Nah our last cup final was in oriel last week 😀
Well next weeks game against Derry is most definitely a cup final, as it could determine Euro places for next season.
Poor defensive performance from Rovers, coupled with some dog$hit shooting up front conspired to give the opposition their little day out in the sun And sure who can begrudge them that.
😀⚽ give them nothing
Eir have a clip of some bohs fan saying yesterday was the best day ever so that would sort of back up what Bradley said no?Quote:

Also Sam bone should not have been let back on the pitch, I could see he was concussed as he left the pitch from the stand that's something football needs to look at.
Overall bohs just seemed to want it more and deserved the win yesterday as much as it pains me to admit it.
what was the craic with Bradley having a go at Bone after Bohs had scored to make it two one? is that a tad wee harse considering what happened to him in the runup to Bohs goal?Quote:

It was an amateur mistake......I could be wrong but it happened right in front of me and as soon as he started to leave the ball I saw we were in trouble the bohs guy used the head and went for a quick one
He was going on about it in his interview after the game

No insult intended.Quote:

But as I said it isn't a contradiction to say a draw would have been fair but bohs deserved the winQuote:

Looks like there's a very good chance we will win the league in Ballybofey now. Might head up to Donegal for the weekend and take in Derry -dundalk in case we win it there
Pretty poor game in Uited Park on Friday night but Pats got the job done thanks to an unreal save from O'Malley in the last minute. Drogs look to be gone, our next 2 games are away to Sligo and Home to Harps, we really need a minimum of 4 points out of the two games.
I'm now convinced Rovers are losing games on purpose to get us relegated, first Sligo and ow Bohs.
On another note, Cork are going to win the league and Caulfield will get manager of the season which is absolutely fair but special mention to Ollie Horgan, Harps could finish as high as 5th if they keep going they way they are, brilliant season
The back heeled nutmeg from Dinny C played into the path of Akinade, is worth looking at again and again.Three potential goals of the season in the last two Bohs v Rovers games.Quote:

Handy win for Derry last night in Buncrana. Scored after 32 seconds, with a second nine minutes in. It was basically game over that point. Limerick heads dropped, we were content to take our time, passing it about a lot.
Sets us up nicely for our Cup Final in Tallaght on Friday now.
On Limerick, if I was a fan, I'd be worried. They were really poor, created little, Doherty had one save of note to make. They looked very flat. Maybe you could put that down to being two down after nine minutes, but still. They're five points off relegation, would need to be careful.
After the glory in Tallaght on Friday, anything will be a bonus tonight. It will depend on what team Long decides to put out. It will be asking a lot of the players to produce the goods again so soon after that Herculean effort and it wouldn't surprise me if he significantly shuffled the deck.Quote:

I wouldn't be surprised if Bohs were beaten convincingly by Cork, given how inconsistent their season has been. They've had some great results then often follow them up with v flat performances. And i don't mean that as a criticism. Given that they're part time and have one of the lowest budgets in the league they're having an excellent season.
If Derry can follow up with a win in Tallaght (reasonably likely given Rovers record against Derry & the fact they're struggling badly with injuries) surely that'd be the top 3 more or less sorted for the season?
Also, given the gap at the bottom that's opened up in the last fortnight, IMO its a big ask to see any of the current bottom 3 pull themselves clear, so have we a bit of an anticlimactic end to the season? Cup competitions aside of course.
Ollie Horgan in the Showgrounds again Saturday nite. Wearing Gah kit that had football socks with his phone in one and his wallet in the other sock. LOI hipster of the year award done and dusted.
On Saturday, Ollie attended a club related funeral, then U19 game, then went to Showgrounds and finally went to a supporter event and presented prizes etc. At least a 13 hour day. Up next day for training, then to Maginn for Derry v Limerick. That's just the bits I happen to know about. He never stops.
So Cork's unbeaten record is gone.
Always said they were a one-man team. :)
F*ck sake Cork...
I've always said the Bozos were a terrific team.
Amazing turnaround from a team that couldn't string two passes together v Derry last week.
That was just mind numbing
Well now. That's a turnip for the books. Who'd have thunk it would be Bohs to end the Cork unbeaten run, in Turners Cross too. Complacency from Cork, or are they just missing their talisman goal scorer ?
Bohs are a good side if you let them play. Still mighty surprised by that results. Bit of white line fever perhaps? Caulfield must go.
Tell me why, I do like Mondays
We should have been 3 or 4 up at half time. Really missed Sean tonight. Second half Bohs came out strong - we got back into it and then the pen. I honestly didn't think it was a pen, or even in the box but as I was at the far end I'll give the ref the benefit of the doubt. Bohs then resorted to delaying tactics as it their right and while we improved the ball just wasn't falling for us. We had a few chances late on but not high enough quality. Sadlier has a long way to go to get to the required level and Campion has a long way to go to find a club that will take him on.
Inexperience at the back, it was a poor penalty to concede, and we were fortunate not to give away another one or two sloppy goals thanks to McNulty. Robbie Williams could turn out to be a very good signing for us because we are short at the back due to injuries. We had the better of the play but Bohs deserved their win. Shane Supple was one of a handful of Bohs players who didn't waste time to his credit, he's a fine keeper.Quote:

Bradser doesn't come across too well dressing down a suspected concussed player.
How did you all enjoy your first glimpses of Robbie Williams Esq, Cork ?
He wasn't concussed, he got a bang on the cheek.Quote:

Bohs fluffed 2 one on ones first half but scored from a stonewall pen 2nd half. Time wasting antics is what you'd expect in that situation. City not good enough to overcome them.
