Farrelly gone?

[NY Hoop]

A fan of Shamrock Rovers, the scummiest sporting organisation on the foot of the planet with its vermin support, is the last person who should judge another club

You must be a WUM if you come out with that. Small little club who abuse every manager you get cos he doesnt win a league. Mahon was spat at and Farrelly was nearly attacked by one of your OWN stewards.

But of course I made that up. And we'll ignore the eye witnesses.:rolleyes:


KOH

[NY Hoop]

Yes please, any eye witnesses who saw Mahon being spat at please come forward. Go back to robbing cars you muppet :rolleyes:

The man himself? And scum "calling" around to his house too.

Rowe has been fantastic for us and was IMO man-of-the-match last night. I'd have thought that a man like yourself would know that players can be completely different animals under different managers. Rowe is streets ahead of Mark Quigley but Quigley played for us under Roddy.....
You're more than welcome to the mercenaries like Quigley and Molloy... I've long believed that there's a ridiculous tendency in this country to overpay journeymen while discounting "kids" and guys who've failed once. I'm confident that Rovers and Pat Scully will show that to be the nonsense it is next season.


Didn't see the game. Not saying he won't have his moments but he was a year with us and was ****e for most of it. Too early for me to compare him to Quigley (and you vice versa I guess) but so far I'm not impressed with him. (Don't know one Pats fan who is tbh) Think its hilarious that Quigley's a mercenary and Rowe is a kid who's failed once. Their career paths are fairly similar and we'll see.

Oh and LOL @ the journeyman comment. His signing of Vinnie Perth (and his time last year in Kilkenny) suggests he'll sign as many journeyman as he can afford. His hand is forced at the moment and he's doing well but don't kid yourselves it'll be as easy next year (and I'm sure you're not)

back on topic; Worst Bohs team ever

[NY Hoop]

In fairness most players couldnt care less who they play for. It's just that our players are young and are getting more or less minimum wage therefore they are hungry to succeed. Having a professional manager instead of the joker from last year helps too.

....and being in a division lower helps three.....

[BohsPartisan]

Is that the joker you hounded out? :D

[WeAreRovers]

....and being in a division lower helps three.....

Helps us knock Premier Division opposition out of both cups? Don't see it myself, we were simply better than Pats and Bohs on both occasions.

BohsBohsBohs - Have a lie down mate, okay you were knocked out of the cup by your bitterest rivals, your season's over, your team are the worst I ever remember. But that's no reason to talk nonsense like "scummiest sporting organisation on the foot of the planet with its vermin support" Bitterness isn't big and it isn't clever. ;)

.......as Dodge alluded to those players would not find the going so easy in the Premier (and that has been proven in a few of their cases). Cup competitions are a separate kettle of fish altogether, everyone knows this. Fair dues on a good result but its far from a sound basis for basing those posts on. I wasn't impressed with Dundalk in our cup meeting in any way, yet they are right up there so far in the First Division.

Rovers have a different age profile to the likes of Dundalk - who have several "experienced old pros" (read: portly gentlemen) therefore they are the fittest of the First Divisioners ive seen

[Block G Raptor]

That's news to me and everyone else living in the real world.

I'm afraid our Rovers friend is right on this one BBB. his window's were also put in

[Irish Fan]

Well i herd that Liam Buckleys windows were put in by Rovers fans when they wanted him out of there club?

[NY Hoop]

I heard that beetlejuice is the new boez manager


KOH

[Peadar]

No, no, no, Malcolm Glazer put them in. He was looking to takeover the club. :D

[onenilgameover]

This is probably not my place but.....I've been going to bohs games (only bout 6 a season) euro's games and matches with rovers and cup games fot about 6 six years now. I wouldn't consider myself to be a bohs fan really but I look to see their match scores on the night if I'm not there and I have a shirt. To be honest I think at this stage Bohs fans are a joke and after last night I'ill not be supporting/semi-supporting them. The way they have treated their managers is a disgrace and last night was the end for me. Farrelly having to be taken off with stewards guarding him while the tunnel was thumped and people sang ''we want Farrelly out''. Now he hasn't been great for sure but that kind of reaction along with how they treated Kenny is just not on...now you could tell Kenny was a good manger and you can certainly tell that now. I was there when the fans called for his head and to be honest you could hear in their voices that they didnt know what they were saying...

Bohs fans wanna cop on.... this cant go on for ever...There is too much power there and the use of it is poor...

[Roverstillidie]

Well i herd that Liam Buckleys windows were put in by Rovers fans when they wanted him out of there club?

but we never wanted him out :rolleyes:

you can figure the rest out yourself

[bohs til i die]

The facts have already been stated.
You've hounded out all your mangers, even when they brought you success. You think no manager is good enough for you. You deserve everything you get now for the way you treated Mahon and Kenny.

Peadar, These are the facts for the past 12 months ....... Our budget last year was about €950,000 and it'll be about €1,050,000 this year. If Cork's results were similar for this kind of outlay would you be happy?

Some FACTS about Gareth Farrelly's time as Bohs manager .....
Bohemians beat Finn Harps in Ballybofey in Mid July 2005. Since then Bohs have played TWELVE games outside Dublin [in League and FAI Cup] and the record is abysmal …..

Also Peadar, Kenny was sacked a few months before the end of his contract. At notime up until the 40 seconds or so at the end of the Levadia Tallinn game did he ever receive any major stick from Bohs fans.

[bohs til i die]

Farrelly was hounded out by the most fickle fans in the league.
I thought our fans were bad!
How many managers have you forced out in the past 6 years, 4/5?

Glad Pete Mahon and Stephen Kenny are getting the respect they deserve now. Farrelly will get his chance again.

I heard a rumour that Dolan is on his way to Dalyer.
You're welcome to each other!

Peadar

Since 1990 we have had 7 managers.
In the same time Cork have had 9 managers.

Stephen Kenny's time at Bohs was up. His contract was nearly finished and thinks were on a slide. Kenny may or may not have turned it around but his time had come and gone and he looks like he has learned from those mistakes. Kenny was not hounded out.

I still believe the board made the right call regarding Kenny. It was either get rid or extend contract and only one option was realistically going to happen.

However thats were it all went pear shaped and they appointed a tosser in Farrelly who was after a handy near to spend his days seen as he couldnt get a deal anywhere else and this was the least embarassing route for him.

Mahon was hounded out after he dismantled a title winning squad into a complete sham. At one stage we were in the promotion/relegation playoff spot after something like 15 games.


For all this bull**** about managers being hounded about, we have had one of no worse a turnover of managers in the league in the past 16 years then most other clubs.

[BohDiddley]

Nice to see some facts injected into a foot.ie discussion.

[monutdfc]

Not having a go here, but it does always surprise me that here in internet land all Bohs fans still maintain they were correct to get rid of Kenny.

(I saw most Bohs home games under Kenny and I thought it was a mistake at the time and still do.)

In terms of timing it was the right thing to do in my opinion.

We were struggling to put a run together
It took 7 attempt to win a home league game that season
We lost twice to Dublin City
We got knocked out of Europe by the team who we beat 3-0 only 3 years earlier
Kenny's contract had only a few months left to run. If Farrelly's contract was up this year and not the end of 2007 he'd probably have got sacked 3 months ago.

The mistake IMO was the replacement, not the sacking of Kenny.

No one can argue that Kenny is not a good manager. But he was sacked purely on the basis of his performance at Bohs, which was poor and getting poorer, though perhaps not of Farrelly proportions, and not reflecting the resources that he had.
It would be very useful if boards of management could consider a manager's performance at his next club, post-sacking, but the Bohs board only had his current trends to work on. The team had no drive, no momentum and the spirit was gone. Kenny was tired, and it showed on the field and most transparently in post-match interviews. Club and manager both needed a change. It did Kenny good, and good luck to him. It didn't help the club because of the ill-advised appointment that followed, but, with a bit of luck on our side too, that may be about to change.
