George Hamilton believed the Fenlon poor mouth routine about poor old Bohs' bunch of plucky children defying the odds in the Premier Division. When actually
I reckon that Bohs team will pick up more points than say Pats or Dundalk did last year, quite comfortably. The temptation must be huge for Nutsy to bring in a striker.Quote:
Some stats.
Average age of Rovers XI last night: 24.9
Fenlon's young kids starting line up : 25.9
Players who've won a league title in their starting line up,
Rovers: 5
Bohs: 6
Owen Heary is 36 so take him out & average drops.Quote:

Wonder will the model club take any action over this:rolleyes:
What action did Bohs take over one of their fans gobbing in MONs face? To answer your question, if it happened then presumably Rovers wont take any action considering it was presumably accidental and he apologised for it.
As for the Hearey thing, Bohs had the three oldest players on the pitch (Hearey, Burns and Price, as far as I know). Obviously if you take them out the average drops. The point still stands, it's a very experienced Bohs team. Besides, Heary is 34 not 36
Doyle made too much of it for Connolly to give the penalty. There was contact though, but not enough.Quote:

Was at the Cork v Harps game last night and it was a bit of a strange one. Watching from the Shed end I was actually impressed with Harps' passing football but they need someone to help the short lad out up front - McMenamin? Cummins is a natural finisher and it was very obvious City targeted the left flank with Davin O'Neill going on a few great runs. I did'nt see the Harps penalty shout just after half time but the City one was right in front of me and it was a definite pen. Best goal of the night was O'Neills blinding curler into the top corner. In the long run City's central defence will be tested by pace and at away games as they look a tad static at times - however a clean sheet and five goals is a great effort. Fair play to the 9/10 Harps fans who came along - hope ye're player who went off injured will be ok, and that all black kit is one of the smartest I've seen in many a year; good luck for the rest of the season.
Once again, obsessed.Quote:

As for the journo's, they should have been told to **** off and leave Michael to do his job.
To be expected, I think. Played great at Sligo during the week but the midfield he picked seemed designed to soak up pressure. There was no real link play between the back four and the forwards so it was just hoofball, which is a complete waste of O'Neill's talents. Dennehy hasn't been playing well but Sheppard and Kelly are both strikers and we don't exactly attack like Barcelona so they're of limited use.Quote:

In a fit or anger as he walked off the pitch tonight he kicked a ball with full force towards the tunnel, Unfortunately for him it hit James (our super mascot who has down syndrome) with full force and hurt him badly. He saw what happened and continued on into the dressing room.Apparently after it was said to him by some press or players in the dressingroom he came out and started saying sorry to me, so I made him aware that James is fully aware of his surroundings (as any of you who have ever spoken to him will know) and he should say sorry to him. He then shook his hand and said sorry. He then turned to me and said that Bohs were **** and that rovers dominated the game. He said and I quote'sure you only scored from a corner'. My reply of course was 'so did you'. He lost the head completely and was dragged away by one of the coaching staff whilst spitting fire towards me.
In fairness, I have got a few messages, indirectly, of goodwill from rovers players and staff who were appalled at his behavior.
James was very upset all the way home and so were his parents on seeing the bruising.
I hope you are proud of yourself Michael O'Neill.
Did you see the incident where Zayed and Fleming clashed in the first half?Quote:

I thought it was amusing, Seany was on to the fourth official moaning. If you can't take it, don't give it.
Down syndrome or not. He's still a person that got hit by a football by accident. It happens.Quote:

We're all strange and unstable at the end of the day, especially Bohs fans, particularly Bohs MB members - that's depraved behaviour :)Quote:

Strange and unstable?! Do you actually believe for no reason he started "spitting fire" at some random fan, and had to be "dragged away" from this same bloke? Seriously? Considering about 10 posts later on the Bohs forum there's another sensible poster suggesting our sub keeper should be arrested for inciting racial hatred because as a "coloured" player him kissing the Rovers crest will naturally result in racial insults being thrown at him, so that same poster who works for Bohs is filing a complaint with the FAI.
Maybe not the most objective reporting going on Stu.
Its a shame we have to wait until May for the next outragous, unstable and disturbing act from Rovers. Lets see, we've had children's entertainer in a giant suit dancing too close to Bohs fans, sprinklers being put on before a game, the disgraceful playing of "this town aint big enough for the two of us" before a game, Rovers players inciting racial hatred by being black and kissing a crest, the attempt on a linesman's life when a coke bottle was thrown near him, now a child being accidentally hit with a football and despite the offender immediately raising his hand in apology/acknowledgement, he still waited minutes before personally making an apology and shaking the child's hand.
I hope you and Réiteoir are compiling a file to be sent to the DPP, perhaps a second hand report on the Bohs forum in May that ketchup was not made available to travelling fans might be enough to finally hang this unstable and disturbing lot once and for all.
Was that seriously said?Quote:

and that's obviously a bloke who's been promoted to some sort of position of match day responsibility. Worth bearing in mind when we think about how MON was supposedly "dragged away". Hmmm.Quote:
And he did it as i was announcing our racism policy,i have asked for this to be reported but have to wait and see if it is in the match delegates report,but I'm sure there are plenty of witnesses,he made a complete mockery of the statement,if this happened in England he would have been arrested after the game,he was almost inviting a racial comment from the Bohs support during an anti racist announcement,i don't know,your threatened with a fine if you dont make the announcement,and when you do you have a coloured player winding up the opposing fans.
great post Jicked. Impossible to have even a whiff of a laugh on this forum sometimes. I cannot confirm one way or the other whether O'Neill was doing a dragon impression last night.
since YOU raised it, here is the reference to your sub-keeper from our stadium announcer - though quite what this has to do with my original post im not so sure. He was giving the Bohs fans the "come on", cupping his ear signs as the statement was being read. For further clarity, we were reported by Rovers to the FAI last season for not having read out the anti-racism statement.

The reason I raised it is because you brought up a ridiculous post from your forum to suggest MON is "unstable". Considering the quality of stuff posted on that forum and that thread, I'm not too sure if that's quite enough for him to be carted off to the looney bin just yet.
What I found most disturbing is that some of them wanted Rovers to lose :sad: Can't understand that mentality at all at all....Quote:

Or do we just chalk it down to more of your lots utter ****e they spew without any factual basis what so ever and ignore when they have been proven to be talking our their hole.
Every time you bring this up (which is quite a lot) I keep pointing out to you that these rumours first appeared on the Bohs message board before they were ever posted on the Ultras forum or voiced here. Perhaps you're a bit slow on the uptake or perhaps it just doesn't suit your agenda. Anyway nice of you to pop by and stick your oar in, nothing to say on O'Neill no?Quote:

5 mins looking was unproductive.
So have they announced which match they're showing April 29th?
Apologies for interrupting the usual bohs/rovers sh1tefest, but Waterford Utd beat Longford Town 6-3 tonight www.extratime.ie :)
Now, that's what I call strange and unstable.Quote:

Made to work for our win, but we should have went in at half time three or four ahead. Good performance all round. I thought some of the Waterford players were carrying some weight though...
that fan is gently reminding bohs fans of the time Rovers beat bohs 3:2 back in 1985/6.Quote:

The same champions who had their star striker missing through injury hence the bohs back 4 could approach the game in a much more positive frame of mind.
to the odd(and i mean ODD!) sligo fans piping up -- you have small man syndrome and are attention seeking which is to the detriment of the forum in general
