Bohs pish poor tonight v an unsensational Dundalk side.Dundalk gk Cherrie was hardly troubled and our defence ate everything put in front of them :pizza:
Dundalk are 4/4 in Dublin for the season(1981 last time),we might move up there :D
Richie Towell potm.(by 2 irish miles)
He didn't score Dundalk's 2nd by the way,his strike was clearly deflected to goal vis Lopes.
Next week it's Cork in front of the cameras,hopefully we can end our poor(ish) home form against them.
Just watched the Pats/Sligo match. Jaysus. game was flowing,Kneel Spoil wasn't getting attention so he decided to get some.IMO no pen and no sending off. Told yous bout him,what a dikk.Didn't realy affect the outcome but what a knob he is. Oblig *told ya's about him* but shhurr hi most of yee knew anyway.
HIC
Against derry we conceded in the 90th minute
Against rovers we conceded in the 94th minute
Against drogheda we conceded in the 88th minute
Against shelbourne we conceded in the 94th minute
Take away those goals and we would be third in the table
Nor conceding goals will do that alright.Quote:

We are going to lose money now whatever happens... crowds down if Dunne stays which will hit the pocket.
No great surprise in Inchicore. Been playing pretty crap all season and have a terrible record there. Hope we can get through the next 3 league games still top and get our act together when our easier run of games starts.
Raf supposedly out for a month.
Ndo has to come back into that team the moment he's physically fit to play.
Think our defence is solid enough and the rest of the team of Ventre/Cawley, Ndo, Lynch, Raf, Greene and Elding/North will keep us there or thereabouts.
Not a red (or if it is Brennan should have gone twice followed by Ventre) and not a penalty but made no difference whatsoever.
Pats hungrier and better
Harps pretty poor again last night, but 3 points on the board and back on track. Happy enough. Crowds remaining decent, and that can only help matters too.
Big game against Waterford next week.
Says a lot about the standard of most of the teams Sligo have beaten.... Including us!Quote:

woooooo FT 2-1 to the real town
You clearly weren't watching Tommy on the sideline so, absolutely berating the players trying to get them to push out.Quote:

Wasn't the best of performances from us but a wins a win! Had to laugh at a few Athlone supporters beside us giving Brilly a hard time and calling him a mammy's boy and them not long out of nappies themselves! The oldest out of the few of them was 12 at most.Quote:

What Athlone fans are you referring to exactly. I certainly hope you're not on about the ones singing behind the goal. Because the youngest there was 16 and the majority were 22-30.Quote:

I did not see one 12 year old there like. But thats doesnt really matter
Bray 0 limerick 4 FT
Excellent win for us hopefully we can keep it going against shels next.
Excellent win by Limerick. It'll be interesting to hear the report on their performance as well. Not a bad start to their season that they're positioning themselves ahead of their Munster rivals in the table.
Great win and a decent performance. Those who cannot be named were a bit unfortunate to lose by 4 but we were the better side. A huge improvement on Tuesday night. Bring on Shels. Nice to be in the top half
We were excellent in the first half and not great in the second. Only for some top class saves from Barry Ryan, bray could have had 3 or 4 goals, but I suppose that's what he is there for. Two more cracking frees from Tracey and Axel is causing real problems with his pace.
Bray aren't actually terrible. They are awful at the back but not that bad in the rest of the field. I can see them picking up a few more points and being safe.
Almost exactly like the League Cup game there last year. Hut them for three goals in quick succession, then were happy enough to ease off the gas and let them back into it. Really should have been a closer scoreline, but Ryan was superb.
Very frustrating watching my side at the moment, we are creating chances, plenty of chances but the finishing is very poor. Jayo alone should have had at least a hat trick and there a few others that missed really good chances. If Jayo had of taken his chance inside the 1st 30 seconds it might have been a closer game but in saying that we were poor, very poor for the majority of the game, some of our players just aren't up to Premier level, don't think they are up to 1st division standard either being honest.
Barry Ryan was absolutely brilliant, pulled off a few top drawer saves to keep us at bay. Tracey's free kick was world class, no keeper could have stopped it.
The team defeated by Limerick are one of the worst sides i have ever seen.
You`re talking about Bohs ,right?Quote:

Whereas Bohs are the opposite. Bohs cannot create anything at the moment and that is why I worry about them for the season. Bray have Byrne so chances are he can always convert something out of nothing. Shels have some streetwise diggers in their side for a relegation battle and will improve. UCD were unlucky to lose to us earlier in the season and seem to be scoring a few. I seriously think Bohs are going to be in almighty fight to avoid going down this season. All Bohs' points have come against teams that finished with 10 men. And we now have lost 3 in a row at home - conceding 9 and scoring 0. Lost 4 in a row if you include Limerick away last Tuedsay.Quote:

Bohs v Bray next Friday is going to be massive !
Why was this game moved from Friday to Sunday ?
I honestly don't think Bray were totally awful. They really struggled at the back but other than that are not a bad team at all. If they can sort out the back 4 then they will do ok. They looked much better than UCD and close enough to Bohs, probably more potent in attack than Bohs actually despite no goal scored. The scoreline yesterday could easily have read 3-4 or 4-4. I am yet to see Shels play in person but going by what I have seen Bohs and Bray will pick up more points against UCD and Shels than the other way around and that will be enough to stay up.
Limerick played on Tuesday and wanted a longer turnaround, I assume. They seem to be trying to get Sunday matches.Quote:

Bohs looked much more solid at the back whereas the other crowd had a far bigger threat up front. It wasn't a 4-0 game either although maybe 6-4 would have been fairer.
So did Bohs in the same game, and they never asked us to switch from Friday to Sunday. Just seemed a strange one for me.Quote:

I'm guessing that's based on sound financial assumptions that you'll get more people in the gates outside of schooldays.

Not sure how you can say "more" Limerick fans turned up as you haven't played them in the League in 20 years so you've nothing to compare it too.
its probably working off a pretty fair assumption that more people would be inclined to travel up from and back to Limerick on a Sunday than after work on a Friday.Quote:
