck me as not being about United. As I said, apologies if I got it wrong, I have form for over-reacting!!

Seemed to be Harps came to stop Derry's teenagers from playing and expressing themselves the way they have been in recent weeks.You cant fault them for that but how anyone can say that it was Derry that was physical is beyond a joke.
For the entire game harps players were leaving the boot in after half their tackles and the ref had warned players time after time.
For the re-taken free for the goal!!!! FFS what did you expect the ref to do when as McLean hit the free Doherty? was within two feet of him.
I agree that McLean should have just celebrated the goal without winding the player up.
It looked like it was actually Scoltock that blocked Funston after the goal,but Funston did hit 2 Derry players as the players were leaving the pitch.
I was shocked at how low the Harps crowd was,no way did you's even fill section A never mind section B.A poor home crowd as well for a derby game but I suppose we cant complain when it's a Tues night and I'm sure all clubs in Ireland would be happy with that.
With Waterford dropping points again I'm getting more confident that we can be in the top two at worst come the end of the season and with the great football the youngsters are playing it's a joy to watch.
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
1. Doherty was at the other side of the pitch not beside McLean, he purposely ran across the pitch at Doc.
2. Blocked Funston? It was as the Derry players were running back into their half, Mickey was on the half way line. How do you block someone that was standing still?
Obviously then it wasn't Doherty that ran at the free kick which is why I put the ? in my post.But something must have been said for McLean to run over and goad him and I'm not condoning it BTW.
I'm sure it was Scoltock that did bump into Funston after the goal.
Sam, Derry's teenagers played you's off the park,that you must admit.As for our players budget-I've heard it's around the £5k mark and not the £7k you're suggesting.
Are you's looking forward to returning next Monday?
Oh and were you impressed with our giant video screen? Wasn't it great to see the replays of the free kick for the goal a few times lol
