In any event, with all club salaries counted by the FAI from next year , it will be slash and burn for us in 2010.
Would it be right or fair if Bohs do not make the wage cap and be allowed to be league champions, if they win it. I mean they will have broken the rules this season, so surely they should be punished this season.
I am proud of Bohs and their general atitude to running the club. Rather live a day like a lion than a life of a lamb.
Or rather; better to live a glorious season or two as a Bohs, Cork, Shels fan than a lifetime in the RSC.
The 'all or nothing' is what makes a club great and provides amazing memories for fans.
You see how this works? It's the choice between banging Angelina Jolie once, versus a life spent with a nice plain girl who thinks blow jobs are dirty.
Life is for living. Football is the same. Glory is worth the price. Deal with it or move to Limerick.
Figuratively speaking, not in any incendiary Christmas tree sense.Quote:

So in reality, all bar one of our big earners pre-date Fenlon coming to Bohs. And the 3/4 players that were signed this year were signed on one-year €50k contracts.
Our problems are the fault of the previous board, not Pat Fenlon.
Is that a new form of urban development?Quote:

I think we're below it so far but from all sounds of it our books may be a bit messed up. Certainly missing a large tax bill is an oversight isn't it? I reckon we'll run into financial problems eventually anyway-not even that it'll be our chairmans fault too much more that money is getting so tight for the league. Rumours are slowly filtering out that we'll be a more part-time set-up next season. I'd like to see the league try to retain an element of professionalism but if it can't be done then so be it.Quote:

You are an idiot. You win the league on the pitch, yes. But why should you keep the title if you have cheated the whole season?Quote:

What Pats ever do with that Champions Of Ireland trophy?. Could we dust it off to solve a problem?.Quote:

Not saying that's what's happened; just giving a scenario to fit the facts you noted.
Hey Bozo, we'll be playing Premier next season. A lifetime of mediocrity awaits you lot. Enjoy your trips to Kildare and Monaghan.Quote:

why the hell are so many of you taking what BSG has posted as serious?? He has always posted funny, sarcastic, tongue in cheek posts here on a whole host of topics.
Sometimes i despair at the schadenfreude from posters here. Its pathetic. Sure, our old board messed up but wishing us to lose against Salzburg is pitiful. Despite our different allegiances, i always rowed in behind Drogs, Pats, Cork, Sligo etc and i enjoyed (nervously) Shels' run of a few years ago. The only team i wouldnt cheer for obviously is Rovers. And that would be out of rivalry, not out of wishing them to go out of existence.
And we're not dead and buried yet, not by a long shot, so save your unbridled joy until we are.*
* uneccessary drama but i was tired and emotional.
Proof that Bohs are the new Shels.Quote:

Sure why not throw out all the rules so? Match fixing... Go right ahead, ineligible player, we won on the pitch didn't we?.......
Your argument has more holes in it than the sale agreement for the shopping centre end.

if Bohs do have stumble for a few seasons we`ll take it on the chin and be back stronger than ever. Bohs don`t do mediocrity
boring , cheating bohs..............................they will break the salary cap, but the FAI will then tweak the rules in their favour to ensure they don't get relegated.
If course they wıll. Sure just look at the bendıng over backwards the FAI dıd to keep Drogheda Unıted ın the League.
They are ın the league on the basıs of an appeal to the grantıng of plannıng permıssıon for theır stadıum ın the sky. I wonder what theyll do now to keep them ın the league along wıth Bohs.
I know at thıs tıme of year we all have a cyber group hug and wısh all LOI teams well ın Europe. Persoannly, I hope Bohs are hammered and the the second leg ıs only a matter of course.
Some of the comments on bohs web are absolutley priceless. The sheer nonchalance and refusal to come to terms with the financial meltdown that awaits, suggests that you lot will be wallowing in mediocrity for a long time to come.Quote:

So we have to start thinking of other angles. The bar is the obvious one to look at. It has to be run properly!!! For starter a few pokie machines in the bars will bring in some dosh, get rid of those fruit machines, there not worth a ******. I know for a fact pokies bring in good money. i have experienced it. Have a Chinese night every so often. They love there own private room with music and they would love the pokie machines aswell. Why isnt the bar open during the day with cheap booze. I dont know the reason, if someone wants to fill me in? Can we hold gigs in Dalymount or is there health and safety reasons?
Here's another one -
definitely think that now this is out in the open that there should be massive agressive marketing from the club to get new members in.
I would even go as far as having special memberships schemes. Maybe something like 10% discount for our Polish, Chinese, other minority friends, to try and entice them in.
Lets beat up the journo who blew our financial cover up -
whoever is leaking this should **** off dont give me ah we new this already ****e. I hope the person leaking this is found out an gets a good hiding the ****. Dont usually agree with violence but whoever this ***** is he deserves what he gets should be ****ed out of the club aswell! Conway should not be talking to the the journo either, should just ignore them.
You couldnt make that up. :D
The Discover Ireland League awaits
P.s.
come on salzburg!!
Yeah I usually support LOI teams in europe , but the manner in which bohs go about a match is a joke.
There plan last night was to get Michael daly sent off , right from the first whistle they where at him.niggling, pushing him ( and all that comes from the scumbag manager of theirs) they will get beaten on tuesday night by Salzburg (10-0 i hope)..............I couldn't see the challenge for the red card , according to RTE is that it was Harsh...............that tells its own story
