poor punch from cherrie from a corner and mcnamee scores a peach 2-1 derry
another soft pen given by ref doyle patterson puts it in the same spot derry on top this half
Town 1-0 up in Wexford, that man Davy O'Sullivan again. Literally on fire as Jamie Redknapp would say. Town are down to ten men since be fore half time, Gillespie sent off. By all accounts he hasn't been contributing much when he's been on the pitch anyway.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
4-0 Rovers, Quigley. Sounds like Danny Ledwith is running the show out there, which begs the question why he's been left out to date.
McEleney has decided to have himself sent off at Oriel in an attempt to cancel out Rory Patterson's soft penalties.
F**ked

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
6-0... I should be happy, right?
The title challenge is back on!!!! Until sometime around 5.30 tomorrow!!
No less than SIX yellow cards tonight for Shels... over half the team booked.
Edit: it was five. Still hilarious.

Shels just need Barry Ferguson and Alan Reynolds to come out of retirement to boost the card count a bit.

Solid performance from Athlone. Deserved the win. Harps were poor attacking. Expected alot more from them
Thank goodness drogs won, I was certain shels would break their poor form against us
Have to say although we were good in the first 30 mins, Derry are one decent side, solid, great shape and in fairness fully deserved their win.
We are at least 3 quality players away from challenging these type of sides, but still happy with the season, we'll drop to 5th when pats beat shels mid week, if we finish there or even 6th it will be a great season.
Decent crowd just under 2k at the match, not all doom and gloom, but we have got to start winning games at home.........live on tv perhaps in weeks v cork maybe ?

Oblig mention for Drogs pen. How many's that now?? More than Shellers red cards i would reckon.
Is Rodgers always as whistle and card happy as he was tonight? 3 very soft yellows given within the first 10 minutes. Didn't look like it was going to happen for Drogs tonight, but Fabio changed it when he came on. I've no idea what Sava thought he was doing when he raced out of his box and made a mess of things which led to the corner for Shels goal. Don't think anyone would have had any complaints had Hughes gone down and probably would have been a red for Sava.
Good win tonight particularly after going one down and being totally outplayed in the first 30 minutes. Dundalk are a tidy team, our defence was getting a particularly tough time dealing with Byrne latching on to through balls.
As for the controversial incidents my gut instinct was the penalties were penalties and McEleney's sending off was harsh (cue cries of bias). Was far away from the first peno but it looked like he got shoved in midair. Second peno was clearly handball - definite case for ball to hand but it was a shot travelling goalwards and his hands should be down.
For the sending off was again at the far end, but seemed to me McEleney and the Dundalk striker were going 50/50 and the tumble was pretty soft. For there couldn't tell if the Dundalk player was actually going to get on to the ball or if they were just contesting it.
Either way we were good value for the first 25 minutes of the second half. Very composed and clinical, once again. We didn't have the necessarily the hottest starts against Shels, Bohs and now Dundalk but we've come up with comfortable results in each.

Derry sending off was a yellow card max. I was right on line with the defender. Never a sending off. First pen no way. Second yes, couldn't blame either ref or player, instinct reaction but pen. Actually thought madden challenge on 90 mins was inside box box but the ref ( who was awful) was never going to give a 3rd pen to the same team.
If Derry beat Sligo in next round it could be game on.......at last.

I thought the ref got all three big decisions wrong. Never a sending off and the two penalties were a joke.
Having said that the "foul" on Madden was inside the box, but would have been a harsh penalty.
I thought Derry would have created more. I was expecting a lot more from them. I think their gifted first penalty was the fist time they even got into the Dundalk box.
Rafter was very quiet, just like he was in the McCaffrey days.
I was in the minority of Derry fans who thought it was outside, he was pulling at him for yards before Madden actually went over. Can't believe he didn't at least get booked after McEleney got a straight red.
I'll take the Rafter comments cos I was miles away but the second was a pen. Keep your hands down. I couldn't tell where the shot was on target, but it was goalwards and had already flashed past the Dundalk players body before it hit his outstretched arm.
