FAO Derry City Fans

lads - just back from the game - really enjoyed meself and only the result dissapointed
Have to say tho , that 10 min after the game ended when both sets of us sang along together and applauded each other was very moving - Think both sets of fans tonite showed how special we really are and are a credit to our clubs
I always had a soft spot for derry and tonite has just re-inforced that ...wonder if any journo's bothered to notice two sets of fans behaving in that manner

Just back now after dropping you home!! I have to second what you said about the Derry fans. To see two sets of fans applauding each other for 10 minutes after the game was something special.

Pity about the result.

The atmosphere came across well on the TV too, a good advert for the league.

Yeah and you'll be happy to hear that the lowest common denominator was Shels. We were singing your praises throughout the game.

Fantastic.

However you'll be a long time waiting before you ever hear us sing about Cork or Derry in a match not involving either one of you. Tells it's own story

Whatever happened to rivalry in football, you're meant to hate the opposition!

**joeraki** · 20/08/2005, 8:48 PM

Love in's.

Another farcical thing unique to the EL

**Speranza** · 20/08/2005, 9:19 PM

Yeah because a pitched terrace battle involving the 200 odd cork fans and the derry fans are exactly what our league needs? Idiot!
