Decision was the only logical one to make. Replaying the game would have opened too many other issues. As Ollie presumably agreed to the Arbitrator he can't pursue this any longer.
I presume Ollie will move onto the Hargan suspension now & maybe have a go at Arbitration on that one too.
If Shels cannot beat Bohs they don't deserve to win the league but don't suppose that really matters anyway.
Do you really think motivation will be a problem? In a disastrous season, this is the only thing we have left to play for.Quote:

I've read reports that your fans will boycott Tolka and watch the match in the bar in Dalyer instead?Quote:

ive no doubt bohs could beat shels if tehy tried
Apologies was looking at the FAI website earlier and they hadnt updated the table. Hope Derry win it but cant see boez doing anything friday.
KOH
Had Cork not lost in Bray there would be 3 teams level on points going into the final match of the season! :eek:
Shels will surely beat Bohs but this mess has taken away from yet another exciting title race in the eircom league.
If Cork can make up 9 on GD against Shels they still have a chance, too many draws has cost them as they have lost fewer games than both Derry & Shels.
......and they only discovered Roy O Donovan could play centre fw late in the season......incompetence on a stauntonesque scale by Rico
Does anyone know could Michael Collins have ruled against the Bohs 3 point deduction (original)? Or was he just listening to submissions re, FAI 'fair play'?
I agree that the fans would love to see Shels miss-out on the title, but will the players really care that much ?? Most weren't originally Bohs fans themselves, Shels aren't a traditional 'rival' for them in the way Rovers are, and they'll be knackered and demoralised at the end of a difficult season, so may well just go through the motions.Quote:

ffs man
he was just making it up as went along - one submission from john '12 more years' delaney
Not enough of our players hate $hels to deny them of the league!Quote:

If Derry beat Cork (It's at the Randywell, isn't it ? Corks record not good there) Bohs won't even have to beat shels, a draw will do. Come on Bohs, you can do it, give us all a laugh. Derry for the league, Pats for the Cup :DQuote:

Looks already like Bohs fans have been boycotting Dalymount all season. :eek:Quote:

On a positive note, thanks to Shels who are letting the lads from my boys' football club into the game for free. There are only a few of the kids who show up to training in Irish jerseys, if it is a good game maybe there will be some converts. I'm looking forward to the evening as a neutral myself.

Not to mention that Cork fans are staying away from the Cross in their droves too. And Cork are doing a whole lot better than Bohs are.
I think Bohs will be up for this match. They're playing the campions electish and have a chance to upset the apple cart on the last day I don't think it matters if it was shels or derry or whoever we were playing in that situation they'd love to have a say in the destination of the title. Plus shels have given the players enough reason to hate them over the last few weeks anyway
