Cork City v Derry City

**Fair_play_boy** · 05/11/2004, 11:39 PM

Sorry lads. The penalty was a travesty. Derry City deserved all three points. I was a few feet away from the incident. Your keeper (Forde?) clearly tapped the ball away with his fingers. No way did he foul the player coming in.
I reckon the ref was making up for earlier bad decisions.
Disgraceful. Ruined a fair result. I know I may be slaughtered for making these comments but the truth is the best.
Mind you, the keeper and Doyle had a bit of a dance going for a while in the ten minutes before the penalty decision. Three or four corners in a row, they were jostling each other fairly hard. I saw Doyle kicking back at Forde, after Forde had elbowed him into the skull. Not pretty.
Overall I thought Derry City played the better football, and ye were worth a better result. I hope the supporters were shown a good time around Cork after the match.

Yes-good to see a side with nothing much to play for putting it up to the leading sides - same applies to Longford.

City did the same a few years ago when they sucker punched Shels on the last day!

Wan't at the game but a few people I was talking to agreed with the above comments.

Penalty very dodgy, good performance from Derry.

Looks like Kenny is building a decent team for next season. It would be good for Derry to be back challenging at the top of the table again.

I agree with you all........Derry were great......and I'm 100% it wasn't a penalty...I was close to the incident and hand on my heart, I'm a Cork lady but Derry should have took the 3 points

I think by "leading sides" he meant the first two teams in the table who are challenging for the title and undecided places in Europe as opposed to Longford and Derry who aren't.

Note to self - Be MUCH more specific with my posts in case Max might read them, take them up the wrong way and get upset.

I know Longford are in Europe, which why I said "undecided " Euro places ie the Champions league and second UEFA Cup spot, which I believe have yet to be decided, as opposed to Longford's UEFA cup place, which has been decided.
