St. Patrick's Athletic v Derry City Match Thread

[TenaciousDee]

Game on Monday evening could prove to be a real test and a barometer to demonstrate how much the side has learned following the opening day defeat.

Feel free to post ticket news, predictions and reactions to the game. As always these games are live on LOITV, BBC Radio Foyle and Drive 105.

[rodgers]

Given how inept they were at double weekends in recent years, hopefully they will be better at them this year.

[Keyser Soze]

Another defeat on Monday will be a terrible start. Hopefully the fact that it's on a real pitch might help us play better.

100%. Playing on grass will be like a different sport.

Really sad and short sighted to see some teams in the First division ripping out their grass pitches for the plastic.

Connolly will be lucky to finish match.

[Keyser Soze]

Connolly is looking like a real weak link this season.

His complete lack of pace is leaving him in difficult situations.

He should be benched at half time, cos he'll get sent off yet.

Apart from that, not offering much again tonight.

[brandyball]

Going to be a long hard season

[fergal]

Refs again. Never a pen and never a red. And pen for Derry again turned down

[Paddydcfc2010]

I know the refs in the loi are poor but these first four games have been dodgy. The refs can't get the cards out quick enough for us. Constant yellows and tonight a joke red card.

[Paddydcfc2010]

Another penalty for Pats

Another penalty for Pats

Maher didn't even move.

We need a power cut.
