Matches 12th - 15th July

Have to say i love it when players goad the crowd after a win and have been on the winning and losing end of that scenario.
It shows passion and that the players are in the same boat as us fans, i remember Sean Boyd scoring the winner in Tallaght against Bohs and loving it when he ran towards the bohs fans equally seeing Talbot winding up the Rovers players / fans after the last match just makes me look forward more to the next round in the saga to try to put one over on Bohs.
Pajo Flynn ...need i say more..
The players are entitled to give it out as they have to take it but it doesn't excuse any behavior from fans other than giving it back in spades when the opportunity presents itself in the future...which it always does.
Bohs like every Dublin club (with the exception of Cabo and UCD) have their own collection of knuckle dragging idiots , call them out for it and move on.

It definitely adds to a match , twigg always wound us up and Brennan took a rise from the Rovers fans, good craic.

In all seriousness this is very true. Always find it a bit ridiculous that a great percentage of football fans seem to think they have the right to slate an opposition player as much as they wish but manage to get so precious whenever they get a bit of stick in response. The players are well within their right to give a bit back (within reason of course).

Does a player mooning at opposition support count as good crack....

Or in other words made his way towards the tunnel, hardly as if he ran out of his way like.

It's probably a result that suits many clubs in the league.

Obviously Bohs themselves or Finn Harps will be unhappy, but for the clubs chasing third place and its confirmed euro spot, this gives them a realistic target to aim at. There are only 5 points separating Bohs from Derry (game in hand) and St Pats. While the 11 point gap to third might be too much for Sligo to make up , they will still be trying to finish in the top four.

It also relieves the pressure on Shamrock Rovers, who have only taken 5 points from the last 5 matches, and reduces the potential embarrassment of Bohs finishing above them in the table

Yeah that peno in Inchicore last year was a career highlight for him:)
I actually think Inchicore is great for banter between fans and players , poor old James Doona gets a terrible slagging from the Rovers fans "splinter" is his nickname
Surprised he has'nt got more game time for you guys, at his age he should move to somewhere he can get game time, even Cabo if he doesnt want to have to move out of Dublin 8, I always liked him at Rovers.

Nah, he was fairly quick to run from the goal at the opposite end. It wasn't like it was a little raised fist on the way past.

He'll get a great welcome in Tallaght on Sunday and then naturally will let a couple in through his legs for us. :)

Oh I know he did it intentionally I'm just saying that saying he ran 50 yards to do it is a bit disingenuous because while technically correct it's not as if he ran out of his way to do it, it was more a two birds one stone sort of thing.

Bohs fans suffering from serious short term memory loss, seem to remember a certain former striker of theirs actually going out of his way to do similar and being defended by them to the bitter end by them for it.

Also pretty funny seeing Bohs fans give it the ol what a scumbag *****, just found out he's a Rovers fan too hate him even more now" as if anyone didn't know he was a Rovers fan, everyone in the league has known it for ages, since he scored the bicycle kick at least.

Seemed to forgot how to play football since he signed. He is nowhere near the first team and our first team is rubbish.

Absolute state of the fat príck that tries to get at Kearns at the end, then starts pushing the stewards. Not a 15 or 16 year by any means, cretin looks about 40 and should be banned.

Always hated when fans can't take it when a player gives it back, but I'm sure the Bohs fans were innocent and never chanted anything at the keeper at all.

Probably preaching to the choir here but pats would look much more dangerous playing a 433 with Forrester given a role of top of the midfield 3 and just told "when we have the ball do/go whatever you want"

Wait that's all he did? **** me talk about an over reaction from Bohs

The way bohs fans have been going on youd think he ran right up to them screaming in their faces, hes nowhere near them ffs.

Pender is some f*ucking tool.

That video doesn't make pretty viewing for Bohs, you'd imagine they'll get heavily fined and deservedly so.

Buckley gouging at Kearns eye and pulling his hair from behind like a ****house. Bottles being flung and fans trying to attack players as they leave the pitch. Referee frightened to leave the pitch because he thinks he's going to be attacked by fans that were waiting after the full time whistle.

But it seems it was all Kearns' fault though because he clenched his fist in front of Bohs fans for about two seconds after getting abuse for the game. :rolleyes:

Couple of Bohs players as well as fans coming out of that looking like absolute idiots

There has been a couple of times this season when we were chasing a game and went 433 and what did Kenny do? He brought Doona on as 1 of the midfield 3 :confused:

Pender and Buckley deserve long bans and Bohs a big fine based on that video. To be fair to Talbot he looks like he's separating them, probably more for Penders sake but still in all fairness to him it's the right thing to do in that situation and he's unlucky Buckley is acting the little **** or it could have been the end of it from a pitch perspective.

Wouldn't be surprised if Kearns and Pender get a suspension out of it, soccer Republic tweeting it won't help.
All the on pitch stuff to me is handbags , the bottle throwing and the gob****e jumping the fence are the problem

I can sort of see the logic of you give him that Forrester role I was saying but if you don't have proper wingers it won't work

Disgraceful carry on. The fans must have been bummed out by that and the league needs to leave that sort of behavior behind.

Having just watched that video I think massive points deductions for both sides are absolutely warranted and all players involved in matchday should be given long bans.

Have to say I didn't have as good a view as that of the initial incident from the far end. The reaction from Bohs fans is a disgrace. There was bugger all in that from Kearns

Trying to attack a player for messing around is moronic behaviour.

At least Marinobohs has taken the defeat well anyway...

---

ONE individual pictured trying to jump the fence - which I condemned.
Calling the lino names I laughed at, and still do, total snowflake stuff by a closet hoop looking to be shocked, “what the children thought.....”

Clearly stated I thought UCD deserved win - although I’m not as familiar with losing as Pats fans 😁

Looked like handbags from the footage.

Go on twitter loads of prominent Bohs fans on twitter claiming not to have known he was a Rovers fan. Your man the TV ****er being the most notable one.

100%,Absolute handbags but bloody hilarious handbags.No doubt Bohs will produce a slo-mo vid DVD package,a t-shirt and an IPA over this crazy malarkey :D
Scundered for both sides but UCD get the points and the bragging rights in this imo!! #GLITW

Ahhh twitter!! Where everyone goes for calm, rational, honest and unbiased opinions on an issue. You'd have more credibility referencing wikipedia

Fair play to Talbot for getting the idiot keeper out of there. If he wants to celebrate go try and find a UCD fan. While it's perfectly reasonable for people claim fans shouldn't give players stick, if they can't take it unfortunately football simply doesn't work like that anywhere in the world. Didn't a Celtic player get suspended last season for inciting Linfield fans despite taking abuse during the game?? We don't live in a perfect world and if you're upset about a ref/linesman getting abuse I suggest you stop following sport altogether. There's no way that will ever stop in any sport

Yeah hardly the home of the rational or erudite. The bull**** on social media is hilarious the constant over reacting never stops.

I never said it was rational, in fact I said the opposite and that I found it funny.

Keith Buckley gouging and pulling hair, what a cowardly rat. Hope he gets a ban.

Other than that, meh. Pender the only other one i think should be possibly looked at for a suspension, and its not a very strong case.

Have to agree re the on the pitch stuff. Could have done without it, but overall no harm done. I think the earlier picture shown of the "eye gouging" is more likely just a trick of perspective; I don't think there was any real intention of the sort.

I think most can agree that the only "scumbag behaviour", as marinobohs put it, it throwing bottles (including during the game), hopping a rail to chase a player, and homophobic and other general abuse at the linesman/referee as they walked off the pitch (for what? Because they flagged offside a few times?), all while stood beside a few kids in UCD jerseys who'd gone to get some autographs afterwards and must have been wondering what the hell was going on.

Most people seem to understand that I think. Those who don't understand that - well, they're often beyond hope anyway.

Kids in UCD jerseys trying to get autographs.
That sentence did make me laugh. God love them the poor cratures.

Buckleys behaviour was far worse than Kearns imo. No excuse to put hands in someones face, even if a gouge wasnt intentional, and the hair pull to try and get a reaction is just cowardly.
If you give it out, you can't complain when you get it back. Im sure Plenty of players down the years have done worse then Kearns did. Whatever way its dressed up the behaviour of some of the bohs fans was pathetic.

Yeah, the video giving added context really doesn't do Bohs any favours there. Even if Kearns does have the temerity to support Rovers.

Fair play to Long though, he looks like he's only short of giving them all a clip round the ear as he's shoving them all off the pitch.

Doubt even the UCD Tarquins will be too distraught at a Lino getting stick but if they are I suggest they return to their knitting circle because Footie ain’t for them 😁
Back defending Kearns I see, the one that instigated it all - but hey it’s all a Bohs fault ! Will you go away out of that you spoofer.

BTW 50-100 Bohs fans jumping on the fence collectively calling the Lino gay actually sounds much more entertaining than the game was 😁 God bless your little snowflake imagination

I stand corrected. I'll add your posts to the list of the "Only scumbag behaviour" on display.
