QuoteKerry gifted Bray a goal. Proceeded to miss many chances. No goals scored in three games. Also arguably denied three penalties. Frustrating night.
Thats a St Pats peno imo!! 2 hand in the back, player goes over after what looked like even the smallest of shove. Silly to risk by Lopez. Important win. Draw was the fair result but so what this early i the season.
Oh yeah and Treaty get a late comeback of their own...

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
Tim Clancy lucky he was suspended for tonight’s game as he most certainly would be after watching that. Cork goal disallowed in the first half for nothing and then should have had 2 penalties in the second half one which would have been a straight red. We were awful second half but battled well after Conor Reynolds stupidly got himself sent off about a minute after coming on.
Derry battered Galway in the first half, missed about four good chances and then they scored from their one attack, a long throw-in that we didn't defend.
Then we got a penalty, possibly for no discernible reason.
Second half was mostly scrappy and more even, although Derry still should have had a couple of goals before Galway had a sitter in injury time after another defensive meltdown.
Weird game, so. However, while it wasn't brilliant, could actually see us with tempo and purpose tonight for the first time all season (and maybe in a year). The move to three at the back worked. There's some green shoots there and I'm taking it, because I can't do another weekend of abject fury. See yas next weekend.

You could have given me 100 guesses at the starting line up for the game tonight and I would have been nowhere near getting it right. Nice to see it wasnt just a change of personnel but also a change of system. Defo some teething pains in there but overall the team played well and worked hard. Well deserved win but the score line maybe flattered (2 goals were penalties after all). I hope this is a proper turnaround for us now and not another false dawn.
Galway amazingly nearly won it in the final minute at the Brandywell. Draw was a fair result on the overall play, but a terrible decision by the ref to give a penalty to the home side. Good debut overall by our new keeper I thought, on a very difficult surface.
Looking like it is going to be another competitive premier division this year.
Jesus, that decision for Derry's penalty's was dire. Yes, hickey's arm moved, but a ball hitting a shoulder still hits a shoulder.
Very poor performance from us in a low quality game. We had too many players looking at the man next to him to make something happen. In fairness to Rovers they scored a nice goal but a nil all would have been a fair result.
You’d have had a peno if it hadn’t been for that thick mutant flinging himself on the ground twice before, definite case of a ref thinking well I’m ****ed if you lot are getting one.Originally Posted by D24Saint
I didn’t print mutant btw, that’s what spellcheck called him lol
An absolutely disgraceful showing by the match officials at the cross tonight. Goal very wrongfully ruled out among numerous penalties not given. Also a free kick given when it was definitely just inside the box. Glad we managed a draw, but sickened to not get more out of that.
Treaty with 2 goals in the last 4 minutes in Oriel. The first an absolute calamity from Cherrie. I'm not sure how he managed to drop it over the line.
A game of few chances in Tallaght. Rovers scoring their deflected goal with their only proper chance of the game, Grant definitely should’ve been closed down/hauled down before getting the shot away though. Pats had a couple with Melia hitting the bar from 4 yards out with the goal gaping, got caught under the flight of the ball maybe but he had a poor game overall in a new role as a 10. I’d have put money on Keena scoring either of his 1v1 or chance on the turn, another day he sticks one of those away. Looked a pretty clear forceful 2 handed push in the back at the end but that’s just Rob Hennessey being Rob Hennessey and as always decisions will even themselves out over the season. A draw defo the fairest outcome from the game but not too disheartened after that, on another night you nick a game like that and with the injured players still to come back into the squad there are positives to take

Finn Harps got a point and nobody is ever allowed to complain about Finn Park pitch again. Holy god that surface in Belfield is beyond shocking.

Not sure about the draw hi. If Derry could hit a barn door right now, we would have won twice over. Not making excuses for our nonsense, or the ref, but it was one-way traffic.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Cracking finish from Hodgins for us,only seen the goal but looked a difficult surface and any point we get in Belfield is a good one considering our record there….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Fair play to drogheda,top of the league on merit.the best team in the LOI at the moment.
I'm very glad it was a Rovers fan who was first to say this, as it would look like sour grapes if a City fan were the first to raise this issue.
It's not exaggeration to say Eoghan O'Shea was a disgrace tonight. I'm not suggesting a bias, just complete ineptitude. He should spend a nice long spell in the first division or MSL after that performance. He made decisions tonight that made you question whether he had a fundamental grasp on the basic rules of the game.
We can have all the "respect the ref" campaigns you like, if the likes of O'Shea are what people who pay their hard earned are expected to tolerate it'll do no good.
All well and good but wouldnt read too much into it. WD are 2nd despite being hockeyed at home by the NGO cucks.
GY have possibly had the best start..
"NGO cucks"? Really? I mean, I've no love for Bohs but is this where the level of discourse is going? **** that.
