Great result for Bohs, created very little throughout the game which makes it even sweeter. Although should never have been a red and Shams got away without a sending off when there was a few bad tackles.
We better win Saturday to keep the pressure on.
Sligo's to lose now IMO ;)
We don't do things the easy way...should of won by at least three but got complacent.... as for the Bohs fans reaction at the end, you'd swear they'd won the league, understandable but actually kinda sad that is now for them the highlight of their season... anyway the choice of music in Tallaght tonight said it all " we'll meet again don't know where don't know when...." guess as a club they've now moved to a place where they are to be more pitied than anything else so enjoy your LSL or Div one tour next season and wonder how long you'll live off the memory of one point in Tallaght from 18 before you get a chance to play there again...cheerio
ps and yes you are going bust and we'll be having a party with our millions
I wouldnt get too smug. Just remember yourselves as a club were there at one point, came back stronger than ever. I'm no lover of Bohs to say the least, but 'd never write them offQuote:

What exactly is MON saving Twigg for?
Not being smug... just telling it like it is, they enjoyed our tough years and some of their supporters were ignorant enough about it and enjoyed gloating I've not interest in that...my point is that their reaction tonight really summed up how far they have allowed themselves to fall... and at a risk of being accused of smugness I firmly believe they don't have a membership that has the capability of organising themselves to get out of their problems anytime in the next number of years... IMO they are (regretfully) going to 'die' slowly and that's why i feel a certain amount of pity for their 'decent' fan/sQuote:

The rest of your post just shows how ****ed off you are at not winning tonight. Thanks for that!
Delighted Bohs pulled that out of the fire -- fair play to Cronin, he put in some shift, grafted the whole night. Fair play to Nutsy, the subs worked, admittedly Shams simply went into second gear and were sucker punch.
Two big games for Sligo Rovers v Bohs, league and cup. If we would the league, I wouldn't be devastated if Bohs got the Cup -- particularly considering their finances.
League is wide open -- Shams, Sligo and/or Derry could conceivably take the title.
Still, and all, would love to pull of the double:]
Great result for us , had to enjoy the fact that shams fans were bleating on their forum about us playing against teams that have players sent off so much recently , then they go and fail to beat a team down to ten men themselves :)
Is it me or were there a lot more Bohs fans there tonight than there were first time around? It looked like a very good turnout considering kick-off was at an awkward time. Like I said, can't begrudge them a result they earned. Bohs fans should be livid with SRFC Agent Downes though.
As stated on Setanta...the second yellow could just as easily being a peno (depending on the ref etc)...Hopefully that game will be Bohs cup final! Again, well done Bohs, I thought Shams were very cynical see the cut of McCabe/Rice doubling up on Brennan and as for Turner...pure evil.Quote:

I reckon the ref was just fed up with him by the time of the dive. In any case, going down to 10 men seemed to inspire a great performance in Bohs. I don't understand why Flood didn't start up top in the first place - he destroyed the Rovers defence in the first game at Dalymount and did much the same in the second half tonight. I don't know if he just lifts his game against Rovers but he is a joy to watch at times.
edit: a joy in the objective sense, not the "he's scoring against my team again" sense.

Bray, UCD, Derry, tough games...

Just wondering...........
...is that the same club you're on about?
Of course I'm annoyed that we threw away 2 points.... but my comments/opinions re the state of your club have nothing to do with the result, I felt that way before the match , the bottom line is whether we win or lose out on the league this for us will be a hugely succesful season in terms of our upward progress in terms of structures etc. We have a clear long term plan to embed purselves in the community, maintain 3000 plus season ticket holders, remain financially viable, put in place underage coaching/training/coaching facilities and remain compeditive on the pitch... my point is that your fans of course enjoyed last night's result as in comparison to us you IMO have little to look forward to.Quote:

I know what's it's like to have that concern for my club and believe you me I wouldn't wish that sceanario on any genuine fan which I've no doubt you are... anyway hope you do us a favour and play like that against both Sligo and Derry.
I thought Tomney was having a great game up until he sent the Bohs player off. When players and managers are trying to get the opposition booked and sent off at every opportunity the ref has no chance. Bohs did deserve a point they battled hard, Rovers created alot of their own problems last night.
Its all still in the mix and will probably go to the last day with 3 teams in with a shout.
Not the most professional of 2nd half displays from the Champions last night.
we had our foot on their throat and MON took it off lest we got a strain.
As for boez celebrating like it was the league won.....thats exactly how we would be in their situation,god forbid.
Squeaky bum time.
