New campaign, Foot.ie nametags must be worn at all matches at all times.
I wasn't trying to accuse the man of bias. Merely saying that with displays like that you can understand where the allegations are coming from. Honestly think it would be preferable to be accused of bias than admit to the levels of incompentence on display at times (and not just last night).
As for saying Kavanagh should have been sent off I did qualify that by saying if the ref was in any way consistent. Early doors either that was a peno or he deserves to be booked for the dive. After that he done any number of things that others were booked for - not that he was the only one.
To be fair match would probably have been abandoned, if he had been consistent.
yeah, made the trip (usually do). Most under 35 would know me anyway so feel free to say hello next time.Quote:

Fenlon is in the paper today saying he's embarrassed about something or other to do with their prep for friday, and that he'll be taking it up with the Bohs board. Anyone any idea what he's on about?
From a Rovers perspective, the result from Derry only was a good one.Quote:

Never understand when people say "Fenlon only spends the budget he's given" etc when he's in the press every other week trying to put pressure on the club, despite knowing exactly what the financial situation is, to wrangle more money for his first team squad.Quote:

Not apathy I don't think. He's had no training pre season and only played three full games. Give the man a break. "Take him off Cook!" FFS, years of watching the likes of Choice and Keth Foy hasn't had any affect apparently.Quote:

We do lack a striker who will finish he chances we create and we certainly don't look as sharp as at the end of last season, but some of the ****e you hear from so called supporters in the showgrounds is pathetic.
It's very early days and we'll be competing for a top three place come the end of the season, I have no doubt.

I going to assume you meant third. I think youre right and its somthing Ive said from the start of the season considering the squad an its depth. People have been geting ahead of themselves from the start and need to take a step back.Quote:

Don't see Benson being the new Kilduff you mention though; we'll just struggle this year. Once the Bowl pitch gets back to shape though, it does look like we'll pick up enough points to avoid bottom. Don't think I remember the peno shout though.Quote:

Ronan's Da is a nice man. He used to be a Fingal Ultra.Quote:

(Although he has a soft spot for Longford Town too, what with being from there and having played for the Town and all).
