Game.

I remember a few years ago,maybe 8 or 9,Pats played Cork city in a crucial end of season game like this one is tonight.RTE had it on Live on a Saturday afternoon but it was a pi** poor God awfull excuse for a football match.Hopefully this wont be like that.
Its very annoying that this game is on tonight while ill be in Terryland.I'll miss the game like all other LOI fans at games throughout the league who would have otherwise watched it:mad:.

Ya very true Mr A, not sure if you remember Derry? But when you see the drop in the crowds they experienced within just a few years of be back in the league, i think it's near an impossible situation to hold crowds in the league of Ireland at more than a couple of thousand. Although there's always a first time and i think Shams will continue to do well in Tallaght for the near future.

Has never stopped people flocking to their pubs and sofas to see Liverpool-Burnley, Chelsea-Schalke or Celtic-Vienna...

Anyhoo, Pats have always been the Dublin team that annoyed me least.

I think if Bohemians do win, as I have a sneaking feeling they will, then it will be the league as good as wrapped up. On the other hand if Shamrock Rovers picked up three points then it would still be game on.

I couldn't care how entertaining the game is, as long as we get a result. While I want a win, a repeat of the 0-0 last time would be fine. We don't lose any ground with 6 games to play.

The tv audience is significantly weakened by the timing of the game. When Real Madrid play Barcelona, that is the only game on in Spain during that time. When we play the Northsiders, most others are playing. :rolleyes: It doesn't make sense.

Wonder if any of them will be blaming the Cork ref after the game if they lose?

Funny question from a mate, do FIFA know about the LOI rule that no team is allowed to have more than 3 players touch the ball consecutively.:)

Liam Brady in the crowd. He must've heard there was a big game on.

Grerat atmosphere mind and it is great to see such a big corwd at a loi game at this stage in the season. Never saw that before.

Its poor standard , but the atmosphere is coming across really well on the TV. It's a pity the players look frightened to perform.

It does look and sound like a LOI game should, lots of passion, noise, Alan Kelly's hair looks great and Dessie Baker giving out to everyone. I love Fridays.

Linesman has been hit by a bottle thrown by the Rovers supporters after the ref (rightly) gave Bohs a penalty. Luckily he seems to be okay.

I'm taping the coverage to take with me to College on Monday - as it'll be useful source material for a unit we're doing in Earth Studies all about Evolution.

We're studying Neanderthal Man and the Missing Link at the moment...

i wonder if Shamrock charged the fat guy(the one who thought it was fun to paint himself) for two seats.Dulux must have made a killing.

Is the loud booing and monkey sounds directed at Ndo worthy of special mention or does it happen at every ground?

I heard the booing, obviously completely missed the monkey noises? When was this?

At least twice in the second half, around 60mins

That gene pool only exists between the m50 and the irish sea, thats the Irish Sea.

I thought it was a good game to be fair and really enjoyed it. Fair play to Shams they got stuck in and fought and battled for that result. Bohs controlled the game but i thought Shams were always more dangerous around the goal. Should be an interesting run in now, i suppose it's Shams to lose, good advert for the league esp last 12 minutes, well done all.

Great game tonight, fantastic atmosphere just what this league should be about.
Massive win for rovers,but i would'nt rule out Bohs yet. This is going to be one great end to the season .

[QUOTE=sonofstan;1243036]Including the bottle thrower...[/QUOTE

That was Jason Byrnes bottle he forgot to bring it out with him in the second half . Bohs can consider themselves unlucky not to get a point. They lost the battle the war is not over yet
