LOI tv came back thank God. Great win for Pats. Derry must be absolutely sick. To lose one shootout in 4 days is unfortunate, to lose two..............

Derry had the better of the play, but we defended well and probably had the best two chances with Curtis and Lonergan. Dreaming of the Aviva now .......

2 shootout losses in less than 72 hours will be hard to take. Be interesting to see how they react in the league.

Home draw on Tuesday is the hope.

Derry looked miles better than Pats for most of it ,Joe Redmond is immense though and should be looking for a raise or a move acros the water,terrible penalties from Duffy and Mulreaney who was shocking when he came on I thought....
Cup looks wide open now,Pats,Bohs and Dundalk will fancy their chances...

I�ll take it. We played poor and I�m delighted to come out on top. The security in the Brandywell should take a chill pill very over the top these days.

I would imagine he�s on about the time when he was playing with us

Hard to believe when you see a lad of 15 like Mason Melia step up and score a peno especially compared to Mulraneys effort.

**SwanVsDalton** · 20/08/2023, 7:41 PM

All part of our grand plan to win the league lads*!

Philip Quinn had an excellent article in the Mail on Sunday today about the FAIs lack of preparation with the storm last friday and the FAI cup. He has some great points that the FAI have more immediate realities which is a sad reflection !

So Philip has yet to realise that the FAI couldn�t arrange a pint of Guinness in St James Gate. I�d feel for anyone expecting anything from that shower of wasters.

We were dreadful for the most part but we through to the quarter finals and that's all that matters.

Absolutely. I had big reservations about asking a lad of that age to step up, but fair play to him. Magnificent. I don�t think anyone would have blamed him if he�d missed. I didn�t fancy Mulraney with his penalty funnily enough. He strikes me as that kind of a hot and cold player. Capable of great moments, but inconsistent.

A near sighted badger could score a penalty against Derry these days in fairness.

Spot on, hit the target against Brian Maher in a shootout and you�ve scored. That�s Ireland vs Israel U21 European championship playoff game, the Tobol game and now today's one that he�s failed to save a penalty in. Good goalkeeper but it�s a real weak point in his game

Jake Mulraney says different.

Mason Melia is only 15 years old. Incredible nerve to step up and score

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 21/08/2023, 7:59 AM

Funny watching Mahers antics during the shootout. Feck all use it did him.

Well aware of Rocky�s clubs, he�s a mate.
was surprised to hear a bohs fan mention him as a Sligo player first, that�s all .
no offence meant.

Keeper pulled off a couple of fine stops too, and the two centre backs kept Afolabi quiet for 20 minutes anyway( with extreme difficulty)but a 3-0 ht was kind to them, as was the final score.
Home draw next is all I�d like, don�t fear anyone left, our names on it anyhow.

I'd be very surprised if you don't get Drogheda next - probably at home.
