    As long as Ireland beat Finland they won’t get relegated.
    Distinct possibility that all home nations and Ireland will be in league B next term depending on N Ireland winning their group which is still possible.

    And Drogheda United caused a major upset and won the Cup yesterday. Fair play to both.

    That Derry City performance yesterday was an embarrassment. Has anyone ever seen Ruaidhrí Higgins and Mickey Harte in the same room at the same time?

    Shane Farrel who left from Shels mid season played a huge part in Drogheda's win. Played great

    Need to beat Finland to guarantee they don’t get relegated

    Derry were shocking in the final few months of the season. Completely bottled both the league and cup.

    To say that they have fallen apart in the last couple of months of the season would be generous. Cannot see any way that Derry is not looking for a new manager for next season.

    Don't let the Derry County Board anywhere near that appointment. Absolute clowns. But yes, I think his time is up, coming fourth in what was for last couple of months a two horse race and missing out on Europe. Maybe some of those Derry City Ultras will defect over the wall (literally) to Celtic Park for the National League.

    For sure the fact that a season where they could easily have won the double but at least should have won the cup ended up not only with no trophy but dropping down to 4th and not even a European spot that kills it I would think. Pretty remarkable how totally they collapsed as the business end of the season arrived.

    100%. Inexplicable loss of form and belief. It was theirs to lose at one stage and they duly obliged.

    I was back over middle of October but they were away to Dundalk. They actually won that night and had they beat Pats the week after I was contemplating going over for the showdown with Shels. Wasn’t to be however. Then to lose the cup final as well was just awful.

    A truly awful year for all Derry teams.

    They did lose close to 30m in their recently released accounts but it seems that was due to exceptional costs involved that were done to help them expand their brand so it seems they won't be going anywhere soon unfortunately.
