Currently 0-0 between Bohs and Rovers. Rossiter just sent off.
Didnt he get sent off in the last game.
Yup, having a right old time of it :)
Crowe scores, 1-0 Bohs.
Result. Bohs to play Derry or UCD in the final.
Nice bet to have 25/1 with Paddy Power
RTE Report
Looked full strength sides. Also looks like final will be battle of the mid-table so Setanta place will be top 3 in the league at best.
Season's far from over pete. Derry and Rovers could easily finish in the top three. Who's to say UCD can't either?
And then the FAI Cup winner could be from the top three as well.
Eh?!?
Just in. Ref was atrocious, linesman on our side was even worse (for both teams). Rossiter looked very unlucky.
Bohs played well, though, couple of players looking something approaching their reputations and Rovers didn't offer too much incisive against the ten men until after they went behind. Great game though.
Their keeper almost scored a header into the top corner at the very end. :o
Seems to be a celebration party on O Connell street.

****ING RTÉ Sport!! Before they get to the match they spend the first ten seconds detailing the heightened Garda presence and the "hooligan element".
tbh this was what I was dreading. Prob scumbags fightin on O'Connell st that werent even at the game :rolleyes:
Its happening too often at LOI games and how can we attract new supporters if they hear this goin on. It was prob only 10 -20 14 year olds, but as usual in Ireland everything gets exaggerated.
Wise up scumbags, making actual fans look bad. I feel sorry for real Bohs, Rovers, Derry , Pats fans, etc who get tarred with the one brush every time.
I hope it was nothing, but really, how many "altercations" can be tolerated?
A police escort is now a riot in some people's small minds. Well done
For feck's sake, it even said on the thread linked that nothing actually went on in town.
A couple of Rovers lads escorted from the Connaught Street side after a few seats, em, combusted was all the hassle I saw.
Thought it was more myself. Connaught st holds 4,000, thought it was half full. If that's the figure I'm a little surprised. Great atmosphere I thought. One of the most tense games I've been to.
Read the 5th post in that thread linked by Colm C. He notes the high number of Celtic jersies on show in town. Yes, Celtic Colm
I saw many Celtic jersies tonight - always plenty of them at Rovers' games. This was the first game I'd been to involving Premier Division sides since November 2006 and if that is the standard every week then I'm not missing out on much :eek: :D. Poor game but there was plenty of dirty challenges which was the only interesting part of the game. I counted 75 guards inside the ground at one stage and there were many other guards outside as well as a big numbers of stewards. Probably about 150-175 personnel hired for tonight :confused:
I work with a rovers fan who was there last night. He said there were guards swinging batons at some of the known rovers fans. Of course he said it was for no reason but its hard to believe that the guards would attack the fans for no reason.
There an incident during the game when the Gardai removed a Hoop or 2 because a seat mysteriously went on fire.
Then there was the usual carry on at the end with Rovers fans climbing up onto the ad boards [some of which were damaged]
There was a bit of pushing and shoving in the Jodi as well as the gardai tried to clear the stand, and when a load of people just went to the bar they ordered the bars be closed because they hadnt done all that pushing and shoving so people could go drinking.
Taximan (not Pat Scully) told me he saw O'Connel St closed off but nothing actually happened, bar a bit of running around on D'olier St
Ah who really cares - what matters is that the "Cup Specialists" have kept up their super record of not reaching yet another Cup Final ;)
i can see bohs beating cork saturday now after that....
It's all Heary!!
That's Hearysay.
Can any Bohs fan confirm that Mick McCarthy might have been there last night to see Rossiter? :eek:
Ould fellow behind me was adamant that McCarthy had a chat with him (MR) after the Wolves game. McCarthy left at half time, too. :sherlockholmes: (TheBohs.com seem to think it was Joxer.)
