Pat seems to have played well, if derry didnt have competive fixtures he may have found himself in USa. good result for DCFC well done.

It's always fun to see Pat skin players, but it's doubly better when it's Darling Georgina.

what sort of crowd was there, was it on tv?

Red&White · 20/05/2006, 10:43 PM

Good crowd, I'd say above 2500- Cork brought about 30-40 down, their support was severely hit by Heinekin Cup final, and end of year exams, and yes it was on TV.

**Dazzy** · 20/05/2006, 11:11 PM

Around about 3000 at it, Main stand full except for around down the Cork end 250-400 far side!

It was all the reshuffling of the fixture aswell .... alot of people had booked b&bs online and then they changed the date, thats not going to help .... complete let down after last years game in the Brandy.

Back home now, was in longford only to find out pats game off so drove to derry to see Cork well beaten. U need a backbone!

Well at least you can make it up on your second trip up later on in the year.

The three in midfield doesn't suit Cork and I'm very surprised that such an advocate of wingers in Rico is playing this way. For me O'Brien is just getting in the way and Cork can't move the ball around as well as they can because of this system. Funniest moment of the game had to be Oman (injured as usual) nearly crying like a child trying to get the ball put out,"I can't even run"!!

**Speranza** · 21/05/2006, 1:10 PM

Hegarty was sent off at half time. Hegarty was roaring at the ref and up steps Rico trying to complain too, he (Rico) then said something to Hegsy and they went out of sight into the tunnel. Few moments later stewards run in so I assume there was a scrap in there.

I don't think it would be unfair to say we outclassed Cork last night. Our midfield was incredible and I'm sure Barry Molloy will allow Joe Gamble out of his pocket to attend the Chile match. That's the second City vs Cork match that Molloy has bossed Gamble but he doesn't get any credit or attnetion.

It looked as if Rico forgot to play two forwards last night as they were awful up front and Georgie's no show behind them didn't help.

Important win for us and delighted to keep our home record going.

**Sniffer** · 21/05/2006, 1:14 PM

Derry were the dogs b******s last night, tried to play the game the way it should be, Martyn is some player. love the type of midfielder who's always trying to get forward and score.

Good man Soccer C ! Hope you felt the game was worthwhile.

Cork looked very, very average last night. Only one shot on-target that I can recall, and their midfield was anonymous. With another trip north at the end of the season, they'll need to sharpen-up a lot between now and then.

**Gareth** · 21/05/2006, 3:15 PM

Derry City just cogged my entire updates!!! I am not too happy about that.

**Risteard** · 21/05/2006, 4:10 PM

No shame in losing to Derry but i think our left midfield needs a final resolution at this stage. George and Joe are the best central midfield pairing.
Joey is wasted out there and assuming he doesn't put George out there, he already has loads of options for the second wing spot.
Woods, ColinT, Lordan soon, Sullivan, Softic.
Bite the bullet Rico, Joeys a centre-mid.

Coming from a Rovers fan that shows a sense of humour at least.

Such a shame we don't have to put up with your sartorially challenged lot fighting with each other in the stands this season.
