Dave Ryan is an awful, disgraceful excuse for a goalkeeper. He cost us the 3 points. Sooner we get Schlings back, the better.[/QUOTE]
You ain't seen nothing yet, wait till he gets a back pass it's hilarious!!

I thought the Dundalk FM lads were biased until I heard these. Comical indeedQuote:

Gavin Peers and Kieran Djilali sound awful, Peers a lot more so. Feel embarrassed listening to them
Splendid!!
Hope Peers doesn't choke on those sour grapes.
The lads sounded a wee but disappointed.
Thank you Ocean FM! I thoroughly enjoyed the late winner!
I thought that goal would never come. Fair play to Sligo, they parked bus and never looked to attack. But Dundalk were running out of ideas.
Ryan was not great last night, but he did make one outsanding first half save, touching a close range shot on to the bar. Personally I don't think either 'keeper we have is up to it. Would love to have signed Darren Quigley the ex Bray 'keeper.
Nah, there was 4,000 maybe. As close to full as you'll get at Dalymount with the two stands closed. A lot of Rovers fans at the far end of the Jodi. There were a lot of the older lads I recognise from the bad homeless days in the Des Kelly hammered and trying to cause a bit of trouble. The bottle was thrown miles away from anyone but still out of order.Quote:

What would ever be the possibility of Bohs opening up the bottom half of the closed stand under the TV gantry? Is it really in that bad of a condition? Would have been nice to have had the opportunity to open up another 1,000 seats for the game at the weekend.
I think it's condemned. The far end is safe as far as I know but it's terracing and I'm guessing Bohs don't want Rovers occupying two ends of their home ground.Quote:

I'd love to see the FAI buy it, fix it up and rent it back to Bohs. They'll always get enough fans to make it financially viable for both sides and it's a hugely symbolic ground for Irish football, and it's one of the few old school grounds left right in the middle of an estate. I love going there and not just because it's Bohs.Quote:

Sligo were unlucky not to get the draw, and probably felt they deserved it for the defensive display for 80 minutes.Quote:

Delighted with the 3 points!
Not sure why I 'm biting on this but here goes......successive Bohs boards have succeeded in untangling a land law mess and Bohs now have title to the whole property.Quote:

In any event it was actually good to see a group (150 or so) Rovers fans iaccomodated in the Jodi without incident.
4,000 would be my estimate of the crowd.
My son who was with me said it should have been a red, I didn't get a good view of it. Soccer Republic will show about 30 seconds of the game, so god knows if they'll include that. I have to agree that Sligo deserved a point. They worked their socks off and got the tactics right in the second half, in particular.Quote:

Gannon looked wrecked very early in second half, a better attacking team will easily score goals against them. Won't be winning anything this year.
Our squad is too light (one of those on bench last night was a player who had already played 90mins for U19's a few hours before hand) and we're struggling because of that now with a few injuries, qualifying for Europe will be an achievement.
Dundalk counter attacked?Quote:

By the way, what is North's excuse? Benny The Bull looked fitter.
I think that you referred to Gannon in error. It was Brian Gartland who had the family bereavement.Quote:

And if the above is correct , is it also correct to say that Bohs aren't in a position to pay off their loans and thus have in effect defaulted and are only allowed to use Dalymount by agreement with who ever holds the charge over the deeds ?
Sligoman strikes again..Quote:

We have use our property in the same way as any property owner has use of theirsQuote:

Thankfully all still hypothetical. It would be great if we could hang on to the ground indefinitely and improve the facilities but with in two/three years of an upturn in the property market in D7 or when the DIT campus is developed in Grangegorman, the sad reality is that Dalymount Park will be sold.
What was he supposed to do? If he left it as it was, assuming he pulled Greene back to left full, he would be effectively be playing 4 3 2 against 4 5 1. How could that make sense?Quote:

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]The Mods may wish to move this. Maybe there should be aseparate thread for club finances?
Per the last audited accounts (filed with the CRO) for Bohemian FootballClub Limited CRO No 8751 (y/e 30/11/12) the following charges aredisclosed:
Investors holda first specific charge over the entire freehold grounds of Dalymount Park,Phibsboro, Dublin 7, with exception of the car park located in the Northwesterncorner of Dalymount Park.
TheMinister of Sport holds a second specific charge in the sum of €965,000 overthe entire freehold grounds of Dalymount Park, Phibsboro, Dublin 7, withexception of the car park located in the Northwestern corner of Dalymount Park.
ZurichBank holds a third specific over the entire freehold grounds of Dalymount Park,Phibsboro, Dublin 7, with exception of the car park located in the Northwesterncorner of Dalymount Park, while it continues to hold a first specific chargeover this car park.
The Investors are unnamed but they are listed as being owed €628,720. Thebank loan is stated at €4,295,280. A total of €5,889,000 secured on DalymountPark.
So that's chapter and verse on Dalymount Park.
Now, the accounts for St Pats (Newtonheath Company Limited t/a St. Patrick'sAthletic Football Club CRO No. 189439) make for even better or worse readingdepending on your allegiances. But one thing for sure if I was a Pat'ssupporter I would be very worried about the future of the club and theground. Pats are arguably in a worse state that Bohs.
Anyone interested in a finance thread?

how were Derry this week ?
I understand why he took Maguire off but I think it was a bit of a hasty decision meself. As soon as he took Maguire it almost killed any chances of us scoring. Maguire has played deep in games and could have played closer to the midfield and we still could have hoped for a goal on the counter. Putting Greene left back (where he ended up) and trying Maguire was worth a go. The thing about taking him off is that we had no attacking substitutes. If they got an early goal we had nobody to come on and try to get a goal. At least if Maguire had been left on you had more of a chance of scoring.Quote:

If there was a pointless decision made, it was putting Russell out on the left wing. He was our best player. A joy to watch, thank fuk he's back.
Heard from someone at the game that they should have won against Drogs easily.Quote:

Looks like a really good player; the goal aside, Athlone had real problems just getting the ball off him most of the time.
Hard to know what to make of the game though. We were much better for the first hour and should have been out of sight; Athlone came back really strongly (and we collapsed) as soon as they scored, and we were hanging on for the win in the end. Still, a first win of the season and two goals scored for the third game in a row is confidence-building. We're still looking stronger at the back than last season too (not that that would have been hard!)
yep i think so. we are struggling to get the tiki taka going, and it sounds like its a bog up there, so that certainly wont help.Quote:
