Derry City 1 - 0 Mark Patterson
Mark Patterson of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Foyle usually has a tanned face from all the he does. But today, his face is, I suspect, flushed with terra cotta. Mark and I are old mates, so I can write this with impugnity. According to the front page story in today's Irish News, he was merrily doing his bit as stadium announcer at the Brandywell on Tuesday for the Eircom League cup final between Derry City and Bohemians when he was asked to make an announcement about a car that needed to be moved. He dutifully read out the car registration number three times before realising that it was his own car. Ouch. In his defence, Mark has explained to The Irish News that he's only had the car for a month. Whatever the explanation, it's a classic self-imposed Gotcha moment.

Derry-O Derry-O
Sounds more like the refrain from a child's song than a sports score.
The farmer in the dell
The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho,The derry-o
The farmer in the dell
Then there's;
The World Turned Upside Down (Derry Down)
Goody Bull and her daughter together fell out,
Both squabbled and wrangled and made a great rout!
But the cause of the quarrel remains to be told
Then lend both your ears and a tale I'll unfold.
Derry down, down. Hey derry down
Then lend both your ears and a tale I'll unfold.
And of course who could forget;
There once was a lady from Derry
Who....
Never mind, this is rated a family entertainment website. :-)
