Any links to the Derry game tonight

Teams with fraudulent accounting practices are a far bigger black eye for the league that European results

[dancinpants]

I don't know,,
It's hard to pick a strong team this year that would put up a fight.

I agree with there being no strong teams this year, but I think its unfair to suggest Derry aren't putting up a fight.

soko ,,,
go out and play with the traffic

stick to the topic

This is a bad day for the league and anyone who says different is an idiot. They are ranked below Bate and Tallinn and we've come past them in previous years.

I guess we've not progressed as much as people like to think.

McHugh fouled, player booked. Carried off on a stretcher

header off the line from a corner by derry

[micls]

Header cleared off the line from Kelly...good save

[dapman1]

why didnt derry put in corners like this at the brandwell?

You're making that team look good due to not knowing what to do. They gave you so much of the ball up in Derry and you produced nothing with it. They are an awful team who you have managed to make look fairly decent.

However, a team that had some direction and purpose about them would have got the job done and made it look easy.

It's Derrys fault they're not in Round 2, not Armani Sputniks

These kind of games upset me

or in the first half

Have you looked at the league table lately? Hate to burst yer bubble higgins but Derry are 1 point clear of Bray Wanderers. We're in 7th spot for a reason. Use that to put a bit of perpective on your apparent huge disappointment.

[SwanVsDalton]

Derry have been poor over two legs, I agree, but every team needs a little luck to go their way and it's all gone for Pyunik. Clearance off the line? That would've went in at the other end...

The damage was done last week. Again, I agree, this isn't a great side but they're extremely well organised and have one or two exceptional individuals. We could've done better but we've been treading water all year, best we can hope for is to regroup and have a go at the Cups.

Game over

[gilberto_eire]

that last gasp shot just summed it up...if ya cant stick them you wont beat anyone....
i suppose its not that shocking considering there league position this year there way of the pace!

dancinpants ,, It don;t matter where you are in the league at present. Your team is capable of finishing this league in the top 4. You do have a team that should be finishing higher than 7th. Although the fact you are 7th just shows the passion and drive that you lack... Something I didnt get from these two Champions League games. If you were going to turn a corner this was your chance and you blew it...

Also I'd look into changing your signature

Derry where denied a penalty,missed a sitter in the first.They hit the woodwork and have had one cleared off the line in the second.

But two dreadful bits of defending have allowed to fairly soft goals in against a team that would probably struggle in the Eircom. there was some good passing throughout from Derry but, a real lack of anything in front of goal and one of the worst displays at full back for a long time have done for the Candystripes.

Nah, think I'll leave it there, todays result doesn't even come close that.

[Aaron]

People need to remember the humidity and temperature out there, pkus the fact that the players had a nightmare trip. Yes we were caught out in defence but had we had a bit of luck, we would have went through.

We have a team which has performed poorly all year, achieved very little in the way of consistency, played under three seperate managers so far and were given an awkward European draw. As far as corner-turns go, an away trip to Yerevan is not the easiest. I'd take a wee dander down to Tolka any day over that.

What every Derry fan has come to turms with this year (and what you will haev to, judging by your post) is that the Candystipes are struggling. Whether we're capable or not is neither here nor there, the reality is that this was a tough assignment for a new manager manning a team low on confidence. That's it.

[Sheridan]

Wouldn't get too exercised about this result, just the wrong game at the wrong time for Derry. Should still have won it though, they're a much better team than Pyunik. Not sure it was entirely wise to let Robertson pick the team for this one, it was injudicious team selection which cost Derry the tie more than anything else (playing Brennan at left back, using Morrow as the forward pivot and leaving him on.)

Fair play to Pyunik, they came and attacked from the off when it would have been very easy not to. Won't see as open a game as that in the CL proper.

[Soko]

I find it hilarious that the majority of this bile is coming from shels fan. Derry should have done better, there's not doubting that but the world is not going to end. The league table does not lie and they are 7th for a reason
