Shamrock Rovers vs Derry City RTE 7pm

Big game tonight.

If Rovers win the title is all but theirs.

If Derry win they will have it in their hands to win albeit with 2 difficult games against Bohs and Pats to play as well.

Derry will create a plenty of chances. They need Zayed to have a good night as he has been poor in the last few weeks.

Prediction : Shamrock Rovers 2-1 Derry City

I have a feeling Derry will sneak a goal and win 1-0 tbh.

As a Harps fan, I'm hoping and confident Shamrock Rovers will win this one. Watched Derry v Dundalk on Saturday and although they won 2-0 there were alot of periods during the game they looked under a bit of pressure.
Reckon it will be a good game 2 or 3-1 to Shamrock Rovers.

I think Derry might be fading so Rovers ought to take it.

Richard Hillman · 13-10-2011 5:26pm

If Londonderry beat Shamrock it will lead to a fantastic run in over the next few weeks. Its game over if Shamrock win.

Mr.Crinklewood · 13-10-2011 6:46pm

Twigg seems to want to get booked.

citytillidie · 13-10-2011 6:49pm

Should be his 2nd yellow and off

dreamers75 · 13-10-2011 6:51pm

Harsh on Thompson dropped and now the ball boy!

starviewadams · 13-10-2011 7:13pm

Lovely finish from Ricketts!

Le King · 13-10-2011 7:13pm

Terrible defending. Decent finish by Ricketts.

dreamers75 · 13-10-2011 7:13pm

Silly mistake by Greacen, hes done well this season.

Mr.Crinklewood · 13-10-2011 7:13pm

Derry one down. Another long ball from the back, terrible defending. Decent finish from Ricketts though.

antomorro-sei · 13-10-2011 7:17pm

Dunno how Doherty kept that out!

the_monkey · 13-10-2011 7:19pm

Good lob!!!!

Mr.Crinklewood · 13-10-2011 7:19pm

Kelly being very tough on Derry.

League could be over in next five minutes.

citytillidie · 13-10-2011 8:03pm

Was a strange game from him. He was 100% Derry in the first half and gave us nothing. 2nd half I'll be honest I thought he was 100% Rovers and seemed to ignore Derry. That's the first time we have ever had any sort of favour our of Kelly so forgive us if we take it with both hands.

That said it was a huge win last night and has put one hand on the title now for us. All ours to lose. Derry's biggest problem last night was the shocking effort put in by EZ motherf***in E (sorry couldn't resist) up front. He got one big tackle from Cives in the first half and seemed more interested in throwing himself to ground after that.

WindmillWarrior · 14-10-2011 8:32am

Rovers actually played a bit of football in the 2nd half last night :eek:. Massive win for them, title race is over. Shame Zayeds header didn't go in, it would have made it all so much more interesting

super_furry · 14-10-2011 1:53pm

Hopefully this season will put paid to the Sligo-led belief that Michael O'Neill is a poor manager. In his third season, he's on the cusp of his second league title, has brought the club on the best European run and club in this country has been on and has a Setanta Cup for good measure.

Im going to go out on a limb here and say... you are both wrong. I thought Kelly had a good game, ok actually not that far but I think he had a good game on the far side of the pitch, by the west stand. I am putting nearly every one of his bad decisions down to that linesman...again. He is absolutely terrible and every bad decision you could see Kelly was responding to whatever he was saying in his headpiece.

His name escapes me at the moment but he seems to be absolutely terrible in every game he's been involved in. I went to the Super Cup games, completely unbias as Id rather every team lost, and he was terrible once again. Had a shocker in the last Rovers/Bohs game in dalyer too.

All irrelevant now. A little disappointed we'll be lifting the cup in the Belfield Bowl potentially, especially the day after the return flight from Greece. Looooong weekend.

Mark Douglas. Must've done half Rovers games this season. Sent off McCabe at Dalymount. Always gets involved. He's never over the East Stand side though.

I too thought Kelly had a very good game, spotted all the little bits and pieces, didn't give a yellow early on and let the game flow. He probably had the chance to send Molloy off in the second half when he began to lose it as Ricketts kept the ball. He also didn't rush in on Sives' tackle form behind in the first half.

Derry's support was probably the loudest and best so far this season. Saw the lad walking in with that drum before the game. You could lose a small child inside it.:eek:
