this from the text commentary - tut tut:
about 120 or so Rovers fans there in total according to the commentators. Still a good showing.Quote:
07:47pm Bohs will be attacking the Shed End second half. The Rovers fans are very amused by some of their fans who ran unto the carpark to 'confront' the 3 garda there. The 30 or so fans retreated with amazing alacrity.
McEvoy equalisesQuote:
08:10pm What a goal!!!! Forrester reverse pass to Downes who made a great run down the right. He floats it in and McEvoy catches a left foot volley at the back post! 1-1
to extratime
2-1 Bohs - nice wan :D :D
Quote:
09:12pm YES!!!!!!!!! Feely nods on to Corcoran who gives it back and Feely smashes it in off the underside of the crossbar. The Rovers 'fans' don't like it and are on the pitch. 116 minutes gone and it's 2-1 Bohs
09:13pm The Rovers fans up to their usual antics. I wonder if the FAI will take action this time?
result. Bohs win.
Few things to clear up...
Bout 200 Rovers there.
Guys were playin footie at HT with stray balk not confronting cops
Bohs score and dunnes tracksuits abound on pitch quivkly chased off by Hoops
Looked to me that it was the Rovers' dopes that were chased off the pitch - by Gardai...
Intentional pun?Quote:

Edit: another highlight was the extent that Bohs are into recycling - even old tickets...I got a Portadown one with a hastily scratched 5 over the price from the 21st February...some others were from April and one from January. :D
on a more relevant note, it must sting a little to see a team with quite a few experienced first teamers get given the run around by a team of kids and amateurs. :)
but yeah, i know, it was only the LSC etc etc MON fielding a strong enough team means he wasnt taking the game seriously etc etc...
Class how yer arguing who has the naughtiest fans. :mobile:
As this is a football forum PC perhaps you can keep your "who chased who" and "who had chavvier tracksuits " for your BEBO page :)Quote:

Decent match and both sides probobly not too unhappy, shams wont miss potential future fixtures and Bohs gave a good run out to younger players who will benifit from the experience (even a small Bohs/shams attendance is an experience for young players:)).
Not much running around being given by Bohs in the first half when the first teamers were playing or until Rovers were down a man. Obviously in extratime, even a team like Bohs can make use of an extra player...so with 10 men and at least 5 sets of back four during the game, it doesn't sting at all. Sorry about that :)Quote:

Rovers started with the 6 subs from Sundays game + Chris Turner + 2 KIds + 2 Reserves.If thats their strength in depth the rest of the league has a chance as they were very poor against a Bohs Reserve/Kids team.Gary O Neill couldnt hit a barn door at the moment and indeed both teams strikers were ineffective.Bohs would appear to have a lot of good young Kids coming thru.
admirable effort dfx-... :pQuote:

I would also concur that bohs kids merited the victory.
Mylers folly with the subs may prevent his step up to assistant.
We move on.
Just a genuine mistake but maybe should take credit for itQuote:

I'm no Shams lover but the way Bohs fans (and Nutsy himself) talk about how young and inexperienced their "kids" are, I'm surprised there isn't a queue of Catholic priests outside Dalymount of a match night.
Was responding to your post DFX where you mentioned "first team" in first half (I quoted it in my post). As I noted earlier while it was a stronger shams starting X1 (than Bohs) it was hardly your clubs priority (2nd most important match in 2 days for you ?). Maybe, in future, tell Myler to take his socks off when he runs out of fingers :rolleyes:Quote:

Last two references to "Bohs kids" were Placid Casual and KUFCMan, as neither are Bohs fans (or Nutsey) can only presume it is catching on :oQuote:

Semi final draw on Monday at 4.30 pm in Abbotstown :cool:
Great win for Bohs against a strong Shamrock Rovers team. Maybe Fenlon should start using more of these "young" lads instead of keeping them on the bench and moaning that his squad is too young.
exactly Paul!
was pat fenlon managin them the other night? one of the papers said it was Owen Heary!
yep, it was Owen Heary.
gareths maher had an interestin piece in the mail yesterday that the leinster senior cup should be abolished. I for one would not like it to go as it is always good to play non league times that you normally never meet..
Was there a need for that article? As ever, if clubs didn't want it, they wouldn't have agreed to it coming back. If fans don't want it, they just don't go to the gamesQuote:

you could say that about any article about anything, ever.Quote:

Agree with Dodge on this one. No advantage to getting rid of it and it does serve a use in getting playing time for younger players, I know what Bohs lads from Monday night would say if asked :D. Also (as mentioned elsewhere) Myler and Toccy managed the teams (shams/bohs) the other night so a good oppurtunity for them to develop thier managerial skills.Quote:

Do clubs have an option not to enter the LSC, by the way? I assume not, given everyone does enter.
Jaysus MB - i didnt say anything against the point Dodge was defending!!! I just said that any newspaper opinion piece could be dismissed as a moany rant! The LSC is my favourite competition ever after Monday! Its the one ive always wanted to win under Nutsy! Ooops, i mean Heary! :)Quote:
