The main thing is that Bohs still exist. Hopefully they can come back and be a proper force in this league.
From what I saw of him as Town manager Bohs are f***£d

I said this on the other thread, he's a great coach, one of the best around and a sound fella, not a good manager.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Yeah Charlie. Imagine wishing a fellow LOI club out of existence. The cheek of you.
I do not understand the mental attitude of some people on here wanting a club to collapse and die. Especially Shams fans considering ALL they have been true since 1987.
*Please note. I do not retract any of my previous wishes for the demise of Sporting Fingal.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
typical shels fan, getting the wrong end of the stick - thats what years in the 1st division will do to you I guess..
I've no wish to see the bozos expire- they are a huge source of comedy for all true Hoops fans.
But CD's creeping assertion that he wants to seea bohs team being a powerful force in the league- well sorry but that has to be questioned
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
Well maybe you should use words that convey what you want to say instead of the usual petulant drivel.
How being in the first Division for 5 seasons will affect my ability to understand what you spout is rather confusing. You should explain that as well.
Anyway back to what seems to be your point:- Any soccer fan/supporter understands that in a league situation that having to battle against your hated rivals is what makes it what it is. With Bohs in the doldrums, Rovers won't put the same worth on beating them as they would be as much of a danger to Shams as would UCD.
Now I know that the heady days of the last 3 years have been something for Shams fans but do you really want to have the situation that they had in Norway in the early 1990s? I don't think so. A strong Shamrock Rovers needs a strong Bohs and vice versa.

I'd add to that Bonnie, Rovers need 3-4 strong sides to push them on. Sligo look like they'll be a force this year, in the cups anyway, Derry (if they get the right man) will be up there, Shels are top-5 material and Cork won't slouch. While Pats are going to be a top-3 side if they get it together. Could be a tight league.
As for Aaron, I think some UCD fans can elaborate (and he was at Pats last year right?), as a person he's sound as a pound and witnessing his coaching (even when he was told he was gone from UCD) he didn't waver. Maybe with a good number 2 had can get it right.
His major flaw is man management, he's too hot headed and seems to lose the dressing room due to going overboard with his criticisms. He's best suited to being a number two with someone to rein him in. He wasn't the best at allocating his budget either whilst with us IMO. He is a sound guy though so I hope it works out for him.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I'm with PC on this one, Wanting your biggest rival to be a powerful force in the league? f*ck that, Let them survive so you can batter them every season and Bonnie I'm sure he would love a situation where Rovers dominate the league without any type of challenge to them. I would love it to happen to Pats
Here on a technicality.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Do you mean: "I hope Bohs are squashed and all of their fans want them to be squashed, too" or "I hope Bohs are squashed and if the shoe was on the other foot Bohs fans would want Shams to be squashed"?
@Bonnieshls: I agree with your ''basic premise" comment in post #17 but must object to the sentiments expressed in your "Please note" comment in post #7.
