Physical tackles..ie careless or reckless tackles and hands on the back when jumping for the ball, are both punishable by free kick if you check 'The Laws of the Game'.

As for nearly booking the rest of the team...Hunt and Ward were the only Bohs players booked, Reynolds was booked for Shels.

From the stand, it looked like there was a fairly even spread of free kicks, tho shels may have got a couple more.Probably down to the fact that they had more possession hence the more likely bohs would concede a free kick.

A typical Dublin derby, there was a cracking atmosphere in the ground, but must say that there seemed to be an undercurrent of nastiness among some supporters obviously relating to the transfer of the 3 players. The sending off apart the game seemed to be played in a good spirit.

Its easy to blame kelly when he sends off one of your players and gives a penalty against your side(both decisions correct IMO from my seat).Im sure that if the decisions were in your clubs favour,you wouldnt complain. :ball:

Its a dublin derby and there was a lot of **** in the run up to the game.

Add in the three ugly sisters, Ollie's antics and the pitch graffitti and the atmosphere was never going to be friendly.

The atmosphere at the game was quite good IMO.

:p

When I said boycott Tolka, I meant YOU should boycott tolka....

I was there to ensure that the Boycott was strictly enforced!

it was a great success and observed by all!


as for the game it was great to watch a game at pitchside - one that i wasnt emotionally involved in. You really come away with a greater appreciation for the skill and speed of the players in this league, even if in this case they were mostly a shower of wánkers. :D

I never saw much in Tony Grants game before last Friday but sure enough the man can play some. Bohs have ruined Dessies career. End of. A graveyard for great players.

Highlights for me was Bobby Ryan taking a corner beside me and this mad bohs fan chasing him down to the corner screaming "I hope you die! I hope you die! I Hate you ryan!" the little linesman fella told bobby not to hang around and just take the corner - the cops were too busy ****ing themselves laughing to do anything - you had to be there - unless u were observing the boycott, that is

The funniest bit is your man coming back down for the next corner "As I said earlier, I hope you ****ing die!!!!"

This hatred was way way beyond football matters.

Actually, I think we should get over the three judai at this stage. They're gone, and most don't want them back. I certainly don't think we would be doing any better if they had stayed.
Back on topic -- I thought the best observation was Gareth Farrelly's, that the match was reffed by Alan Reynolds! :cool:

Alan Kelly has always been poor. He's not biased towards any teams, he's just a shockingly poor referee.

The sending off was correct, without a doubt (even walking over to the pub afterwards I heard some Bohs fans say he was a disgrace and they never want to see him in "the shirt" again :)).

Didn't have a clear view of the penalty myself, so I can't really comment on that.

The sausages was a bit pathetic, and although the JUDAS painting made me laugh, it is criminal damage. And I know someone will retort with "it's just a bit of fun", if Shelbourne fans had done something similar in any other ground there'd be uproar and calls for fines and bans.

Good atmosphere, good game. Not the best Shelbourne performance ever, but its a step up from how we have been playing. Long may it continue in that direction.

The sending off was fully justified no complaints there.

But the Des Byrne tackle must have done some damage to pi sspants inner-ear as you will see from the replay of the "penalty" incident.

If you can't be bothered to wait until Eircom League Weekly you can get some highlights off the Bohemians official site here.

The footage includes some of the "flavour" of the match too which definately won't be broadcast on TV3

[QUOTE=bohs til i die].

Judas Ryan/Crowe banners werent allowed in. The body searches and searching of kids was a complete joke.

[QUOTE]

we have had to put up with it at your kip for years. now its your turn its 'a complete joke'?

interesting that the pigs head incident caused outrage amongst the gypos, but the graffiti in tolka was acceptible?

can one of the black and tans explain the difference between tony grunts treatchery and that of the 3 stooges? and why its acceptible to treat rovers fans like s hite in the connaught and complain when the same happens to you? is there a c awk-esque hypocricy here?

The differance is that Rovers fans "deserve" it. :p

Loved Hawkins "call me" signal ;)

A few people are upset about the searches but the majority aren’t. The searches inside the ground 20 minutes after some of us were searched outside the ground was out of order though, and the cops generally not having a clue what they are doing was funny. They initially refused to allow one of our physio’s and several first team squad members back to the dressingrooms from the Riverside near the end of the game before being told to get a grip.

The pigs head 16 months ago was class, and one of the funniest things I have seen at an EL ground. Not too many Bohs fans giving out about that in fairness.

Tony Grant joined Bohs, the other 3 left. Thats the difference. Could you not work that out for yourself.

As for the Hoops getting searched going into Dalymount, at this stage, the Bohs v Rovers fixture has a history of violence so therefore searches are going to happen.

Some Bohs fans decided to bring along a pigs head to our game but it was taken off them at the gate

i would go back to my 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' theory, but the c awkies didnt like it, and they close threads they dont like.

abusing judas type players is part and parcel of the game, its just a bit rich of some bores fans to go mental when its filth players on the recieving end!

and i think we can all expect to be searched going into tolka now, oilies presence alone puts the game into category a!

Right you are RTID.
I too have noticed how Shamrock Rovers lately have taken to imitating noble and established football clubs like Barcelona and Bohemians and the way they like to do things. :cool:

Are you capable of talking about Bohs without mentioning the word filth, or has it developed into a tick? What do you want us to do, all shout back 'Rovers scum', and have a big panto scene? Shall we all put on playground voices too? You could squeal 'filth' with a squeaky lisp. :D
Anyway, I don't remember much of a fuss or mental-going over hoop-hatred of the now very popular Bohemian Tony Grant. It wasn't that special. If you ask me, all of this pork stuff is as childish as your ignorant name-calling.
Do you have anything to say about football?

And equally a pub full of Hoops laughed long and loud when we saw the TV pictures of Judas painted on the pitch at Tolka. There was even mutterings of "fair fcuks to Bohs" :eek:

Although we did laugh louder when Crowe scored the winner while standing on the said graffitti.

Seriously though, I thought the Judas was great and so did everyone else I spoke to. Some people are just looking to be offended and the graffitti was the least objectionable thing to be done in Tolka over the last few months.

In fact out of all the players "lost" to us only two would have been gladly retained by the fans, Webb (at Drogheda) and Crowe (at Shels, despite his lousy return of goals this season). I would have given (and so would almost any bohs fan) Ryan and Hawkins a jockey-back to Tolka to rid ourselves of them. Hawkins in particular is the most over-rated over paid heap in the EL. Plain and simple he was lousy value while at Bohs and is even worse value at Shels.

Keep up the payments lads.

Yeah you've a fantastic way of showing how little they mean to you.

If it isn't breaking into the ground and spray painting messages to them, it's ringing them 24/7 or every second message on gypoweb being about them and Shels. Jilted lover would be the impression I'd get from that if I didn't know better and hadn't been told how little you all cared.

Hawkins has been outstanding btw, one of our best performers this season.
