That's the Dublin wit you hear about

I hope you don't get him because, quite frankly you don't deserve him. If Pat leave shels I would hope its for a club where the fans actually support a new manager not sack him before he even agrees to sign. Some bohs fans don't deserve success. I know lots of Bohs fans, and they genuinely are embarrassed by sections of their support and their behaviour.
Gareth, Fenlon has previous with Bohs where he treated us like crap, so you can hardly be surprised that some people don't like him. Also if he does walk out on you with 10 games to go, it shows excatly what type of person he is. Most Bohs fans will suppurt Fenlon or anyone else 100%, the difference is Fenlon has baggage. I agree chanting before he starts is silly but I think it was more a joke than anything else. Whats your hunch, stay or go?
When Fenlon leaves who will Shels get in? I would be surprised if allowed Eamo Collins to take control for the rest of the season.
Bohs fans are bitter towards Fenlon because of his spiteful squad-wrecking tactics, founded on seat of the pants financing at Shelbourne, and because of his pointless and unprofessional stance towards the club in the past. But if this mercenary comes to to Bohs and shows what he can do with real and solid resourcing, he will have the support of the fans.
My personal opinion is that we should be more ambitious in the long-term, but that he's the best available in Ireland just now.
I don't think they knew there was a minutes silence. It still came across disgusting though, "De Boez" heard echoing around the ground during a minutes silence, scum.
And yes, I believe I can call them scum. Who else other than scum would be outside oppositions ground chanting on the night their team were not participating? Respectable individuals?
Check out Shels website: "Don't go Pat!" http://www.shelbournefc.ie/
The more i think of it Roddy Collins would be a good fit for Shels for the rest of the season.
Kids did show up outside the ground and they did chant for Bohs and our security could do very little about it as it happened OUTSIDE the ground!
Dodge, referring to your comment that the splash screen was amateurish and suggesting that fans don't even want him to stay, that is pretty much totally the opposite. The fans on the Shels Forum have voted so far quite in favour of him remaining, as have the emails I have recieved. Regarding putting up the splash, amateur or not, it expressed the sentiments of the fans, and albeit an official site, I took a decision to put it up. Now we are back promoting the St Pats game. Which no doubt you'll be happier about. Eitherway, thanks for your comments regarding the site.
So what, they were proabably just local kids having a laugh. You are on our turf after all.
Says it all really :rolleyes:
