Early goal for Shels at home to Drogheda to make things interesting.

Imagine Derry finishing 4th and having to win the cup to get Europe.
Did I see that,in a game Derry simply had to win, Colm Whelan was only brought on at half time?!?!
Your manager should be fired for his complete inability to rouse a very decent squad of players into a title winning team.
So if rovers can beat Dundalk Sunday and waterford next Friday it comes down to this. Shels beat derry on last day to win the league
The boys on LOI TV at the Pats game have said all night if Derry don't win and Shels win, leagues over
They congratulated Shels when the final whistle went
Keith Tracy who is on every radio show about the league of Ireland was the co-commentar
It's things like this that make us look some amateur, like Tracy has been on off the ball all week and they talked about the end of the season loads
Big win for Shels. Pat's and Derry out of the title race. Derry at the moment are likely to finish 4th. Pat's face a potential banana skin on the final day. After an amazing run and seemingly most of the hard work done, it'll be a major disappointment to fall at the final hurdle.
Glad Shels have started winning again to keep this interesting. Pat's final 1/4 of the season is incredible, just ran out of road. I don't think there's much shame in Derry losing tonight, the damage was done elsewhere, Pat's have beaten everyone in the run in.
Would really expect Rovers to win both their matches, so it is all down to Shels n Derry.
A great end to the season, just a pity Derry and Pat's aren't still in it too
Higgins has to be the bggest let down of a manager. People would have broken the bank to appoint him, Derry did, backed him, and he could probably should have a league and be heading for a double this season, great coach average manager and its not like that Derry side are inexperienced or leaderless.
If there is an example of where thing were going wrong at Dundalk its seeing Gannon let go and still picking up potm and on the verge of another league medal.
Wonder which of their last two games Derry will be more focused on?
Beat Drogheda and they're in Europe regardless of the result v Shels.
But they could beat Shels and not get Europe
Could suit Shels
Gannon must be close to being most decorated footballer in LOI history?
A very good job done by Duff and joey O Brien with Europe secured.
I really wish Galway would start their best players, especially Essua, rather than wait till half-time.
Great premier division season, the best ever I would say in terms debt of quality looking at the players available to Drogheda and Dundalk for example.
A brilliant match tonight in Terryland. We really should have scored 4 or 5, but our inability to score freely has been our biggest blight this season. Having said that, the lads never gave up and got their reward. No Europe, but completely safe, and good foundations for next season.
And the run continues for Pats. 1 more win off equalling the clubs record number of wins in consistency. What a decision that was by Higgins to let Brandon Kavanagh go to Pats despite still having a year left on his contract. 6 goals and 14 assists this season, he really could’ve been a difference maker for them in the title race with his output but judging by the fact that he started in just 11 of his 29 appearances for them last season, Huggins probably would’ve either left him on the bench or played him out of position on the wing. Delighted to have him at Pats all the same!

Some run of form for Pats to end the season,the difference in a quality manager compared to what Derry have been doing in the last 2 months,maybe a cup win saves his job but you’d expect there to be some serious discussions in Derry about the manager…..
Still think Rovers will win the league though,Shels won’t relish going up there if they need to win I don’t think…..

That's assuming South Dublin County Council F.C. beat D*****k of course.. Its possible Duff has it won tonight! If so, its a good achievement for him in fairness even though they fell over the line.Originally Posted by joey B
I’m not sure we win on `Sunday. If we do I think we win it all but just have a bad feeling….. we never win there !
Higgins won't be there even if he had won the double. As a Derry fan, what's the craic next week ? Bend over for Duff and rest up for the final?
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
I suppose you’ll still be aiming to stay in the top 3 just in case the cup final goes pear shaped….,,

Higgins long ago lost the faith of the fans but I'd say this has sealed that deal. Not sure who you'd replace him with mind. Derry likely in for a barren spell with improvements elsewhere. The squad, while looking strong and costing a lot, is old, thin in spots and perma-injured. Not great.
Weirdly not a bad performance relative to some of the recent ones. The damage was done against Drogs, Galway, Sligo, Boys etc etc. That save by Anang something else, although having seen the replay Duffy should probably score regardless.
A few Pats fans being very aggro at the end, decent numbers of empty bottles thrown and that. Was a bit surprised. Not a terribly big deal, just mentioning cause if it was in the Brandywell those pearls wouldn't go unclutched.
