Derry City v Cork City..

**kevin_devine** · 20/08/2005, 4:06 AM

did it involve Felix Healy by any chance???

What can you expect when you send a match analyst(if thats what you would call him) to a place where he is hated by most fans, do that anywhere and you'll get chants like that

Well done to Derry, they deserved the 3points, went at cork from the start and took their chances.
McCourt was great in the 1st half but disappeared in the 2nd really.
Hard luck to cork, unlucky on a number of occasions. Tuite was a bit inconsistant esp inrelation to the penalty given and the penalty denied...but overall handled discipline etc well,

Well done to both sets of fans, sounded like an amazing atmosphere. You're a credit to the league

I thought Felix Healy did a good job and on numerous occasions he mentioned "the passion of the Brandywell", "Special Nights".

yeah, felt a bit for Felix Healy, thought he did a good job on the tv... I'd listen to him before Collins, Matthews, Dolan and Doolin.

You should give him more credit. I don't know what he did that was so bad but you kinda let yourself down with the abuse.

Great game and great result......... Does anyone else believe Pat Dolan wants to have George O'Calaghan's babies. If he's that good why didn't he start? Pat McCourt faded in the second half but he played for the Northern Ireland U21's midweek in a friendly! Not ideal preparation for Derry's biggest game of the season....

Felix advised Derry people not to go to Derry friendly against Real Madrid, as it would be no better than watching Prestron or the like. Given that we were in severe financial difficulties at the time, this was inexcusable.

There are so many more things that he has done to harm Derry, which I ill not mention, that he will never be forgiven.

It was summed up perfectly with a banner which read "We hate you because we loved you so much"

He can talk his empty words to the watching public, but in the Brandywell he is and forever will be a pariah.

I saw a Derry City flag at the game and something like "QUBSC always on tour" with a Derry crest and some other crest. Whats QUBSC?

fair enough but the public in general will never know that and the public will generally feel apathy towards a man abused live on national T.V.

As good and clear as the derry vocals are, it was painfully clear that he is a hated man but who in god's name knows why outside Derry and now foot.

That's football. Who cares. I'd say anyone watching last night was bowled-over by the Derry support - not nit-picking over one chant that was sang clearly only about twice in 100mins....

Was it a full house last night?

Dunno - but they were all certainly full when they got back to the houses in the wee small hours of this morning......

Nope,

Stand was full but there was space in the standing sections

He is his agent, what more can you expect.

Dolan was very popular in the pub afterwards from what I hear. Was in a different pub myself but apparently he was in having a good laugh with all the City fans and people were even buying him champagne and everything.
I was delighted, it's only right.

Just the outcome of the meetings hes having with Kearney etc. ..... Himself and some suit in Mahon Point ..... might have been a good time to break it to City fans.

I don't know if he was talking about Kearney or not, as I said I was actually in a different pub myself.

It'd hardly be breaking news anyway, we all know the way Kearney's being messed around about his contract at the moment. There was a lot of talk about it amongst the City fans up there alright, it seems Kearney isn't as shy and quiet as I thought.
