Weekend of July 8th

We're far too deep. Amazing save from the free by Doherty

Had Rovers played the first hour like the last half hour, the scoreline would most likely be different

St.Johnstone could be switching attention from Mannus to Doherty after this. Could be one in the eye for Worthington too - if he actually bothered to watch what happens in the Brandy.

It's easier to play like that when the opposition decides to plant ten men in their own half.

**Predator** · 08/07/2011, 8:26 PM

Ryan McBride rightfully man of the match.

And even then McClean has smashed two great chances wide and Mannus had to make a great save from another.

Derry wouldn't be letting yous play like that were we not 1-0 up.

**DannyInvincible** · 08/07/2011, 8:27 PM

Doherty again. He's had an unbelievable game.

Certainly. Worthington now has a taste for poaching players who've played for the FAI.

Great result for Derry!

It's fair to say we footballed better and for longer.

Interestingly, as Richard Sadliay pointed out, the referee had signalled an indirect free-kick. If Mannus hadn't bothered touching it and just let it go in, it wouldn't have counted.

**legendz** · 08/07/2011, 8:37 PM

Should the Derry goal go down as a Mannus own goal? The referee indicated an indirect free kick. If Mannus left it, the goal could not have counted. As the Mannus touch was the reason the goal was legitimate, surely it his own goal? I know it's not a goal he wants but them's the breaks.

I thought that when I saw it go in, because George and Rico made a big deal of it being indirect. Then I assumed it was their mistake...only makes it more comical.

2-1! Yusssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

**micls** · 08/07/2011, 8:39 PM

Made things difficult for ourselves tonight because of awful finishing by the sounds of it, but if Wexford can hold on against Mons it'l be a good night for us.
