The City View Podcast

[S3-Ep13] It was a mixed night at Dalymount Park as Derry City took part in a frustrating game of two halves, with a very promising first half showing being completely overshadowed by a quite horrendous display of officiating by referee Rob Harvey as we settled for a point on the road.

Have we turned a corner? This was a good start! Listen in as the lads discuss the action, the star performers and the magic of the occasion, all on this week's City View Podcast!
