    Things to make you go hmm.......

    While sneaking a free scan at the yesterdays tabloids last night I came across a couple of storys of LOI interest. Apols if they have been discussed elsewhere.
    The first one was a press release by the (by now infamous) board at Bohs saying that the financial was improving (due mainly to fans efforts) and that the club was hopefull that we would finish within the 65% rule. Long way to go but happy days (although not for some here)

    The second story that caught my eye was that Dundalk were asking their players to take a wage cut due to a drop off in income. Could it be that while Ezeikial and co were lecturing Bohs on our financial woes that everyone took their eye off the buiscut tin in Oriel ?

    Any chance there could just be one "Dundalk and Bohemians' vaguely homoerotic obsession with one another" thread that this is all contained in?

    the bohs and dundalk fans on here are collectively a bunch of idiots. all you seem to able to do is to make snide remarks and comments about the other. will you ever grow up you idiots... the rest of us are getting tired of this continued obsession with one another, which as thischarmingman said, is bordering on the homoerotic.

    this isnt a drogs vs Dundalk thread (I will leave Bohs to take uo that batton )

    My comment relates to the fact that Dundalk only signed a pile of players just over a month ago and within weeks are now (I presume) looking to renegotiate contracts.

    Now it can be claimed financial prudence in addressing the cost base but the fact is that they only signed these deals a few weeks ago and this is the sticking point for me - very unfair on the players they signed as it can be argued that they signed them under false pretenses.

    Now this critic applies to any club who does the same.

    I don't particularly want to responded to this wummery and oneupmanship, but...

    ...in this instance Dundalk seem to be taking a sensible measure, while bohs are merely putting it off 'til tomorrow, so they can claim their prize without sanction

    I started a thread about two items I came across in yesterdays papers. They may / may not be true I was simply reporting them.
    Do please let us know what subjects /teams you feel we can discuss as I was under the misunderstanding that this was an open forum.

    Actually, Bohs are trying to comply with the 65% rule. As I stated this will make some idiots who have already been celebrating our demise very unhappy.
    Of course it takes away another excuse for the Derry whingers that the reason they don't win things is because everyone else is cheating (See Shels previously)

    Anyway, seems it is true. According to a D*ndalk fan on the Drogs forum the players met last night to discuss. No news from that meeting yet

    If they cut out the overnight stays to places like Sligo they might be able to pay the wages.

    there are two threads in which Bohs fans and Dundalk fans have sniped at each other - the FAI Cup thread and the Bohs finances thread.

    Each debate in these threads is worthy of discussion, some good, some bad and some WUMmery. Its a football forum, we are rivals, they have our former manager and former players of Bohs, they dont like us, we dont like them.

    GET OVER IT.

    *btw, its funny how a thread about the finances of Bohs or Cork gets into the 20's and 30's of pages with all sorts of accusations, counter-accusations and snide comments but utter something about Dundalk or someone else and people are complaining.

    Nice observation there i have to say
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    It's ok we found a way to get over our money troubles. We're selling Oriel, well most of it, we don't own the bit behind the goal

    No they are not within an ass's roar worthy of discussion. you're all starting threads with the best of intentions, some not, but both of these threads have descending into a whinging match about the two teams. there are other teams in the cup yano, and Dundalk has nothing got to do with Bohs finances.
