Weekend Latest

One season in this fixture they got 9 points. Now they're wildly celebrating getting a point in Tallaght.

How times have changed.

Like it or not we went through some dreaful years when our club was almost destroyed by some serious off field mis-management, we the fans have wrested control back and IMO albeit as an outsider I don't think Bohs fans are going to be able to do that and therefore your club is in serious danger of becoming defunct of at best marginalised..... I know what's it's like to have that concern for my club and believe you me I wouldn't wish that sceanario on any genuine fan which I've no doubt you are... anyway hope you do us a favour and play like that against both Sligo and Derry.

.....pity you cant seem to remember the wild celebrations when shams nicked an ill deserved point at Dalymount early season (11 V11). Or was that "different" ?

Any fan not undestanding supporters celebrating getting a draw - against bitterest rivals - from a goal down - a man down - away from home, is either (1) Nouveau fan with soooooo much to learn or (2) a muppet just bitter because "their" team didn't win.

Do let us know which you are :rolleyes:

Have to say I love the Rovers fans reaction to Bohs celebrating, A few people were saying coming out of the ground last night 'Look at them celebrating a draw, just shows how **** they are' . Of course when Rovers got their draw in Dalymount earlier in the season they all just stayed quiet and didn't even celebrate their goal:rolleyes:

In terms of the result, It was a good result for us, I don't see Bohs catching us now so we can just focus on overtaking Derry

Rovers fans I wouldn't worry too much, Sligo never win in Richmond, We will at least get a draw on Saturday

ps and yes you are going bust and we'll be having a party with our millions

Ohhh It hurts doesnt it!

We also celebrated too wildly for their liking there a couple of weeks ago.
Fans would want to watch that.

I've heard rumblings that a Luas full of Bohs fans after the game was pelted and had 2 windows put in?

Of course I remember our celebrations when we drew 1-1 with our last gasp goal.... the point I'm making is that for you last night's celebrations IMO were not just the joy of getting a point aginast your rivals etc.but also for me showed how little else you have to cheer about in comparison to where you were as a club not too long ago, it also IMO re-inforced how little you have to look forward to.

As for your calling me a muppet well that IMO is purely childish... as for offering me the choice of (2) options as to what type of fan I am, well IMO such a question is completly irrelevent and I'm not stupid enough to try and defend myself based on your either or questioning. However if it makes you feel good to try and appear clever good luck to you because frankly I don't need to defend myself or explain myself to you or anyone else as there is nothing to explain/defend.

...So shams celebrate - good. Bohs celebrate - sad ? Really ?

Fortherecord I didnt call you anything (as I dont know you) was simply generalising about the type of fan that would post such a petulent couple of posts.

The all prevailing logic in Tallaght is comedy gold, its a self sustaining delusion of greatness.
If a team loses to Shams then of course thats because they are **** and Shams are great and what else would you expect.
If a team beats Shams its only because its a "world cup final" (as it was refered to by Shams fans when we bet them for the 3rd time in a row) or the like and only further demonstrates how great Shams really are even if they did lose or drop points.
I think its why the always ultra forum is so enjoyable after results like these.

We still need Shams to drop points to have any chance so it's theirs to lose at the moment

If we could manage to get a win in Inchicore it would put Shams under even more pressure ahead of the 2 games that I could see them dropping some more points in. But it's going to be very tough in Inchicore. Pats front 2 have caused us plenty of problems this season.

For what it's worth you did in effect call me either a muppet or a a noveau fan by asking me to disclose which type was I.

Again by saying my posts were petulent is silly.... all i'm saying is that you now have very little to celebrate or look forward to...you may disagree and if you do good luck to you.

There's still the FAI Cup to look forward to and hopefully "celebrate" as you say. I know it's been a long time since you won the Cup but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore

Thats normal proceedure. Plenty of rocks landed - few cracked or broken windows alright but nothing to write home about. Usually happens at the first 3 or 4 stops from Tallaght.

Maybe there will be a boycott of Luas travel to Tallaght in future ;)

....oh dear, you called me silly :( expect the ever fair moderator will have something to say about that. Not like double standards would apply now is it ?

Tough to say but - well done Bohs.

That's some spirit to comeback and get a result. Which delights me cause of the result against Shams but worries me as we have to play ye twice before the season is out.

Best soap opera going this LOI malarky.

I don't have very much love for Boh's but it's comical that they are getting slagged off for scoring and getting a draw from the bitterest rivals away from home which could dent their title hopes.

It also gives us a glimmer of hope but the way we're playing I don't see us putting up a big challenge to last until the final day.

But............this reminds me a bit of the '95 season when Dundalk won it when both ourselves and Shels blew it on the final day against all odds. ;)

Those paranoid voices in your head are getting worse by the day. Can you point out where any Rovers fan here has said Bohs didn't deserve a point last night? Or where Rovers fans said we were great last night? Even reading the Ultras forum there is almost universal agreement that we were absolute muck in the second half last night and deserved what we got. It was the same for the Sligo match in Tallaght a few weeks ago, widespread acknowledgement that we were beaten by the better team on the night. Do you actually read threads or do you just type what the voices in your head are telling you?

Actually if you read the wording I used you'll see that I didn't call you silly, I did however refer to your comment that my posts were petulent as being silly and I quote; " saying my posts were petulent is silly..."

I fully agree if you win the cup you will have something major to celbrate... however my central point remains and that is that IMO you have very little to look forward to in the short to mid term future , at this point you may wish to continue to accept or reject that view frankly it makes no difference to me.

Strange but I can't find any post that slags Bohs off for celbrating last night... there are a number of posts making the point that they don't have too much to look forward to celbrating in the short to mid term future

Well it would seem that you haven't read them... no where did I slag off Bohs... in fact I stated that your fans reaction to getting the draw was understanably but then went on to say that it's kinda sad that last night could well be as good as it gets for you ( albeit the cup is still there for you) on account of your current financial problems etc....still if you like your colleage want to impune a different narrative then so be it.... personallly this is getting somewhat tedious, so good luck with your fight for survial and I genuinely hope we get to continue our on field rivalry next season.

Can we all just agree that the draw was a fair result in spite of an over fussy ref!

Calcio Jack why did you get rid of your sig? Is "Shamrock Rovers, not only Irelands most sucessful club but also the worlds best run club." not true anymore? It gave me a giggle anyway!

Rovers fans must be dissappointed that they have not wrapped up the title by now. Is it down to bad management by O'Neill when you consider the resources the club have at their disposal compared to their rivals ?

That season doesn't count...

On the game, When Bohs scored I said to my mate Rovers will up it now and should win the game but it just never came, They didn't use the extra man at all, Finn and Turner kept coming deep to pick up the ball and the times they didn't Sives or Murray just punted it up the field, Sives should have brought the ball into midfield and let the likes on Finn and Turner to push on

Why Fenlon persists with Flood out wide is beyond me, He can't beat his man and he can't defend, he is wasted out there, When he went up top he was brilliant, Gave Bohs a great out ball, Ran the channels and held the ball up

.....ah I see, comments in my posts are personal and about you but your comments are "different" :confused:. Again no double standards but at least we know where to go for a moderator when P Stu takes the Hooperman job full time :rolleyes:

marino - if you have a problem with a post, report it. Don't clog up a thread ranting about it. I've no problems someone calling your posts silly because - well, often enough, they are silly. And it's a bit of a leap from saying someone's posts are a bit silly to suggesting they're a muppet and bitter.

Go on Hooperman!

Put down the cape Pineapple you're kidding no one.

pineapple stu and Hooperman have been witnessed as separate people in the same place. They are not the same person.

Firstly no-one is as cool as Hooperman anyway.

No problem with any post Stu (hence why I didn't report). The problem, as I saw it, was your inability (as Moderator) to apply rules/standards without allowing your bias for/against certain club(s) influence the outcome.I am far from the first to say that and doubt I will be the last.
No problem with calling you biased because, well, you are.

Incidentally I already explained I was referring to CJ's post NOT him personally, but as ever the green and white goggles must have affected your vision

Of course it does. Crossing the road would be a nightmare with green and white goggles. You'd get run over a lot.

Below is what you wrote, the use of the word 'you' rather than 'your post' kinda flys in the face of your comment above



Any fan not undestanding supporters celebrating getting a draw - against bitterest rivals - from a goal down - a man down - away from home, is either (1) Nouveau fan with soooooo much to learn or (2) a muppet just bitter because "their" team didn't win.

Do let us know which you are

Anyway as I said it no odds to me and I've no problem accepting that if you say you meant the post rather than me fair enough (albeit it's hard to understand how one would refer to a post as a muppet), but what I don't like is your inaccuarate use of language , anyway if can do try and move on.
