Are you surprised. It's Graham Kelly after all.

Jesus, I hope the simple minded element at Bohs aren't determined to emulate those at Shamrock, deeply depressing if so.
Great result for Limerick up there , Does this mean Axel is out for tuesday or can we appeal ??
There is always 6 or 7 want jumping onto the pitch at the Showgies, but Bohs as a club seem to be keener than some at weeding them out.
Another thing that depressed me was going out to Tallaght to see a competitive derby match only to see Pats roll over far too easily.
Something odd about the lack of spirit in their performance.
Shams looked competent but bigger tests lie ahead for Derek Foran and he will be found wanting. Jason won't be there to hold his hand every time.
One of the panelists On MNS alluded to something not being right at Pat's, something wrong tonight they seemed so slowwwwww, not taking anything off Shamrock they could challenge Derry for runners up.
Great entertainment in Finn Park tonight. Cobh weren't at all bad, but for once, Harps were very clinical in the finishing. Could have have 6 or 7 though. Cobh might have had a few goals too only for a couple of good saves, and a couple of good challenges.
Hopefully we can keep the momentum going into next weeks game against Longford.
Great game, great result for City to come back from a goal down. The Bohs scum who came down the full length of the pitch AFTER you went 1 up sparked all this off. The moron who jumped out of the City end is no better. What a pity that these Bawbags are allowed anywhere near a football ground. Obviously they are known. There were only about 250 Bohs fans down and these guys should be shopped.Maybe Bohs need their money too much to ban them. Our security were a disgrace too and how these were allowed walk back up and jump into the away end without being touched is beyond me.
Hope these tossers do not get the headlines tomorrow as both teams contributed to a great game of football with City just shading it.Delighted Danny Furlong scored and almost broke the bar as well.
Look, it's not a game when there is no red card from Buttimer. Thankfully it wasn't us.
Few points about the game in Tallaght:
1) Pat's looked awfully lethargic. They are nice to watch when they have the ball but off the ball they seem to be really lacking in desire. The fact Killian Brennan has been their star player in every game so far appears to be significant in that regard.
2) Rovers looked good and their work off the ball is very good, but the tendency to switch off is a little worrying.
3) Finn is looking even better than he looked last year. I haven't seen a more complete footballer in the league since Fahey and we'll be lucky to keep him around much longer.
4) Pat's midfield is bizarrely tall. Even taller than their defence, which I seem to find funnier than it probably is in reality.
5) Lists of five are fun.
It's probably part of that Dublin-led conspiracy to gift the title to a completely undeserving Shamrock Rovers. I've also heard rumours the council built them a stadium and that all their games are shown on television.
Worth watching the highlights of our game against Derry; made about every amateur mistake it's possible to make. First goal - keeper tackled when he had an age to clear. Second goal - hospital pass across the edge of the box straight to a Derry guy. Third goal - keeper carries the ball outside the box for no reason; Derry score the free. At least four, five and six weren't as bad, but Christ that was awful.
And of course we get a ridiculous red for the second time in a week too; lad clearly got the ball in a tackle and picked up a second yellow.
Not looking forward to Tuesday.
Great night !

Limerick robbed of 3pts absolutely scandalous ref 9 men with 15 to play. Gutted not to collect 3pts like last week but showed alot of heart and brilliant football passed drogs off the park at times. Need more cutting edge need rory gaffney back but away point v a very good drog team is a good result.
Goal sent off at Tolka Park!! ,read what Goal has to say in Todays Evening Herald.

would just like to point out that a SMALL MINORITY Group of shels "fans" smashed windows in dfc fans buses and pegged alot of glass bottles at dfc fans leaving tolka this evening. nothing was provoked other than these scumbags coming out of lanes pegging this crap for no reason and there was absolutely no need for it. i think the little group of ****eholes had their heads kicked in as a result but im not justifying this.
Were they waving umbrellas? There is a small minority of Shamrock Rovers fans who go to Shels and Bohemians games to cause trouble, as well as the odd Louth GAA game, plus most Milwall, Al Ahly and Inter Milan fixtures.
yeah great stuff i cant say i have ever been at an inter. al ahly etc game but i was one of the first out of tolka this evening. our bus was parked outide st patricks college and had to move cause windows were put in before anybody got on the bus. also when we reached st patricks a group of scum came up a side street off the main road beside tescos and hurled plenty of glass bottles at the dfc fans coming along the main road. totally unprovoked. joke all you want about it but there is absolutly no need for this carry one. esp when a minority group associated with the same club rascially abused a teenager a week before.
They could just have been local mouth-breathers unconnected with Shelbourne. I'd just be a bit wary of blaming general vandalism on a club's supporters unless I was sure.
You know that, I know that, most reasonable people know that but unfortunately the actions of few, in this league, can tarnish the reputation of many. FYI, looks like the club is already taking action to identify the w@nkers and issue bans. There's a great feeling around the club at the moment and we don't need these vermin bringing us down.
Delighted with the result last night. we would of lost that game last year for sure. Those few bohs fans were a disgrace other than that their fans were grand, wasnt mentioned in the echo which was good dont want the actions of those ****s getting the headlines over what was a great night for us.. have to say the atmosphere was great last night but was a little disappointed that there wasnt around a thousand more at it since it was the first game
