Longford 2-3 Limerick. FT
Mons Sub: Freeman on for Bermingham.

Brennan booked
FT 2-1 to Mons
I gather we lost 3-2 according to aertel and 2-1 according to extratime. I'm taking it that it was 3-2 but did it go to 2-2 or 3-1 does anyone know?. Couldn't make the game myself.
It was 3-2 according to the very reliable Futbol 24.
Shams deserved their win, if only because they were outclassed for much of the game but showed a lot more bottle than Bohs. Crowe's injury cost Bohs the game, Fenn was pulling out of tackles all over the place, which was why Bohs couldn't keep the ball in the second half.
livescore says 3-2 as well. It's just the scoring sequence I don't know as both teams' last goal is credited as 90 mins. It'd be more sickening to have been 2-2 and let it slide than 3-1 if you know what I mean.
We went 3-1 down after 92. Then got back to 3-2 straight after. Rubbish though.Quote:

I knew it was going to be a long season but if I have to watch much more of that p!sh I would prefer to be sitting naked on a block of ice in the Antarctic or maybe I would try some of that Chinese water torture. :o
What was the pitch like in Finn Park?
Shams 2-1 Bohs. Great advert for the league and maybe Shams will get good money from selling Twigg in the summer. I notice Rep of Ireland v Nigeria is on FRIDAY 29th May, is there any LOI matches on that night?
Shels are home to Monaghan, we're not moving it AFAIK as the ROI match is only a friendly so don't expect to take much of a hit.
Whens the last time Bohs lost 2 in a row?
Nice one Twigg!
Last Time:
01-07-08 League Cup
Derry City 4-1 Bohemians
06-07-08 UEFA Intertoto
FK Riga 1-0 Bohemians
In the League:
27-07-07 UCD 1-0 Bohemians
04-08-07 Longford Town 3-0 Bohemians
The three points were there for Bohs if they wanted them, but after Crowe went and especially in the second half, they never got forward. Not that I'm complaining :)
Murphy wasn't great for either goal :)
Thats the last time I'll be relying on extratime.ie for scorelines on matches!!! They've never been reliable, well in the last couple of weeks anyways!!!
heres the goals from gufc -v- bray

It was good to see Keith Fahey in Tallaght last night, just sitting with the regular fans in the family section (I was surprised he didn't get asked for one autograph that I saw, Dessie Baker would have been mobbed in there :D). It was a generally poor match, few clear chances for either side, the roof nearly came off when Twigg scored the equaliser and the winner was just pure mayhem. Only negative on the night was some of the scummiest scum I've ever seen at a match being allowed to move down to the family end and spending the match looking at and chanting towards the Bohs fans, they weren't football fans at all. Fair play to the guards thought they were well on top of things, reacted very quickly to a charge towards the Bohs fans after the goals.
Yeah dessie signed his fair few autographs alrite!! madness when twigg got his second!! Unreal!!!Quote:

Don't get me wrong. Shamrock deserved their win, but it was hardly showcase football.
Ah that old chestnut again.Quote:

Brilliant result for Shams. That's what football is all about for me. 2 late goals to snatch a win against the champs, and your biggest rivals. Must've been brilliant to be a fan at that match.
And how would you know whether we had "hooligan daytrippers" in our section?Quote:

Tickets for the Rovers end were available both via the Rovers message board and outside the ground in the minutes up to kick off, and let's face it, it's hardly impossible to gain access to the away end with a ticket for the home end. It was done by a handful of people I know.Quote:

As always at these games, there are 2 games going on. One on and one off the pitch. A minority spend the whole game winding each other up, and are capable of giving as much as they get.Quote:

First home win against them in almost 5 years, puts a stop to the bad run, and another great advert for Saturday night football. :)
I would personally rather them on a Friday but it would affect attendances so Saturdays are best. It was definitely a great advert for the league and hopefully the Drogs can give us something to talk about next week:)Quote:
