Gretna hammered

[leftpeg]

Poor *******s. Looks like Gretna's "European" adventure is all but over. They're getting hammered 5-1 in the first leg of their qualifier over Derry.

[Ryan]

Fcuk Gretna.

Get in there Derry!

[Shaggy]

Anyone seen the goals? **** me!! Three or four right screamers. They're showing them on SSN...well worth a look.

[Bob]

Yeah feel for Gretna.

(London)Derry are half way through their season though.

[red g]

Why add the 'London' Bob?

[Bob]

It was in jest. They are from Londonderry, yet call themselves, "Derry".

A political thing

[Maestro]

I'm aware of this. I just found it unnecessary.

[Bob]

I'm aware of this. I just found it unnecessary.

Possibly, though i am bitter and like i said - it was in jest.

[Jack D Rips]

Am I not right in saying that they are from the city of Derry and therefore are called Derry City?

Watched the game in the local O'Irish pub in Liverpool, I'm from County Derry so technically its my local side and it was a fantastic result. Get to a few games when visiting home.

Sky Sports News is constantly showing the goals as 2 of them were Steven Gerrardesque.

You are 100% right Jack.

Don't listen to Rob, there's no such place as 'Londonderry'.

Thought as much

[Bob]

100% - yet another fallacy Ryan.

Like it or not the city is currently officially named Londonderry according to the city's Royal Charter and usually appear as such on maps.
