Good summary of what went wrong for Pat's towards the end.Originally Posted by Jack B
It's only this season we've had more physicality on the pitch, but it makes such a difference. We've scored quite a few corners this season, for example.
Classic Derry City waiting until waiting until the latter stages of the game to actually start playing.
Pat's first was a lovely bit of quality. Melia's finishing was top drawer, as was his overall performance. Looking forward to seeing him in Lansdowne Road in the coming years.
Brian Maher kept us in it with a few great saves, but the second for Pat's was a disaster for us, after we gave it away stupidly in our own half. We knew it was a goal from then, felt like we were watching it in slow motion.
I'd have to give our lads credit for finally getting going, and it was a lovely goal for our first. Could maybe be a bit critical of the Pat's defending for giving Bannon that sort of space in the box, mind.
Second goal, great movement to get into position.
Happy with the draw, especially being two down in the 74th minute. Could have won it, should have lost it.
I think there's very little between Derry and Pat's. This season, we've two wins, Pat's have one, and one draw. You could play that match a hundred times and both teams would end up with the same points.

Couldn't get over how comfortable it was. Tiny crowd there too, put at 192 I believe.

Marc Lynch with the latest refereeing stinker last night. Horrible challenge and the deserved red card would’ve changed the game with it being so early.

Having said that at 2-0 up with just over 15 mins to go in the game Pats should’ve seen out the Derry pressure from set pieces, though they could even have nicked a winner from them late on so a draw was maybe fair. My god Melia is playing absolutely out of his skin the last month or so, 2 goals off top scorer in the league now which I’m sure will be his aim to finish up his time in the LOI with. Lovely goal and assist from him last night

That still photo doesn't show the context. It's wasn't even a tackle, O'Reilly played the ball and followed through. Quite a debate amongst us watching, from no foul to a red.
I'd have probably just given a foul.
A range of opinions, so can't be hammering the ref for his decision.
Winning the ball first or not hasn’t got anything to do with it. His follow through ends up with his studs into an Kazeems knee, it’s endangering an opponent and a red card

Has anyone got a clip of it I wonder, I'd also be one that hates stills they can be very deceiving, although hard to see how his leg should end up there at any point
