Not sure there's going to be a game in Galway. Delayed for now but it's still raining.

Ya the rain is clearing but pitch wont drain that quick unfortunately. Disaster.

It's crap for the fans but a postponement suits us down to the ground. Robbo will get sacked after we lose to Bohs (and maybe Shams) instead and we get to play Galway, a direct rival, under new management later on.

Expecting to lose tonight if it goes ahead.

Called off.

Can't wait to see it in THREE DAYS :rolleyes:

Mushy

I was seconds away from a daft rant about how hard is it really to lose/draw games when you go 2 up so often..

Can't have been easy for Derry at all, I'll take the points though!

Much the same in shams - harps... Gutted to lose that after coming back from 2 down
On the night that was in it in buncrana must be really bad

Rescheduled for Monday. So we will just lose then and hopefully get rid of him straight away.

Had heard he was gone if we didn't win tonight. Bit pointless leaving him there tonight, not a chance we were winning that.

There'll be nobody disappointed when he goes, except Liam Martin i suppose. Not a single fan has any faith in him. He's probably the only manager that's ever united our support like that!

In fairness to RTE they put the Conan Byrne goal up =

Rubbish from Bohs tonight. We're being decimated with injuries.

Disappointing result for us tonight in Buncrana, especially having come back from 2 down.

Having said that, we should have been won that game easily, Patterson himself could have had at least a couple before he went off injured.

But thats the way it goes sometimes. Young lads did well after losing the captain Ger Doherty too at half time. Some you win, some you lose.

Good to see another full house at Maginn Park.

Three great finishes from Rovers, especially McAllister from distance off the under side of the bar and also Finn from distance off the post, but more kamikaze stuff at the back. No composure there at all.

It was a must win..

Hard not to get carried away with this Cork City team, it was so easy last night and it really should have been a 6/7 nil game had we the shooting boots on. Played some great football at times. Derry at home next Friday is going to be another great occasion, huge crowd expected again.

Superb performance from us last night. We took over after a fairly even first 15 mins and controlled the rest of the first half. Probably should have scored more than two with Kurtis Byrne missing a one-on-one and Fagan missing a sitter but he did open the scoring for us and put in a much better performance than some of his other ones this season. Fagan went off injured in the second half, hopefully it won't be too bad. Conan's strike was absoutely fantastic, looked great from behind the goal. So it was a deserved 2-0 lead at half time.

Conan's second goal at the start of the second half killed the match as a contest and while Bohs had a few half chances and made O'Malley make a good save from a Lorcan Fitz shot we never really looked under much pressure. Kurtis' goal in injury time was the icing on the cake.

Special mention must go to the performance of Lee Desmond who was superb last night and produced some wonderful passes as well as being defensively solid. Alex O'Hanlon was also very impressive in midfield and looks to have improved considerably since the Bray match at the start of the season. Lunney looks a very useful prospect for the future also. Only slight problem with last night was that both Fagan and Josh O'Hanlon got injured in the second half. Hopefully neither injury is too bad because otherwise we will be down two strikers. Good Crowd in Dalymount last night and good to see the President Of Ireland attending also.
