Given Frodo can't handle free kicks being given against his team these days surely his mental state is a cause for greater concern?Quote:

You could be right but i'd loe us to challenge. We have this tag of being a team who cant go on and finish off a league campaign, the games against both Rovers this year will be vital before any talk of challenging for a title is concernedQuote:

Nice touch playing White Wedding at half time this evening. I asked for Jerusalem or Land of Hope and Glory but he didn't have them....
i would have tried to get a chant of "whats it like to have a duchess of cambridge" going ;)
What did you think of Buckleys red by the way? Lots of different opinions on the mb. Going by the picture, it looks like it could have been a red. McLean was an idiot by all accounts!
To us, she will always be the "Baroness of Carrickfergus"......
I didn't have a great view of the red card as we were doing radio commentary and that pole was in my way. Personally I though Buckley went to tackle McEleney, mistimed it and ended up absolutely clattering Lafferty. Personally, I wasn't convinced it was a red and the other lad commentating with me thought the same.
However, no offence to some of the lads of Gypoweb but the myopia of this "Derry players surrounding the referee like Barcelona" is hilarious. What, did the Bohs defenders and midfielders who rushed to the scene of the incident teleport themselves there or what? Persumably Killer roaring at the lino less than 2 feet from his face was a figment of my imagination?
Derry had already had three players booked at that point(Flood's booking for you lot and McGlynn's for us was a complete joke) and next thing Buckley lunges in, what do fans realistically expect players to do? I'm not condoning it, I'd go with the "only the captain" type rule, but there were plenty of Bohs players involved in the "shamozzle" as well.
The full coke bottle that was launched at the referee and had to be removed from the pitch appears not to merit a mention on your forum as well.......
Your lot took umbrage to McClean as he went down under a challenge from Heary early doors in front of the Bohs "end" of the Jodi. For some reason the Bohs fans took particular upset to this, and he got far more boos than McGlynn or Higgins which was surprising. He scored an absolutely cracking goal at the start of the second half and decided to "do a Lennon" and cup his ear at the Jodi as he celebrated. Would I have done it? No. However, if I had his talent, I wouldn't be sitting on internet message boards analysing his behaviour either. However if a Bohs player had done that in Tallaght I can imagine the threads on your forum lauding him. I always think that if fans give the verbals, they can't start weeping buckets if players give a bit back.
other than Bray last year that was the worst moment I have had as a mons fan. Feck ya mervue ya bogey team feckers.
Oriel Park tonight :Nothing to report,nothing happened ok.

IT WAS FECKIN 'ORRIBLE IT WAS,WORSE THAN THE WOYAL WEDDIN' !!!
We beat Sligo at home; normal service is at last resumed. :)
Robbie Benson's going to be a good player for us. We can play a bit of ball on a pitch that isn't a tractor field. And if we win on Monday, we're going to be nowhere near the bottom spot.
Sligo offered not a lot really. Not a patch on the team last year. Richie Ryan maybe a bit lucky to stay on the pitch after the ref lost a bit of control late on and a couple of heavy tackles flew in in quick succession (from both sides)
We were poor. Lack of effort and honesty is the most worrying thing.
UCD were well worth the win.

Cook out.
That's the thing that is more worrying then anything else. We're not putting any effort in whatsoever. Lads just standing there waiting for the ball to come to them thinking they'll be able to strut their stuff. Win the battle first and then start playing. UCD wanted to win more then we did and completely deserved the 3 points. It's happened against Shams and Bohs as well recently where a team pressed us a lot and we couldn't handle it. Last season we were pressing the opposition the whole time but now we're not doing that.
Poor enough match. Bad goal to concede from a corner. Dean Marshall should have scored a second just before half time. Raf misses an open goal and then UCD go down the pitch and score the second which was well taken. Don't remember the UCD keeper making a save in the whole match
While they were all rubbish Raf in particular was atrocious. Don't know how he lasted so long. Ndo poor again. Thought Russell was probably the pick of our lot and certainly the only one putting any effort in.
Ref was very lenient throughout the whole match. Thought Ryans tackle was a foul and the time but what in the name of God was he at afterwards going over trying to pick the player up off the ground. Don't think he deserved to be sent off all the same.
Would probably have been a harsh red, but sure you can't go laying hands on players these days. Sami had taken studs to the leg in a late challenge and seemed to be genuinely hurt, and Ryan goes over and tries to pick him up? If nothing else, it was clearly going to provoke the reaction it did (angry UCD players). But as I said, if the ref had given the foul for the tackle, then Ledwith barging into your lad and then another late challenge by a Sligo lad wouldn't have happened; all kind of kicked off from the first tackle (didn't think it was Ryan actually; he just reacted. Could be wrong though). Poor refereeing I thought.Quote:

Shocking by Dundalk last night, 6 first teamers out injured, but that was a dreadful performance all the same, really only one good player on show and that was Gary Dempsey, would loved to have had him. But to be fair Bray totally deserved their point, and had more chances to win the game.
Also, on games like last night, it really makes a mockery of the PA announcement when they inform the crowd of the 'Dundalk man of the match' this unfair unsporting nonsense has been going on for over 15 years now.
Should be interesting to see the crowds other teams get this w/e or later in the year where they are at home twice in 3 or 4 days.
the chickens have finally come home to roost only last year sligo fans wouldnt listen to our experience of the player and were only interested in licking Ndos rear,Quote:

In that case Colly James was pox last night.
We're good aren't we!! We've got a playoff no matter what happens anyway. Plan is for Mick to get some of his own players in in the window and try and improve from then on. or just wait for bohs to go bust...Quote:

Cowan is brilliant, someone will come sniffing soon.
Tee hee.
Hilarious seeing Bohs fans on their forum getting their knickers in a twist over McClean's celebration. If you can't take it, don't give it out, poor lambs.
I cant stop laughing at Gerard Doherty running over at Brennan and laughing at him, then big Greacen starts to laugh as well. Fantastic!!
Is McLean the new Twigg?Quote:

I doubt if there is a more ungracious manager in the LOI than Fenlon. I also wonder is there anyone on Bohs forum over the age of 15. F, C and B words are bandaged in almost every post.

Delighted to see he's getting on well, was always very popular around the club here at Rovers and I'd like to think he could come back one day and do a job for us. When with us he had a lot of good attributes but was quite possibly the most unrefined finisher I'd ever seen, all that about cows arses and banjos springs to mind. Hopefully he's improved his technique a good bit, he certainly has a great physique to be a good striker.Quote:

I would disagree, he is most definitely right up there. Has pace and tricks on him and can run at a player. His only fault is the end product, doesn't seem to be much in the way of shots in him. More suited to being a winger.Quote:

He has had s good start to the season but dont think he can be considered up there with the likes of O'Flynn,Philly Hughes and McHugh let alone better then them.
Edit: Forgot Cummins
