Derry Fans

Dont know if there was a thread about it yet, but fair play to all the Derry fans for making the long trip down on Friday. I think all of Cork will be shouting for Derry in the final.

Reading some of their match reports and the comments underneath all these pictures, they don't seem at all gracious in victory.

Here we are wishing them all the best and there they are taking the **** out of us.

I'll be shouting for them against the scum but still, their reaction is disappointing.

Wouldn�t read much into that.

As the fella that wrote the match report and took the photos I would be interested to hear why we aren't gracious.

If you mean things such as "seven thousand and yous till won't sing" that refers to the crowd where we were sitting who were very negative towards your own team and after half an hour were slagging them off.

I look forward to welcoming all those who make the trip on Friday

Yeah atmosphere was poor for such a big game plus the St Annes 'prawn sandwich' End never sing.

Yeah Pete- don't know what I was smoking when I said that- I mean Sunday obviously

I was at the match myself and thought the Derry fans were excellent ( in fact when you think of how brutal the game was the Derry fans were the best entertainment at the match! ).

Don't agree with all the ****-taking but, Derry winning the Cup has got to be better than Rovers doing it. After all, the Dublin clubs seem to have a monopoly on all the trophies(that are worth winning).

Murphy Out Now!!!

I think Derry City will have most of the country's fans behind them including many Dublin fans. Who likes Rovers and is not one of their supporters? Not many, that's for sure.

You said it. Rovers are such a pack of homeless moaners/bitchers/inbreds (delete as appropriate), it's no wonder they've got no friends.

Murphy Out Now!!!

I don't think any deleting is appropriate there

. Add scum as well though.

I thought the Derry fans were excellent. I was about 10 rows back from them and they made so much noise. Thye really gave the game an athmosphere. Plus the fact that they had a drum added to it. They had a very repetitive chant going which they were singing for the whole second half while some fella was baytin away at the drum. Plus all the guys with the "City til I die" Shirts on looked good.

fair play to ye lads, if only more clubs had support like you lot, the league would be a better place.

Now go and beat the fnuck out of those hooped b*stards.
