Same could be said about Derry City & Drogs - no recent european pedigree.

I cant wait for this tie lads! I cant believe theyre underestimating derry! I hope Derry should stuff them in both matches... maybe wake a few of these guys up to the "irish league"

Will paddy mccourt be fit does anyone know?!

It would be hugely embarassing for the league though if Gretna actually won though.

By that, I take it you expect Gretna to win.

This is not Longford we're talking about. Derry have just beaten Gothenburg, fairly comfortably. So they're well capable of winning 2 more legs against a Scottish first division side, by a bigger margin.

hope derry give them a right hiding ! some ********s on that forum

If ur registered on derry city chat go an look at the things the gretna fan there is sayin "we expect to win comfortably", "can we hit double figures", "8-0 gretna" then starts to call us paddys and sing sectarian songs!! ****S!!

Under pressure from a Bray fan not to embarass the league!!!

The suggestions that we should beat Gretna "easily" is treating them with the disrespect they are showing us.

**De Town** · 29/07/2006, 4:44 PM

Some of ye on this thread are as bad as those Scottish ****s

This thread was started to basically laugh at those who think Gretna will p�ss all over Derry, not to hit back with similar comments. I honestly don't think Derry will have it easy but I would expect them to go through.

Hey, I know we're crap and it's not necessary to imply it. I think my opinion is as valid as anyones here. I'm thinking of the league in general here. I was as delighted as anyone when you stuffed Gothenburg and even more delighted when I heard you got Gretna. We have enough Man U and Liverpool fans to contend with as it is without taking cheap pops at each other.

**fbtn** · 29/07/2006, 6:43 PM

Chill mate. He's only taking the pish.

They're not just a Scottish First Division side. They're Gretna, a club who are in the ascendancy rather than a stagnant first division midtable regular who are going nowhere. I don't expect Gretna to win, nor do I expect Derry to win. I honestly can't gauge and I'd be more informed on Scottish football than a lot of posters here. I certainly wish Derry luck and desperately hope that they win, but I think it should be approached cautiously. I have no doubt that Stephen Kenny won't be taking it as such a foregone conclusion.
