If, as it appears, you as suggesting that Sean Connor should have been dismissed because of this "slight" on Bohemians or their fans you seem to have lost all sense of reality - a bit like Bohemians board itself over the last few years

St Pats fans or club were not offended by Rogers act (as has been made clear by posters here) Dundalk decided to be offended for them , why then did they not take the same view with Seanie ?
Connors work at Dalymount is no more relevant than Rogers work at Pats (would it be OK to do had he won a double with Pats last season ?). your view that Rogers should be dismissed for banter with Pats fans is as delusional as your clubs expectations since joining the big league (in the "last few years" while bohs board were "losing sense of reality" remember where Dundalk were :)) Enjoy your one season in the Prem.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. You're sitting arguing over labour law. It's complicated business. None of us are in the position to speculate, let alone definitively state what the outcome of any case would be, particularly when it could rest on something as difficult to define as "damage to reputation".

For B&W, the main point, and the way Rogers disrespected the club and fans, is not that he mooned, but that he did it at the wrong time and got sent off for it.

Thats not what I mean, I'm saying if he wanted to do it so bad why didnt he just wait til after the match when nobody would be paying attention, then he couldve still be in a bloody job, no whinging about unfair dismissals and none of us on here debating what a **** Stephen McGuinnes is!

Most clubs have initiatives to attract support in the current economic situation. Cork had free admission, Pats gave Cadburys creme eggs, kids go free etc etc. Bohs REDUCED the price for some games (cat B) while maintaining the price for some higher profile games (cat A). If you cannot see the difference between this approach and INCREASING prices (Ala Dundalk) I suggest you lie down and stop making a fool of yourself on this forum :)

so it IS ok to do it just as long as you wait until after the final whistle ? And for the record I think (at least) some of us were debating what a buch of hpocritical ****s the board at Dundalk are and not McGuinness.

Seven pages (on my settings) on this topic so far...?

I await the invocation of Godwin's Law by someone, soon, to end this madness.


Dundalk dismissed Dave Rogers without a fair hearing, and the Nazi's used to do the same to people they didn't like....coincidence? I think not. ;)

This is contradictory - You ask about "infringments" and a "slag off" towards away fans, suggesting that Dundalk regard this as "ok" (despite the offender being dismissed) and then suggest that these same fans were not offended!

I am very painfully aware of where Dundalk have been this last seven years, and the clubs stated goal is to retain premier status this year. You may not want to grasp the reality that Bohemians may well be in first division graveyard next season. I don't wish that on such a famous old club, but will shed no tears for either the incompetent club management or for the arrogant and deluded among its many supporters, should this come to pass.

Sacking managers has been Bohemians (expensive) speciality!

13 years is hardly 'a lot longer'. I'm sure if you continue to sell your ground every year and reach the group stages in Europe you'll be around forever.

:D

You're a laugh a minute marinobohs, Dundalk's initiative was to keep prices the same as last season, this did not have the desired effect so they raised prices but kept them as the LOWEST in the prem and it has not affected our attendances that much at all.

Now if you cannot see the difference between a club taking action (Dundalk) before any money problems arise and a club burying its head in the sand to ignore its serious money issues (bohs) then I suggest you lie down but carry on making a fool of yourself on this forum because it is entertaining.

Fair enough, sorry. I am not an expert on employment law, and don't claim to be, but rather I was just offering my (essentially worthless, legally-speaking) opinion on what happened.

I dont condone any sort of bloody behaviour either before during or after, hes a full time player and should bloody act as one but if he so badly wanted attention or to get back at Pats fans or whatever his reasoning for it maybe then he should have bloody waited til after the game when he would'nt be caught. I would like to point out again to those clowns who cant read that I am not saying that its ok for him to do it any time, what Im saying is if he wanted so abdly to do it, do it in his own time that isnt going to cost the club a game etc!
