A rare match day poster
|
 |
| The green green grass of Ireland - hopefully this picture will give you a feel for how wet it was that day - nevertheless the pitch was in perfect condition. |
 |
| The warm up |
 |
| The Derry keeper - Gerry |
 |
| The Derry Ultras school choir - who have a fine collection of songs which includes Teenage Kicks by 70's punk band the Undertones. |
 |
| The Undertones - who hail from Derry - do you remember Fergal Sharkey - who went onto bigger (?) things. |
 |
| To demonstrate their affection for Derry City - The cover of their song "My perfect cousin" features a Derry City Subetto player - not to be confused with Half man / Half biscuit's - All I want for Xmas is a Duka Prague away kit - which is equally as fetching. |
 |
| UCD get ready for their freekick..... |
 |
| and the result is this |
 |
| The Ultas plus flag and drum! The flag features "Eddie???" from heavy metal group Iron Maiden (West Ham fans) - Oakesy can you elaborate here - rock is more you thing I believe?...thanks |
 |
| They do like their flsgs!! |
 |
| Typical when the rain stops ...Oakesy arrives or was he concentrating on league one games earlier ??? |
 |
| I know it was wet and he probably thought he was in a swimming pool - but no need to dive |
 |
| A last minute attempt by Derry to snatch all three points in the title race |
 |
| One for local Irish bus driver (LIBD) |
 |
| Toucan play at that game! |
 |
| Monument to Charles Stewart Parnell - Irish nationalist and statesman who led the fight for Irish home rule in the 1880's any relation Keith? |

A wider view of Parnell Street |
