2-2 in Oriel. Fantastic result for Derry.
Currently 2 nil to City in Dalymount.
Comfortable win for City against Bohs without playing well. Watts looks very good.
Bradley sacked in the morning?
Limerick have equalised in Tallaght!
Limerick scored a goal! The prophecy has been fulfilled!
That’s the difference at the top. Play below par and still do enough to win.
Shamrock Rovers either win or lose, so at least they got a draw. Not an easy game for them next week though against a Derry team that were behind twice against Dundalk and drew. Cork were in 2nd gear, but Watts for Bohs looks like a really good talent. Waterford still impressing a third of the way in, 8 wins out of 12 is dream stuff.
Two points dropped by Dundalk. Should have been well in front at half time, but a combination of poor decisions in the final third and a soft penalty meant Dundalk only had a one goal advantage at half time.
The game became very scrappy in the second half as Derry succeeded in disrupting Dundalk's pattern of play. A whistle happy referee played a part in disrupting the game too.
Derry worked very hard for their point but Dundalk's killer instinct was absent tonight.

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Thoroughly enjoyable game in oriel tonight.
Dundalk should have been out of sight by half time but some awful refereeing allowed derry back in.
Derry are a pretty good side and should be a tough text for the other big 2 cork and waterford
I thought Dundalk were very good in the first half, but two sloppy goals really, the peno was clumsy and went to sleep for second, not sure we did enough in the second half to win the game. Disappointing outcome but I’d probably think a draw was a fair outcome.
Need to improve for next Friday night, and get Ronan Murray back into the side.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Finn Harps were terrible. Cabinteely were worse. A truly terrible game of football.

Really good game at Oriel tonight and a great, battling point from a Derry perspective.
Thought we made a pretty slow start and Dundalk took advantage. The first goal set the tone for some very poor defending in the first half - in truth, Dundalk looked like they'd score every time they went forward mostly due to our raggedness at the back.
But we really grew into the game as the first half went on and played some nice stuff, with our midfield really getting into the game. Thought the pen was a pen, even if it was 'soft' - contact in the box, it's a pen.
Absolute kick in the teeth to concede before half time, especially with more poor defending, but brilliant to see us get back into it in the second half. The rest of it was scrappy and handbaggy, but thought we were full value for a point.
Dundalk seemed a bit below par, especially on the ball going forward.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Dundalk's(& Derry sometimes) raggedness aided by the fussiest ref i've seen in oriel for sometime.
Derry worth the point in the end but the ref(and i rarely blame a ref)was pulling us back for free-kicks for US when the obvious thing to do was play the damn advantage!!
He was fine 1st half but caught whistle fever 2nd one.
Enjoyable game overall though.
Classic KS

Ref was atrocious, but the main game defining decision went Derry's way, with a soft penalty award. Gavin Peers red on 86 mins came too late to have much impact.
KS is right to point out that Hoare could easily have got a yellow in the first half but really OTT nonsense to suggest it could have been a red. KS was like a cartoon villain playing a slapstick comedy act on the sideline - entertaining stuff
Two points dropped from Dundalk's perspective
Plenty of peeps on here last year slating KS, those who said he was a comedian aren't laughing now, Derry have a quiet purpose about them and bad start aside are definitely in the top 3 this year.Classic KS

KS was hilarious in his madcap comments last year and perhaps even more so this year. He has a full-on comedy routine going-on and some of it would rival any pantomime.
This should not be confused with the reality that he is obviously an excellent manager who is developing an excellent side who play attractive football.
