Bohs 0-0 Rovers - Replay Tuesday

sligo rovers supporters hae never sang racist songs are has racist banners.

we showed support for our player after a scumbag racially abused him. WTF does he expect. this is an utter disgrace!!!

i cannot understand how our club arnt standing up for its supporters who travel the whole country following the team. not one member from the club has come out and stood by the fans.

bohemians rang the club?? f**k them!! wonder did anyone from SRFC ring them when mcguinness abused boco. doubt it. would be better if they praised us instead of seeing us as a hindrence to the club!

wonder did anyone from SRFC ring them when mcguinness abused boco


I know for a fact that when Boco was racially abused that a lot of phone calls where made and letters sent from the Showgrounds to Dalymount park to let Bohemians know of the clubs displeasure at this disgraceful incident.And indeed on the day of the hearing both Paul Cook and Mary Mc Gowan went with Boco although only Boco was requested to go.Bohemians where well aware of how the club felt.I am sure that hundreds of our supporters will travel to Dalymount Park on Friday night and will probably be heard back in the Showgrounds as usual all I ask is that we give our reply to what happened on the pitch.

all im saying is that anything mcguiness got, he fully deserved. no one done anything wrong apart from him!

thanks for letting us know r.e. clubs reaction to boco incident. was only asking the question. rommy is a fans favourite, and hasnt got a bad bone in his body, and for some c**t to cme dwn from dublin and racially abuse him is unforgiveble. especially with the leagues supposed stance on racism. every game during the match the announcer reads out the rule about not condoning any sort of racist remarks etc and anyone found doing so ill be removed from the ground. the word nazi is not a racist word.

it'd be a different story if someone threw something at him or tried to go for him obviously. but songs or banners are the least he should get for what he done. if anyone racially abused a friend of somone on a night out they'd get a smack.

So are we even allowed to boo the pr..ick.....If were not not allowed to do anything then How come the bohs fans applauding him in the showgrounds dont get threatened with anything coz their applause for him could be construed as condoning racism??

Ill tell ya why its because thy were standing up for their own player{even if he is a racist pr..ick hes one of their own} and anyone singing the jason wherever you may be song was standing up for our own.and will somebody telll the bohez stewards that its not actually a racist chant because the only person or demonination abused is that 1 swine.

the fans are doing nothing wrong singing that. lets see them try and kick the whole singing section out on friday night if its sung.

im sorry but i cant agree with this threat from bohs. we are standing up for our own player who goes out everygame for the club and gives his absolute all for sligo rovers. hes a credit to the club and the fans and he was picked on for being black basically. totally and utterly OUT OF ORDER

you really have to admire bohs in a way.
they are completley in the wrong here but are trying to take the moral high ground.
They moan and complain about everything that doesnt suit them and they usually get away with things.
Its the same in the games, they keep at the ref for 90 mins putting pressure on him. They know how to manipulate situations on and off the pitch to work in their favour rather than just accepting decisions.
Maybe we could learn a thing or two from them

Find the whole thing sickening to be honest. I think you are spot on in everything you say.
There's no point giving the incredibly pro Bohs FAI another stick to beat us with though and even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with any song or banner we have to let it go now.
Leaves a bad taste in the mouth all this. We'll see how hard the FAI come down on them if Shams win the league and Bohs end up exceeding the 65% rule.

The Club must now stand 100% behind the fans, as these fans have demonstrated their 100% support for the Club and players over the last 2 years or so, since this group has formed.
They have game after game come up with some unbelievable banners and displays. They sing from begining to end, even if we are winning or loosing.
The JASON banner was a clear message to all, that Sligo Rovers will not tolerate racist remarks to our players. He was not banned for 5 matches for nothing. Sligo Rovers must defend our supporters against this Dublin bias. They must contact the FAI and demand this is thrown out.
A lot of credit has to be given to the guys who come up with these banners. I have spoken to one of the guys behind this banner, and he has told me it had a double meaning. The Tuesday of the game was actually the EXACT date of the 70th anniversary of the start of WW2. 1st September 1939. Remarkable or what? This banner was anti racist. Sligo Rovers is anti racist and our supporters are anti racist.

Does that include their players?

I'm going up to Dalymount to see a football match and cheer on Sligo Rovers to a place in the Cup Semi-final and to be honest nothing else is on my agenda.

While I have no sympathy for McGuinness whatsoever I don't think it is for me to display moral indignation on behalf of another person for something that is in the past and that by all appearances has been dealt with by all parties who have moved on from it, particularily Romuald Boco who I suspect has no desire to see all this become an issue again.

Come on The Bit o' Red!

LOL at the whole Jaysist thing it obviously got to him and Fenlon , anyway back to game we have to start Ventre and o'grady in midfield or else bohs will plough through us so it looks like we will have to chance Camaro at the back not much choice unless Gerry Carr fancies a game would keep Morrsion on the bench as Cash is playing great at the moment its like having a new signing , anyone going to the game needs to be wary of the bohs stewards as they love a chance to refuse admission they are external and hired by Bohs and don't care about loss of revenue as they get paid anyway ,loads of bohs fans have had problems with them also so its not just us.

Its great we have boco back for this one, but unfortunatly the hero of last teusday, Alan Keane is missing this one and we will probably have to settle for Camano in defence again.

-------------Brush--------------
Boco---Camano---Peers---Kendrick
Morrison--O'Grady--Ventre--Doyle
-------Cretaro---Blinkhorn-------

That team should be well able to beat them, and if i'm not mistaken, we are stronger than what was put out in the EA Sports Cup, its amazing how the return of Peers can make such a difference and Deegan missing for them is a massive blow.

Stand up for the Bit O' Red :cool:

So Bohs will throw anybody out who has an anti racist banner, makes a change from the rest of Europe :D

Be cute until u get into the ground and then shout your head off for the bit of red- we wouldnt sing any racist and certainly no racist banners but the JASON banner did seem to get to them so it should make another apperance as the strewards will get the coppers to remove it - the have done it before - common sense, it seems, has no place in football stewarding???

Anyway after they take the banner away we should be one up with Jayo on a yellow and complaining to the ref that the BOR supporters are singing songs about him been a racist (mind you the song has a very strong ending!)....the FAI need to get a grip and try not sterilise football this sort of tribalism and hatred of the opposition is what makes the game great!!!

Come on da BOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know if we are in the usual spot in the Jodi stand or the uncovered NAMA stand opposite ?

he wont be playing anyway so im sure it wont be as much as the last day.

This has been blown out of all proportions. It was an anti racism banner and as someone said, Bohs, have tried to take the moral high ground which is absolutely ridiculous.

On to the match, can't wait for this. Should be a large crowd of us there and a hopefully cracking atmosphere like the league cup game. Have a feeling something special's gonna happen. More than likely not, but one can dream eh? Danny Ventre to score the winner in the last minute of E/T. "I saw my mate.." :D

C'mon the Bit O' Red :)

Don't be ridiculous. Jim Flanagan is obviously the favourite to score a last minute winner :cool:.

Hope we're in the Jodi Stand. Looking forward to the best ever rendition of "Stand up for the Bit o Red". The Forza lads are the most loyal group of Rovers supporters I've seen over the years. Personally, I'd forget about Jason McGuinness. I'd say he's learned his lesson. We should move on! Does anyone know any new Pat Fenlon songs?

It's the same group for the last few years really.

Don't know what to make of tomorrow, it is all about staying up but a cup q-f is not something to let pass by. Replay would be great for everyone.
