Paddy Barrett....
Paddy f***ing Barrett
Centre Half. Edge of the box, switches onto his left foot and curls it beautifully into the top corner, and he tops that by smashing one from 40 yards with his right foot.
Hes on a perfect hattrick and Kenny takes him off.
Couldn't get to Terryland tonight, but great to see Galway into the semi-final. I was impressed with Paddy Barrett when he was here for 2nd half of last season.
After the Derry match on Friday, Kenny was saying that Paddy Barrett strikes the ball like Ronald Koeman. It was more like Ronald McDonald during that game though.
Say Boyle is out suspended and Gartland and Barrett start..well they'd hardly be bullied much at least!
That's the difference between Cork and Dundalk: Cork's defenders won't be bullied either, but they wouldn't disgrace themselves by committing a foul in the process. The fact you'd even entertain the idea of a Dundalk player being suspended shows just how far you have to come up there and shows Stephen Kenny's football revolution up for the sham that it is.
Rovers 1-0 up in Derry.
Pats also lead in Cork, Bayly with the goal on the hour.
Finished Derry 0 - 1 Rovers
Cork 1 - 1 Pats, going to extra time.
It's gone to penalties.
Pats won 5-3 on penalties.
Pats will have (I'd imagine) one of McCormack/Chambers, Bermingham and Byrne start. Forrester will too but don't think he touched the ball before his penalty.
Enjoyable game to be fair. Big positives for Pats with the performances of Bayly, McGrath and Markey.
