    He'd be a big loss for us.

    Another big match tonight, Rovers on a terrible run, Derry flying, so has a draw written all over it!

    Heading for a sell-out tonight, tickets are gold dust around the town today.

    After a disappointing league match, they came out guns blazing in the EA Sports Cup against Shelbourne...7-3!

    Yeah, plenty of goals in the sunshine at the Brandywell.

    Unfortunately had to miss tonight's game due to the Jazz Festival, had other plans.

    But great result all the same.

    He'd be a big loss for us.

    Looks like Ronan has played his last game for us, he's actively looking to push the move to Portsmouth asap.

    Now that its likely a done deal, lets hope we can get as much cash as possible (and a good % sell-on clause), cos he won't be easily replaced.

    9 goals conceded in 2 games.

    Kenny needs to steady the ship. Curtis on the verge of leaving not going to help either.

    Not a great performance, but good to stop the rot. Important 3 points.

    I'm a Waterford fan, I was at it. Surprised how poor Derry were. Was expecting much more. They didn't get going at all and defensively they were atrocious.

    After a great start to the season...it all went to sh1te! At least the derby matches are back. Fair play to Finn Harps :cool:

    Declan Devine rumoured to be taking up the manager's role.

    Confirmed. I *think* it's a good appointment. Time will tell.

    I think its a bad decision. I hope he proves me wrong though.

    Well, a good start for Decky and his new look team.

    Good performance against a weak team, so we won't know how the team is gelling and how good it is until we meet some stiffer competition in the coming weeks.

    But the start of a new era after the debacle of last season. Good to have the live football back.

    Flying start, albeit a weaker side but should bolster some confidence. The team has been doing double and triple training sessions in the off season so let's see if that pays off.

    Off to a dubious start. Fair enough, get beat 1-nil by the champions in the opener...but to struggle a draw, at home, by Finn Harps...!
