Derry City 3-0 UCD

[CollegeTillIDie]

Surprisingly there has been some commentary slots on this game albeit short ones..... not so surprisingly Mark Farren has scored to make it 1-0 to Occupied Territories XI

[Poor Student]

Sounds like it was a mistake by Micko.

Yes that seems to be the case. Just listening to the half-time summary. The commentator reckons Derry are certain to win.....

[Poor Student]

Sounds like what McNally did against Longford in Flancare earlier this season when Myler scored. Couldn't deal with high long ball. Deffensive gaffes have cost us points this year.

[Poor Student]

By the way I have full faith in our lads to get back into this one. We've done it several times this season and as long as there's one goal in it we can take something from the game.

Ok, that's a load of ********. 2-0 down.

3-0 down game over goodnight goodbye

[Poor Student]

Scored while our defence froze because the linesman flagged offside and the ref ignored. One of our lads was booked for moaning.

You're right, still a bit annoying though. At least we were beaten by one of the best and possibly a team who could still be champions. Hopefully we avoided any injuries. He took Tony Mac off which I found a bit bizarre.

He took off the only player who added height to the equation and replaced him with the smallest one Brian Gannon.... Robbie Martin was only a sub he must have been either injured or dropped. Hasn't scored in a while .......

[Poor Student]

Robbie Martin didn't play last week against Pats as he was injured. According to aertel he faced a late fitness test today. I expect him to be back in next week. He hasn't been scoring for two reasons, for one we barely score and secondly he's spent a great deal of time on the wing.

True enough but he still should have scored more than 3 goals this season in spite of our pathetic goals for tally.

Dreadful performance, we couldn't pass the ball, control the ball, head the ball or take throw-ins in any sort of competant way. It was a horrible mistake from Micko for the first goal. He headed a Derry crossfield ball from the left side of our box towards Quigley but got about half as much distance on it as he should have and a Derry plaer got onto it and passed it to Farren who had an easy enough finish. It was similar to the goal we conceded in Drogheda. Can't really complain though because they were all over us in the first half (think we barely had a shot on target!) and were killing us down our left flank.

The goal straight after half time killed it off. I'm not really sure what happened because it was down the opposite end of the ground from me, it looked like a defensive mix-up of some sort and Quigley ended up out of position and the Derry player was able to lob it over him. Robbie Martin came on soon after that I think and did well, easily our best player on the night. He's just back from injury which is why he didn't start. He caused problems for the Derry defence when he ran at them and has to start up front in future as he's been completely wasted on the wing. Tony Mac was ill according to the doctor so that's why he came off, Gannon did well on the right when he came on but I think Derry had eased off at that stage.

Schumi were you phoning me before the game last night

[Poor Student]

I don't like to slate Mick but he's a liability at the back. We need a left winger and a left back. Did Anto Murphy play on the right? Perhaps Tony's illness played a part in us being so poor. I hope to God he's fit next week and I hope Martin plays up front next week.

Mick is only playing left-full because of Robbie McAuley's long term injury problems. Perhaps the time has come to call up Aaron McEniff assuming he is still with the club. Apparently a lot of the Under 21's flew the coop recently.

Did we try to lob the keeper at any point?

I know that but he's just not good enough for that position.

What? Where did you hear that? Where did they go? Know of anyone who left for sure?

Darren O'Brien II is gone and some of the others. Apparently they were promised that they would be the first team in the League Cup. When the quarter-final came around, the starting team was announced replete with a lot of first teamers and that was it.

There was no further communication with the Under 21's. Some of them got ****ed off with this and decided to **** off permanently. I heard this from the Dad of an Under 21 who works in my building. The young fellow concerned has decided to stay on... which in the circumstances was wise.
