RE: Penos for Bohs.
Thats 5 this season already :eek: . A QUARTER of their goals scored this season have been penos - thats a high percentage actually.
But have they made a difference to results? Well 3 of them have. Snatched a point against Bray, snatched a point against UCD. And a peno gave them all 3 points against Cork.
4 extra points on the board thanks to penos. Need all the help they can get mind, Byrne and Crowe are pash. :p
Peno gave them the win in Drogheda as well.
Chucky for Ireland!Quote:

Wa'nt as good as you'd think, we should have won the game easily, Pat's had 3 chances in the first(no stand outs in the second) and scored two of them(both on the break) while we must have had 15 decent chances, a Leech chip towards the end skimming the post(been the stand-out)!!Quote:

Forgot to mention look for wonder save from Harps keeper on MNS- has to be save of the season. Top class.
*sigh*
No win in 10.
You'd say wrong, but thanks for keeping the stereotypes alive.Quote:

Who was the other peno against?Quote:

Hamdil'lah.
Four bottom teams, each won once over the last four weeks. Three of them away from home. Sounds great, but it's against each other. So while improving our points totals, any other benefits have to materialise.
No need to worry, Rovers will be round to visit soon...:rolleyes:;)Quote:

The big question for half the Division. I think 10th spot will have a hungry team getting a lot of points and pressing on lower mid-table something like 38 points.Quote:

In the past one point per game was borderline and more recently with the establishment of a lot of full-time squads the amount of points available for the smaller clubs is less again. Also in the past 10th spot was only play-off and the PD club was confident of taking the First Division team so there was less urgency some years to gain points. With the straight drop it will be everyman for himself among mid-table and below.
It would have been even sooner, if the postponed game had been re-arranged for BH Monday.Quote:

Highlights from the Galway match....some great goals....watch in high quality, cos it mirrors the standard of the game
Its not that we're not playing well, we're just not playing very nice football - unless you have a grá for Italian style, defend/counter attack stuff. Actually last night we were playing some decent stuff until we went one up but then reverted to type.Quote:
