He was diving all over the show tonight. No doubt about it. Every little touch on him he was down like a bag of spuds or throwing his arms up looking for a free. The worst was the **** of a ref fell for it. It was the same ref that done the Harps match last week btw

Appalling refereeing couldn't ruin an absolutely enthralling game at the Brandywell. Great crowd, great football played, brillliant advert for the league. Just a pity we couldn't get the 3 points. We were the better team throughout and how we never managed to score in those last 15 minutes is totally beyond me.

We can, but its still not gonna be easy. Watching on tv tonight and we were brutal at times. Kenna was probably a psychological boost on the field, but some of his defending was slow and laboured - he nearly cost us a couple of goals. Rouse deserved MOTM - some great saves.

Throughout most of the game I didn't think Glynn was on form at all, but then he can be like that and still get the winner

- and all is forgiven

How Derry didn't win tonight is mindboggling. If Bohs play like this they will not win the league. Well done City, pity about the result, but that was so positive and with Morrison and Morrow coming back from injury things are looking up.

About 1,000 in Wexford for well-contested South East derby. Good early goal from Waterford who dominated the first half. Thought Waterford fell away in second half and Wexford deserved their draw with a tap-in from Danny Furlong following Gavin Doyle shot. Waterford centre-half sent off just at the end and Waterford also had a goal disallowed for handball.

Second-half delayed as Pat Dolan was ordered from the dug-out (for too many mentors??)

Plumped for Shels and Dundalk tonight..

Shels with a bit more composure in front of goal in the second half should've shaded it, but they looked nervous and apprehensive, getting in the way of each other and misplacing simple passes. Against an - ahem - streetwise/professional/obstinate Dundalk.

You weren't the better team throughout, you dominated after McGuinness was sent off, but almost never before.

Agree about the great crowd and atmosphere; even though I've never seen us win in the Brandywell (missed the last league game last season) I love going there.

We will play better than that and we will win the league, but if you can't break us down at home when we're down to 10 men, then you surely won't. Off you go and win the league cup.

I'd be a lot more sensitive about the lack of trophys you've collected in recent years.

I think Bohs should be more worried re their finances. Heard the players werent paid last week, they had to wait for the inter toto gate receipts before they would get paid. And they had to get another increase of 4 million euro overdraft from the bank. Another mess fenlon has got the club into

Yes but I dont care, at this stage its all about carving results no matter how pretty or ugly. Both Foley and Murphs impressed me last night with their never say die attitudes. I tip my hat to you gentlemen!

**Youths4Ever** · 19/07/2008, 10:51 AM

excellent game last night between Wexford and Waterford both teams came out to play football draw about fair result.

also have to say always quick to say ref bad the ref at last night game was much better than the usual quality not to hard i know

but at least shows we do have some good ref out there somewhere

Don't know how true this is but certainly should be very worrying for Bohs fans.

Fenlon destroyed Shels by signing all the best players he could and offering mega wages that the club could not afford, he almost did it with Derry with panick signings, with crazy wages, of players who were not better than what was already there, Hynes, Tidman, Bermingham, Rogers, Moore, O'Halloran etc all are now gone thankfully.

And if he does the same to Bohs they cannot say there were no warning signs given his previous stints with Shels and Derry.

Re: the wages thing - the club explanation is that it was a banking hiccup, and in the absence of any other evidence of looming bankruptcy, I'd accept it for the moment. As for Fenlon being spendthrift here; who's he bought? Brennan, Oman and Cronin were his only close season signings, and with about 6 players let go at the end of last year, I'm guessing the wage bill at the start of this season was about the same as at the end of the last. So far, in the window, he's only added Anto Murphy and gotten rid of Turner and Mansaram. With Hunty off the payroll, there's presumably room for another signing or two, but so far, he's sticking to a budget.

Still feeling rotten after last night's result. I thought a draw was a fair result but fair play to Galway for taking their chance when it came. We had a few chances and we didn't take them.

Still gutted to lose in the last minute.

**marty** · 19/07/2008, 5:52 PM

1-0 Ramblers,Gaynor on 12 mins if we can sneak this it will really open up the fight at the bottom,and with Bray at home next week who knows what can happen..
