Relegation Dogfight

Derry were poor last week RB something not quite right if you ask me .

Actually feeling quite hopeful about it. Dundalk would have to drop points for City to win the league tonight. Would prefer that to happen than yous win it on Monday night!

That would be doing us a favour though. It would mean Cork might have some motivation against Derry.

Can't see us beating ye Monday anyway. Hoping we can get a draw and that will be enough providing we are not beaten tonight.

Brilliant win tonight in front of a great crowd.

Started well, Sligo scored against the run of play and for the next 30 minutes before the equaliser Galway looked to be in a lot of trouble. Beaten in every tackle, second to every loose ball, looked rattled. Getting the equaliser, created and scored by the best players on the night, before half time was crucial. Everyone settled down after that and the second half performance was excellent.

Devaney's goal was sensational, best I've seen in a long time in Terryland, taking both occasion and quality into account.

Hopefully the result ruins the momentum Sligo were building and Galway can push on against Bray next week. I don't like the look of the Bray-Derry scoreline tonight though..

Shaping up to be some battle now. You'd have to think Harps are gone, tough matches coming up and a terrible goal difference.

Genuinely can't believe we are in this position in some games we have been brilliant in others beyond dreadful but always felt we would have enough.. even last night Fagan missed a sitter in the 90th min to rescue a point it starts to make you wonder..

Monday is huge but limerick and Galway games much bigger

The first half of football in Terryland was truly a brilliant game. End to end, fantastic atmosphere, tension, complete commitment, some really good football and lots of chances.
Obviously as a Utd fan I was delighted we went on and played really well in the second half, scoring a couple of excellent goals.
But anyone who watched the first half couldn't but see the potential in this league when big crowds attend and two teams really go at it.

I would be expecting us to rest quite a few players  against harps on saturday night with the replay on tuesday.

With Shields and Mountany injured and Clifford suspended, I'm sure O'Donnell will be rested, not really sure who will start in midfield for us.
