    Working at the election this Friday so hoping there's no recounts or any holdups and I can get away in time. Fridays just aren't the same during the pre-season.

    What happened to the Sunday afternoon game idea? Was it a non-runner?

    Still a runner. If you check the fixtures list you can see we switch to Sunday afternoons in July. http://www.derrycityfc.net/page/2017-fixtures-results.html

    Who knows if they'll stick to that plan though...

    I'll get to my first match on Saturday. Bought my ticket this evening. I was told that the kids (eight and ten) are free but I'd assume I'd need to be in early for them to get a decent view?

    I was following the match on the radio and then online...sounded like Derry were all over Bray. Bit of a disaster to get beaten 3:2 with Bray scoring with the last kick of the game :(

    Its a funny old game as someone once said.

    Sometimes you lose games you should win and vice versa.

    But there are a lot of positives to take out of this young Derry team.

    Good to see another big crowd at Maginn. I think Derry City has gained quite a few Donegal/Inishowen based supporters this season.....will be interesting to see who they cheer for when Derry play Harps soon!

    A shockingly poor performance by Derry v Harps. Worst I have seen them play under this current manager.

    But fair play to Harps, they did what they had to do to win. Some decent players, and definitely a more complete team than they have had in recent years.

    I was sure they'd come away with a victory from Pats :( They did well to draw even twice. It sounded like a great game (I was listening on Foyle).

    So at the mid season break, 3rd position.

    Very encouraging considering what the club and the players have had to go through this season.

    Onwards and upwards.

    Plenty of effort but they were a different class to us.

    They'll score 4 or 5 next week too.

    Enjoyable :D 3-0 to City. The ref was a bit too handy with the yellow card a couple of times but great result.

    2-0 against Shamrock Rovers! Great stuff. I've just watched the two goals on Twitter - class long range shot from McNamee!

    Ah, okay. I don't have that either. Eir's Twitter feed was putting up highlights shortly after they happened :)
