Heavan forbid we boo opposing players

Have you ever been to a live match before ya fcuking idiot.

I was certainly booing the Shels players, they're a dirty shower of Bastrads.

As for Shels being a better footballing team, we were down to 9 men and they were clueless.
They had acres of space through the middle, yet each time they came forward they played the ball wide to Moore, who had to turn back onto his left foot in order to whip in a cross, which was easy pickings for Oman and Kelly
They didn't change their approach once. They had no plan 'B'.
Shocking tactics from fenlon.

As for the red cards, Brennan deserved his, Forde's was harsh, but we don't give a fcuk, we won and Forde's replacement was the key man

no need for the personal attack. thought it was an enjoyable game last night even if the conditions weren`t great for either team playing football.

you must of had the Derry blinkers on last night, both teams weren`t shy about leaving the foot in. Heary and Brennan should of walked. Moore was his usual self leaving his foot in whenever he could and in the first half there was a very dangerous tackle from a Derry lad on Baker. i don`t think the ref even booked him

Thats 2 good games I`ve watched on the telly in the last few days but the refs in last nights game and Pats Shels the other night have been a complete joke

Boo all you like during the match, I'm no angel with regard to that. But at the end of a final, when a team is getting their medals there is no need. Obviously you wouldn't understand sportsmanship and are denting the great respect I had for Derry fans and their deserved reputation, not that I'll lose any sleep over that.

At least it clears things up for the few who thought the booing was for the ref/ejected fan and confirms how right I was originally. Shame.

Enjoy the win.

Are you not in school today Krstic?

**lofty9** · 19/09/2006, 10:36 AM

As I said in an earlier post, the fans at the terracing end booed the idiot fan, even the supporters in the Glentoran stand were booing him. I'm sure those that sit there, directors etc were not booing the Shelbourne team. Shels players were applauded coming off the pitch and returned the favour to our fans. When Stokes left the pitch he was booed. If Kristic and others decided to boo Shels when they got their medals thats their perogative, but the fact of the matter is that the two idiots were being booed.

**pete** · 19/09/2006, 10:42 AM

Referees are criticised a lot but last night he got the sendings off spot on & very unlucky to miss Hearys nastiness.

There is no doubt Shels had the most of the play & will be a huge blow to them that could not score in 120 minutes.

Fridays game will be good entertainment for any neutrals as i am sure will be some afters from last night

**Krstic** · 19/09/2006, 10:48 AM

Well to be honest lofty9, i was in my car listening to radio Foyle by the time the trophy was EVENTUALLY presented.
Although i did Boo the Shels players everytime they touched the ball.

But if anyone did Boo the Shels players after the game, i really couldn't care less.

**Clifford** · 19/09/2006, 10:54 AM

Don't get the knickers' in a twist, only an observation that Kristic confirmed.

Enjoy the win.

Clifford from my position in the stand all i could see after the game was some Shels players applauding our support, and that was reciprocated by all in the stand.

But it's a pity not all their players took the defeat so graciously.

**stickyjoe** · 19/09/2006, 11:03 AM

Surprised that Derry fans were able to get that close to the players

City till I Die!!

In fairness you cant really blame the ref for the sendings off. The forde one was the lineman and the killian brennan was a definite red card. He lunged two footed with intent. You could hardly expect stokes to see what heary did after now in fairness. Its the linesman in question that you should be venting your anger on. Delighted personally to see derry winning. It proves to everyone what a great manager Kenny is. The team spirit in the derry squad brings back memories to Kennys time and Longford Town when players would die for the shirt. I hope they win the league to shut that fool felix healy up!! He knows nothing and talks sh1te

**Raheny Red** · 19/09/2006, 11:29 AM

Last night was my first time in the Brandywell in over a year, so I'm just wondering are away fans always put into the section where the designated area is for people in wheelchairs??

Thats bull in relation to the ref not seeing heary, he was running straight at brennan with his hand in his pocket and couldnt possibly miss it, its from the replays he was looking staright at it, add to that the fourth official and the linesman where right besside it too, no one could have missed and no way all three didnt see it.

What game were you watching hoopy ? Derry were clealry better overall than Shels prior to being reduced to 9 men. In each of our 5 European outings we've played better football than Shels have ever done this season. You've got a dose of the Eircom League Weekly disease- no matter how good anyone else is doing in the league, Wayne and Garf just can't see past their star-strucked love of Shelbourne....

Even when we were down to 9 men and Shels were giving it all they had, we still dealt comfortably with it all and soaked up the pressure.

Three great irnoic monents in last night's game. Firstly, Setanta being stupid enough to appoint a man of the match prior to penalties in a cup final. Secondly, them being stupid enough to give it to Dave Rogers, who then had his opening penalty kick saved, and started the pressure pilling onto Shels. And thirdly, Fenlon's attitude in an interview earlier in the day when he said he doesn't believe in practicing penalties......

Friday will be very interesting now. I reckon most likely a 1:1 draw, but possibility of a typically late winner for either side.

No. Away fans are usually segregated over in Blocks A and B - e.g. where the PSG fans were.

My understanding is that because it wasn't a home game for Derry (it was a 'neutral' EL final) Shels fans had to be given a more prominent area.

Had yee brought a few more with you on your free buses, you could've had the 450 new seats on the other side all to yourselves.....
