Boyce is a doubt according to the Belfast Telegraph.
Who else can fill in at right back with Dummigan also unavailable?

I can't think of a natural fit so my guess is that we'd switch to a back 3 in the case of Boyce not being able to play and using Thomas or McMullan as a wing back. Unless Cann can play a bit of RB?

Just checking- is LOITV now €9.99 per game?

I think the per game was replaced with a 24 hour pass for €9.99.

Good to see wee Jackie getting a start.

Good to see wee Jackie getting a start.

He was nowhere to be seen for waterfords first.

Poor first half and just don't seem to have it upfront. Need to get our act together and quick

[footman]

I thought RH was sacked!

[magspat]

Shocking football terrible to watch L Boyce G White not showing don't know what to think.

[Paddydcfc2010]

Three points from nine with pats away on Monday, it ain't looking good.

12 yellow cards in our first three games while shels, bohs and Waterford have had three yellows combined. Not making excuses but the Loi referees are so poor.

He's not a right back TBF

Frantic football. No composure especially in the middle. Game plan seems to get it out wide and get it into the box. Beyond that there’s not too many patterns. Never really tested the keeper. At 2 up they were happy to sit in.

How Benson missed that sitter? Thought Hoban was decent when he came on. Your other man up front looks lost.

The pitch is also a disaster. Those lads that joined must be wondering what the hell it is.

And lastly why are they using a ball covered in green stripes. Makes dull and difficult to see.

What’s wrong with a plain white or traditional football

Manager's reaction.

[fergal]

The refs so far this year have been an awful standard.

[Keyser Soze]

The refs so far this year have been an awful standard.

They've always been an awful standard, or do you just think they are awful in our games, and against us?

The ref gave us one of the softest penalties you'll see this season tonight.

[fergal]

The standard of refs all round is shocking. Not just against us. But the amount of yellows and selective things they call frees has been awful the last 2 home games.

[Marty]

Really really bad.

Writing was on the wall when you seen then players he was signing. Obviously it’s pre season and you hope you’re wrong, but you know deep down they trying to turn Derry into Europe’s little Saudi Arabia isn’t going to work.

Every fan in the league knew, and he just made wheelchair jokes.
