Two for the price of one.
Despite being from opposite ends of the country Derry City and Cork City have one of the most heated League of Ireland rivalry’s going back years at this stage.
The two SSE Airtricity Premier Division sides are in action tonight at Turners Cross, and Ryan McBride took no time in getting to know two Cork players in particular.
The Derry captain managed to do something you’d only see in Sensible Soccer by knocking two Cork City players up into the air when he challenging for the ball midway through the first half.

He scattered them like skittles and was only booked for the foul.
Ryan McBride gets a yellow for Derry for heavy tackle. Crowd looking for red but Derry caretaker Paul Hegarty is infuriated with decision

Incredible tackle by Ryan McBride there. Studs a little high but clearly won the ball and knocked 2 Cork players into the air in the process

Ryan McBride takes out two players with one tackle. They'll be talking about that for years. He's booked.

After the game the man himself was asked about the tackle and he was less than pleased to have picked up a yellow card for his efforts
