Not a wholesale change from Cotter then, still shutting up shop away from home rather than trying to kick on with some belief.

Im surprised there has been more talk about the red card from Bohs fans?

Why ? Most thought it was reckless. On a good day (or if it’s a Dundalk player 😁) ref could give a yellow but honestly can’t see much wrong with ref issuing red.
Good to see you still care so much about Bohs 😎

What is it about LoI fans that when you comment on another club the is an immediate chorus of 'obsessed' or in this case alluding to overly caring!?

An uncharacteristic lack of hysteria over the ref Marino. The player's reaction, teamates surrounding the ref, refusing to leave the pitch for an age, Long trying to say post match that it was harsh (albeit he did say he hadnt seen the replay). These are general talking points for this game just as much as the wailing over decisions in the Dundalk games. Every Sligo challange seemed to illicit a reaction from the Bohs crowd and they certainly were not pleased with the Red card. Neil Doyle joining the ranks of the anti Bohs refs network or Bohs have learned to be more like Dundalk already?

What's the story on Dinny and leverock?

Neil Doyle is a shams fan and was a member of their 5% club 😁 that’s why he always gets a “warm” welcome from Bohs (as most LOI fans know)
Rash tackle but no malice, if player is lucky (or Dundalk 😁) it’s yellow if not, red. Not a dirty player but doubt it will be appealed either.

In other news, football fans disagree with ref decision against their club. Shocker 😳 what next ? Dundalk manager thinks they deserve lots of penalties?

What's the story on Dinny and leverock?

heard that leverock sent a twitter from his hospital bed saying that he is getting better! as for DC not sure!

Rmoured on Bohs forum that Dinny broke a bone in his foot and is out for the season. Massive blow if true as we have very little cover up front.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

I also think Johnny Dunleavy could have done his cruciate again. Purely by his reaction at the time.

Confirmed by club, lengthy absence expected, no date for return estimated

[sbgawa]

Gutted for Dinny seems like a decent lad from any interview / countdown episode.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Will he be back for the club championship?

[Charlie Darwin]

That must have been Rovers preferred first choice last night, as I’m assuming O’Brien went in as right full at the expense of Boyle ?

Is that a 4-4-2 he is playing then if both Greene and Carr also started or is one of those sitting back a little ?

Also who was getting in ahead of Watts earlier in the season?
It's a 4-3-3 with Carr on the left and Watts on the right, but Watts tucks in and we're heavily weighted towards attacking on the left. Joey is a terrific player but he's not going to get up and down like Clarke, but he's much more solid defensively than Clarke so Watts has more freedom to play inside.

Ethan has had very little football since missing two months with a hamstring injury but, at the moment, O'Brien is keeping him out. I suspect with everyone fully fit Bradley's preferred formation is Grace, Lopes and O'Brien in a three with Boyle and Clarke as wing-backs.

Rovers fan Neil Doyle gives marginal decision that ensures Dundalk stay ahead of Rovers in the table?

You really can't get more devious and conniving than that.

Becoming a Rovers fan to mask a pro-Dundalk bias!

[redobit]

18 minutes must be the longest ever additional time in the first half of a LOI game.

[sbgawa]

under Pat Fenlon towards the end each half was 100 minutes long (or maybe it just felt that long)

who said the decision was the issue ? I simply explained why Doyle gets stick in any Bohs matches he refs - even when he has a good game.The fact that he is a sham is unforgivable, irrespective of his decisions ;)
Are you seriously claiming he is not a shams fan ? or that he doesn't give marginal decisions ?

...and he would have 'gotten away' with it too if it wasn't for master detective Darwin :cool:

Worst Harps performance in quite some time. We were absolutely awful and an average Derry side walked over us.

Thought Harps put in what was easily the worst performance of any team I've seen this season.
We were ok, didn't do much more than what was necessary. After the third, there was danger that Harps would collapse if we pushed them, didn't bother though.
Dreadful defending for our third and fourth. Harkin made his shots look so casual, suppose they were really.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

I'd think Lopez will be running clear of Joey O'Brien the next time he scores a goal after the way he grabbed him when he headed in the second

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

See him saying it’s just his hammy so not so bad

Watching Soccer Republic and the Harps lads' are spot on when they say that it was schoolboy stuff, awful defending and there should have been a second peno for Junior I think. One thing I'd always have expected from a Horgan Harps side would be resolute at the back and put a boot through a ball when needed, none of that Friday. Cork looked aimless in Tallaght until they were 2 down and then seemed to look to attack and created a couple of chances. In Oriel Kelly was served a decent square pass from Shields that he could have buried before the lucky break off Hoare. UCD kept no shape defensively, pulled all over the place and didnt take the rare chance they got.

If I were a manager Id ban backflips or players jumping on the back of another player to celebrate a goal. Injury waiting to happen, divot on the pitch or an unexpected piggyback. Steve Morrow is always the example on that!
