Games Monday 29th August

Not sure how Keith Long is still Bohs manager today. It's pretty clear the fans have run out of patience with him and he can't get a tune out of the players anymore. Sad it's ending like this cause he's done a really good job all things considered and the European run will be remembered for a long time but things come to an end eventually.

Gifted Pats that second goal.
Our defence look like they have never played together.
In fact, our entire team looks like they have never played or trained together. I know Long signed a load during the window, but the lack of any organisation is criminal.

He should have been gone after the first round of games. That the club threw money at him in the window to sign so incoherently and players on multi-year deals is just fckn mental. The team is an absolute shambles since last season and he needs to go. I dont think he will though. Its all too comfy over there.

Is the length of Long and his backroom staffs contracts the problem? Seen it hinted somewhere it would take a fair wedge to pay them off and maybe they think with no danger of relegation they’ll see where the rest of the season takes them…..

Just got an email from the Members club , Bohs are restricting us to 350 tickets for Sundays match leaving over half the Des Kelly empty. (Pats had 800 last night)
So much for us giving Bohs 1000 tickets for the last match in Tallaght and not issuing any "letters" condemning the amount of Pyro and crap thrown onto the pitch during the match given the Bohs boards "letters" after they lost the last match in Dalymount.

Youd have thought they would have decided to grow up given we stopped the tit for tat BS with the 1000 tickets.
Cant help thinking its more deflection after another bad loss last night trying to cultivate an us against the world attitude / jealousy as we are having a good run. Minnowisim , the Bohs board need to go

They've been poor recently but I'd say the plan is to give them to the end of the season to see if he can start getting a coherent team together and getting a few decent performances out of the new group.

Exactly. He's contracted to us to end of the 2024 season - so is Croly. A four year deal. As i said, i think it all got a bit too cushy.

I know that's the plan but I can't see what reality that plan still works if we continue to get beat and finish 7th or 8th in the league. Don't see us winning against Treaty or UCD in the cup either with the way we're playing.

Looks like Long could be on the way out,Ian Ryan would be my guess to take over….

Jeez i wouldnt like that.......a manager that actually knows how to play football and is not averse to winning trophies.
Couldnt imagine the current Bohs board going for that. How does he stand on climate change i wonder?

Is it definitely the club restricting numbers or have AGS intervened again. Either way, I don’t agree with it. You want a full-house for the Dublin Derby and a smaller away crowd dilutes the atmosphere of the match.

Nothing to do with AGS
