Bohs Away

Devastated.:mad:

That woman official was an utter joke, the only thing worse tonight was the man in the middle. But honestly, the lass didnt have the balls to make any decisions, she tried to stay under the radar by not making any big(ie. free kicks) decisions. All she did was throw ins and she even got that wrong.
She was just a token gesture in there tonight.

We were basically robbed by a lack of consistancy in decision making, Bohs keeper must have been sent off as last man if Camaro was sent off as last man. Dont need to mention that horror challenge on Raf.

We were oh so close:(

Gutted is all I can say after that.

Woman should have nothing to do with refeering football, on any level. Don't care what anybody else thinks. Also Winters is a joke. Coward.

The only positive was a slick right hook by someone who will remain anoynomous and Forza Foreskin.

The officials were a joke last night alright:mad:. Bohs should have been down to 10 men in the 1st half after cronin's lunge on Raf. I actually thought the peno we got was dubious enough. But as Winter has given it, surely he has to send the keeper off. Where is the consistency? Camano didn't look like he got the ball to me and I don't think anyone could argue with a red card for a professional foul. And the throw in that lead to their 2nd equaliser should definetly have been given to us.

I thought Brush lost his nerve somewhat as the 2nd half went on. He was flapping at crosses and punching badly. The defence lost confidence in him and were defending deeper and deeper - Keane was blocking shots inside the six yard box! The goals in extra time were inevitable.

Good crowd up from Sligo, maybe 250/300. Rovers officials were counting at the turnstiles as we went in, so we must get a cut of the gate, which is good news for the club.

Following rovers can be heartbreaking stuff. It's what makes the little bit of success that we enjoy every now and then (11 years since we won the LC) all the more worthwhile. We now need to concentrate on picking up points in the league and hopefully beating Derry in the cup.

Bohs threw Kitchen sink at us for last 30mins and we somehow looked like holding out until that late blow in injury time after that there was only one winner as we were knackered , shocking display by the ref and the linesbird, Oman was all over Blinkhorn everytime yet kept winning the frees from the ref don't know how Cronin stayed on the pitch for that tackle on raf in the first half , just before the equaliser we had a clear peno disallowed , hadn't a great view of the sending off but it looked like a foul on the edge of the box thought straight red was a bit harsh can't understand how if the keeper is last man back and fouls in the box to concede a peno that he remains on the pitch the whole thing just stunk in the build up to bohs third goal an outswinging cross went miles over the endline but was not flagged. Thought Boco had a great game as did Blinkhorn very surpsied that Cook didn't bring on fresh legs for the last 10mins of normal time as we were jaded and hanging on by then great crowd up for game would say 302 (300 fans and Keith Foy....)

Gutted, :(.
But if anyone does find some puke, foreskin or Mouseys dignity please do contact the Dooley Express.

On another note, 20 quid in is too expensive as well. I don't know how Bohs can justify it.

Hurts way too much to even discuss the game...some pics here.

Well its understandable really.

We just don't get the luck, do we? Suppose when Richie Winter is ref, and you have a pair of tits on the sideline, what do you expect. Not a chance was that a Bohs ball a the sideline before their second, the ball clearly came off the Bohs player. Ball clearly crossed the line before Bohs third too.

:mad:

Feel sorry the players more than anything. They proved they can go with the best in the country, and gave everything.

As a neutral i`d rather not talk about the referee, i`d like to talk about one of the ball boys...we will call him Mr.Autumns, Mr.Autumns ie either inept at doing his job or he is a cheat.

Basically if the lines woman had made the right call at the end, we'd be through. That's depressing. The lads fought so hard and fair play to them, but they will have to keep the heads up because the game against dundalk is vital.

I honestly believe the standard of referring needs to be looked at if the league is going to take itself seriously.

Down in Galway the Referee was horrendous for both sides. Last night in Dallymont was worse. No consistency,a lineswoman who hadnt a clue. Was clearly a throw in for us in lead up to bohs injury time equaliser. And for their 3rd, ball went out of play and curled back in on endline and she wasnt even watching it happen. Id safely say she quessed 50% of the calls she made. Bohs should have had 2 straight reds also

If the league is ever going to grow and attract new fans, which it needs to survive we need a decent if not fair standard of refereeing. Very easy to get disillusioned watching officiating like that. Im involved with juniour football here and i dont think ive ever seen a performance as bad as those last 2 games with any of our local refs

On the game itself I thought we played well against all the circumstances that were working against us. Thought Ogrady was superb in middle of park. Spanish lad at back had a commanding game until sending off which i couldnt see properly but it did look like a red.

Boco was excellent too. Majority of players out there gave everything which i dont think could be said for the Galway performance.

Hopefully players can lift themelves for dundalk. Still loads to play for and if we put in regular performance like last nights and get fair officiating we should avoid relegation and have a good chance of a trophy. Keep the faith

Says it all when the refereeing makes the headlines.

I thought the whole thing stinked it was like watching Juventus a few years ago still shocked at some of the decisions at least I had only a short journey home last night, felt sorry for anyone who had to face a long trip back to Sligo after watching that thankfully Cook and the rest of the players managed to keep their dignanty and avoid further red cards.
