Tonights latest

It was Halloween. Parents have different stuff to do with their children (eh, eh). Our crowd of 100-150 was no more reflective of our usual support than Bohs' (frankly pathetic, but hey, we'll skip over that) support of 200-250.

If Bohs win their court case on Tuesday, will the celebrations be long and hard in Phibsboro? No they won't. No Dublin team has any major connection with their locality.

Surprised at the tabloidesque reaction from Reiteoir, letting one e-mail from someone I've never heard of colour his views.

Still, we'll have a club next year. It's not every eL fan can say that for certain.

On the game, thought Bohs were very poor. I appreciate they didn't care as the league was wrapped up, but I was genuinely surprised that a team who've strolled through the league could actually play as badly as that. Still, roll on re-grouping in the First.

stu, this kind of post is the very reason why plenty of loi fans w9ill be glad ye are going down, its bitterness at its best... i understand you may be upset because your team is going down but at the end of the day your team had a chance to stay up tonight and yet ye couldnt even muster up 100, thats not good going!

but yet all you do is give out about the fact that bohs did not bring more fans ( to a meaningless game for them on a night where there was a fair chance that they couldnt find their penis for a while afterwards)

belfield isnt a great place to go... get your own fans and dont be whinginging

Meaningless game for us and the worst away trip in Ireland. Seriously, I was out in Belfield anyway and it took a major act of will to stay for the match, whereas I'll gladly drive to Cobh next week. It was anything but menaingless for you lot.

Get real - maybe UCD fans would celebrate a court case, just like you celebrate your solvency - if we win the cup though, people in D7 will know all about it

YOu must admit, its a bit off the radar from a UCD fan....

Brennan and Fenn were left out because they arrived late. It was McGill's first start (I think) - Singh hasn't played in an age. Cronin hasn't started in long time; nor has Oman - my guess is, a lot of players were being looked at in light of next season, and their future at the club. Agree it wasn't pretty, but you should have seen us against Pats last week when it counted....

I disagree with this

I can see why people are complaining about UCDD crowds, but in fairness, if Bohs can only muster up 200-250 for a match being played across town, its not UCDD who should be worrying about their support !

Agree with that, terrible crowds from both sides to be honest. You'd expect it with UCD though but Bohs have plenty more fans than that, and regardless of whether the league is wrapped up or not, there's no defending that turn-out.

nobody has said bohs shouldnt have had more at the game,
the point is this was a relegation scrap for ucd yet they didnt even muster up 100 fans and then their fans come on here giving out about the bohs crowd???????? makes no sense

Delighted they've been relegated. :D

Delighted to be certainly up for next year. Our longest run in the Premier continues...for another year at least.

It was great that RTÉ managed to pick the most entertaining Bray match this year to cover.

You'll find sonofstan, a Bohs fan, was the one who came on here moaning about UCD's attendance.

And you'll also find that i never said anything about whether our crowd was satisfactory or not until Stu criticised us (for having twice as many fans there as the home team....)

The whole petty discussion has its origins in you moaning about our home crowd.

Nope, it has its origins in me pointing out Bohs' appalling travelling support last night. The difference, of course, is that we fully accept our crowds are small, whereas Bohs have some delusional notion that they're the "Big Club", and yet they can barely muster 200 for a trip across town to watch the champions?

jesus its like being in school...he started it!

the bohs crowd wasnt good, the ucd crowd was pathetic at best for a game of such importance to them...we should just agree that the crowd was not good and let ucd prepare for the 1st division

The game was of no importance to us.

bohs fans all accept that the crowds are not good enough but i still dont understand why you feel the need moan about it when you didnt even have 1/3 of the crowd there yourselves, how was it of no importance to you lot? you had a chance of staying up didnt you? i think if any other team had been in your position last night it would have attracted a decent crowd

Getting away from the sad discussion on crowd size (can we all agree that eL attendances are a disgrace and move on please)...

Who was that goon you had at right full last night, and what right has he to call himself a footballer?

Brian Shortall. Why?

And we were down long before last night, so it was no importance. I'd say three wins from the last three games wouldn't've kept us up.

Fair play to Bray. Did us a massive favour.

Between us and Galway now.

Are you saying you don't know why?
Kicked Harpal Singh about the place for fun, and openly and repeatedly went out of his way to threaten him. Not that the highly-trained officials took a blind bit of notice. I'm glad he, like you, is resigned to going down.

Openly and repeatedly went out of his way to threaten him?! In fairness, Shorty has been a bit loose in his tackles recently, but I'm not sure how you make that out. Though I was the far end of the stand.

Interesting you don't comment on the Bohs lad who dug his knee into Darren Meenan's back as he was on the ground. These things come and go. That's not to defend them, but there's no point getting continually and one-sidedly worked up whenever something physical happens in football.

To more important matters Stu, did you hear me shouting "PINEAPPLE" when you cycled past?

Out of interest, how many games have ye had televised this year? Too many anyway imo, although last night's game was good.

I understand your point, and generally I agree. But this chap's behaviour was simply thuggish, and beyond what one should have to pay to see in a football match. That's why I commented on it.

Em AFAIK...

Galway home
Galway away (Cup QF)
Bohs away (only picked because Bohs could've won the league that night)
Cobh home (I'd say it was only picked because it was a relegation battle)

Don't think that's too much.

It's 1-1 in the battle of the Rovers.
Athlone beating the Youths 1-0.

2-1 to the bit of red now

sligo win 2 1 with a very depleted team. we cant afford to be down 3 first teamers. brush was superb in the goals. harsh result on shams. they deserved a draw

Thrilling second half in the battle of the rovers.
Few dodgy decisions will be the talking piont.
First time this season i can say the luck tilted in our favour.
Great atmosphere. Great Crowd.

I get tired of Bohs fans trying to highlight UCD players when you have caused UCD alot of damge.

You use the word Thuggish. Harpal Singh was on the pitch approx. 30 mins. I saw nothing to warant that word towards Shorthall.

Who was the Bohs player who chose to feign injury ( similation, threathening a fellow player with a yellow card.) in front of your fans in the second half.

Jason Byrne chose the go full plet, two-footed, studs up, into one of our players late in the game. Because he can, he's Jason Byrne and Bohs. Luckily our midfielder was too quick for him.

I never accept criticism of UCD players from Bohs fans after that ignorant player Avery John ended Peter Hanrahan's career in a cup match at Dalymount.
Because he could, he's Avery John..... and Bohs.
