    A bad day at the office for us, easily the worst 1st half we've played in years. The players & staff know that and, in truth, Pats away was never a target to garner points. The manner of the defeat hurts, but if lessons have been learned, it's still early enough to be of value

At a minimum these tourist hooligans would stand out if entering the closest area to away support. Eh I doubt there isnt a Bohs fan somewhere who knows damn well who they are, and that they were on their way over.
    Well I'm sure whoever asked them over knows who they are.

    But I doubt those are the people who'd want to see them banned.

    Just seen our team for tonight. I've lumped on Derry -1 and -2.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Problem I see with that is that as far as I know its only the big away crowds that are housed in the school end, most games games they're in the shopping centre end of the Jodi. As far as I know that's the case but happy to be corrected if not. If they had kept the ground in shape they could house Rovers fans in the Connaught Street end like they used to which would probably help but they didn't/couldn't so can't do that. Its getting done up soon anyway so hopefully they consider incidents like last night and build in a way of preventing them.

    Any chance of getting a seperate thread for the Rovers v Bohs stuff?
    It'll make it much easier for the national rags to get their material for the sensational story lines.

    Can't believe nobody has posted up about the shock result in Limerick this evening yet.

    Cabinteely kept it down to three goals.

    Derry just equalised against Longford, a screamer from Patrick McClean.

    Patterson missed a first half pen, terrible strike.

    I couldn't make the game so I'm happy enough to donate the 30 odd quid I put on (that's lumping on by my betting standards) to the gods of fortune. Our team on paper was weak.

    They were actually not too bad, a fairly decent side defensively.

    EDIT: in their warm up kit, they do possess one of the ugliest pieces of football kit I have ever seen.

    To be honest, I'm pretty surprised by that result. Glad to see Longford getting a point as they need something to get their season going.

    Big changes on the team sheet, big changes in effort and a big change in the result from last week! We made 4 changes from last week with Mark Rossiter and Don Cowan coming in along with first league starts for John McKeown and Tristan Noack Hofmann. From the outset there was a lot of effort shown by the team. I was impressed with McKeown and Hofmann, put themselves about and weren't afraid to look for the ball. Very unlucky not to have the chance to win it when Haverty was pulled down in the box near the end but I shouldn't be surprised we didn't get the pen as our old friend Sean Grant was reffing the game.

    If we can just keep the effort up as what was put in tonight, that's all the fans will ask for. We know we're in for a battle for survival this year and tonight the players proved they are up for that fight. Let's just hope it's not a one off!!

    I was impressed with Hofmann in preseason against Cabo. Delighted with the result - hope we keep going against Rovers next week.

    It was the best performance so far for me. The changes worked wonders for us. Thought John McKeown was MOM for us tonight he never let Derry settle and his delivery for Davy O Sullivans crackin header from a corner was ace! very impressed with Tristan as well. Heard tonight from our Under 17 manager and he told me that he and his dad are German but have bein living in Moyne for years and has come through our youth setup. He is a serious find. Skinner had an much improved performance for us tonight. Thought Derrys peno was never one but Pattersons effort was diabolical. Cowan worked hard up front with Sully. Cowan hasnt got back his full pace yet but destroyed his Derry opponent! there was nothin we could do with McLeans screamer it was world class.. imo it will be a contender for goal of the season thats how highly I rated it! Its a major boost to our confidence and maybe we may get a draw from the Showgrounds next week
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    McKeon was fantastic but O'Sullivan had to be MOTM. A fantastic goal and he worked himslef into the ground for the team. Skinner made one top class save in the first half but he got lucky With the peno and even luckier when he spilt a cross straight to Patsrson in the second half only for us to block it. Much much improved performance and a great atmosphere around the ground for the first time tonight. I think we've turned a corner. A win in Sligo would just be superb. Cmon de town.

    Important win for Harps, after 2 defeats back to back and 3 games in 7 days was important to have some points to show for it especially with the team's around us dropping points.

    Not a single comment so far from a Cork fan on the weekend games, things surely are not that bad? mid table maybe but it is only April.

    By all accounts from Galway a draw was a fair result? I'd be interested in Cork fans opinions on recent games, very good performance away to Dlk then 3 draws following that was a bit of a surprise.

    The result last night for Longford will give them a lot of encouragement, I think Sligo will also be happy with their performance in Dlk, both should pick up results over the next few weeks.

    Dundalk just scrapped by v Sligo, and with a big game on Friday v Rovers (live on tv) we may not even be top come next weekend, I think we will though.

    The re-scheduled Cork v Rovers is Monday week, so that's another big game. Very early days for all clubs, hoewever things might start to take shape towards the end of April, and will probably give an indication on how things might pan out.

    The overriding feeling is one of disappointment really. Dropping so many points including 2 games (Sligo and wexford) in games we should be expecting to win is frustrating. The draw is Galway wasn't a bad result as they have had a great start to the season. Against wexford it wasn't for a lack of creativity or effort as we could've blown them out of the water in that second half. It seems we are creating a lot but the conversion of those chances is the worry at the moment. A few home games now coming up and maximum points from those would put us right.
