It is ALWAYS cold in Bray. I remember when we won the League there some fans decided to have a beach party (shorts, shades and beachballs). In November.
First time I realised Bohs colours were Black, red and blue !!

Anyone else think Drogs are overpriced tonight? 10/3 away to Derry.

Have a Longford, Drogheda and Cork treble done for tonight.
I was intending on a Cork/Drogs double but threw in Longford at the last minute.
Drogs definitely the value bet with Derry missing Greacen, McBride, Molloy, Deery and Farren.
Longford should whip Mervue but the big doubt for me is the Cork game, was tempted to go for a draw in that one.
Was tempted by Sligo to win 2-0 Danny North first goal 12/1 but stuck to my treble.
You can waste so much money on LOI games. The bookies are rich enough.

Just shows the bookies haven't a clue about the LOI a lot of the time.

Bohs, I mean, jesus. You're like the old 38A bus, waiting for ages and then 4 come along (slight exaggeration). But, jesus. And sick for us, 1-1 at home to the champions elect would have been a nice boost for the weekend. but, Bohs, jesus.

Jaysus. Three points is three points but what in the holy hell was going on down there?! Great spirit from the lads however.
Kenny must be on thin ice at Rovers. They're getting worse. Aaron Callaghan is surpassing expectations at Bohs too to be fair. Owen Heary must be a great influence on him.

Extra Time updates suggesting Caschera threw in a few real bafflers tonight, two soft reds and five minutes of injury time during which he also gave a penalty to you for the winner, the equalizer having already arrived in injury time.

Superb bet, an exciting one considering Longford's comeback I'd say.

Came across this photo from tonight's game in Richmond Park on Twitter:
Shamrock look a lost cause, its hard to see how Kenny can keep his job and hard too, to see a replacement getting a challenge back on track at this stage of the season.

Waiting for the latest "FAI conspiring against us" bit from the rainy south west :p

Back from Jackman Park. 3-0 Limerick. As well as support from the Kingdom, just myself from what I'm aware lol, they had a bit of support over from the US. Not sure the penalty was a penalty. Foul looked to have been committed outside the box. Anyways decent win by Limerick. Some shock leaving the ground to news of Longford's win after chants all night of being top, going up etc.

Conspiracy theory or no conspiracy theory Phil Caschera is a shocking ref so no suprises from him anyway.
Some night between ourselves and Longford though. We put in a very good performance barring the first 20 minutes and everyone in the ground nearly was refreshing extratime for the updates. Every game now is huge with Longford just about hanging in there at the top.

I'm shocked to hear of them being beated 4-0 and to be where they are in the table. Is Kenny to return to Derry, to be sent to his spiritual homeward, to think again?

Whatever about that, I think it's debatable if Mr. Caschera is fit for purpose. But well done Longford, this is unfolding into a really good title race.

having seen Aaron Callaghan play over in England for a few seasons I think he was always likely to be a good manager. Played under one of the best in D Gradi and played with some decent players as well. Some win for Bohs tonight
29/06/2012, 9:34 PM

Caschera is ridiculously poor, like most of them. I don't think we're influential enough to have anyone giving is anything through favouritism. As for the title race you'd still have to back Limerick but that was a hell of a fight back from the Town. Showed a lot of spirit. Why we let in four is another question.

I knew him when he was at LTFC. Fantastic guy. I've always classed him as a great coach but not a manager. Maybe he's learning.
Agent Kenny return to base with Agent Brennan for debriefing by the relegator, Agent Collins, Agents Powell, O`Donnell, Greene and Oman, stand by for further instructions.

I'll be shocked if Kenny lasts the season, it'll cost a lot to get rid of him but I doubt the fans have the patience anymore. Who knows, he may even make a return to the Brandywell yet again, our discipline records a disaster with Decky, and that was one of his priorities when he got the job!

What happened in Mervue tonight was just crazy. I doubt I'll ever see anything like it again. First 20 minutes or so was even enough, both teams had chances. Then the next 25 minutes we just didn't seem bothered at all. They got a pen that never was, Chris Deans definitely got the ball, the ref didn't give it but after a few seconds of thought the lino decided to give it. Mervue dominated for the rest of the half and at 3-0 at HT, I was saying to myself that a draw would be a great result. Kirby came on at HT and grabbed the game by the balls, completely ran the show. When we got it back to 3-2 (the 2nd goal for us being a hilarious OG by Alan Murphy) I thought that there was only one winner and it'd be us, then they got the 4th and I thought it was over. Then they had Hoban sent off for mouthing, 2 yellows, looked like they were both for mouthing. Kirbs grabbed the 3rd and then Tom King also got sent off for mouthing to Caschera I think. It must have been coz I didn't see him do anything else. We laid seige to their goal from then on, and I always felt if we got 1 we'd get the winner. Got the equaliser just as the board for stoppage time went up, and the winner 2 minutes later from another dodgy penalty call imo. Unbelievable stuff though, thought I was going to have a heart attack at the end tbh!

So one player gets 2 yellows for 2 seperate incidents of dissent the other gets a straight red.....Mighty fine consistency there.
Not saying conspiracy but Caschera is crap.
Also McBride for Harps sent off tonight for spitting in his own players face what a clown.
