Obviously looked a better game on TV than in the ground. First half was absolutely poison from both sides, nervousness rather than intensity. Second half was better, Bohs tried to pass it but moves invariably broke down with either an error or a hoof into touch from the Rovers defence.
It was always going to be a deflected goal off someones arse that was going to win it and sure enough.....

Stlll all to play for, if Hoops dont beat Derry next week and we beat Drogs at home we`re back on top. I would say this race will go down to the last game of the season, Hoops away to Pats and us away to Bray.

Anyway it was a desperate game, awful cagey with nobody willing to give an inch.
But the crowd and ground looked great with a cracking atmosphere.

Monkey sounds?

It seems a few are mistaking the "Hoops Hoops" chant for monkey noises. Ndo was booed (because he's an ex player) but I certainly didn't hear any monkey noises.

Then in the midst of the loud boos for Ndo when he got on the ball at least on 2 occasions, there was a chant of Hoops Hoops Hoops coming from the same area?
It's possible I suppose.

Yeah it was an awful game. Very few chances on either side.

But there have been problems at LoI ground for decades.
Why is it exclusively English when in reality the worst Hooliganism in Europe is in Poland.
Not to mention what its like in South America with the barras bravas.

Feckin Premier Division bias. :rolleyes:

Anybody at the game want to back up/challenge HulaHoop's comments on the alleged monkey noises? Cos otherwise, the posts get deleted on the basis of unsubstantiated rumour.

Didn't notice anything myself. Didn't hear it mentioned by anyone either so unless it was one or two and you could only hear it on the Rovers side...

I was fairly sure I heard monkey noises on TV when Ndo was on the ball. unless they saved shouting "hoops, hoops" only for when Ndo had the ball or exercised an unusual quick fire booing in the form of "boo boo boo boo" rather than the long drawn out "Boooooo" that is the usual.

As I said I heard nothing but apparantly its been mentioned on Rovers own forum now in the form of (at least) one Rovers fan condeming those making the noises. I'd feel dirty if I went on that forum so maybe one of the Rovers fans on here could comment.

:rolleyes: Hardly, your own fans have said it on your forum.

He was booed. (hint: oo-oo-oo) No way did I hear monkey chants. I like Joe. Did a good job for us last season. He was booed to put him off his game. And it worked,

We;re all LOI supporters. Dirty washing comes to light pretty quickly via forums a-la elephant song. If anybody had sang monkey songs, a substantial amount of the our support would be up in arms, as you well know. Why not review the game incidents when the bitterness has died down?

Well done Rovers. Delighted for Jason Byrne, not because he plays for Bohs, just despise him.

Was right beside it. Just booing, definately didn't hear monkeys noises.

Here it is, incontrovertibly. Didn't hear it first time round. Despicable.
