True. Can't take it away from you. You'll get old and cynical in a few years though!Quote:

What was official attendance last night reckon Wexford had about 75-85 fans there.
tbf Steve - at that point last season all Bohs had left to play for was the League Cup.Quote:

Coupled with the fact that Drogs will be using the Dalymount facilities for their European games - meaning that Bohs can't use the pitch on those dates to play games - and the fixtures start to pile up.
Not making excuses as it were - but the bigger picture needs to be looked at - call it "prioritising competitions"
Catch yourself on, every season is the same, every club has had to deal with this situation in the past.Quote:

An absolute ballbag of the highest order.:)
He's scored in several penalty shootouts, I think it was reasonable for him to take it. I think his biggest problem was that he'd just pegged it down the pitch and hadn't got his breath back.Quote:

By the sounds of things your plastic cutlery is 12 and a half% smaller than ours !:)Quote:

All said and done, I'm looking forward to the league visit next year
In fairness to the Bohs fans, we won our game and I still dont care about it. Its nice to keep up the winning run but its only the league cup.Quote:

Its one thing them wanting ot win it while in the final last year when they were out of the league chase and not in Europe but its a very different scenario this year, and perfectly understandable
I hope you don't come to the Brandywell then. £8 for my 5 year old last night in the stand. Free in the terracing but you can't guarantee a dry night in an Irish Summer.Quote:

Do the regulations stating hot and cold food be available at games not apply to the league cup?:confused:Quote:

Though it's news to me too. And in fairness, I didn't even notice the play off last year at the time.

no offence, like.
to everyone else - of course you want to win every game and every competition you are involved in but you cant. And the fact that we are out of the least important competition that we were involved in is an absolute blessing in disguise. Bohemian priorities lie elsewhere this season.
I hope Derry go on to win their favourite trophy in the world EVER. I really do. It appears to mean more to them than most.
