I don't remember talking about a pitch invasion seriously, some Bohs fan did lean over the railings to take a swinging punch at him though which is probably what I was talking about?
You also won't have found me defending O'Neill's actions at Oriel Park after the referee sent off Chambers. If he was whinging about the referee after the game on Saturday I wouldn't be too surprised - we got a player booked for diving when there clearly should have been a foul or penalty (I haven't seen a replay if inside or outside box) and for the second week in a row Bohs should have had a player sent off for an ugly challenge but didn't.
As for Fenlon, 5 trophies? If that's what it's for, fair enough. But he was doing the exact same salute to Bohs fans at the end of last season at the Carlise Grounds, and since then has won the Setanta Cup? Still reckon its for five trophies won?

and for the second week in a row Bohs should have had a player sent off for an ugly challenge but didn't.Red would have been harsh for that one I thought. Nowhere near as bad as the Pats one.

Would take some doing to be as bad as the Quigley challenge, but from a few feet away it looked very bad at the time. Late, deliberate, two-footed and with venom. I'll wait to see it again on MNS tonight for sure.

Bohs employ snake poison tactic in Dublin derby shocker!
Please....less of the hyperbole. It was a tough challenge and a foul. Nothing more nothing less.

Like I said, I'll see it agin from another angle on MNS tonight, at the time though from what I saw I don't think saying it was late or two footed or deliberate is exactly hyperbole?

Last year (at the Carlisle ground) he gave a four fingered salute - some fans took that as referring to doing four Leagues in a row until he explained it was the four throphies won todate. Since the Setanta Cup win its now five. Hope this clears up that one.
Thought the match was full on persperation and short on inspiration. Bohs had a lot of possesion but created very little. The introduction of Baker did liven up shams and they deffo finished the stronger. Didnt feel either side did enough over the 90 mins to win it. Great commitment but both teams were not unhappy with a point and in the light of later results it is probobly a point gained.

Can whoever sets up the "Tonight's latest" thread in the future do one for Bohs' and Rovers' games and one for the rest of the league?

Good plan. And can the mods then move the Bohs Rovers one to rubbish?

I ask you to do work A, not the other way around. :p
(But seriously, let's assume the problem was cos Bohs and Rovers were playing each other and it'll be that bit more refined next week. If not, we'll have a look see)

what exactly is the problem? "If you have problems with posts report them" instead of trying to be a smartarse all the time. Would you rather if Bohs and Rovers fans didnt discuss the game at all?

Exactly, there's been what, a dozen posts about the biggest derby in the league between two title challengers, which featured a clash between both squads at the end of the game, twice. Reasonably interesting stuff.

Obviously we can't all be as cuddly, fluffy and blandly inoffensive as UCD or one of the other small clubs around here

My initial post was actually meant to be tongue in cheek, but the point (and "problem" was admittedly the wrong word to use) is that Bohs-Rovers squabbles are like air bubbles in wallpaper - once one goes down, another pops up somewhere else, annoying everyone else. There's a fair few split in the rubbish forum for example.
Obviously no-one's going to stop the more reasonable ones (including this one in the main, although analysis of what gestures Fenlon gave Rovers fans is much more annoying), but if Bohs and Rovers fans enjoy them and everyone else is bored by them clogging up threads, the obvious solution is to split the thread, which is all I was suggesting.

Replay just there on MNS of the Cronin challenge, I stand by what I said earlier. For me that's a red card. There was intent to hit the player, not a mistimed tackle, he could have snapped his ankle and has followed through with the other foot to be completely sure he stopped him. He's ended up with the same punishment as if he'd tugged his jersey in that situation.

Exactly. I would have no problem with what was discussed between Bohs/Shams fans on this issue. Hardly hijacked the thread either.
Was the biggest game of the weekend, like it or not its the biggest game in our league and with a bit of controversy thrown in so actually quite interesting to hear what the respective fans thought of what went on.

Yeah, looked worse on the replay than I remembered from Saturday. Probably should have been red as it was so late and only that the Rovers player got off the ground, he could have broken an ankle.

I think you'll find he gave four fingers in Bray at the end of the season, and five after we won the Setanta Cup. Understand it now?

no, dont be stupid. As LukeO said, it was for the number of trophies he has won with Bohs. He gets his wages.

keep boasting about that ground that you rent from SDCC and the vermin that fills it. We'll keep boasting about the trophies we win.

The league cup something to boast about again now?
Sure it's not a mickey mouse cup - for this season, at least - again?
I'm sure bohs fans are happy he has something to make finger gestures about. But the sight of him last year in the brandywell trying to make a two fingered gesture, without making that two fingered gesture was laughable. For those who've seen inglorious basterds he used neither of those two. He must have practiced it, is a most unnatural contortion.
Ultimately he decided to stick to something he's good at and kissed his ring.
Didn't see his new effort, was his arm straight and palm face outwards? Maybe it's something he picked up from j mcguinness :D

Not necessarily J McGuinness, perhaps it was the bloke who's was lifted for racist chanting up in Monaghan a couple of weeks ago, or one of the hundreds screaming 'you dirty orange btard' at Alan Mannus on Saturday.

In all seriousness my previous post should come with a health warning.
Do not attempt to follow my deliberately vague, and hopefully spoiler free, description of the gesture made by pat at the brandy. In particular it may spoil, for some, enjoyment of everyone's favourite thread.
Personally I think I have hastened the onset of carpal tunnel :(

Awwww dont spoil the fun there A N M ! i dont recall the "two fingered salute" in the Brandywell so can only surmise uit was for one of the following
(1) number of contracts Nutsey was asked to sign when he joined Derry.
(2) A phrophesy that you were going to the 2nd tier of Irish football
(3) the number of games he won as Derry manager
(4) the number of seconds it took Gray, McGinn, Higgins, to decide to join Bohs. ;)
