Shelbourne vs Derry City

**Gareth** · 06/06/2006, 8:57 AM

Well there is a game in the Eircom League tonight, a win for Shelbourne will ove them into second place, a win for Derry will move them top on goal difference. The game kicks off at 8pm in Tolka Park. Paddy Power odds currently have Shels 11-10, a draw 2-1 and a Derry win 9-4. Surprisingly big odds for Derry. There is currently no preview on the Derry City site but the Shels site has an audio preview:

and there should be a written one up soon. For those not able to attend the game, Shelbourne are running a live commentary and textual update service. Details of which you can read about here:

Eitherway, what are peoples thoughts on the game?

1-1 draw, Shels wont win anyway

Surprised it's not on the tv tonight. Big game and nothing much else on.

i reckon 2-1 to Shels

Id say it will be a draw, always tough for us down there and it could be snatched 1-0 by either side.

About the TV, alot of people are disappointed by this as alot are looking to see the game.

Also cannot believe somebody didn't pick this game up for tv...it should be a cracker.

I reckon a draw, and Shels 10th failure in a row to beat Derry.

Lack of TV is hugely disappointing, and is probably because it's a rescheduled game. The stations seem to be blind-sided by rescheduled matches.

A draw looks the most obvious result but I have a feeling that Shels might just nick it.

**pete** · 06/06/2006, 1:34 PM

Looks like 1-1 to me.

Shels cannot keep a clean sheet & Derry got decent record at Tolka.

1-0 Home win, Gary O'Neill

I'll go for 1-1 as well - this one has draw written all over it. Thought it might have been on Setanta , would have been a better one to cover than UCD last Friday.

I can see Derry winning this (odds of better than 2/1 are quite tempting too!). They weren't great against us on Friday but they're still the best team I've seen this year, albeit better at home.
